Music Recommendations for Christmas 2019

Weird Santa
If you are as appalled by traditional Christmas music as we are, we got a solution! No, we’re not going to offer you chestnuts roasting on an open fire (ugh) or jingle bells (double ugh) or even say that Christmastime is here (well, duh – nothing makes Christmas more depressing than Vince Guaraldi (RIP)).
Paul McCartney once claimed that the moon is right and we tend to believe that tonight is the night when moons align. Our followers come through (as they always do) with both excellent music of their own and a ton of recommendations of music by others. Let us unruin Christmas one song, album and compilation at a time.

Albums

Shane Parish – December 2nd – follow-up to last year’s original album of Christmas covers from our North Carolina friend (and a monstrously talented guitarist who also happens to be a half of Ahleuchatistas). Watch The Two Most Dissonant Chords on the Guitar doc to learn more about Shane.
Circuit Static – Merry Circuit-Mas – dance the Christmas away with the world’s greatest sit-down comedian
Lucidbeaming – Black Christmas

I made a goth Christmas album a few years ago. Still up on @SoundCloud and free to listen to. Enjoy, if you dare…
