Holiday TV listings; 2007 rollout of Christmas mp3s begins at music blogs
Now that the turkey has gone off to the soup, music blogs are posting the holiday tunes they've been collection all year.
Santas Working Overtime is trying to keep track of who has what and what's where, as well as putting out the Holiday TV Listings master list from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Blues-rock/boogie band Canned Heat has a new Christmas Album that sounds good at Barnes & Noble, where you can listen to clips. News of this comes from What's New In 2007? at Randy's Rodeo, where the Christmas jukebox holds more than 300 songs.
A Big Rock Candy Cane Xmas is a 114-meg mp3 at Big Rock Candy Mountain. Its 27 tunes range from The Wailers, The Sonics, Rufus Thomes, Isaac Hayes, Merle Haggard and The Everly Brothers.
Much of what's up at Ernie (Not Bert) is firmly in the '40s and '50s -- Arthur Godrey, The Ray Charles Singers, The Maguire Sisters... Don't miss last year's links list as well. Loretta Young and Gregory Peck both tell Christmas stories on one, and the St. Patrick's Cathedral choir is in there, too.
BongoBells is just getting started, but don't miss the bongobells2 archives of out-of-print shares from previous years.
Antsy McClain & The Trailer Park Troubadours - Merry Christmas From The Trailer Park is leading at FaLaLaLaLa but it mines some of the same musical veins as Ernie.
One more, just barely back for 2007: Musical Fruitcake " a collection of the worst Christmas music ever created."
There'll be more as the season builds. (Actually, there was more here a few minutes ago, but Firefox crashed trying to play the Canned Heat clips with 43 tabs open. My penance was to write it all again. By now I should know to save often when sparks are flying off the wheels on curves...)
