Looks like I'll be drinking Christmas dinner alone again this year. These songs are for the those of us who think that Christmas is the saddest, loneliest, most depressing time of year. This mix will make you cry. Consider yourself warned. Zippo! 1. Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas.mp3 Buy : It's Christmas Time (2000, orig. 1957) Gotta start off with a classic. 2. [...]
Kevin over at indiecater and mp3hugger is fast becoming the most influential blogger for Irish music. The Indiecater Record label has already released three compilations, a special Christmas compilation and most importantly has re-released five forgotten indie jems from the vaults of history. These are .....
