“It’s the Grinch! Scatter!” – Tony the Elf
HO HO HO, MERRY MUSIC MONDAY IS BACK!
I’ll be carrying on the tradition that we established two years ago: five Christmas songs every Monday for the next month. It’ll be the best ever, just as it was during the last two rounds (catch up here). Lezgo!
1. Stream: King’s Kaleidoscope “Come Thou Long Expected Jesus”
Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
…from Joy Has Dawned EP (iTunes | Spotify). King’s Kaleidoscope is the worship band for Mars Hill Church and has made some of my favorite versions of classic hymns. It’s no surprise they’ve now done the same with classic Christmas songs as well.
2. Stream: Nick Lowe – “Children Go Where I Send Thee”
Children Go Where I Send Thee
…from Quality Street: A Seasonal Selection for All The Family (iTunes | Spotify).
3. Stream: The Last Bison – “Carol of the Bells”
Carol of the Bells
…from Sleigh Ride – EP (iTunes | Spotify). We shared some songs and an interview with this Virginia based band when they were just known as Bison. I was so excited when they released a Christmas EP. This track is the highlight for me – banjo, mallets, violin – perfect.
4. Stream: Justin Bieber – “All I Want is You”
All I Want Is You
…from Under the Mistetoe (iTunes | Spotify). I just needed to make sure everyone remembered that Biebz has a Christmas album. Looking back the days we threw them snow balls…
5. Stream: The Raveonettes – “The Christmas Song”
The Christmas Song
…just a great single (iTunes | Spotify). This has been one of the first songs I listen to every season and has been one of my favorite Christmas songs since high school.
