Ho ho ho, assholes! With the Christmas holiday coming up this weekend and we're already two days deep up on the Hanukkah tip, it's very much time to drop the annual The Decibel Tolls Holiday Mixer . You know the deal - a carefully curated collection of skewed, brain-burning, monolithic Christmas gems that totally sleigh. Get it?! Sleigh? Slay? It's a homophone, you guys! Ugh... never mind. Tough crowd. Anyway, these yule-time canticles exalted on high can crush shopping malls and magically spike egg nog, true story. For this year's mixer, you'll recognize you'll recognize some jams from previous year's mixers, [...]

Today is a bittersweet story as it is with both sadness and joy that I present to you the 2011 conclusion to Ryan Radlers wonderful mixtape series, anti-winter 3 c. Week after week Ryan has given summer luxurious and comprehensive soundtrack setting a unique vibe for all our estival activities - Dear anti-winter, we'll miss you. When I use to perform classical music under the tutelage of the the late great Dr. Walter Turnbull we learned that clapping in between movements or grand pauses is inappropriate. That always fascinated me because Dr. T was an incredible teacher and got us sing classics like [...]
Nicci sang a song in her friend's one-man show tonight. I couldn't make it in time to see her, but I did make it to Aroma Coffee & Tea for a delicious crispy chicken wrap! Then we went to her friend's house for some beers and snacks and conversation. Then we came home and watch what is now officially the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life. It's called Hanger . It's about a foetus that gets aborted via coat hanger (yes, they show the coat hanger inserted into the vagina and the baby being pulled out) [...]

Hoy se conmemora la batalla de Puebla y yo solo voy a subir canciones representativas de la cultura mexicana, en un intento de reflejar su esencia en unas cuantas canciones, sin importar el género por qué hablar de las batallas históricas, revolucionarías y de independencia o sea la que se, no es de mi agrado y mucho menos motivo para celebrar…Ya que en la época tan hedonista en la que vivimos resultan completamente fallidas las principales razones por las cuales se inician las batallas más bien, el motivo muere al conseguirlo ya que los líderes como cualquier ser humano frágil [...]

It's a tradition in the Bloggins home to celebrate DMXmas (wherein we enjoy our favorite introspective canticles from DMX over some hard cider or nog) in tandem with the more traditional interpretation of this most magical holiday. I've curated two fine mixers to mark both distinct occasions. From our family to yours, we wish you nothing but the best yuletime tidings. Merry fucking Christmas, dorks. Hope none of you all find the xx album in your stocking. That would be barftastic. DMXmas Mixer MP3 ::: [...]

This is currently the go-to soundtrack to our efforts to get our baby girl to go to sleep and stay asleep. A sad by-product is the fact that we are starting to get sick of a lot of these songs, some of which have been favorites forever and ever (we first got The Glove record around 1989 or 1990, for example). That said, we still find almost all of these to this day to be very moving in their way whenever we stop and sit and listen to them go by on the IPod docked in the nursery. [...]

Hace unas horas recordaba al Ecoloco, mi personaje favorito de Odisea Burbujas . La canción y el video de "El Ecoloco" me siguen divirtiendo mucho y con el pretexto de Esquivel y su excelente música, hago este post. Claro que cuando veía Burbujas no sabía quién era Juan García Esquivel , ni la importancia que sus meticulosas composiciones habían tenido décadas antes en México y el mundo. Activo desde mediados de los 50, Esquivel lanzó varios discos [...]
With Merriweather Post Pavilion , all of a sudden, the ferment and experimentation that has typified indie rock in the last few years has its historical marker: an eclectic masterpiece that gathers its myriad influences together and pushes them all in a new direction.

X-mas is one week away. I guess that rules. Wal-Mart employees getting pancaked for some plasma TVs, the industrial-sized carbon footprint of the copious holiday-induced traffic, a general feeling of malaise, and not to mention the cliched but nonetheless important observations of the Santa Calus' pervasive creepiness. Christmas is weird, and I don't know if I like it. So instead, I celebrate DMX-mas, which adopts traditions such as enjoying "'X Gon' Give It to Ya," watching some of his excellent films, and drankin' malt liquor. But since most of you don't celebrate DMX-mas like Lana and [...]

Esquivel: White Christmas [ purchase ] Many folks think of Esquivel as epitomized by a lush form of lounge music. But this something different: a holiday tune on a cocaine binge, tapped out on the edge of a martini glass. Mad bells and tinkly triangle and a never-ending choral crescendo into a world of scat and staccato, creating a manic sort of cheerfulness edged with something desperate. It is, perhaps, the least soothing version of this song ever recorded. The bells just make [...]

Okay, I know I wasn't exactly a model guest at your holiday party last year . I'm sorry about drinking up all your egg-nog, making borderline inappropriate comments about your teenage daughter, taking over your stereo, and throwing up on your sectional. If you invite me back this year, I promise not to do any of those things again. Except the taking over the stereo part. I'm definitely going to do that again. As a peace offering I've made a few of the tracks I might play at your party available for download in advance. [...]

Esquivel: Mini Skirt [ purchase ] Not our usual fare, I'll admit. And there's always a risk that the "space age bachelor pad music" which arranger, composer, and bandleader Juan Garcia Esquivel defined in the fifties and sixties will come across as something not far from elevator music in the modern ear. But there's a surprisingly complex texture in the better works of the artist generally known simply as Esquivel. And what better tune for a midweek stretch than this [...]

This week saw the passing of the great Earle Hagen . His name may not be a household word, but his music is burned into your brain. He was a TV theme writer extraordinaire, whose credits include catchy ditties for The Andy Griffith Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, That Girl, and The Mod Squad to name a few. A bunch of his themes are available at AM Then FM's Hagen tribute post. Hagen is also the composer behind "Harlem Nocturne", probably one of the most covered saxaphone songs in history (500 [...]

Some people like to get their holiday shopping done early. I decided to get my holiday blogging done early. So this year I'm posting a bunch of holiday songs all at once--call it a compilation if you like, or think of it as me stopping by to D.J. your Christmas party without having to deal with me drinking up all your eggnog, insulting your guests and throwing up on your sectional. Individual tracks are available for download by right clicking on the links, or you can just download a zip file of the whole thing. 1. [...]
