The Pre-Christmas Tradition!

Welcome to the special pre-Christmas edition of the Thursday Tradition. It is approximately ONE BLOODY WEEK until Christmas day, and what way to rock the house than with a quirky celebration filled with a whimsically proper assortment of tunage? I have kinda postponed the Random 20 because, with so much going on, it's a bit insane. But anywho...

Yes, it's time to deck--erm, rock the halls...

"Winter Wonderland" - The Cocteau Twins


"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" - The Pretenders


*Song of the Week!!*
"Christmas Wrapping" - The Waitresses


"Christmastime Is Here" [instrumental version] - The Vince Guaraldi Trio


"Frosty The Snowman" - The Cocteau Twins


AND, a little bonus showdown--the original versus the cover! Both are awesome and, quite frankly I'm going for the cover as I heard this before the original. But, hey! I want your opinion about which version's better. Sooo...

The Original: "Oi! to the World" - The Vandals


The Cover: "Oi! to the World" - No Doubt


And there y'all have it, enjoy the tunage and, until the next round... be good... Santa's on the list-checkin' these days...

[What goes down in the Underground...]

Mondays start the new workweek. Wednesdays tend to differ, depending on if I need to work or not--usually I'm off, and usually visiting "Uncle" Joseph. Thursdays is the Daughters of the King meeting night. Fridays and Saturdays are normally hectic--never the same drama twice. Sundays = Church day. I update the blog accordingly, with a rant or two, the occasional music post, and sometimes the most random nonsuch.

So stay tuned, because things are fixing to get interesting... and, save your forks--the best is yet to come...
