In the late 1970s, Johnny Cash hosted a Christmas Special each year, and pitchfork has decided to host a couple of their favorite moments the show. I really enjoyed them and I am sure you will too. Here is a great version of Silent Night, performed by Johnny and his wife June Carter. Here is the great gospel tune "This Train is Bound for Glory" performed by Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins. The late, great Andy Kauffman showing off his expertise by doing Elvis Presley's [...]
Today you get eight versions of painter-turned-music-legend Joni Mitchell's ( fansite wiki AMG ) 1971 " River ." She first started singing by belting out Christmas carols in a children's hospital. By 1971 she was in California, missing the winters of Canada and writing a "selfish and sad" paean to the end of a relationship. I don't have a lot to say about this song, except that I had planned at one point to include every single one of these versions on this year's compilation, Have Yourself A Depressing Little Christmas. (Watch this [...]
Here is a HQ version of Sarah McLachlan's song Possession as remixed by Rabbit In The Moon! This mix although from 1996 still sounds up to date and current now 12 years later! Possession (Rabbit In The Moon Mix) [...]
Joni Mitchell's "River" has become, in many ways, a Christmas standard. To be honest, I've never quite understood this because the song is really quite depressing… and who wants to be depressed during the Christmas season? I guess the fact that the song opens with "Jingle Bells" makes the connection to Christmas that [...]
Here's the second of 2006's two Christmas mixes I compiled. The mixes from '06 and '07 (stay tuned!) don't have covers uploaded, since I made all the covers by hand with paper cutouts and stickers and such. I'll probably put together covers for this year's two mixes, though I'm planning to continue with the handmade covers for the hardcopies my friends get. Now, for about as long as they've existed, I've been a fairly faithful reader of two music blogs: You Ain't No Picasso and WFMU's Beware Of The Blog . But until December '06, [...]

Here's one of the two CD mixes I put together in 2006 for all my friends. (Come back Sunday for the second one, Have Yourself A Mellow Little Christmas, and I'll also explain how Christmas music was my introduction to MP3 blogs.) Two years ago, I was celebrating having a computer and regular net access for the first time in literally years. Also, for the first time in ages, due to changes in my job, I was really digging on Christmas music, and the spirit of peace and love I hadn't gotten much of for years. This is a nice [...]

I've been busy planning a party for the past week or so and need a break from all the upbeat music so today's Five For Friday is going to slow it down. For those not familiar with Madeleine Peyroux she is my favorite romantic dinner or chill out music. Also don't forget to enter the MaryKate O'Neil contest , I'll be drawing a winner in a few days. Also, like everyone else out there, I've had a post deleted, not even sure why. I made a deal with myself that if 5 posts get killed [...]

The hottest singer to ever come out of Nova Scotia, Canada, Sarah McLachlan has long been a balladeer representing strong-willed female musicians. After all, she did start the '90s pop culture event, Lilith Fair. Women and sensitive guys who wanted to have sex with Jewel flooded the tour all over North America, but many walked away with a certain memory of this brief, female-dominated time in music. The memory was that Sarah McLachlan is a pretty damn good musician and a hell of a singer. This compilation is the ultimate Sarah McLachlan collection and why wouldn't it [...]
