So, dear reader, tomorrow is Christmas Eve. And I will take the opportunity to write even a small Christmas Special. Which means I'm going to recommend music that fits well with the hard (or maybe not, but more on that later ;-))
There are so many Christmas songs which was also extremely hard in front of the radio quite often run .. . what bugs me the most of it is, of course, the nasty "Last Christmas "by Wham!. However, there are more pleasant covers of this song. First, an electro version of the band" Jeans Team "( download here ) and a version of the Britpop band Travis. The amusing version is from the Cologne Indie band Erdmöbel. "And they took the melody of" Last Christmas "and wrote a new German text to the parody of the original (which also funny video can look at her you here ).
The next thing that comes to mind spontaneously in music and Christmas, the album is "We are waiting for the Christ Child" by Die Toten Hosen (published as "The Red Roses"). There, covered the pants mainly the old, classic Christmas songs (You come little children, every year, etc.) with new lyrics ("Little Children come ye, O come ye but all
here to listen) or Voodoo Glow Skulls - "Feliz Navi Dad") or even more covers of classic Christmas songs (such as WIZO - "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"). who also should be mentioned, is the American singer / songwriter Sufjan Stevens (he is probably best known to bring out through his project, for each U.S. state of an album). In 2006 he brought out a box with a total of 40 Christmas songs (some written, some covers). Otherwise, it is
just still many other good bands from different genres and anti-Christmas Christmas songs (eg AC / DC, Sonic Youth or by Weezer) to enumerate them all would only then really break the frame.
it, then I wish you a Merry Christmas and do not forget that Christmas is not just about gifts go ;-)
are PS one years Review it this year too, which is then in a few days
