Radio stations offer Christmas compilations

Roy Kasten, the web editor at KDHX in St. Louis, signals us that his station once again has a compilation of artists performing Christmas songs live in their studios. Folks like Deer Tick, Rum Drum Ramblers, Grace Basement, Half Knots, Rough Shop, Letter to Memphis, Rah Rah, Neé and many more provide an array of tunes, many of which appear to be originals, across an eclectic spread of styles and genres. Most, but not all tunes are downloadable via Soundcloud; the rest are streaming-only. Check them out here.
And I don't think I mentioned that WXPN-FM in Philadelphia has, for the second year in a row, released a freely downloadable compilation of Philly-area artists performing holiday tunes. Among the performers are Good Old War, Deb Callahan, Shaun Ruymen, Ryan Tennis, Aaron Brown and the York Street Hustler, and a good few others. Like KDHX's collection, it's fairly eclectic; unlike KDHX's, it's all studio versions and no streaming.
Speaking of compilations, for those of you who didn't notice it lurking there in the left column, this year's Mistletunes mix disc liner notes have been posted. Check it out at your leisure.
