Here is Mix Six in the 12 Plays series. This playlist includes a diverse collection of Christmas and wintry songs, just in case you are somewhere in the world where it is not going to be a white Christmas. Indie giants like Yo La Tengo, Comet Gain, Chris Letcher and Belle and Sebastian, plus relatively new bands like Band of Horses, Great Lake Swimmers and Phantom Planet contribute to this newest Christmas songs playlist.
(Above: The note Santa is reading in the cartoon reads: “Dear Santa, If you leave a new bike under the tree, I will give you the antidote to the poison I put in the milk – Tommy.”)
A Change of Pace offers up the introspective “Christmas on the Coast” and the Parenthetical Girls present indie cheer with “I Love Christmas”, plus holiday season songs by Dave Melilo, The Halo Brothers, The Reindeer Section, Phofo and Jason Gleason.
