My Christmas (Play)List

Hey guys! Sorry for not updating frequently... new job means that I don't have time for things that I love anymore :'(

I thought, in honor of this holiday, I'd post some of my favorite christmas songs.
I gotta let you know though, I work retail now. Nothing blows more than retail during this fucking season.

So.

This is my Non-Traditional Christmas Playlist.

The Pussycat Dolls - Santa Baby


I of course listen to the studio version, but this is a fun little performance by The Pussycat Dolls feat. Carmen Electra. All kinds of fun. :-)


Spice Girls - Sleigh Ride

Willa Ford - Santa Baby (Gimme Gimme Gimme)



Skye Sweetnam - Why Doesn't Santa Like Me

Something Corporate - Forget December

Eve 6 - Noel! Noel!

Mel Blanc - The Hat I Got For Christmas is Too Big

Fall Out Boy - Yule Shoot Your Eye Out

From First to Last - Christmassacre

Good Charlotte - Christmas by the Phone

Jewel - Hands (Christmas version)



Jimmy Robbins - Christmas (Hurry Back to Me)



Lady Gaga - Christmas Tree

The Maine - Mr. Winter



The Maine - Santa Stole My Girlfriend


And there you have it! A playlist of my favorite christmas songs. Download, enjoy, and have a happy holiday.

Also, don't be a little shit when you do any retail shopping this year, mmkay? thanks.

So, Peter, You've Become a Pirate

Okay, so I might be addicted to eBay. Down side, I may not be able to afford the things I've bid on. Bright side, Jam Sessions for the DS is on it's way! In honor of it, this post I'll be discussing acoustic musicians.


This is Andrew, my puppet...
The Scene Aesthetic



The Scene Aesthetic is an awesome acoustic band from Seattle headed by Andrew de Torres and Eric Bowlan. They're full of love and totally legit. Eric recently got back from a two year stint in Argentina doing mission work. They first achieved fame all over myspace for being the adorable little tykes they are (and maybe something about music. I dunno.) Andrew is also the lead of another band you may have heard of, Danger Radio. (Apparently, Andrew is just plain ridiculous. My old roommate saw Danger Radio, and he apparently fell over while singing, and spent a majority of the aftershow playing tag with his adorable girlfriend.) Long story short, I love these guys.

The Scene Aesthetic - The Alamo is no Place for Dancing




I wanna be Everything to You
Jimmy Robbins

Jimmy Robbins is a musician signed to Motown Records from North Carolina (maybe south? I get them mixed up) who is gonna charm the pants off of you... except he respects you too much, so cover up. Back in February I saw Jimmy live with William Tell... and my friends and I had a fifteen minute conversation with them after the show. Easily two of the coolest guys I've ever met... especially considering how awkward I was. I mean, I was completely starstruck... not to mention, Jimmy's even prettier in person. Sooooooo pretty. ...anyways, Jimmy often updates his myspace with videos of him singing, usually preceeded by information about what he's up to (and usually an update on how sweaty he is.) His big single is Breathe Again, but I don't know if there's any songs of his I don't like.

Arrrrriiiiiiibbbaaaa!!!
Boyce Avenue

Boyce Avenue is 3 brothers (plus some other guy) that got their start in Gainsville, Florida. Lead by vocalist Alejandro Manzano, Boyce Avenue doesn't just do their own stuff - oh no. They've covered everything from Linkin Park to Rihanna, and they do an amazing job. I found them over spring break and completely fell in love. His vocals are amazing to listen to, and Alejandro knows that guitar like nobody's business. They'll be playing a show in Philadelphia in June, I'm mad excited.
