CHRISTMAS HAIKU:
Did you get a tree
No, it's more like a large plant
But it still has balls
(Thank you)
The idea is simple.
I wanted to mix ten of my absolute favorite tunes to listen to during the Christmas season and ten of my all time favorite tunes to listen to the rest of the year.
I wasn't shooting for cool. Hence, the inclusion of such heavily rotated tracks by Mariah Carey, Mott The Hoople, The Rascals, and The Pogues.
Please enjoy and try not to yack up your egg nog just because Mariah Carey is represented and not the Fleet Foxes.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

I'm diggin the mix Sal!
Happy Christmas!
Thanks
Merry Happy to you too.
No need to apologize for Mariah Carey. Whatever you think of her, she did give the world with the best Christmas song ever! Let the outcry begin.
Merry Christmas to you and your family and thanks for all the great music throughout the year.
Merry Christmas Sal (and all the other Burners)...as always, thanks for the mixes.
No complaints from me for the Mariah. It's a great song, and she does some of her best singing on it as well. I can't sit still when I hear it. (It just came on my computer, following Fiona Apple's "Frosty the Snowman" and the Raveonettes, "Wishing You a Rave Christmas"). No mix is complete w/o Fairytale for me, I just posted it on my FB yesterday as I do every year. Kirsty, wish you were still here writing and singing. Thanks for another great musical gift, Sal. Happy Christmas all.
Merry Christmas to Sal and to Burning Wood fans everywhere.
And a much better New Year, too.
Sal, what a great collection!
EXCEPT M.C.- sorry, I just cannot accept her on the same list with Kirsty MacColl...
The Rascals, Todd, XTC...
OK, I'll get it and delete that one! lol
Merry Christmas!
Murry Crimmus and thanks for all the fish.
