Christmastime is Here

As the holidays are approaching I’ve compiled a list of music to tide me over until New Years. I’m still looking around the interweb for anything else that catches my eye, but here’s a short list of christmas goodies:

• Daniel Johnston’s “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”
• Beck’s “The Little Drum Machine Boy”
• of Montreal’s “My Favorite Christmas (In One Hundred Words or Less)”
• Grandaddy “Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland”
• James Brown “Santa Claus Goes Straight To The Ghetto”
• My First Keyboard “Christmas Is Only Good If You’re A Girl (Boy)”
• of Montreal’s “Christmas Isn’t Safe For Animals”
• Queens of Sheeba “Christmas time Celebration”
• the Olivia Tremor Control’s “Christmas With William S.”
• Ringo Starr “I Wanna Be Santa Claus”
• Arcade Fire’s “Jingle Bell Rock”
• Tom Wait’s “Christmas Card From a Hooker In Minneapolis”
• Summer Hymns “Santa Couldn’t Fit You Under My Christmas Tree”
• T. Rex “Christmas Bop”
• Major Organ and the Adding Machine “What A Wonder World”
• Tiny Tim’s “White Christmas”
• The White Stripe’s “Candy Cane Children”

And of course, no holiday season is complete without the corner stone of christmas soundtrack:
