In which I present my Christmas playlist...

So after 24 days of interesting or alternative Christmas song I present my Christmas playlist that I usually listen to:

In which the AVByte brother bring us a Christmas musical...

Christmas - I did it before I was cool!

In which we have a Finnish version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer...

I was watching Lapland on BBC and had to find this after hearing it:

In which Fat Les brings his anarchic style to Christmas...

Frankly I'm surprised I wasn't aware of this!

In which Shrek gives us a new take on the 12 days of Christmas...

In which Eric Idle takes issue with Christmas...

Apparently Eric Idle hates Christmas - WARNING! Explicit lyrics!

In which an old school friend releases a charity single...

A friend from school (all the way back in Reception I believe but definitely through Pre-Prep, Prep and Senior school) has released a Christmas song! It's raising money for the children's charity Futures For Kids and I think it's pretty good too :)

In which TMBG bring us a Christmas tale...

They Might Be Giants leave us with good advice about not letting someone dress as Santa and then steal your wife.

In which an aptly named band give us a sobering thought at Christmas...

This song by the Decemberists speaks for itself I feel:

A remixed, a capella version of one of my favourite Christmas songs...

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is one of my favourite Christmas carols. The King's Singers (formed at Cambridge and running for 44 years now*) are an a capella band who perform truly awesome versions of a whole range of music†, enjoy:

In which the Amateur Transplants tackle Christmas...

If you're not aware of the Amateur Transplants they are two doctors who write rude, amusing songs. Warning - Explicit lyrics!

In which Tim Minchin brings us an Australian take on the festive season...

What more can I say, he's Tim Minchin. You should know what to expect!

In which my favourite German techno-band Die Wurzels* bring in Christmas...

A West Country take on Christmas:

In which Bill Nighy wishes us a ridiculous Christmas...

From Love Actually and completely ridiculous! Need I say more:

In which Christmas takes a morbid turn...

My good friend Wade sent me this. Since it is definitely an alternative take on the Christmas message here you go:

In which the Doctor's greatest enemy enjoys Christmas...

This is probably one of the weirdest TV show tie-ins ever:

In which I apologise for missing a day...

Sorry for not posting yesterday :S Yesterday was pretty hectic what with carol singing and The Snowball so without further ado a bumper version of my advent calendar!

In which Jonathan Coulton brings us a futuristic Christmas...

Jonathan Coulton (or JoCo) has a look at Christmas with evil robot overlords (did I say overlords? I meant protectors!):

In which I get with the times...

Now for a new Christmas song which is hoping to get to Number 1 this year. This is a completely a capella piece by The Other Guys who formed at St. Andrew's University. And it's pretty awesome:

In which Santa goes crazy...

Here's a song the elfs really wouldn't like to happen:
