i can't wait to pull out my JACKSON 5 CHRISTMAS cassette and start decorating shit!


when are u gonna pull out christmas music?







givvvve lovvvvve on chrrrrriiiiissstmas dehhhhh

No not yet probably Thanksgiving are after,....
J5's, the Temp's, Donny, Emotions, Eratha Kitt, James Brown,Brook Benton, Charles Brown and so on.

I don't know if they have, but I sure am playin' some!

One of my jobs is in a department store. They started playing Christmas music over the PA system the day after Halloween.

the station in atlanta 94 lite Fm has been giving christmas previews throughout the weekend since last weekend. The radio host Delia has been playing x-mas music on her radio show. 9:00-1:00 P.M. on the weekdays.

Actually, I've seen some Christmas commercials, including that dreadful Destiny's Child Wal-Mart commercial.

The digital cable radio station has its "Sounds of the Seasons" tuned to Christmas music.

As I see it, it's the best, most festive time of the year. We're closing in on mid-November, and Thanksgiving is what, less than 2 weeks away? What the heck!

Dunno but I already broke out this compilation:



I learned about this compilation last year by recommendation of orger sextonseven.

did the Psychedelic furs or a band that sound like them ever make a christmas song?

Actually, the song is a few minutes long, and does have a bangin' beat behind McCartney's song (why some company hasn't used that in a Christmas commercial I have no idea).

But the following track, "Simply Havin'" is only 40 seconds long and actually samples (and mimics the first verse from) the cut "Footprints" from ATCQ's debut album,

And I love both of those tracks, from AOI: Bionix

In a word..yes.

They even have a radio station devoted to playing all holiday themed songs.

My Mom likes it so I'm glad it makes her happy.

It is kind of cute..and if you don't like it you can change to a regular station.

Oh no, I created my own intro out of "Simply" by extending/editing their chopped version of McCartney's track, and it turned out to be 40 seconds.

I love that "Footprints" outro too..

man.. good call

yeah...those light rock stations were playing it like a week before Halloween Some houses even had up decoration....in October. This one house went all out with the decoration. I'm like it's not even Halloween and you got all that plastic santa shit up in the yard already. And then you have those people who keep their lights up all year long

it gets earlier every year, will it one day be Christmas year round?
