Bleh.

I need that b-boy poppin' NE music.

Well, I think it's too early to LISTEN to Christmas music NOW, but I DO think that it's okay to look forward to LISTENING to it on or after Thanksgiving.

for the last few years, I've been getting into the traditional Christmas music. No, not Perry Como. But Gregorian and medieval Advent songs and chants. They can enhance the spirituality of the season.

But a few of my essentials include:

and a nice (uber) contemporary set

Well remember it is CHRISTMAS music so not a lot of b-boy poppin' going on...
But it's NOT doo-wop if that's what you didn't like about Under the Blue Moon.

I just picked up this new Christmas album:



Haven't listened to it yet, but hopefully it will be a winner. I honestly don't see where she could go wrong.

Thanx 4 quoting me in your signature. U could give me the credit.
I'm like Prince, I'll SUE U!

Well aparently for Wal-Mart, yeah it is I kid you not, THE DAY AFTER Halloween, I went in there and they had Christmas music playing all thrughout the store! Just went there again the other day and now they got all the Christmas decorations up too I'm not all that surprised but still...couldnt they have at least waited a couple more weeks before all that?

That's usually standard protocal. They begin putting Christmas items on the shelf Oct. 1. Then, by Nov. 1, you get the music.

daPrettyman said:

Yep thats how alot of the stores do it, I just wish they wouldnt put it out right after Halloween Back in the day, when my mom was a child she says they didnt do that stuff until after Thanksgiving, times have really changed.

daPrettyman said:

Done!
Wasn't sure if you wanted me to or not.

U know that I don't care.

ANYTHING xmas by Harry!

missfee said:

Okay I listened to this yesterday morning and it is definitely a MUST BUY!!!! It's a very jazzy, bluesy, version of Christmas....not one slow song in the bunch from what I can remember and I love that. Usually the traditionally slow Christmas songs (Silent Night, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas) make me sad and think about my loved ones who are no longer here, but her version blows the socks off the traditional versions!!!

Trust me, you must get this as soon as you can, it's one of the best Christmas albums i've heard in a long time!!!!

i've been listening to my Sufjan Stevens christmas boxed set for days now, lol.

daPrettyman said:

Mine too

SoulAlive said:

Their version of "this christmas" is so soulful

missfee said:

One song I have really liked recently is that "All I Want For Christmas is You."

I also like.. that one sung by Eartha Kitt, "Santa Baby."

I also like "Un flambeau, Jeanette, Isabella.."

Mariah's?

Though Mariah's Christmas album is very pop, it is a very good Christmas album. No wonder it sells shit-loads every year.

daPrettyman said:

Okay. Guilty pleasure here. I love Mariah's Christmas Album...

dannyd5050 said:

"All I Want For Christmas" is sooooo catchy. The remix is nice too.

(sigh) it's never a good time for the holiday season

When did he get dropped from Warner Brothers? I saw that this Christmas album is on Koch.

It happened sometime this year although I don't know specifics. I was surprised myself. He's being quite sucessful as a radiohost. This is a solid Christmas Album.
