(SPECIAL EXTRA-LONG, CHRISTMAS EPISODE!) First up a fantastic christmas vs.
Depeche Mode mashup by
DJ Tabernacle called "Enjoy the Silent Night" from
a 35 track free christmas sampler from Michigan's
Suburban Sprawl records. Download the whole glorious thing
here. Next the UK's
The Late Greats did a version of probably my favorite xmas song "Sleigh Ride" from another great new compilation called
It's Not Like Christmas (
iTunes). Then from
TSiMH favorite, Sweden's
Jens Lekman did "Run Away with Me" from his extremely limited release
USA October 2005 tour EP. Next novelty songster
Bob Rivers did a great parody of
The Carpenters rendition of 'Sleigh Ride' called "Flu Ride" from his album
Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire (
iTunes,
Amazon). Then the UK's
Holly Golightly did "Christmas Tree On Fire" from her new EP by the same name (
iTunes). Next
Ingo Star Cruiser (feat.
Gaby Fröden) did a quality cover of another of my favorite xmas songs,
Low's "Just Like Christmas" this version found on the afore mentioned
It's Not Like Christmas (
iTunes). Then another
TSiMH favorite,
DJ Rx did "Happy RxMas and a Whole Lotta Love" from his free totally awesome album
thepartyparty, which you used to be able to download for free from
his site, or buy in physical form, which I hope you did. And finally, yet another
TSiMH favorite,
Belle & Sebastian did "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" which can be found on their single for it in
eMusic.
