Christmas Music?

Manitoba Christmas songs from Rusty and Savannah, Oldfolks Home, and JP Hoe, a strong Cover of the Pogues' Fairytale of New York, a new Christmas song from Mark Kozelek from an album that isn't even released until November NEXT YEAR, Bad Religion throwing a curveball, and a few more.

Cheap Trick's Come On Christmas is one of my favourite Christmas songs ever, even if they did just change the words to one of their own songs.


Rusty and Savannah - Under the Mistletoe - free download at Manitoba Music right now, buy the whole album from itunes.


Calexico, Iron & Wine, Glen Hansard, Kathleen Edwards - Fairytale of New York


Have you seen the documentary on The Pogues and that tune? It's very well done, and you can find it on YouTube.

Bright Eyes - Blue Christmas


Mark Kozelek - O Come All Ye Faithful
