Only four more sleeps till Christmas so here’s my 2013 Christmas Mix: Baby Jesus, Born to Rock.

Enjoy!

Who said Christmas only comes once a year? I present to you Volume 8 of my Christmas mix cd. I typically send it out via snail mail but not on this day! Click here to download the zip file.

Note: my brother reports that windows doesn’t like the file – but that they songs were retrieved anyways. Silly windows.

update: after some technical difficulties, the album was re-uploaded – but it seems that the track ordering has changed.

Playlist:
1 Nightmare Before Christmas “Making Christmas”
2 Jay Brannan “Dear Santa”
3 Sulfjan Stevens “I Saw Three Ships”
4 The Hot Rods “Santa’s Too Drunk to Drive”

I just NOW realize that there are 3 Sulfjan Stevens songs on this. Ah well. It is just that time of the year.

I don’t read many music blogs anymore but I do read I am Fuel, You are Friends religiously. The lovely writer has great taste in music (and from my home state to boot!) and I’ve discovered many bands through her work. If you’re in the mood, head on over and check out her summer mix tape since, you know, today is the summer solstice and all. Happy summer people!
