Christmas Mix 2008

No Pogues ‘Fairytale of New York’, no Beach Boys 'Little Saint Nick', no ‘Tyrannosaurus Rex for Christmas’ by The Lovely Eggs (one of the highlights of a new Christmas LP - Volume 4 - from Cherryade Records), but apart from this I can't pick too many holes in Scott’s Christmas mix. Been a pleasure re-visiting A Smile and a Ribbon’s ‘Heavenly Christmas’ (originally featured on Cherryade Christmas #3), and The Bobby McGee’s ‘Santa De La Crux’, also from the new Cherryade, is just about the cleverest little Christmas song I’ve heard. Enjoy the following festive treats here at Scott's Christmas Mix

arcade fire - jinglebell rock
the raveonettes - the christmas song
belle and sebastian - i took some time for christmas
bobby mcgees - santa de la crux
bossettes - damn fine slay ride
lucky lucky pigeons - red santa
ramones - merry Christmas (i don't want to fight tonight)
half man half biscuit - its cliched to be cynical at Christmas
ronettes - frosty the snowman
waitresses - christmas wrapping
a smile and a ribbon - heavenly christmas
wave pictures - we dress up like snowmen
camera obscura - little donkey
suburban kids with biblical names - jullaten 2004
Laura Cantrell - Christmas Letter Home
The Just Joans - Christmas Teardrops 'Neath Mistletoe

And more about that Cherryade Christmas Volume 4soon, but it's more than worth your hard-earned ｣6. There's also a deal available where you can get the current one along with Volumes 1, 2 and 3, for only ｣15, but by my calculations that'd take you well into February, and you'd have to REALLY like Christmas music for that... Might be worth it though, there's nuggets aplenty to be found.
