Better Watch Out

A new Christmas blog is up & running, that's always good news. Better Watch Out is a tumblr blog that appreciates themes (yay!), old stuff and background stories on Christmas music. Jim (no, not this Jim) isn't on the lookout for all the newest stuff, but digs up known faves and songs that should be heard more.

Like this one, from a compilation released in 1995 that I had not heard of. Quality of that comp is a little mixed (coughs), but this track by Stephanie Sayers is just lovely. If you're, like me, into 90s quiet-loud guitar bands like Belly, Throwing Muses, Fuzzy, etc.. Oh, and that's a typo in the title.

Taking the opportunity to shout out to the fellowship of Christmas music blogs still going strong, the almighty Christmas Underground, the ol' Hip Christmas and Mistletunes, The Bells, THE BELLS, this Festive Friend, and this Festive Friend, Mr Novelty, Mr Merry and...well, check out the link list on the right for more.
