I liked last year's cover better, but what can ya do. I'm running out of ideas ;)
- I Wish It Was Christmas Today - Julian Casablancas. A great take on an SNL classic.
- Tiny Tree Christmas - Guster. Target put out a free Christmas CD to download from their website of all the Christmas songs from their commercials. This was my favorite before I even knew it was Guster. I love that a bunch of Jewish guys make some awesome Christmas music.
- Shake Up Christmas - Train. I heard this song in a radio commercial and loved it - it's a nice, upbeat Christmas song.
- Boots - The Killers. Another winner for their fifth annual Christmas single. I put this one somewhere below Don't Shoot Me Santa and somewhere above Joseph, Better You Than Me.
- Electronic Santa - Blazer Force
- Christmas Was Better In The 80s - The Futureheads. Lot of truth to that.
- Wish List - Neon Trees. Leaving aside my classic repeat final track, this is my favorite Christmas track from 2010 - an iTunes freebie "Christmas single of the week" gold mine!
- Everything Is One Big Christmas Tree - The Magnetic Fields
- It's Christmas - Coconut Records
- Mistletoe - Jukebox the Ghost
- Last Christmas - Florence + the Machine
- Little Drummer Boy - The Dandy Warhols
- Got Something For You - Best Coast, Wavves
- 10,000 Watts - Crystal Antlers
- Christmas Isn't Christmas - The Boy Least Likely To
- Snow Is Falling - Darker My Love
- Fairytale of New York - Dustin Kensrue. The original is a classic, and Dustin definitely took some liberties with rewriting one of the verses to make it more "family friendly", but I just love this man's voice so, so, soooo much.
- Splitting up Christmas - Kevin Devine. No explanation necessary.
