Is it too late for a few more Xmas songs? Hopefully not, since only today our true love gave us the trio of Gallic chicks, and we avariciously anticipate with pleasure what the next nine days will bring.

Perennial pp faves The Dollyrots have rounded up five of their holy hymns and widgeted them thusly: (We particularly like #'s 1, 2, & 3.) Thanks, 'rots!




We especially like #'s 1, 2 (Reporters), 6 (Harmony Dischord), 11 (Postcode), and 12 (Watoo Watoo) from the 16-song Small Bear Records compilation, Never Mind the Baubles . . .. Many thanks to The Devil (irony . . . or not?) for the alert.




This powerpop carol is quite cool but also big in bytes (43.9 MB), so you decide.

These Rule (IOHO): Teenage Fanclub, Neutral Milk Hotel, Yo La Tengo, Mates of State, Julie Ocean, Ruling Class, Very Most, Pinto, et. al. . . .

Although generally unenamored of "the ruling class," we know when to make exceptions.

Are we posting too many again? Gosh, we hope not. We've stopped loving everything, but we sure love these.
