Your Christmas Playlist

For Some Reason the links never posted on this: so here is a link to really everything you need...search on amazon for the rest, sorry ill do better with links:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=dm_gw_25days?ie=UTF8&docId=1000453281&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=right-1&pf_rd_r=0E9HP3YVS6GXEZBKFF6X&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=502068791&pf_rd_i=163856011

Getting ready for the perfect holiday party only comes swiftly with a fresh Christmas party list right. After all what is a Christmas party without Deck the Halls or Jingle Bells. So instead of acting like I don't get all my free downloads from amazon.com lets just start with AmazonMP3 so you can see all the fantastic songs they have as Free downloads this christmas, then we will go on to what you should purchase.



Im in Love with Amazon.com, not only do they offer insane deals on full albums (Over 500 albums for $5) but there daily deals of albums for $1.99, $2.99, and $3.99 have made me a daily subscriber to the amazon.com/mp3 homepage. I await their tweets with great anticipation. P.S Im not even going to mention the 25 Days of Christmas Free download page that they have. Everyday a new Free Christmas song is made available.



Check that out to start your list then move on to the good stuff:

Numero Uno:
Brandon Heath "The Night Before Christmas"


Im a fan of Brandon Heath, you may have heard he is the new Steven Curtis Chapman, don't let that stigma of CCM (Christian Contemporary Music) music deter you from becoming a fan. After all if anyone should do Christmas justice it should be our CCM artists. This song has the spirit of Christmas, warmth and feeling good all light up inside of the song.

Number 2:
House of Heroes "Silent Night"


A free song from the House of Heroes Presents the Christmas Classics EP. This song is like warm me up by the fireside good. I can't listen to this song and NOT want to grab a cup of Hot Chocolate, marshmellows and snuggle up next to a warm fireplace. If you listen to this song and don't feel the same thing its time to go rent A Christmas Carol or Grinch.

Number 3
Ayiesha Woods "Jingle Bells"


I like a litte soul in my Christmas you know. This song should be added to that party playlist for all your friends to get up and dance to before you sit down and exchange those dirty santa's.

Number 4
Some Orchestra "Joy To The World"


No this is not the Trans-Siberian Orchestra but just as good! & FREE

Number 5
MXPX "Auld Lang Syne"


Save it for the New Years party, but don't miss it

Number 6
Jars of Clay "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen"


Just get, im running short on time here: This band has some of the best melodies there is, and I love the front man's simplistic take on this classic.

OK NOW TO BUY:

Just a Few:

A Must for that Christmas Party:

Family Force 5
The Family Force 5 Christmas Pageant

If anything this is the ONLY album you need to complete a successful Christmas party. Its so good that I almost wish Christmas lasted longer than it does.

The Maine
...And A Happy New Year EP

I really thought i was supposed to be a fan of The Maine after this EP, i wasn't but Im still a big fan of this EP...its $2.99 , skip track 2 and you will have a plesent Christmas.

Dang it ... i truely have more to say but this is the second night in a Row that this Coffee house has closed down early. I will give you more this weekend, i think this is Santa's way of saying you dan why don't you get yourself Internet for Christmas.

Anyways take those to start. And Build off of

Also: Always remember the core:

Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas
N'Sync: Home for Christmas
Relient K: Let it Snow... Let it Reindeer
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Eve and Other Stories

Merry Christmas!

and if your my mom Point of Grace: A Christmas Story

Seabird "Don't You Know Your Beautiful"

Really my only introduction to Seabird was on the radio. I was surprised to hear this song on our local christian radio station. "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" is a really well written, cleverly produced song. Its a great preview of a new project from this band. The band comes from none-other then Da'Nati, that's Cincinnati, Ohio for those of you who didn't grow up there. There label debut album " 'Til We See Shore" seems like it was a steller release. The songs are unique and the musicality of the instruments sometimes reminds me of Coldplay. Aaron Morgan, the lead singer has a quality rock voice. Its unique and he lays out songs that fit him perfectly.

Im more excited at how DYKYB moves the band forward leaps and bounds. With this radio hit their album release is sure to be a good release for them. I love the indie feeling of the beginning, almost like the beginning of a Juno soundtrack. With this single I can't wait to hear whats next. The band releases a 2 song Christmas EP on November the 23rd, Ill keep my ears peeled for theses songs too and can't wait to hear more music from a band that is making the right steps forward.

Get it on iTunes or amazonmp3.com!

Adam Lambert Disappointed?

I think im disappointed in the new Adam Lambert Single... "For Your Entertainment" Hold on... I enjoy this song, im all for these crazy pop songs that we love so much and we spin on the radio until it is killed and we hate it. I will do that exact thing with this song. However, do you remember "Time For Miracles" released just a couple weeks ago. Im just left a little confused as to what Lambert is going for. Does he want to be the male equivalent of Britney Spears, or become a rock icon. I was kind of thinking he was going the Daughtry route.

the single For Your Entertainment was most likely was left on the cutting room floor of Britney Spears last album, so bravo Lambert for picking it up off the floor however I think you sold yourself a little short on this song. Cool song but your voice is better than that. Time For Miracles was a great debut single after American Idol. For Your Entertainment will certainly be played on the radio but it wont win an album purchase from me.

im hoping your album is more like Time For Miracles and less like For Your Entertainment. I thought you may have the upper hand on Kris Allen however im thinking he may actually put out the better album now.
