'Tis The Season.

I don't have Internet at the moment, leading to the inactivity around here. But, at least the missing Christmas spirit has come over me! I even put up some Christmas decorations at my place (drunkenly grabbed from a nearby public Christmas tree one night, but whatever).

Visuals and audio that finally brought this about:









Belle and Sebastian - Santa Claus, Go Straight To The Ghetto
The Kinks - Father Christmas
The Raveonettes - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Ryan Adams - Hey Parker, It's Christmas
The Wombats - Is This Christmas?

I furthermore recommend The Raveonettes - Wishing You A Rave Christmas EP and Belle and Sebastian - Peel Christmas Party.

Last Christmas.

I have zero Christmas spirit this year. With all the exams papers due, the studying for finals, and the very sad, rainy weather, well.... I'm just not in the mood.

I haven't even been listening to Christmas music, which is something I usually enjoy during December. The only one's I've been listening to are the ones I listen to all year round - the three The Killers Christmas singles. Even Joseph has sort of grown on me, but I still don't love it as much as the two earlier ones.

But I digress. I wanted to share the only other Christmas song I've listened to this December. The original is a classic but very easy to grow tired of. This version is just perfect.
