Christmas eve.

Alright, time for my top five desert island picks for Christmas jams:
1. Merry Christmas from the family- Robert Earl Keen
2. Whats so funny about ( peace love and understanding)- Elvis Costello
3. Lets get it on- Marvin Gaye
4. Well may the world go- Pete Seeger
6. Christmas in Hollywood- The Hollywood Undead ( I know its an odd choice for this list, but come on, its catchy!)

Alright, well there you have it my friends, and please, if anyone actually reads this blog, send me your top five lists of any genre of music, movies or art, and I'll do my best to post as many as I can!
Merry almost Christmas, and Happy not quite New Year!

Update:
So, I've been listening to some kind of newish Christmas music all day and I thought I would take some time to extol the virtues of Tex-Mex music. When listening to obvious classics like Feliz Navidad, its not hard to see why Spanish is such an excellent medium for Christmas music, but what about Freddy fender's ninety six tears? Hispanic artists bring something special to this genre, maybe because of their strong Catholic faith, or maybe it's just inherent in Hispanic cuture, whatever it is, one thing is for sure: Spanish and Christmas go together like enchiladas and huevos rancheros.
