Christmas Downloads

Hi!

Found this blog that has a lot of really good Christmas songs that are down-loadable here.

Enjoy!

Early Winter - by Allie and David

So this mix of ours went through quite an evolution to get to this point. It was originally a 100% electronic/trip-hop mix with few vocals, but to spare everyone from going mad we added variety to the point there was little to no electronics left. Being said, we lost our "theme" in the process, but we still liked it so we will simply call this the early winter mix :) enjoy.

1. "Madder Red" by Yeasayer

2. "I Want the World to Stop" by Belle & Sebastian

3. "David" by The Radio Dept

4. "We Own the Sky" by m83

5. "Friday Night" by Ariel's Pink Haunted Graffiti

6. "Helicopter" by Deerhunter

7. "Zebra" by Beach House

8. "Bright Bright Bright" by Dark Dark Dark

9. "Tighten Up" by the Black Keys

10. "Art isn't Real (City of Sin)" by Deer Tick

11. "Ramona" by Beck

12. "Down From Above" by Vetiver

"This Girl Can Sing" Mix by Jeff and Lacey

For our mix, Jeff and I compiled some of our favorite girl singers. It is sort of all over the map, but we featured artists that we currently love.

(You each should have received an email with links to download these tracks. Please let me know if you did not receive it!)

Without further ado, our mix:

01. "Don't Leave My Mind" by Azure Ray.
New album. Beautiful harmonies.

02. "You Told a Lie" by Camera Obscura.
Isobell Campbell is one of my favorite singers. Doesn't sound like a trained vocalist, but that's why I love it so much.

03. "Wasted Daylight" by Stars.
Catchy, right?

04. "Big Wave" by Jenny and Johnny.
This is a new project for Jenny Lewis. And, I think her voice keeps getting better and better.

05. "Here's Where the Story Ends" by The Sundays.
One cannot include a mix of favorite girl singers without Harriet Wheeler. Such a unique sound.

06. "Little Shadow" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Karen O. is one of my rock'n'roll idols. If you've seen her live, you know what I mean!

07. "Bag of Hammers" by Thao Nguyen.
Love this imperfect-lovely-sound.

08. "Bottom of the World" by Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton.
Love Emily's voice.

09. "Lay Your Head Down" by Keren Ann.
Another catchy tune, but it's cause of this beautiful voice.

10. "Little Fire (feat. Emmylou Harris)" by Patty Griffin.
Are you a Patty Griffin fan? I love her. And, Emmylou, is pretty awesome too!

11. "Spring" by The Innocence Mission.
Some of you know my obsession with The Innocence Mission, but particularly, Karen Peris voice- stunning!

12. "John Saw That Number" by Neko Case.
Ah man. I love Neko's amazing voice- SO strong!

13. "I Don't Know" by Lisa Hannigan.
Another pretty vocalist.

14. "I Feel it All" by Feist.
Yes, Feist. I love Leslie's voice.

There you have it! Hope you enjoy our mix.

So... who would you add to this list?!

Welcome!

Hi Mix-makers,

Please introduce yourself in the comments! We've got a total of six mixers, so we'll each be making two mixes a year. I hope that works for you.
