Well Draco & the Malfoys definitely can't be on the playlist. KAT-TUN either.

I’m trying to put together a holiday playlist for the bookstore, which is supposed to involve 60-70% normal music and 30-40% holiday. I should probably note at this point that I hate holiday pop music. As I scroll through my iTunes, pretty much all I have are a few Johnnys songs, a bunch of nasal traditional Celtic stuff, the Love, Actually soundtrack, and Draco & the Malfoys’ version of All I Want for Christmas.

All I want, it turns out, is a Great Big Sea holiday album. PLEASE, GUYS?

I mean, it would probably be all about drinking and partying and being stranded on an ice floe with both your legs chopped off while your sweetheart runs off with a Yankee sailor, but you know. IT WOULD STILL BE AWESOME.

I confess to being very fond (in memory, at least) of Chanticleer's version of Il est né. It wouldn't blend well into very many playlists, though.

So much holiday music is dire, and yet that which I love, I adore. Great Big Sea, eh? Maybe I should expand my musical horizons again.

Well, I hate most nontrad holiday music, except "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," because I first heard it on an episode of Ally McBeal (fine, laugh) and it was just so perfect.
