It's beginning to look a lot like.... oh my god....

[biffy]

Not even 3pm and I've got the light on. Hiding under a duvet and I still can't feel my feet. It can only mean one thing! (Well, several actually - one of which is that I have terrible circulation)

I'm getting in there a couple of days early and proposing the start of the

2008 Christmas Song Exchange Meme!

Here's how it works:
- I've uploaded a few mixes and albums to get us started. Links under the cut!
- Snag away to your heart's content. If I've screwed any links up let me know.
- Share! If you have something that's not on here, post a link in the comments.
- Pimp! Tell your friends to come share! The more the merrier.
- Check the comments for more uploads. I'll be posting any random songs I find there.

Oooh yeah and I finally found the link to the 'original' Yuletide songs meme and there is, quite honestly, the most Christmas songs I have ever seen in one place, like, EVAR.

Also! (yeah, I'll stop soon I promise) I'm in the process of uploading ALL of my Christmas songs to my Box account here. 156 tracks so far. They're sorted by artist so you can have a look and snag whatever takes your fancy.

Heh. Goodness, you're a veritable treasure trove of Christmas music! I was thinking of doing something like this, except it turns out my Christmas-themed music collection largely consists of the Xfm It's a Cool Cool Christmas album.

I'm going to snag your Alternative Christmas playlist and the Nightmare... soundtrack. Thanks for taking the time to upload all these! I shall come back and share anything I have that you're not already offering. But I think that might be like two songs.

[biffyhouse.livejournal.com]

Enjoy! I might have to ask you to share the XFM album if I can't find mine over the weekend. The CD goblin seems to have eaten some in the move.

I am remembering to take my rock salt with me into the spare room when I go looking though ;)

[mythtaken.livejournal.com]

My sister is in league with the CD goblin, I swear it, I can't even remember some of the stuff I've lent to her it's been so long.

I have the Xfm album on my desk right now and can upload this afternoon if you'd like.

Attagirl! Who says TV never taught us anything?

[biffyhouse.livejournal.com]

Ahh see my sister has (excuse my language) FUCKING TERRIBLE taste in music so I don't lose them to her. She does steal all my books though, and keeps them for so long I forget I even own them sometimes.

[mythtaken.livejournal.com]

Losing books to people is like misplacing little parts of your soul.

[biffyhouse.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah and I found my XFM CD. In the CD rack funnily enough *blushes furiously*

My excuse is that it was next to the Weezer section so I thought it was The Blue Album!

[mythtaken.livejournal.com]

Ha! Oh, it's always in the last place you'd think to look.

How is it that albums manage to disguise themselves as other albums so easily?

[bluntsbitch.livejournal.com]

Taking TNBC soundtrack for I don't have it, tyvm. :D

What's this, what's this?
There's colours everywhere!

I've got something...

Two Christmas songs by Simon&Garfunkel...they're really nice. The one called "Comfort And Joy" is completely acapella and god, their harmonies are to die for. I love them! ♥
