My top three favorite Christmas songs:
1. The Christmas Song
Quite possibly the best description of Christmas spirit. Always best if sung by Nat King Cole.
2. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
One of the songs playing at every department store during the Christmas season.
3. Baby It's Cold Outside
Though the lyrics are a bit (okay, mega) creepy, it's a great duet. And it always reminds me of Elf.

Brothers McCann
Brothers McCann released their first album on iTunes. The album is soulful with groove and pop undertones. Simply stated: It makes you want to get up and dance.
Brothers McCann is a five person band, of which two are brothers (Pat and Mike). I've stayed updated on their musical journey through Facebook and, since I've been away at college and away in Thailand, I can't wait to get home and catch a live show. Check out a track for yourself through...
1. Their website: http://www.brothersmccann.com/
2. iTunes
3. YouTube
Or just listen to the track I selected below.
Word up to Franklin, Mass!
And if you're a Ray LaMontagne fan at all, here's a nice cover of "Shelter"...

The Song and The Album
Music: The gift that keeps on giving...
Okay, that saying can be true for so many things. But today we're going to assume it was made for music.
I've felt so out of the loop on music for the last several months- that is, until my Dad came to visit and gave me all of the new music he's purchased since I've been in Thailand. Magical, I tell you.
Of many album options, I gave my first listen to my oldest and most loved band: Wilco. As Wilco has matured in their musical creativity, they've moved away from the gritty, southern-pop (Being There, A.M.) and towards refined, well-produced studio albums (A Ghost Is Born, Sky Blue Sky). Growing old with a band is enjoyable, being able to hear all the directions their music has gone. But sometimes, I just love the "original material." And that is exactly why I love the track Wilco (The Song) from Wilco (The Album). It's comical, up-beat and, if the name doesn't say it all, Wilco.
Enjoy the camel!
