Description

Album · 2006 · 10 Songs. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

The real strength of . ool, Cool Christmas’ lies not in its supposed credibility but in the broadness of its palette. After all, how many Christmas compilations could get away with fielding a song as splendidly named as Giant Sand’s ‘Thank You Dreaded Black Ice, Thank You’, or spin off on a perversely Hawaiian tip, as does Morgan’s ‘Christmas In Waikiki’? As one might expect, this eclecticism leads to a jumbled, often playful stocking; certainly, Grandaddy seem well aware of the shameless novelty that pervades this genre, kicking off the album with ‘Alan Parsons In A Winter Wonderland’ – all.

It's a Cool, Cool Christmas is a Christmas charity compilation album released in 2000 by Xfm on Jeepster Records in aid of The Big Issue. The album includes a mixture of traditional Christmas songs and original songs with a Christmas theme.

Cool Christmas is a solid collection of recent original Christmas compositions by contemporary artists who hover between alternative music credibility and mainstream rock recognition. Older tales like The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" and Lou Reed's "Xmas in February" sit comfortably with Barenaked Ladies' "It's Christmas Time (oh yeah)," and Flaming Lips' odd "Christmas at the Zo. Includes, among others, Throwing Muses, They Might Be Giants, Joni Mitchell, and Daniel Lanois.

It's Gonna Be A) Lonely Christmas. fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.

It takes perfect timing, sensitive production and a whole lot of luck to land a timeless Christmas song. Many try, but most fail to live up to the glam anthems, carolling standards and crooning staples that we like to call the best Christmas songs of all time. Forget it. You’re not a ‘Best Of’ anything. If you’re an artist putting together an entire LP, you’ll need a dedication to the Christmas cause like no other. You’ll need to immerse yourself in the festive spirit in a way that us Scrooge-like mortals can only dream of. You’ll need to become Christmas itself. So whose classic albums have made the cut? Which charitable compilations stand head and shoulders above the rest?

Everything's Gonna Be Cool This Christmas by Eels also stands out for its upbeat approach, E announcing the arrival of the middle eight with the immortal line, "Baby Jesus: born to rock". For me, though, the best thing about this great comp is that it's not all sleigh bells and soporific harmonies. I got this CD when it came out, not only as I am a strong supporter of the Big Issue but also because I get involved with Crisis @ Christmas. Anyhow this is a belter of a CD and as this Blog says it is a nice counterpoint to the usual sleighbells and festive schmaltz that does the rounds @ Christmas time.

a barbecue I like to boil a ham And I vote for bouillabaisse stew What’s that? I like a weenie bake, steak and a layer cake And you’ll get a tummy ache too We’ll rent a tent or a teepee Let the town crier cry All's well! And if it’s RSVP This is what I’ll reply In the cool, cool, cool of the evening Tell 'em we’ll be there If you need a pair of freeloaders To fracture your affair I may even give them Pagliacci Now stand back and give him air If one can relax and we’ll have a few yaks And you can. tell them we’ll be there Oui,"said the bumblebee Let's have jubilee.
