Agreed. The Christmas Song is good not matter who covers it.

Fun topic. Just had a holiday party this weekend (involved a small keg of dogfish head and a rye whiskey punch), and the most played song was probably JT/TI "My Love," but that's jsut cuz folks wanted to get down. I particularly enjoyed:

Ramones -- Merry Christmas (I don't want to fight)
Waitresses -- Christmas Wrapping
Charlie Brown, of course, though the new remaster is a lil too clean
The Walkmen -- Christmas Party (nice and boozy)
The Pogues -- Fairytale of New York
Run DMC -- Christmas in Hollis
The Darkness - Christmas Time
Sufjan -- Come on! Let's Boogie to the Elf Dance! (the traditionals are nice, too, in that reverential sort of way)
Willie Nelson -- Pretty Paper
Assorted Johnny Cash xmas songs
Bowie and Bing -- Little Drummer Boy ("Oh yes, I like some of the old stuff--John Lennon, Harry Nilsson")
Guster -- Donde esta Santa Claus
Kinks -- Father Christmas


What seasonal song do you hate? I always hated Macca's "Simply Havin' a Wonderful Christmastime," but I played it anyway.

where will you be christmas day 1917-1959 (leadbelly, lightning hopkins, sacred harp singers)
This sounds interesting.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

shoreman----where will you be christmas day is a great record, all year 'round. highly highly highly rec'd. seriously.

love that waitresses song, btw.

anyone within range of princeton wprb radio listen to the 24-hour xmas marathon? jewish dude stays up for 24 hours on xmas eve playing all christmas music. madness. been listening to that show for more than a decade now.

Great thread. I just made a huge funky-ass massy x mas mix this weekend.

My current favorites are sufjan stevens' songs....

but my all time winter favorite this year is gonna be the Knife's "Reindeer"

I think between all the work and studying I have to do this weekend, I gonna find some way to burn both a christmas mix and a I hate myself and want to die mix.
