It's been a hectic season, broken up by shock and awe and rumors of an apocalypse that never came. But the last day of school has finally passed, and now, suddenly, it's Christmas in earnest: time for the tree, and the warmth of family and friends; for church carols and pageantry; for hot cocoa by the fire, the kitten in our lap and the old dog at our feet, and the laughter of children. And we are grateful, and glad, in our bittersweet joy. Previously this year, we came to you with [...]
Dear Lord, I'm not only in love with this EP... I'm in love with this band. Drop whatever you're doing right now and go listen to "The Songs The Season Brings, Vol. 23 by Beta Radio right now. Get a free sample over at Noise Trade HERE I especially love the track "Winter Eclipse"
It finally snowed full-force in Colorado this weekend, enough to divert me off the highway in a flurry of white, and to a roadside La Quinta on Saturday night coming home from the Patty Griffin concert. The temps hovered consistently at a lush 19º Sunday, and is currently at 7º. All is calm and bright because no one wants to move outside their electric blankets, so it's been a good weekend for me to road-test these songs. I am very pleased to report that this is my favorite December mix I've yet made. When it [...]
A spot of computer troubles have temporarily postponed what was intended to be a comprehensive survey of this year's newly released single-artist Holiday albums. But on this day in 1933, the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was passed and ratified, ending national Prohibition, and paving the way for a return to the Christmas tradition of drinking with good company. And so a hastily-constructed thematic feature is born. Join us, as we lift a glass to the season and the day with a decidedly mixed-bar set of songs celebrating holiday drinking. [...]
It's not a new year's song, per se, though traditionally sung at midnight here and abroad. Rather, its message of friendship everlasting after a life well- and long-lived finds voice in, and brings hope and closure to, a multitude of celebrations throughout the English-speaking world, predominantly funerals and other ceremonies of remembrance. I posted a set of covers of Auld Lang Syne back in the waning days of 2009, too. But the Robert Burns poem and its various melodies seem particularly apt this year. For we heard its [...]

I had originally planned this post for Christmas day, but if you're anything like me, you've been listening to Christmas music since Thanksgiving. The holidays aren't complete with out some holiday tunes and hopefully you'll find some new favorites in today's GOOD. So in the immortal words of Billy Mack, "So if you really love Christmas, C'mon and let it snow." [p.s. i'm not 100% certain that all of these tracks came out this year, apologies in advance] ♪ Catwalk -- Christmas Don't Be Late (Alvin and the Chipmunks cover) [...]

Pine trees and icicles and carolers - check. But can we please just talk for a moment about how it was -2 degrees the other night in Colorado? TWO BELOW, with howling winds. I like the beer , but man alive that makes for some cold sleeping. All the golden loveliness of autumn is gone, and in its place we have this icy, silent cocoon all around us, luminescent and silvery-blue. Perhaps I just have to survive these next two weeks of school, and maybe go on a little cookie-baking binge, and [...]
Hey There, Well...I didn't think I'd be doing this again this year but someone actually requested it. We'll see what new Christmas music turns up in the next month and post it all here. Cheers, Craig Here's the first new stuff I'd like to share. Beta Radio are a Wilmington, NC based duo who excel at vocal harmonies and kind of eclectic americana instrumentation. Here's their song "The Song The Season Brings" The Song The Season Brings Also Inara George and [...]
Let's round out the weekend with some awesomeness from Bandcamp . I don't mind doing the leg work for you, really. Dig on it below... {From Seven Sisters } {From Sleepy Feet Demo } {From When In Nature } {From Emma & Charlie's Wikipedia Daily Challenge } {From Hearts of Oak EP }
As a native Floridian for the first 31 years of my life, I never experienced Autumn. Yeah, it gets chilly down there in the winter and things die and stuff, but really winter is seen as more of just a break from the heat and humidity that permeates the state the other 10 months of the year. My point being... Weather-wise... I do not miss Florida in the slightest. Moving to Ohio over 6 1/2 years ago I discovered seasons. Genuine seasons. Bits of similar weather that last for about 3 months [...]

Ben Mabry and Brent Holloman (the duo behind Beta Radio) have offered up an album that is instantly familiar and undeniably catchy. Musically reminiscent at times of Bon Iver’s atmosphere heavy For Emma, Forever Ago or the Grateful [...]
