I like the old <I>Drummer Boy</I> EPs they did just as well.<BR/><BR/>It seems strange to see DNotY called "more traditional". I wouldn't really think of e-bow dirges as traditional...but I guess that aren't as many new ones on there.<BR/><BR/>I didn't really like <I>Noel</I> all that much. Starting the City On a Hill series isn't exactly a bright point in my book, although I guess it's a good thing that "Beautiful Scandalous Night" got some exposure from that...<BR/><BR/>The new RK one pretty much just compiles older RK seasonal tracks. It's hard to get excited about it. I guess it's worth your time though if you haven't gotten any of their other holiday releases.<BR/><BR/>It's too bad that Sixpence never got a Christmas disc in...<BR/><BR/>...and you missed two of the best Christmas albums ever, Harry Connick Jr's <I>When My Heart Finds Christmas</I>. and the Vince Guaraldi Trio's <I>A Charlie Brown Christmas</I>. Heh, that Harry Connick album even came out in 1993. Oh, and Jars and Over the Rhine both reference <I>A Charlie Brown Christmas</I> on albums you cited. <BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to 1993. I'm going to guess that you'll mention Smashing Pumpkins, The Cranberries, and Mortal. It's too bad that you don't share my love of <I>Zooropa</I> - that'd probably be my #1 for 1993. I don't have my spreadsheet handy to remember what else came out that year, though...Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868894814276101467noreply@blogger.com
