December 2015:
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. (Sorry, I'd wanted to get this up sooner because no one listens to Christmas music after this week, but I've been going through a lot.)
1. Kishi Bashi - "It's Christmas, But It's Not White Here in Our Town"
Originally released only on flexi-disc, check out this dreamy snowflake of a song.
2. Paul McCartney - "Wonderful Christmastime"
Pretty sure this is my favorite Christmas tune.
3. Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - "Big Bulbs"
A little holiday innuendo.
4. Donny Hathaway - "This Christmas"
So soulful.
5. Oppenheimer - "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"
Sounds enough like the original, but they definitely make it an Oppenheimer song.
6. The Band - "Christmas Must Be Tonight"
An often-overlooked holiday gem.
7. They Might Be Giants - "Feast of Lights"
I had to throw in a Hanukkah song, so it might as well be a good one.
8. Willie Nelson - "Here Comes Santa Claus"
Willie Nelson is somehow able to make any song he sings sound like he wrote it.
9. Jack's Mannequin - "The Lights & Buzz"
I don't listen to any of Jack's Mannequin's other stuff, but this song really hit me hard back in 2009 when I was living in California.
10. Bob Dylan - "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"
It's now a family tradition for me to see how deep into Bob Dylan's Christmas in the Heart we can get before my dad yells, "Turn it off!" Funniest Christmas album ever, though perhaps unintentionally?
