Christmas Muzak

In the spirit of the season, I generally tune my radio into the all-holiday all-the-time station (except in the morning when I pretty much have to listen to NPR). And as much as I love holiday music, it's become pretty evident that there really haven't been too many new Christmas songs in awhile. It seems like there's two dozen new Christmas TV specials (at least on Lifetime) every year, but new songs? Not so much.

So I decided to scrounge up a few of my fave bands doing the next best thing--Christmas covers. Not all the quality is awesome, but I figured in the spirit of the season, all would be forgiven.

Bright Eyes: Blue Christmas


Coldplay: Christmas Song


My Morning Jacket: A Chipmunk Christmas


EDIT
This isn't a video, but I got the Maine's Christmas EP, ...And A Happy New Year, in the mail today, complete with their Wham! cover. Enjoy!



Know of a good Christmas cover? Send me the link!!

I've been listening to it almost nonstop for the past few days. & the guys in the band are super sweet too.
