There are some (IMHO) great tracks on here. It's kinda a mixture of classic songs & carols RUINED by modern rock artists, and weird takes on other festive tunes by unknown bands... So it might not be to everyone's taste, but I didn't want to make a mix of the regular cheese (as much as I enjoy it...) as people will have had enough of that pumping through the speakers of major department stores by December 24th...
I will also say that I purposefully limited myself to 15 tracks, not only as I hope to keep this up as an annual tradition of mixtape making (if people enjoy it), but also as I personally play the same four or five Christmas records on solid rotation every year, the likes of BNL, Relient K, Sufjan Stevens etc... So if you don't like this track listing, only 365+ days til Christmas! (2009)...
Finally, allow me to wish you a very happy and relaxing Christmas and a new year full of challenges, humour and excitement!!
Rock & Roll - God bless - P xo
