adrian is rad

Just a quick reminder that the the cover for covers contest #11, continuous hit music is due next Monday at midnight.

Get yours done now, or get psyched to hear a new set of covers.

I’m going to do a radio show of good Christmas music for my last show before Christmas, December 22, 6-9am.

I’m looking for suggestions for songs or albums. Requirements: Christmas songs, mentions Christmas, otherwise appropriately themed. Genre’s not as important, but it’ll mostly be rock.

So far, my list looks something like:

• “Christmas Card” Jimmy Eat World
• Sufjan Steven Christmas EPs
• the Motown Christmas album
• the Phil Spector Christmas Album
• the Low Christmas EP
• the Pedro the Lion Christmas 7″‘s (I have one and I’ll hopefully get the new one at the David Bazan concert on Sunday)
• “Brick” by Ben Folds Five
• “Happy Xmas (The War is Over)” Polyphonic Spree version
• Alfred Reed’s Russian Christmas Music (likely the recording by USC HS, ha!)
• “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” by Death Cab for Cutie
• “Christmas Song” by Mogwai
• the Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas Music (like just “Skating”)
• “Run Away with Me” Jens Lekman

Any other suggestions? In this case it’s equally important that it be “good” and “Christmas.”
