Because Christmas music is fun, I thought I'd share what we have been listening to these days...
1. Phil Wickham- Songs for Christmas
Obviously.
2. King's Kalediscope- Joy Has Dawned
I mentioned my love for them here. It has been my morning companion as of late.
3. Sufjan Stevens- Songs for Christmas
So many great songs. Like a million or so.
4. David Toney- Bright Bright Bright
This album got me out of an I-don't-feel-like-decorating-funk.
5. Future of Forestry- Advent EP/ Advent EP vol. 2
Musical magic. I could possibly listen to these albums all year long. Even in July.
Just so fun. Perfect for background party music.
Shauna's sister Grace's voice is unreal.
Favorite.
Any album. Any song.
Where have they been all of my life?
(Albums also available on itunes...
as well as Spotify.
Public service announcement:
I love Spotify and Pandora as much as the next girl.
But don't be shady.

It is so great for finding new, rad, music.
It is not so great for replacing the need to support musicians by actually purchasing music.
That is all.

What are you listening to?
What do I need to add to my playlist?
I love learning about new music.
King's Kalediscope! Yay...They lead worship at our church. Glad you are enjoyed the lovelies of their album
ReplyDeleteJeremy Camp's new Christmas album is amazing, and DCB's Christmas one as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't forget to add VeggieTales Christmas cds cuz they make me giggle every time I hear them. && because Hubby randomly busts out singing parts of their songs when there isn't any other music playing and we do not have any children. Classic.

ReplyDeletei love musiq soulchild and john legend christmas recordings... mindy smith's holiday album is a super fave, and call me a weirdo, but annie lennox has a legit christmas album, too ;)

The Temptations Christmas album...always a classic and fun! Michael Buble for quiet nights with the tree and some snuggles.

We are listening to Fernando Ortega - http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Songs-Fernando-Ortega/dp/B001ET086C but last time we had to turn it off because it is a bit depressing! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE Sufjan Stevens, especially "Lumberjack Christmas"! I really like the album "Hotel Cafe presents Winter Songs." We play Barenaked Ladies' "Barenaked for the Holidays" at least daily.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendations! I LOVE Sufjan Stevens and just saw him in concert last week (finally someone fantastic comes to Montana!).... it was AMAZING!!!!!
