Musical Family Tree

The Indiana Music Archive and Online Community

I’m working on an article/mix for a local magazine I freelance for. I generally can’t get into Christmas music, but a few of my favorites:

Low – Little Drummer Boy
Juliana Hatfield – Make It Home
Bright Eyes – Blue Christmas
Jimmy Eat World - Christmas Card
Local H – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Radiohead - Winter Wonderland
Liz Phair – Winter Wonderland
Sufjan Stevens – Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!
Dance Hall Crashers – I Did It For The Toys
Ryan Adams - Hey Parker, It's Christmas
Rilo Kiley - Xmas Cake

Add to my list?

I really don’t care how silly, unhip, or embarrassing they may be.

I took a closer look at the box for the Gizmos tape. Apparently from a Public Library simulcast, with MX-80 and Loner. I must have most of it on a cassette, the reel is marked as overflow, studio break music and a bridge between the sides of the cas…

a random Gizmos thing, huh? I would very very much like to hear it! Hey, weren't you involved in the 'gagage band' video shoot right before they split town? I capped it and made a DVD if you want one. March of 79 would indeed have been during my fi…

I had to go look on the tapes to check that. Luckily I'm at least organized enough to be able to find them easily, having all my tapes in the same corner of the basement. That was March 1979. I also found a few tapes from the last day that the stud…

You know who you are, come out and be counted! Did you spend countless nights at Second Story? Did you eat at Rockits? Can you barely remember the 1990s?
