Holiday mixed tape.

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.
