 Here's a new Anti-Christmas anthem released last year that hits the spot about now. Benjamin Shaw & Fighting Kites with a Lo-Fi Indie Pop masterpiece, "This Christmas (I Just Want To Be Left Alone)". I know how you feel, Ben, truly I do. All proceeds raised will go to the UK's Shelter.org, but it's a "Name-Your-Price" download at Bandcamp (re-released by Audio AntiHero), if you're not feeling particularly charitable. I think you're going to like it. A lot.

Merry Xmas Everybody - CRAZY MAN MICHAEL DOWNLOAD FROM LITTLE RED RABBIT LITTLE RED RABBIT ON FACEBOOK Somewhere in the back of my head, I sort of remember coming across this little artist-run British label and their intentions of putting together a Christmas record last year. I think I even mentioned them in one of our early posts last year, but I don't think I ever followed up. Looks like this was released fairly close to Christmas 2011. Anyway, Little Red Rabbit is fairly DIY with a bit of a collective twist. "Seasonalia" is more of a label sampler than a Christmas record (not that there's anything wrong with that), and here you will find pretty much the entire label roster. I'd call most of it Indie Folk (or Alt Folk or Post Folk). Easily, my favorite from the set is Quiet Loner's"Tears of St. Brides". The opener from Fuzzy Lights was good, also, if not especially Christmasy. And, from a strictly Christmas music perspective, Crazy Man Michael "finds the sadness in Slade", as the label points out, making his (their?) "Merry Xmas Everybody" a worthy addition to any holiday library. For me, the rest was pretty much filler. But the joy of it's "freeness" is that you get to make your own call on that, and it don't cost you nuthin'. |
