I enjoy Stereogum 's mixes better than most of the other indie-oriented blogs on the web. Their latest mix collects some of the newest and best indie Christmas songs that were released this year (many were featured in our Christmas Selections throughout the month). Check out the tracklist and download the mix as a zip file after the jump. Read more » http://rpc.blogcatalog.com/ http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ ping
Don't you love Christmas music? I'm Jewish so mostly it makes me feel like I'm in a mall. But don't you love malls? I've been trying to get my daughter to listen to The Nutcracker , and that's been pretty easy because she's only three and doesn't have a choice. But if Tchaikovsky's not your speed there are always new XMas jams from indie rockers to keep you in the holiday spirit. Once again we've collected this year's additions to the canon since it should only be a Sufjan Christmas so many years in a row. (And once again [...]

Hear The Kills cover the Christmas classic.
MP3: The Kills - Silent Night The Kills are showing their Christmas spirit with an acoustic rendition of "Silent Night", recorded live with Lauren Laverne on BBC 6 Music. A chord-less guitar progression guides the minimal arrangement as Alison "VV" Mosshart unleashes her solemnly creaky voice. She sounds several years older here than on their

O The Kills resolveu assumir o espírito natalino e apresentar para a BBC Radio 6 um cover de Silent Night , também conhecida em território brasileiro como Noite Feliz , aos moldes dos momentos mais quietos do grupo, como a balada The Last Goodbye . Acompanhada apenas pelo violão de Jamie Hince , a voz de Alison Mosshart ganha destaque, [...]

Even though the new album from The Kills didn't make our top five albums of 2011 list (it's still a great album though), we cannot, in good conscience, ignore a timeless Christmas carol sung by the sultry Alison Mosshart. Down below, thanks to a find from Some Kind Of Awesome , is a cover of "Silent Night" done by The Kills. It was performed on BBC 6 Music and....well let's play a game. See if you can spot the new lyrics sung by Mosshart during her rendition of the classic [...]
The Kills: "Silent Night" "The moon makes me want to eat you alive," sings Alison Mosshart in the Kills' rewrite of this old Christmas tune. Hear their haunting acoustic take on "Silent Night," which arrived today as the final installment of BBC 6's MPFree Festive Giveaway , above.
"Silent Night" is one of the holiday season's most somber and emotionally stirring carols. In the hands of The Kills , who recorded their rendition during a recent special session for BBC 6 Music , the song becomes something else entirely. It's decidedly just as lonesome sounding, but there's an especially creepy air to this version, thanks in part to Alison Mosshart's stripped-down vocal performance and a few key lyrical changes (it may be almost Xmas, but she'll still eat your face, apparently). Get in the slightly disturbed holiday spirit by taking a listen below (via Some [...]
