We'd rather have chew toys than yule logs
I almost forgot it was time to post my Christmas music grab-bag this year! Oy vey. These are just a small handful of things randomly selected from my rather insane collection of holiday tunage, which seems to grow ever larger thanks to Amazon's free daily DLs and the lunatunes LJ comm. It's getting almost unlistenable in that it takes so many days to get through the music, I can't listen to it all before the hols. (And when I say grab-bag, be aware that this is a mix of mp4s and mp3s.)
Pretty and short: Careful What You Wish For by Glasvegas
Trip-hoppy: Christmas Is a Feeling in Your Heart by Love Colony
Cute: Donde Esta Santa Claus by Guster
If you have only known Diahanne Carroll from her role as June in White Collar, here's a chance to hear her singing a favorite Christmas tune: Do You Hear What I Hear? by Diahanne Carroll
Another favorite from my fave contemporary Christmas album: I Celebrate the Day by Relient K
A classic, from the woman who sang "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home"): Marshmallow World by Darlene Love
If you heard Rachel sing this in her overemoting, grating style on Glee recently, wipe it from your mind with the original and still the best: Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters
Christmas goes a little dark: New Heart for Christmas by Kill Hannah
And a little dirgelike: Xmas Cake by Rilo Kiley
Let me know if any links don't work -- I've put these up on my vids site, so that means PLEASE RIGHT CLICK to DL.
ETA: I've tested the DLs and for some reason, I keep getting an .html extension on the songs. Can someone explain to me why that happens? If I just delete the .html, it accepts it as an .m4a or .mp3 just fine, but I don't understand why, when I put in the exact URL that should work, it won't DL correctly. I'm not very good with this short of crap, obviously. This has happened to me consistently of late with stuff on my vids site, and I don't understand it.
Let us not speak of Yuletide and stories. I am at the point of just running around and screaming. I am freaking the fuck out, y'all.
