Notes
Just in time to spread the yuletide cheer; an immaculate Christmas reshare from RYM’s discerning Moahaha, friend of flawless tastes. In a genre that tends heavily toward mediocre schmaltz, XMAS DELIGHTS is packed with more than a few of my very favorite things. Yes, Virginia, there is a brilliant Santa comp.
“Well, I for one have never came across a listenable one that wasn’t made by myself. As everyone else genuinely interested in music I generally despise this “genre”, but every year I make some sort of Christmas-comp. And for a short period in December I really love spinning the 3-4 hour worth of standout songs I’ve discovered throughout the years. So I figured I might as well collect and share about 2×45 minute long set for the holidays at my favorite place in blogland too. First half (Santa) is primarely lighthearted secular joy for your Christmas parties or whatever. And the second half (Jesus) a little more contemplative filled with seasonal folksongs, sentimental oldies and heartfelt religious tunes. I know it won’t be your favorite album ever, but I’m only aiming for it to become you favorite Christmas compilation. So with this Moahaha wishes you all a Merry Christmas!”
