Posted on Dec 15th, 2010 in Downloads by Mr. Goldbar
With the annual Fool’s Gold holiday jam mere days away (RSVP or yr assed out!) what better time to round up some festive tunes and mixes while there’s still time to enjoy em? Hit the jump for some recent favorites and a special seasonal FG throwback.
Kanye West f. CyHi Da Prynce “Christmas In Harlem” – this title and no Killa? Update: Killa.
Mayer Hawthorne “Christmas Time Is Here” – Charlie Brown cover from our Discotheque tourmate. Says Mayer: “All the best Christmas songs were written by Jews, and Chanukah songs suck. This is my favorite Christmas tune, sung over the Vince Guaraldi instrumental.” (Editors note: Beck “Little Drum Machine Boy” is a Chanukah song that does not suck).
Saint Etienne “No Cure For The Common Christmas” – Sarah Cracknell, still killing it.
Annie Lennox Christmas Jukebox – she bad too.
Moshi Moshi A Christmas Gift For You – festive covers from the UK indie. Download Summer Camp’s Waitresses flip here. Nice touch going Phil Spector on the cover art, too.
The Bird Peterson Holiday Spectacular – xmas beats from Bird Pete.
Low Budget Crew A Low Budget Christmas – more holiday rapstrumentals. RoddyRod’s Donny Hathaway chop is particularly fun.
Mattie Safer “O Holy Night” – Mattie links up with Dances With White Girls and they get their gospel on.
Nick Catchdubs Holiday Sweat Out 2008 – CD freebie in the gift bags from our first ever holiday party with 10.Deep. Hasn’t been online until now! Soundcloud is bugging at the moment, tracklist below.
