Christmas Music List

- A Charlie Brown Christmas
Ok, I know, this is pretty typical. But you can't deny the fact that there's some pretty good jazz going on here. Vince Guaraldi, while not the best jazz musician in the world, has some pretty good chops, and puts together a nice little band. This one will bring back memories, to be sure.

- Jingle Cats
Ok, this one I actually hate. I just had to list it though, first because it is simply amazing to me that someone can make this much money basically having fun with samples of cats meowing, and second, because my kids like it for some reason. You know what is really scary about this? This is only volume 1 of the Jingle Cats collection! What is this world coming to?

So, that's my list. Not much, I know. I have pretty simple holiday musical tastes. I generally use these when my little family wants to listen to something "Christmassy," or when I want to create some sort of "magical Christmas atmosphere" for my two little boys. Well, the Tull one isn't good for this, but the Celtic Christmas III and the Cheery are good for this.

Anyway, good Christmas to all of you who celebrate it, and a very happy new year to us all.

Update:
I've just been chastised and must make an addition/adendum to this post, as per my wife's instructions. I honestly did forget this one though.

- Bing Crosby - That Christmas Feeling
Of the myriad of Chrismas music that Bing pumped out, I like this one the best. Not sure why, I just do. I guess, what I'm saying is, if you have to have Bing crooning around Christmastime, this is the best one, in my opinion, to have on hand for just that purpose.

A blast of Phil Spector's A Christmas Gift To You always goes down a treat in the SBB! nuclear bunker...

The Spector collection is of course a classic.

I am extremely resentful of great artists who so completely fuck up their lives that I cannot push aside said personal life when appreciating their art. I am having real problems separating Spector -- an accused murderer -- and Michael Jackson -- an accused child molester and kidnapping conspirator -- from their wonderful achievements right now.

I lkike the Spector stuff aswell.
Personally, I like Otis Redding's "Merry Christmas, Baby"
