Eclectic Mainline 22nd December 2010

Well, having said last week I wouldn’t play (m)any festive tunes this year, I’ve crumbled.  This is partly thanks to Sally, who made a festive playlist on Spotify, that reminded me how good (some) festive tunes are.  So tonight, in between a few grand new releases, were dotted a few festive tunes as well:

Koudlam – “See You All” (single) (Luv Luv Luv)
Ensemble – “Things I Forget” (LP – “Excerpts”) (Fat Cat)
Slow Club – “Silent Night” (“Christmas, Thanks For Nothing” EP) (Moshi Moshi)

The Death Set – “Slap Slap Slap Pound Up Down Slap” (single) (Counter)
MY Latest Novel – “Outside It’s Christmas” (“Merry Christmas From Bella Union” EP) (Bella Union)
The Besnard Lakes – “Albatross” (LP – “The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night”) (Jagjagwar)
Villagers – “Becoming A Jackall” (single) (Domino)
Deerhoof – “Super Duper Rescue Heads!” (LP – “Deerhoof vs Evil”) (ATP)
Low “If You Were Born Today” (LP – “Christmas”) (Tugboat)
