Everything But The Girl - Missing

Man, if I ever want to feel like I just turned into a widower, I'll just plug this album.

Explosions in the Sky - Inside It All Feels The Same

Still in my top 3 bands/artists of all time.

Interpol - Pace Is The Trick

EDIT: Yume Bitsu - I Wait For You

I notice lately I've really been liking relaxing, ambient tunes.

Pure instrumental, but really great at it. Catchy~

Florence + The Machine - Kiss With a Fist.

Florence + The Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up).

Snow, this is another one for us. You should get it.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1709 on:** December 21, 2009, 07:55:30 AM »

The name certainly looks intriguing enough. Will look at that after work today.

The Chasm - Callous Spectre/Vehement Opposition

Pretty neat stuff. S'like good death metal.

The Cure - At Night

Grefter · « **Reply #1712 on:** December 22, 2009, 08:05:43 AM »

The Fiery Furnaces - The Garfield El.

I am kind of undeceided on these guys. It is nice, but I don't know if it is good.

Dragonforce String Tribute - Revolution Deathsquad.

...not bad. Works well for what it is, which is something to make you go "Holy shit, Dragonforce played by an orchestra!"

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas

Christmas season and no one listens to Christmas songs? Really?

VySaika · « **Reply #1717 on:** December 22, 2009, 06:54:17 PM »

That's because we're pelted with them every time we walk into any store ever. I'm so damned sick of christmas music by the time Christmas actually hits that I would never listen to it of my own volition.

Bardiche · « **Reply #1718 on:** December 22, 2009, 07:08:50 PM »

The only music I ever hear in the shops I frequent is the sound of grumpy old ladies arguing and bickering over the shriveled up tomatoes. Would that they played a Christmas song f'ronce that I'd visit them a lot more than just twice a week to get the necessary groc'ries.

'course, you get these radio stations that play the same damn song thrice an hour, 'n I'm not a fan of those either.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #1719 on:** December 22, 2009, 07:20:56 PM »

There's also the problem that most Christmas-related songs tend to forget to not suck while reminding people that it's Christmas time, and I'm, for one, not going to listen to music that grates my ear into a bleeding wall just because of a season.

R.E.M. - Gardening At Night (Acoustic)

ThePiggyman · « **Reply #1720 on:** December 22, 2009, 07:44:55 PM »

Well, since it was mentioned...

The Pretenders - Blue Christmas

Fun tune.

Yyyyep. I don't think there is such a thing as good Christmas music that isn't recorded by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Well, no, my parents have this old Muppets Christmas album, which is awesome by definition since it's the Muppets. But this is an exception which also benefits massively from nostalgia value.

It also hurts that Christmas Music tends to be shit. Drummer Boy is the worst song ever written.

You know what is better? When the same kind of thing is played better on Cellos and features original songs. This is why you should be rocking the fuck out to Apocalyptica (which was originally a Metallica cover band, but doesn't matter so much these days unless you dislike Trapped Under Ice or something else is similar good fun).

Kate Miller-Heidke - Words.

Gref, you're not secretly my uncle are you? You two need to get together sometime so you can be curmudgeonly about music together. I don't know that your taste in music is similar at all, but I'm quite certain your disdain for music is perfectly matched.

I love Christmas music myself. This is partly because I try very hard to avoid stores that play that syrupy shit they seem to think will get people in a buying mood. Mostly, though, it's because Christmas music to me means the music you sing with your friends and relatives. Simplicity is key. O Little Town of Bethlahem, Silent Night, Good King Winceslas, The Holly and the Ivy, The Wassail Song, Joy to the World, Lo how a Rose e'er Blooming, Wassail Wassail, O Holy Night...these are wonderful songs as long as you don't schmaltz them up (except for O Holy Night, which you pretty much need to).
