In preparation for Leon (the anti-Noel, duh, June 25th), I stumbled upon some podcasts on iTunes of some awesomely collectible Christmas music in the form of podcasts. I’m busy grabbing as much of it as I can to burn to CD for next Christmas, on the off chance it isn’t here in 6 months.
My greatest find of the day is “Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland.” I don’t know if the artist is a fan or not, but I suspect he is. Either way, it’s bloody fantastic. Look up the podcast “B-Sides for X-mas” and just try to not download the whole damned lot of ’em.
I think I’m going to call my sister and ask her if she wants to have a Leon party this year. I think it could be pretty darned fun.
Get yourself a copy of “I Got Some Presents For Santa” by Sara Taylor and Bill Mumy. I don’t necessarily recommend playing it with Junior in the room, but it’s my favorite – right up there with the Porky Pig cover of Blue Christmas.
Is it available on iTunes?
Do we get presents too?
Yes, I Got Some Presents is on iTunes, just search under MUMY and it’s easy to spot on the alphabetized title list.
