Woohoo! Well, free's one and only nomination didn't make it in, but I don't know that he expected it to.
P.S. The featured image for this post is waaaaaay too cute. Nice job.
Thank God mine wasn't included.
that may have been due to the curator's strong dislike for that song going back to the original 93X days rather than its content (though i actually liked it a little more listening to it this time).
Looking very forward to this. Thanks HJ!
Dido on the image too.
Holiday mix (he says, nodding toward number 15). 👍
I'm nodding towards #18, too
All the best Christmas songs were written by Jews. 😉
"Silent Night" -- celebrates 200 years next year
"Joy to the World" -- celebrates 300 years in two years
I did not know Three Dog Night was that old!
it's an old-fashioned love song
+1 WGOM is the loneliest number...
OkGo FTW (again)
Good thing to have Blackalicious there to break up the tradition of Bing and Nat.
Oh snap, we forgot RUN DMC's classic. Derp.
We'll do another one eventually. Not like we're ever going to run out of options.
But what if Christmas loses the "War on Christmas?" Then what would be the purpose of another one? Nostalgia?
Well, if we lose that war, then I assume all music will be banned shortly after.
Then we can all briefly bow our heads in remembrance in our drab grey coveralls at the government internment and re-education center.
