Christmas Past: Misfit Christmas Shows / Xmas List

The Island of Misfit Christmas Shows Compilation

(Audio captures taken from various public domain/out of print/seldom aired Christmas themed cartoons, films and TV shows. The sources used tended to be of fairly low quality to begin with so be prepared for a certain amount of sonic dirt and grime. The tracks were originally meant for a podcast where they would have been cross-faded together - as a result some of songs begin or end more abruptly than I would have liked  - easy to hide with a cross-fade but fairly evident here. There's also the occasional snatch of dialog or sound effect on a few of the tracks.)

Features songs from:

• The Littlest Angel (1969)
• Santa's Surprise
• A Snow White Christmas
• The Christmas Visitor
• Where's Raymond (Ray Bolger Sitcom)
• The 12 Days of Christmas
• Pathe News
• Santa Claus (the Mexican flick made (in)famous by MST3K)
• Santa and the Fairy Snow Queen
• The Night Before Christmas (Castle Films)
• A Very Merry Cricket
• Pink Panther Christmas
• Hymnalogue - O Come all Ye Faithful
• Hymnalogue - O Little Town of Bethlehem
• Hymnalogue - Jingle Bells

• The Island of Misfit Christmas Shows

A selection of screen captures from some of the programs can be found here.

You never know just what you'll find on people's Christmas Lists...

1. Little Lambsie Penn - I Wanna Spend Christmas With Elvis
2. 3 Blonde Mice - Ringo Bells
3. Dora Bryan - All I Want For Christmas Is A Beatle

Christmas Past: Spooky Little Christmas

While sorting through my Christmas CDs I came across the long lost 2005 SWO Christmas archive disc.

Senses Working Overtime in the News

A neat early Christmas present for SWO today in the form of an article (two actually) in the Press Enterprise. I'd done an email interview with the article's author  Todd Van Der Werff a few days back but had no idea how much, if any, of what I said/wrote would make the final cut. I was pleasantly surprised with the finished product - and my kids think I'm a star! Thanks very much to Mr. Van Der Werff for covering the web sharity community and hopefully exposing more nearly forgotten Christmas music to a wider audience.

A Most Excellent Christmas Children's Chorus Christmas

I know next to nothing about these albums  - they sound like someone simply recorded them at their kid's school Christmas concert. Just a piano accompanying a few not particularly talented kids.Add your own polite applause and you've got the soundtrack to  a virtual small town Christmas pageant, without the charm or the cute skits.  Probably for hardcore Christmas collectors only.
