The Nightshift: 4 December 2016

Press Clippings

It’s Sunday, 4  December 2016.
The first weekend of the last month of the year is winding down and will be filled with more classic movies (see our post on where to find the best Christmas shows and movies), football games, and specials. In much of America, the weather is cold or rainy and cold. A good weekend to stay inside, shop online or plan your next week of shopping. Or…just kick back and enjoy the season because it’s only going to get more hectic from this point out….

The Christmas Playlist Series: No. I

The Hunt For New (Christmas)Music:

 
For over a decade, I’ve been putting together a Christmas playlist.
The goal is simple: Introduce friends to new Christmas music they probably haven’t heard, or old Christmas music performed in a new version by a new artist. In the spirit of Christmas, it’s time to share these lists, all of them, starting with the very first playlist. There are now 10 lists in total and they will be posted every few days starting on November 30th and ending approximately on December 16th.
It’s the season for great music–Christmas and otherwise–so spread the spirit of the season by playing and sharing.
