(THE SECOND OF THREE SPECIAL CHRISTMAS EPISODES!) First up, the band
Corporal Blossom did their combination of many different white christmases into one glorious rendition of "White Christmas" which can be found on their Christmas album
Mutated Christmas (
Amazon) and on the
Stay Free Magazine cd compilation
Illegal Art. Then we heard
Stevie Wonder himself with his classic "What Christmas Means to Me" from
A Motown Christmas (
Amazon,
iTunes) and probably on some other album I don't have. Next we heard Dallas' own
Dave Little with his novelty song "Dysfunctional Family Christmas" from his album
Another Leggy Super Model. (His website was up until, literally, like a week ago. I don't know how you can get a copy of it now. Maybe he'll pay network solutions and it'll come back up).
Then
The Brian Setzer Orchestra covered the
Les Brown & his Band of Renown version of "The Nutcracker Suite" from their
Boogie Woogie Christmas (
Amazon,
iTunes). And lastly, topping off the show with a classic that's worth tacking on to the end,
The Pogues (with special guest
Kirsty MacColl) did "Fairytale of New York" from their album
If I Should Fall From Grace with God (
Amazon), and their greatest hits record (
Amazon) which is good good good.
