Another batch of holiday tunes, with moods ranging from cheery to eerie. It's all electric fantastic! Norwegian duo Röyksopp has made an amazing electronic edit of "Le Cantique de Noel", which you can download here. I've decided that the idea of a full-on festive album from them can be quite exciting. NYC electropop duo The [...]
Some of you asked what happened to the S-25 Mix for this past Sunday. Sorry, folks, we've been so busy with the holidays that we had to skip the S-25 for this past week.

It's only a week until Christmas!! This years mix almost didn't happen because I thought I wouldn't have time to dig up good tracks but then they just started popping up and a lot of them were very cool. I grabbed the best and threw them together here for a holiday mix in three parts. First get funky with the dance party starters then slip into some original X-mas tunes by artists old and new and close it off with some reworked classics. I hope you all enjoy these jams and have yourselves a kick ass holiday season! [...]

Welcome to the Annual Vague Space Indie/Alternative Christmas Music Spectacular (TM). I was able to set aside my great urge to say "bah humbug" to this whole season this year and to get into the mood long enough for this post, so hopefully this will get you in the spirit if you are like me and saw Christmas lights glowing in your neighborhood the day after Thanksgiving and said "Are you fucking kidding me? Already?" Anyway, merry happy or something. Enjoy. Download Bishop Allen - "You'll Never Find My [...]
Thanks to Target's Christmas Gig . So very Christmas-y, yet these artists have their signature style all over the songs.

Since Guuzbourg started an 'Alt Christmas' topic below, why not add a snotty shoegazer song (Best Coast ft. Wavves), a course in crooning anno 2010 (Little Isodore), some nerdy fun (Bishop Allen) and a melancholic slide guitar that makes The Perfect Gift (Natalie Hemby). And did I already mention Guster, Blackalicious, Darker My Love, Jenny O., Crystal Antlers, Little Jackie, Blazer Force, Coconut Records, The Pinker Tones and Ceci Bastida? They all reside at the best FREE xmas compilation of this year so far. Bishop Allen - You'll Never Find My Christmas [...]
