GIVE THIS VERSION THE XMAS #1: ed sheeran & andrea bocelli - perfect symphony
ed sheeran & andrea bocelli - perfect symphony
ed has said that he plans on doing various duets for his uber ballad 'perfect' since the very beginning. so after getting queen bey for his 1st collab, he's gone and recorded this symphonic duet with opera singer andrea bocelli and its well... kind of perfect! i can only imagine who else he has up his sleeve! but regarding this version, just hearing andrea go into his sotto voice is enough to get lovely goosebumps!

after 5 years of disbanding, lcd soundsystem went ahead and released this downer xmas track on christmas day! though there are no reports of reuniting, maybe james murphy and co will release one off singles every year now! will it be a christmas miracle?

NEW SAM SMITH: sam smith - like i can / have yourself a merry little !christmas
sam smith - like i can
now that sam smith's year long transition from UK export to grammy nominee (and possibly winner) has come to fruition, the label folks have FINALLY decided to put out this popular album track as an official release!
sam smith - have yourself a merry little christmas
you know you're in the big leagues when your christmas performance for the grammy nominations show gets released as a proper single. somehow the wistful longing of sam's voice perfectly fits with one of the most sentimental sad xmas songs of all time. shoe gazing christmas poses for all!

XMAS MIX 2013: boyzone - the hour before christmas
boyzone - the hour before christmas
so um... downer christmas thanks to the 20th anniversary reunion of this boyband.. cue the sound of no one caring (though ronan keating sure has aged well).
XMAS MIX 2013: kate nash - i hate you this christmas
kate nash - i hate you this christmas
[UPDATE: now with a brand spanking new video!] the rocked out indie gal kate nash releases an EP of christmas tunes and it's definitely not a collection of xmas cheer. feel like an antithesis to the holiday spirit, this is your anthem!
XMAS MIX 2013: lily allen - somewhere only we know
lily allen - somewhere only we know
chosen as this years official theme song to the john lewis xmas campaign, lily allen covers the classic keane song and gets a wonderful visual accompaniment from this animated storyline. le sigh...

sharon jones & the dap kings - ain't no chimneys in the projects
nothing like bringing some serious reality to the xmas spirit retro soul style!
XMAS MIX 2013: all time low - fools holiday
all time low - fools holiday
for a punk pop outfit, these boys have actually crafted a pretty decent xmas tune for the season! taken off the punk goes christmas compilation, this is one festive track that i wouldn't mind coming back to this season.
XMAS MIX 2013: rizzle kicks - happy that you're here (christmas song)
rizzle kicks - happy that you're here (christmas song)
trying to take a shot at the UK xmas #1, hip hop duo vie for the top spot with this drunken jazzy hip hop number. not sure if it has the chops, but it's a wacky alternative to your usual fare.
XMAS MIX 2013: kelly clarkson, trisha yearwood & reba mcentire - silent night
kelly clarkson, trisha yearwood & reba mcentire - silent night
taken off her wonderful 'cautionary christmas music tale' special last week, this lovely performance was a definite highlight from the evening (especially when they do an acapella three part harmony that just kicks it). awesome!

XMAS MIX 2013: carly rae jepson - mittens ('rewind' / 'not in love' by nanalew - short film)
carly rae jepson - mittens ('rewind' / 'not in love' by nanalew - short film)
a fan of the canadian filmmaker shawna howson (aka nanalew) has mashed together two of her shorts with the carly rae jepson song as it's soundtrack. the end result works wonderfully and really should be released officially this way. hey in the xmas spirit, everyone wins!
XMAS MIX 2013: the killers feat dawes - christmas in la
the killers feat dawes - christmas in la
welcome to your downer LA xmas song of the season. with the help of owen wilson and harry dean stanton, they show us that it sucks to be there this time of year!
