It’s been a couple of years since I’ve dropped any Christmas music on you. Prior to Rdio (RIP) and other music services, it was a little more of a chore to source and share decent tunes. It takes work to put these together but I do enjoy it for a few reasons: I like decent…
The US Thanksgiving holiday has passed which means it’s time for an updated Christmas playlist. As per the norm, it extends a little further than the standard Andy Williams and Bing Crosby (though those are classics and good in their own right) which you can find on most local, AM/FM Christmas stations. If you’ve been…
As much as it pained my office mate, I started the process of organizing the 2012 edition of CreepySanta in October. It’s not the be-all, end-all Christmas album but it should be a good mix for you to keep your Christmas party hoppin’ or help soundtrack your tree decorating festivities. This ain’t the first Christmas…
I’m a little late in getting this to you but you’ve still got a couple of weeks to hopefully enjoy it before you’re completely tired of Christmas music. If you’re new to these parts, feel free to dig back through the archives and find any/all of the previous tracks I’ve posted. Hopefully the links are…
If you had no context around it, you would have to assume that Nick Waterhouse and his band The Tarots are straight out of 1961. A classic R&B sound that is fresh in every way. So good. With only an EP out of 4 songs there’s not nearly enough here for me to be satisfied…
A little Friday music for your listening pleasure. A bit hipster but it features a banjo which makes it banjo hipster. Banjo hipster is good. Similar sound to Sufan Stevens which is as hipster as it gets. This is a great way to start an album. Takes a minute or so to really get going;…
In an effort to forget that it’s supposed to break the 110°F mark this week, I put together some tunes that I hope will keep me from going stir-crazy as I avoid all sun contact until October. http://www.christianross.net/muxtape/10/ Or, if you’re inclined, the full list: http://www.christianross.net/muxtape/
Needing something a little more contemporary to get through the week? Here’s 5 tracks that should fit the bill. The first three are on a pretty steady rotation around our house. And yes, there’s an Owl City track that sounds pretty much like Owl City but I bet if you give it 3 listens you’ll…
Looking for those special tracks to spend a nice evening with your significant other in front of the tree? Welcome to the Jazz/classic portion of our album; including one of my most all-time favorite Christmas tracks by trumpet player Troy Andrews. All instrumental and probably best played last in the evening if you know what’s…
Let’s build out our CreepySanta2010 album a little further, today’s tracks come courtesy of my foot as it taps. Let loose and dance a little. Or crank it up and watch your little ones do a little jig of their own. Note: There’s a high possibility that I drop a 5th track through the Twitter…
It’s still early enough in the holiday season that you shouldn’t be tired of Christmas music yet. I’ve actually been spinning Christmas tracks now for a few weeks trying to sort through what I have and what you might like to hear. If you were around my Internet neighborhood last year then you probably know…
Finally got around to checking out the video posted by Joshua and can confirm that this is probably a good addition to your summer of 2010 music rotation. Janelle Monae via @blankenship

Today’s installment of free Christmas music is themed to the tune of Sufjan Stevens. Pick up his Songs for Christmas boxed set to get all 5 albums worth. I have some more I might add if the response is good. Sufjan Stevens – That Was The Worst Christmas Ever! [audio:http://bit.ly/4DOlUQ] Download: http://bit.ly/4DOlUQ Sufjan Stevens –…

Welcome and congrats. You won’t actually see this post hit the front page of my site, it’s intentional. As previously mentioned, it comes…
In terms of posts, this is the third. In terms of songs posted, this is the fourth. Paying attention? One of my favorites over the last couple of years, an all-Canadian line-up.

One day in and I’ve already had some great submissions to the show. Still time left to get your favorites sent in. The more the merrier. Today’s track comes courtesy of my Kansas City dotcomrade Eric Hurst (web | twitter). The man knows his way around some Rails code and has recently launched himself into…
