Christmas isn't over until the 6th day of January, so here is yet another festive track. Enjoy!]]> text/html 2012-12-26T01:24:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4689590/cyril-pahinui-mele-kalikimaka/


Mele Christmas! Merry Christmas! The family and I are still in Hawaii, as I mentioned yesterday, so what better way to say "Merry Christmas" than the "Hawaiian way," as the song says. "Mele Kalikimaka" may not be a traditional Hawaiian song, having actually been written by Robert Alex Anderson in 1949 - and first recorded by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters in 1950 - but it has certainly been adopted by many a Hawaiian. (Interesting side note, at least for me: Anderson graduated from Cornell University, my alma mater.) Among those who have made [...]]]> text/html 2012-12-25T14:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4689366/christmas-past-10-christmas-songs-that-are-really-about-drugs/

Get into the spirit with these holiday songs from Toronto bands My personal favourite holiday listening is Hanson's Snowed In . I've been listening to it every Christmas since 1997 — so that is disturbing (let's attribute it to egg nog, ok?). Below you'll find 10 Christmas songs by Toronto artists/bands — guaranteed to be just as infectious as Hanson and a lot less horrible. Happy holidays to all!

More of a "Repo Man Christmas," if you ask me... Here we are, Christmas Eve. A step away from the culmination of the big holiday season, and I didn't really have a chance to get as many Xmas songs up as I'd hoped - partly because we've been spending the week in Hawaii, visiting for the holiday with my in-laws, and we've been pretty busy. I know, I can hear your sounds of sympathy even now... It's beautiful in Hawaii, of course, and as an alternative to Northwest rain and [...]]]> text/html 2012-12-24T23:21:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4692545/playlist-woah-christmas-is-tomorrow/


With Christmas approaching tomorrow, we knew we had to celebrate somehow! And what better way to commemorate the holidays than with some fantastic Christmas tunes? Here are some we have grown to enjoy, so enjoy these as we do and have a very Merry Christmas!

Happy holidays! In my family we always listen to Laura Nyro's "Christmas and The Beads of Sweat" album during Christmas Eve, because we're pretty secular and by the time the holiday is actually here, my mom and I are sick to death of the usual carols and stuff (I have a total Mary Hart-itis reaction to "Do You Hear What I Hear" and find it kind of threatening. I swear to god I have a panic attack every time I hear it.). Anyway, I like this song, and it's the only thing I can think of to post today.

Sofia Talvik's Xmas Calendar, window 24 Merry Christmas! Today us Swedes celebrate Christmas but since some of you celebrate on the 25th this is just the next to last window in my Xmas Calendar. So why not combine a very Swedish Christmas song with a very American instrument. In today's window I'm singing and playing "Strlande Jul" on a mountain dulcimer I got earlier this year. I've never really played the dulcimer before but I thought it had quite a Christmassy kind of sound.

I was reminded the other day to pick up Kishi Bashis 151a after a friend sent me the track Manchester on spotify the other day. I listened through the album once when it came out earlier this year - a quick listen. But it was finals season, and I had a whirlwind of things to do and I didn't have music as a priority then. So it rested on the shelf while I listened to my saved study playlists. I picked it back up last week, and since Ive listened through it through it a dozen [...]]]>
