I haven't done a Christmas/Holiday show in a few years, so here we go. Lots of Indie Rock from Sufjan Stevens, The Magnetic Fields, Eux Autres, The Reds Pinks & Purples, Mark Lanegan, Julian Plenty (Paul Banks from Interpol), Beth Ditto, Shannon & The Clams. Assorted soul & country from James Brown, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Buck Owens, John Denver & Johnny Cash. Weird/awesome stuff from The Flaming Lips, Beck, Brazzaville. And a couple from Low (RIP Mimi Parker).
