7 Christmas Songs That Don't Suuuuuuuuck

Okay, I like Christmas music, sue me. NO REALLY. Sue me, I dare you. I have lawyers for fingers and it will be such a delight for them to get their briefcases out and write down some notes. You have NO IDEA how long it's been since they're taken notes.

BUT JONNY, Christmas music suuuuuuuucks, you say. Okay, maybe. Not if you love Enya though. If you do love Enya then you are the kind of fool who can get around Christmas pretty easy.  But I made the case for Enya a while ago. This is about 7 Christmas songs that aren't Enya, who do not suck, unless you think they do, but they don't, so you are probably wrong. It's okay. I was wrong about Elysium. I thought it was going to be an awesome movie. It wasn't. At all.

Hit play then meet me after the HTML code.



1. Low - Just Like Christmas ~ Okay, this is a pretty simple song. It's warbly. It's an original. Is good.

2. Bon Voyage - Holly Jolly Christmas ~ This is Jason Martin and his wife, Julie. I like their stuff. I told Jason once at Cornerstone he should make am entire Christmas album. He talked about how he drives trucks 9 months a year so he can afford to tour the other three months. It was sad.

3. The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song ~ What, you don't like the 60s? I can't help you.

4. Starflyer 59 - A Holiday Song ~ What is this like a Jason Martin blog or something? Well, you could do worse.

5. Pedro the Lion - I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day ~ Proof positive that sad-sack-o-crap Christmas songs are probably the best of all possible birds.

6. Sarah Masen - Heaven's Got a Baby ~ Original Christmas songs can be rly good. Esp if they're sung by beautiful little bbies like Sarah Masen.

7. Rosie Thomas - Christmas Don't Be Late ~ I don't know how she did it but Rosie made this terrible terrible Chimpmunks song into an amazing gospel number. No joke. This is gorge. A gorge of beauty. Jumped by Evel Knievel in 1986.

Leave your favorite Christmas song in the comments! Or don't! No skin off my stomach! haha!

Some Random Thoughts and non required guidelines for lists.

Hey there, this started as a seperate post and then it was going to be a comment on jim's last post and then it went back to being a seperate post. crazy huh?





1. Thanks jim for breaking the "funny" lists ice with a "serious" list. I hope everyone realizes that both are wanted and accepted, especially now as the end of the year is prime awesome list time. I was going to put up a post suggesting that Best Album/song/movie and similar lists be posted by this coming thursday so as to give them a little list affirmative action boost and so that our blog could beat at least some of the other lists so we don't look like list copying ponies. However now that Jim has posted one, I hope others don't feel intimidated following suit at their leisure. And also the deadline is totally fake so just do whatever you want.

2. When you post said lists please try to follow my previous comment and include a little chatter about things, such as why you liked it or something, or some info if its someone you think most of us haven't heard of, or its got something interesting about it. You don't have to write about each item but at least some.

3. I know it can be a hassle adding lots of pictures or you may not know how, but if possible please add pics like jim did. good job jim. you did it. And If you wanna get really crazy jonny style and hyperlink it out then go for it. If not okay too.

4. Again not a requirement, but it will be more fun if people are commenting and attempting to engage the lists and thier listifiers. Don't you think so? I do. This may be difficult with the "silly" lists, but should be easier with the "serious" ones, especially the movie and music ones. I'm not talking about writing full length articles or thesis, but I am talking about more than "nice list bro, I'm outta here" or " " (that means no comment, haha I'm so clever!). But also no pressure.

5. When commenting on "zany" lists pretty much everything goes, but on "serious" lists let's try to be mildly civil and friendly like. That way people don't feel intimidated or lame. This doesn't mean no fighting or arguing, it just means no comments like "fleet foxxxs suk, faggott! Korn 4eva!" I think this is pretty self explanatory, even for those of us with poor awareness of social mores. (not that we have had a problem with this yet. jes' sayin')
