Mix for That: Because (Almost) Everybody Loves Christmas

I suppose the effort and the timeliness of this Christmas playlist exemplifies the Christmas spirit that pneumonia and being snowed in for a week straight has harbored for me, personally. Regardless, though, I hope every one of you holiday lovers is basking in the heartwarming, cinnamon-scented, Poinsetta-motifed, red and green Christmas eve that today hopefully is.



1) Fairytale of New York (Pogues cover) - Stars
2) Baby It's Cold Outside (f. Kelsie McNair) - Stop for Capes
3) Oh Holy Night - Brand New
4) Handjobs for the Holidays - Broken Social Scene
5) It's Christmas So We'll Stop 2008 - Frightened Rabbit
6) My Dear Acquaintance (A Happy New Year) - Regina Spektor
7) Little Drummer Boi - Kelsie McNair

Vol. 5: Rejuvenate Mah Shit

Well, shoot - I dropped the ball on this blog. Although I often make themed playlists, I've done nothing to get them up here, so I'm just going to jump right into this one. The theme is "Rejuvenate Mah Shit," an upbeat collection of songs to get you (and me) back in the game! Whatever that game may be.

The Perpetual Self, Or What Would Saul Alinsky Do? - Sufjan Stevens
The Heartbreak Moment - Her Space Holiday
Singer Songwriter - Okkervil River
To Be Young - Ryan Adams
Come Together - the Beatles
This Side - Nickel Creek
The Fix is In - OK Go
We Will Become Silhouettes (Postal Service cover) - the Shins
The Crane Wife 3 - The Decemberists
More Adventurous (live @ Fingerprints) - Rilo Kiley

Unfortunately you won't be able to download the individual songs anymore because they just end up getting taking down anyways 'cause of copyright stuff. I promise the mix(es) are worth listening to. Hope you like this one! Let me know :)
