Weird Christmas

Can't really get into Christmas/Holiday music but part of me wishes I could. To reconcile this fact, I made a playlist this year called "Weird Christmas" which is made up of not-so-traditional Christmas/Winter/Holiday songs by independent artists. It's indeed pretty weird - you wouldn't even know some of these were Christmas-themed by listening to them, like the 65daysofstatic track, but that's OK. Anyway, here it is.

1. I Do Not Care For The Winter Sun (what a great title) - Beach House
2. White Nights (Psychic TV cover) - The Golden Filter
3. The Village Drunkard - Father and Son
4. Wish List - Neon Trees
5. Christmas Reindeer - The Knife
6. TwentyFourTwelve - 65daysofstatic
7. Christmas Suite - Heidecker & Wood
8. She Came Home for Christmas - Mew
9. What's This? - Danny Elfman
10. Artificial Snow (Bedroom Take) - Atlas Sound
11. Silent Nation - AWOLNATION

I also used to have a version of "Silent Night" by IAMX/Chris Corner sung in French called "Douce Nuit" but lost it. That would've made the list otherwise.
