- Chance the Rapper and Jeremih did a Christmas playlist in 2016, but it was only for streaming. You can run over to Soundcloud right now and actually download it for free. Meanwhile, Stereogum reports that the playlist is becoming an actual album with additional cuts; haven't seen it up anywhere yet, but maybe tomorrow. UPDATE: Revised version is also a free download, go here.
- Chris Isaak put out a fine studio Christmas album a decade or so ago; for 2017, he's doing essentially the same songs live and releasing it as a CD/DVD package.
- Gareth Jones, friend of the site, has a cracking podcast of Christmas music concentrating on off-the-wall covers of familiar holiday tunes, some you may have encountered reading this site and others that are at least a double bank shot off Jupiter and Saturn. Go here and enjoy.
- Oh, and the Mistletunes holiday mix disc tradition continues with Fake Yules.
