[Mrs. Rannous]

I am Spotify-illiterate, so I'll need a bit of help here.

 

[JZilla]

A couple zips if anybody still needs more.  15 tracks I've always liked that aren't streaming.  A lot of it is emo-y rock stuff.. I never got super into the 00's emo-y stuff, but it worked great for Christmas songs.  Out of the mess , if nothing else, I think 1,3,6 & 7 are pleasers for any mix and 5 is must have

http://ul.to/rda3jq34

01 Divine Weeks - O' Holy Night (from A Lump of Coal compilation, 1991)

02 In Memory - The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year (from A Santa Cause comp, 2004)

03 Copeland - Do You Hear What I Hear? (from Maybe This Christmas Tree, 2004)

04 Tom McRae - Wonderful Christmastime (Maybe This Christmas Tree - I hate the orig but :h: this moodsetter)

05 Badly Drawn Boy - Donna And Blitzen (from About A Boy, 2002 - top 5 rock era original, shame it's not streamed)

06 Rooney - Merry Xmas Everybody (from Music From The O.C. 3, 2004)

07 The Beautiful Mistake - A Cradle In Bethlehem (A Santa Cause, everything that's right with emo xmas)

08 Mark Lanegan - We Three Kings (from Dark Mark Does Christmas 2012)

09 The Hold Steady - Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You (Rags covers EP 2014)

10 AKIM & The Teddy Vann Producton Co - Santa Claus Is A Black Man (1973)

11 fun. - Sleigh Ride (from Holidays Rule, 2012)

12 Thrice - Carol Of The Bells (holiday release, 2005)

13 Pedro The Lion - Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel (from I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day, 2002)

14 Tortured Conscience - The Little Drummer Boy (from A Brutal Christmas, 2002) 

15 From First To Last - X12 Days Of XXXMASX (A Santa Cause)

 

[JZilla]

Last but not least.  This is out of print-ish, hard to find, all should have, Merry Christmas and enjoy

Is everyone done so that we can discuss surprising omissions?

Let me know if you want the sequence changed.

Thanks so much.  I'm good with random.

Still need links for NV, Doug B, Tom Servo, Cosjobs and ilov80s

I am in the same boat as Mrs. Rannous.

Is Spotify a subscription-based service? Can someone just go over there and put a list together? What's the set-up (register for membership, I assume, and then ...?)?

 

[Eephus]

I can compile a Spotify playlist.  Let me know if you want to change the sequencing.

Looks like the Christmastime for the Jews track isn't available.

Not a bad selection for my desert island ice floe at Xmas time, if I do say so myself:

1.09: "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)" - Savatage
2.05: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" - Mannheim Steamroller
3.09: "I Believe in Father Christmas" - Greg Lake
4.05: "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)" - Nat 'King' Cole
5.09: "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" - Burl Ives
6.05: "Do They Know It's Christmas?" - Band Aid
7.09: "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" - Nana Mouskouri
8.05: "Frosty The Snowman" - Jimmy Durante
9.09: "Same Auld Lang Syne" - Dan Fogelberg
10.05: "Back Door Santa" - Clarence Carter
11.09: "Christmastime for the Jews" - Darlene Love
12.05: "O Tannenbaum" - Nat 'King' Cole
13.09: "All I Want For Christmas is You" - Vince Vance & the Valiants
14.05: "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" - Frank Sinatra & Cyndi Lauper
15:09: "Please Come Home for Christmas" - Charles Brown

 

[Doug B]

Thanks, Eephus -- will figure it out shortly.

I have spotify, but don't know how to rig playlist. Could someone arrange mine? No particular order except maybe not put August Burns Red next to Kasey Musgraves.  

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I like this very seasonally appropriate version of O, Tannenbaum.

 

[cosjobs]

Sorry, Had to do some crisis management last 5-6 days.

Here's what I think I am missing:

Depressing xmas - John Prine - Christmas in Prison

Instrumental - Jethro Tull - Holly Herald

Plus two more I think, I'll need to review the spreadsheet

 

[cosjobs]

The Blues Magoos - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!

Pigeons dancing Jingle bell - African Style!!!

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Those pigeons are disturbing.

 

[Doug B]

Thanks, Eephus -- will figure it out shortly.

Aw heck ... Eephus, feel free to queue it up in draft order. I think that actually works pretty well, especially with Charles Brown closing out the set. Just skip "Christmastime for the Jews" -- my backup pick for that category probably isn't on Spotify either ("12 Yats of Christmas" by Benny Grunch and the Bunch).

 

[Eephus]

Doug B songs added to the OP and Ubermix

The Benny Grunch & The Bunch song was on Spotify along with the other 26 tracks on their double Xmas LP including:

"Santa's Got Your Personal Information"

"I Could See the Aluminum Tree Through the Pitcha Winda"

"Red Light Cameras & Pot Holes for Auld Lang Syne"

The Benny Grunch & The Bunch song was on Spotify ...

  Much appreciated!

 

[Eephus]

I've listened to the first four mixes posted (RHE, Simey, Zilla, BD) and shuffled through the ubermix a bit.  Very nice work everyone although "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" seems to come up often for some reason.
