OK, I know that previously, I commented on ho much I was enjoying the Christmas music in the office. However, after my 5th or 6th helping of Michael Bolton's overdone cheeser "Jingle Bell Rock" and my 3rd lap through the version of "Jingle Bells" done completely with dog barks, I am ready for Spring. Is it that Christmas is a topic not conducive to great music? Do its many different stories not lend themselves to being told in an awesome song with lasting power? Why can't Pearl Jam bust out a "Yellow Ledbetter"-ish Christmas Carol? What's stopping Wolfmother from conjuring the Christmas spirit in a face-melting extravaganza of sound? Ahh...there are some tasty holiday tunes out there. Happy hunting my friends.
Christmas Chr-aziness:
Robert Earl Keen - Merry Christmas from the Family (I know I already mentioned this one once, but it is relevant to the topic of the day)
Dave Matthews - The Christmas Song (possibly my favorite Dave song)
Manheim Steamroller - Deck the Halls
