Hey there. There’s not a lot new here, although I will update this post as new songs are released for the 2007 season. But what’s here is pretty top notch; highlights include incredibly the high notes hit by Montt Mardie on “I Wish Every Day…”, the Beach Boys surf-pop of Irene, Hello Saferide’s instant Christmas classic “I Pod Christmas”, Parker Lewis odd little indie pop dittie “X-mas Carols NYC”, and the strange electronic rendering of The Knife’s “Christmas Reindeer”.
P.S. Check out the Songs:Illinois Christmas Mix if you’re at all interested in great, off-the-beaten-path (anti) Christmas tunes.

Thank you so much for the tunes! I’m loving them.
….pss. I think it’s “El Perro Del Mar”
A huge thanks for the list! We decorated our tree to the tunes last night!
Best,

This is the best Christmas album I have heard since Phil Spector’s effort and more than makes up for the usual stuff we have to put up with at this time of year.

Yo Chris. Ah, I love this x-mas collection. I was a little surprised though to se me and Anna’s silent night covered labelled as “A Perfect Circle”. It’s really cool though but it should be “Deep & Shallow and Thomas Denver Jonsson” really.
