Christmas Mix! Finally!

Let's pretend he just saw Santa.

Holy Moly Merry Christmas!!! So, um, sorry about saying I would put this up last Thursday and then actually putting it up five days later, but Christmas picked a bad time of year to take place. If it wasn't finals week and I didn't have a handful of finals projects due I might be able to better take in the abundant cheer that the Christmas season brings. Oh well, at least I've got next week. So, instead of studying for a History of Modern Design exam I bring you Jangle Bells: An Indiepop Christmas! Now, not only is it an incredible play on words, but it is also a very festive, and very enjoyable holiday mix! This mix is a lot more varied than last years, and a bit more interesting, too. There's definitely some of your standard indiepop fare, but there's also the beautiful vocal harmonizing of The Free Design's "Christmas Is The Day," the dancefloor stomp of Thee Headcoatees' "Santa Claus," "Mr. Scrooge" from girl-group, The Orchids, and yknow, much more. So download away and I hope it makes your Christmas just a little bit poppier!

Okay, so I've been getting a fair amount of emails concerning the compilation CD... Well, the short answer is that it's done! It is actually done!!! It's ready to buy and everything, but I haven't made it available to buy yet because I'm gonna be heading home for an extended holiday in a week and I wont be able to mail anything out while I'm there – not to mention that after these last few weeks of school, I just want a break from everything! So, as for the long answer? Expect to be able order one come early to mid January! I promise this time! :) It's funny because they still have "June 2008" screenprinted on the back... oh, procrastination!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Stumble It!

HOW COULD I NOT MAKE A CHRISTMAS MIX?

I'll be resuming normal posting again next Monday, but I wanted to get this posted before the weekend, because – at least on the east coast – we should be getting some snow and ice and other fun winter things! Plus, yknow, Christmas is right around the corner. I've yet to shop or anything, but we did get our Christmas tree decorated last weekend and it's beautiful! Anyway, I hope this mix enhances your holiday spirits. There's lots of good stuff here, some I hope you guys like it! Some of them, The Cat's Miaow track in particular, may not truly be Christmas songs, but they're close enough and too good to leave off. Enjoy and Merry Christmas! and Merry all other holidays, too! :D

P.S. I have been tossing around the idea of maybe starting to do some podcasts with commentary and fun stuff, but I thought I'd see if it's something that people would listen to... So, does that sound like something you would be interested in? If so, I guess I may start doing that – its always seemed like it would be really fun.

Stumble It!
