It's 12 for Twenty-Twelve from Philly's premier Adult Album Alternative radio station. WXPN has been doing their "12 Days Of Christmas" feature, spotlighting mostly original Christmas music from local Philadelphia artists, for quite some time. This year, you can download the whole set right up front and then follow along as they spotlight the artists and songs each day. It's an eclectic set, as usual, featuring some terrific pop tunes, some Indie Folk, some Alt Rock, some Americana and more. On first listen, my personal standouts include SPiN's hook laden Power Pop "Christmas Time Again (I'll Be Good Next Year)", Shaun Ruymen's folky lament "You, Me and The Christmas Tree", and Ginger Coyle's jazzy strut "It Feels Like Christmas". But the one that really got my attention, as I'm always looking for truly unique expressions of the season, was the Bonus Track "Goodnight Moon" from City Rain, an atmospheric new wave electronica track that immediately sent me running to their web site and Bandcamp in search of more. The track ends a bit abruptly, for my taste, but I loved every second of it.
