Zach Curd strikes again! Suburban Sprawl Music put together a holiday compilation available for free download full of weird and wonderful holiday classics. In fact, there are holiday compilations dating back to 2002! That a massive amount of tracks, some good – some painful to listen to. To listen/download everything visit Suburban Sprawl Xmas Music page.
Here are a few more holiday gifts for you. Dave Milligan from Penguin Party has released a Christmas song “It’s Only Christmas – It’ll Soon Be Over” as a free download. Another free goodie comes from The Sexy Accident. They have released a new version of “A Merry Christmas To You.” Remixed by Steve Fisk and features lead vocals by Michelle Plaitis, and featuring clips from It’s a Wonderful Life. And finally, Swedish powerpop band The Genuine Fakes have a free download of their version of Mariah Carey’s hit “All I Want for Christmas”. Ho, ho, ho!
While you are passing out leftover turkey over the next couple of days, there are quite a bit of NEW holiday releases out there to help cure the post-Thanksgiving blues. So let loose those holiday songs!
Greg Pope “Christmas Snow”
When the king of power pop plays we listen, even if it’s one song. Being from the South, Greg rarely gets any snow on Christmas, so when it comes its extra special. Based on a poem that he used to recite to his four year old, I’m glad he made it into a song we all can enjoy. MySpace | Amazon
Jana Peri “I Hate The Holidays”
After a hearing her single on the IPO compilation, this was the next logical step. Peri is a true talent, and for those with a bit of Scrooge in your step, check out the single on My Space – soon to appear on CD Baby. MySpace | CD Baby
Andy Goldberg “Jingle Jangle Pop” EP
It wouldn’t really be the holidays without Andy Goldberg and his tune “Chanukah Guy” about a jew who loves Christmas, featuring Rich Pagano from The Fab Faux on drums. The EP also contains new songs from Andy’s other pop group The Sun Kings – shine a light this season with an excellent holiday EP only at iTunes. Get any of The Goldbergs other CDs on CD Baby. MySpace | CD Baby | Itunes
Andrew Ripp “Blue Sky Christmas” EP
Criminally underrated, Andrew Ripp has a tremendous vocal, and here it provides with a neat little holiday EP for FREE when you spread the word with Noise Trade. In all a total of three songs, it’s a perfect addition to your holiday music mix. MySpace | NoiseTrade
David Dewese “Next Christmas”
Forget some meager little holiday single or EP. David Dewese has full blown Christmas album here, listen to the entire thing streaming from his website. A mix of traditional songs (“Silent Night”) and a few originals (“Still, Still, Still”). Done with catchy guitar and piano it’s so far my favorite holiday album. David’s Website | MySpace | Itunes
