Seeing as it is Christmas Eve, I thought it fitting to post this song on the final day.

“Silent Night” by Low.

“O Come All Ye Faithful” as performed by weezer. Upon hearing this album I was pleasantly surprised.  They stayed with a traditional Christmas song lineup!  And not generic Christmas/Santa songs (save one song), songs you’d sing in church on Christmas eve!  Very well done…

Today is day 7 of the 10 days of Christmas Songs. Songs you know by artists you may not.

“Carol of the Bells” as performed by The Bird and the Bee.  This is quite an interesting duo if you haven’t heard them before.  The Apple/Mac/OSX video set to their Again and Again tune was one of the most creative things I’ve seen in a while.

Day 4 of the 10 days of Christmas Songs.  Songs you know by artists you may not.

“The 12 Days of Christmas” by Relient K off their album: Let it Snow Baby… Let it Reindeer.

My favorite part… “What’s a partridge? And what’s a pear tree? Well I don’t know so please don’t ask me. But I can bet, those are terrible gifts to get!”

Day 1 of the 10 days of Christmas Songs. Songs you know by artists you may not.

“Christmastime Is Here” performed by Jars of Clay on their 2007 release entitled Christmas Songs.  This song is a really arrangement on a really great album.  I had their Drummer Boy EP from 1994 but didn’t realize they released a full Christmas album in 1997 until a few days ago!  Very good.
