Tune to KWLC on Saturdays from 2:30pm–4:00pm (CST) to hear Freeform Faust.
| Artist | Album | Track | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| John Lee Hooker | Blue Yule | Blues for Christmas | CD player wouldn’t play and I was already depressed. |
| Miles Davis | Cool & Collected | So What | The show got off to a bad start. In an effort to save it, I “rewound the tape” and started over from the end of the previous show. |
| John Lee Hooker | Blue Yule | Blues for Christmas | CD player worked. Yippie! We are off to a good start. |
| Leroy Carr | Where Will You Be Christmas Day | Christmas in Jail-Ain’t That a Pain | The song didn’t play right. The CD was cracked and held together by the label. I love this CD. Now I am really bummed. |
| The Sonics | Here Are the Sonics | Don’t Believe In Christmas | |
| The Damned | Punk Rock Christmas | There Ain’t No Sanity Claus | |
| Captain Sensible | New Wave Christmas—Just Can’t Get Enough | One Christmas Catalogue | |
| El Vez | Happy Birthday Baby Jesus | Feliz Navi-Nada | |
| Wall Of Voodoo | Just in Time for Christmas | Shouldn’t Have Given Him A Gun For Christmas | Brings back X-Mas show memories with Mr. Stout circa 1990 |
| The Christmas Jug Band | Mistletoe Jam | Somebody Stole My Santa Claus Suit | |
| Jeff Mitchell | Monkey & the X-mas Blues | ||

| Air Force Band of the Midwest | An Evening in December | Christmas Crackers | Faust speaks again |
| planetdan | The Kickassiest Xmas ‘06 | The Kickassiest Christmas | Available for download from ‘TIS THE SEASON and Stuff’ via planetdan.net and brought to my attention by Listener Dan. |
| Johnny “Bowtie” Barstow | A Bowtie Christmas and More | The First Noel | Purchase his album from CDBaby and visit his myspace profile. |
| Eddie Lawrence | Christmas Party with Eddie G. | Merry Old Philosopher #1 | |
| Bobby Lloyd And The Skeletons | Christmas Party with Eddie G. | Do You Hear What I Hear/You Really Got Me | |
| James Brown | James Brown and His Famous Flames Sing Christmas Songs | Let’s Make Christmas Mean Something This Year (Parts 1 & 2) | Now even the vinyl is skipping on me. |
| Bootsy Collins | Christmas Is 4 Ever | Winterfunkyland (aka Winter Wonderland) | Easily the best new holiday album this year! |
| Bootsy Collins | Christmas Is 4 Ever | Boot-Off (aka Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) | |
| Rhan Wilson | The Return of an Altared Christmas | Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer | A Just Plain Folks Music Awards nominated song |
| Rhan Wilson | The Return of an Altared Christmas | Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer | A little long, but otherwise close to genius. Download the version from David Gans’ KPFA show via Rhan’s site. His CDs are available for sale too and make great stocking stuffers. |
| Ike & Tina Turner | The Best of Cool Yule | Merry Christmas Baby | Rhan got me out of my seasonal funk and now the last song won’t play. Tried three times. |
| Otis Redding | Soul Christmas | White Christmas | This is a fine, if overplayed, track to replace Ike & Tina. |
Notes
Here is a link to the video for Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ via YouTube mentioned by Jason. It is in black and white and takes him back to the early sixties, which is before he was born. Jason says he loves any Christmas song that attempts to be a Phil Spector song. I simply like the songs on the actual Phil Spector Christmas album.
The person who sang ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ on the Love Actually soundtrack was not some nameless studio musician as I derisively stated. It was Olivia Olson, who has a name and is the actress who played Joanna in the film (see a clip via YouTube). According to her Wikipedia entry, Love Actually director Richard Curtis thought Olivia’s singing was so perfect that the audience would not believe it was really an eleven-year-old. So they trained her to not to sing so well. Sorry Olivia. Now I understand.
The worst part of the entire exchange about Love Actually, ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, and Billy Mack was that I uttered the words "the Mariah Carey one is good". I don’t know what got into me. I probably meant to say that the Fin.K.L. one is good. Actually, the Twelve Girls Band one is probably the best.
