florence and the machine & billy bragg - fairytale of new york (the pogues & kirsty maccoll cover) (bbc live in session)
[one of my all time favorite songs gets a pre-xmas performance on bbc's live in session. i missed this a month ago, but it's never too late to discover a brilliant cover by billy bragg and florence and the machine. i'm totally getting misty!!!]

happy holidays from wongie's music world

it's been an amazing year and i just wanted to wish all of you a wonderful holiday season over the next week.
since i'm away myself, here are some holiday gems that i thought i'd leave for you.


the pogues feat kirsty maccoll - fairytale of new york
[definitely one of my favorite songs of ALL time. in the process, might have possibly made me less sappy in life as i was growing up!]


declan o'rourke feat nina kinert - christmas wine (acoustic version)
[a new discovery from ireland which i keep on going back to these days. really beautiful and wistful in the best way.]


abba - happy new year
[um... need i say more?]
