Day 17 - 24 Days of Christmas

Some of you are a little young to know who Wham! was (as well as what an album is) but Make it Big made many spins as a young’n on my turntable. Unfortunately, I never had the privilege of jamming their Christmas hit Last Christmas until I was much older and wise enough to not listen to - or ever admit to listening to - Wham!

I mean umm, Wham! sucked, I would never listen to that rubbish.

Either way, James Dean Bradfield does a nice rendition that’s been around on YouTube for a while. The audio is a good one for the playlist.

Requests

Had some requests this week to see if anyone has tabbed anything from This Warm Christmas or any of the newer Donavon Frankenreiter stuff. Get those pens/papers out and get to work!

Days 15/16 - 24 Days of Christmas

I see another trend - me forgetting about my job and you getting two songs every other day. The ever calming sounds of the original Parrothead should soothe your anger towards BDM. In fact, you’re probably so angry that it might take two Buffett tunes. If you’re anywhere near me today, its cold. And the island sound warms up my office a slight bit.

Day 15

Artist: Jimmy Buffett
Album: Christmas Island
Song: Mele Kalikimaka

Days 13/14 - 24 Days of Christmas

It happened again. Weekends find me either out of town or just preferring to spend time with family. Hope your feelings aren’t hurt too bad. Have received no requested videos of yet. Was I correct about the day 12 song? Did your lady friends find you more attractive after playing it? On to the tunes.

Day 13

Artist: The Vince Guaraldi Trio (from A Charlie Brown Christmas)
Song: Christmas Time is Here

Day 12 - 24 Days of Christmas

Take it from me, ladies like this one. In fact, you should find an open-mic night at a local coffee house and duet it up with your significant other. If you happen to take my advice, please video and send it in. I can promise it will be aired here. Merry Christmas to me.

Artists: Leon Redbone & Zooey Deschannel (from the movie Elf)
Song: Baby It’s Cold Outside

Day 11 - 24 Days of Christmas

I really don’t have anything witty to say but I do like the song. Their MySpace has a note that they have a new Xmas EP coming out soon with a song called Christmas in Cleveland, I assume that could be entertaining?

Artist: The Raveonettes
Album: The Holiday Sampler 2003
Song: The Christmas Song
