A grab bag of old standards and new classics today.
Palace Songs: Christmastime in the Mountains
I will follow Will Oldham's voice wherever it wants to lead me.
Bing Crosby/David Bowie: Peace on Earth/The Little Drummer Boy
Classic!
Low: Little Drummer Boy
Creepy and Gorgeous!
Willie Nelson: Pretty Paper
Great tune. I actually prefer Orbison's version, and challenge JV to post it.
My Morning Jacket: Santa Claus is Back in Town
Great, boozy, bluesy, old school MMJ feel on this.
Patti Page: Pretty Snowflakes
Because you have to have at least one xmas tune with children singing the chorus. I guess.
Vince Guraldi: Christmas Time is Here (Vocal Version)
That's more like it.
Kyu Sakamoto: Sukiyaki
I don't care if it doesn't fit the 77 Santas mold, I love this song.

It's funny. Every Christmas, I want to hear Sukiyaki. Honest to God. The air turns chilly and I start hearing that song in my head. I can't explain it, but thanks!
i agree. it also makes me want to go into a near empty chinese restaurant--one of those two floor deals with lots of decorations--and drink an afternoon away.
CLASSIC david and bing so good
Hi, I tried to download Bill Oldham's Christmastime in the Mountains and I'm getting a wma file instead of mp3 or m4a. Can I convert it or something? Or is it something you can fix on your end? I got everything else OK -- THANKS so much for an eclectic mix of holiday tunes!
