It’s Christmas Eve, making this day 11 of the series. Before tomorrow’s big reveal of the greatest Christmas album of all time, here are some of the random bits of Christmas I came across this month. The Best Christmas Music Video Ever Ali Lohan, Lindsay’s 15-year-old younger sister, decided to make a song called “Christmas… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Music: Odds and Ends

Winter Gloves cover LCD Soundsystem

Montreal band Winter Gloves just put out a cover of LCD Soundsystem’s “Someone Great” possibly in an attempt to get attention, but hopefully in an attempt to make good music. Regardless it’s a good cover by a good band that I’ve never heard of before. According to their MySpace, the song is part of the… Continue reading Winter Gloves cover LCD Soundsystem

12 Days of Christmas Music: The Hotel Cafe’s “Winter Songs” Compilation

LA music venue The Hotel Cafe put out a holiday compilation this year called “Winter Songs.” Since The Hotel Cafe focuses on female singer/songwriters, the album is solely that. All your favorite women of music like KT Tunstall, Ingrid Michaelson, Fiona Apple and Katy Perry (singer/songwriter? Really?) are there giving you soft snowy goodness. I… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Music: The Hotel Cafe’s “Winter Songs” Compilation

Radical Face News: Patients Project

Radical Face has come up with a fascinating project, titled “Patients”, in which Ben Cooper (Radical Face himself, and one half of Electric President) will release 10 random songs of his on an album and then trade the album to people for anything. And by anything, I mean anything at all. He’ll take a book,… Continue reading Radical Face News: Patients Project

Woods

I’ve always wanted to know what a traveling band going through a mountain pass making music would sound like. Oh, great! Here’s Woods! While they may not write their songs that way (booo) they certainly evoke a new kind of folk that’s oh so popular these days. The band has this eerie sound reminiscent of… Continue reading Woods

12 Days of Christmas Music: Sufjan Stevens

The story goes that every year between 2001 and 2006 (sans 2004) Sufjan Stevens would record an EP of Christmas songs to give out to his family and friends. In 2006 he decided to gather all the EPs together and release them in one giant collection called Songs For Christmas. The set is comprised of… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Music: Sufjan Stevens

Super Mash Bros.

Have you noticed we sometimes have themes here at Knox Road (see “Alliteration Day”)? Well this time it is merely coincidence that I am posting some mash-ups right after Jamie posted a mash-up. Also, these ones are actually good. Super Mash Bros. are Dick Fink and Nicholas Fenmore, and are the self-proclaimed cousin of Girl… Continue reading Super Mash Bros.

“Single Ladies” vs. Fleet Foxes Mashup

From that same guy who gave us the best mashup ever, is Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” against “Ragged Wood” by Fleet Foxes. The Hood Internet posted it as one of the mashups they made that didn’t really work, and I have to agree with them. It doesn’t mesh real well, but it’s still endlessly entertaining (GOSH,… Continue reading “Single Ladies” vs. Fleet Foxes Mashup
