We did the Holiday mix. It is awesome. A few new songs I didn't know and other ones that weren't in my regular rotation. Anyway, the awesomeness and previousness of that list doesn't mean this Friday we go silent on discussing holiday music. So. That's the thing.
01. “Sunflower” – Low – Things We Lost In The Fire
02. “Tears For The Sheep” – Atmosphere – Lucy Ford
03. “Lies” – CHVCHES – The Bones Of What You Believe
04. “Waltz #1” – Elliott Smith – XO
05. “I’ll Be Glad” – Bonnie “Prince” Billy – Lie Down In The Light
06. “Santa Claus” – Sonny Boy Williamson – An E-6 Holiday Mixer
07. “Wars Of Armageddon” – Funkadelic – Maggot Brain
08. “Sissy” – Aye Nako – Silver Haze
09. “Shake Your Hips” – The Rolling Stones – Exile On Main St
10. “Bubbles In My Beer” – Willie Nelson – Shotgun Willie
Re: 1.
Neotropic included a drastic remix of a Low song on her album La Prochaine Fois, which was released in the summer of 2001, months after Things We Lost in the Fire.
The first track on her album is "Sunflower Girl". That is not the remix. (The remix, of 1996's "Do You Waltz?", is called "Micro-cosmic".)
I showed the Hall & Oates Jingle Bell Rock video to the kids. I can still hear the 11 year old giggling.
1. Nisennenmondai “#1” #N/A
2. Underworld “Stagger” Second Toughest in the Infants
3. Coil “Regel” Moon's Milk (In Four Phases)*
4. Katy B “All My Lovin'” Little Red
5. Julien Baker “Everything That Helps You Sleep” Turn Out the Lights
6. Björk “Saint”* Utopia
7. Current 93 “Deuteronomy XXXIII:14”* How He Loved the Moon (Moonsongs for Jhonn Balance) — Bonus 7"
8. Katy B “5 AM (Route 94 Remix)” 5 AM
9. Autechre “Cap.IV” Gantz Graf
T. Katy B (with Chris Lorenzo) “I Wanna Be” Honey
I've got holiday music on my iPod but nothing came up.
*Notes:
3. From the "Autumn Equinox" part
6. Opens with a Western Meadowlark song (pretty sure, it's a bit distorted and pitch-corrected), and maybe a Crow overhead. Despite that, I'm not feeling this album in the least. Much like the Knife, Bj seems to have lost her pop sensibilities.
7. KJV: "And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon..."
I should have requested this for the Christmas List
