One of my favorite things about the holiday season is the melancholic music that comes along with it. I can’t stand the tacky, jarring music sometimes associated with the Christmas season. It’s a pretty emotional time, I think, for a lot of people. Myself included. So I put on some Christmas songs that really affect me and also other tracks that fit the mood of the mix. I hope you like the tracks!
♫ From Now On Our Troubles Will Be Out of Sight (44.57 min)
♫ Grouper – Wind and Snow
♫ Department of Eagles – Phantom Other
♫ Joni Mitchell – River

You need to scoot on over to Pitchfork and watch the short film for Feist’s “The Water” starring her, Cillian Murphy and David Fox. It was directed by Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew. GO!

I know pretty much everyone has already seen/heard this but it’s just too gorgeous to pass up. Justin Vernon‘s voice is perfect for cold weather. I’ve been listening to his CDs on repeat on my walks to school and it clicks very well. And now he goes and covers Feist. How awesome would it be if someday in the future they recorded something together?
Bon Iver-The Park (Feist cover)
Vernon and Feist both appear not once but twice on the Dark Was the Night compilation everyone’s buzzing about. Pre-order it here.
