Is there a good place to share modern Xmas songs across the Fediverse? (I'll lead off with a couple...)

Bethan - In the Bleak Midwinter: (lullaby; wait for the moody strings)

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, featuring Obama - Silent Night:

Pearl Jam - Someday at Christmas:

EDIT: Is there also a place for classic folk songs across the FV..?
Me, I've found three absolute corkers, all tackling the song "500 Miles." I find each version remarkably unique and moving in their own ways, but I'd rather unleash them upon the most-appropriate community, if that makes sense...

EDIT2: If you really insist upon a small sample of such, then let's go with Joan Baez:

My top ten:

  1. 100 gecs β€” "Sympathy for the Grinch"

  2. Andrea Perry β€” "Fat Aunt Bette"

  3. The Primatives β€” "You Trashed My Christmas"

  4. The Barbary Coasters β€” "I've Been Naughty (and Nice)"

  5. Fountains of Wayne β€” "The Man in the Santa Suit"

  6. The Killers β€” "Cowboys' Christmas Ball" (cover)

  7. The Kinks β€” "Father Christmas"

  8. Thomas Heinl β€” "Christmas Tree on Fire"

  9. Emmy the Great β€” "Christmas Day (and I Wish I Was Surfing)"

  10. The Reverend Horton Heat β€” "Santa Bring My Baby Back"

I'll try to loop back through and add non-spotify links as I can.

Whoa! That list looks interesting, maybe with some Dr. Demento vibes..?

I'll be wading in to it! :D
Thank you, NEMO, thank you...

Here's my whole Christmas playlist on spotify. Some folk, some oldies, some covers, some weird stuff, some new stuff. It's been both expanded and winnowed every Advent for the last five years.

I can make a more Demento-like list, too, but these are ones I genuinely just like.

Hahaha... I love that DEVO song, plus the video!
Thank you for that.

At the same, I also love Weird Al. And yet, that was one of the truly WORST songs I've ever heard of his, oh dear... XD

Holy hell, that was both hilarious and awesome!

Also, that caused me to remember that one Eddie Vedder tune. (now added to the list, above)

August Burns Red - Carol of the Bells

Honestly most of that album β€œSleddin’ Hill” shreds pretty hard 🀘

Can you make it a playlist and add all suggested songs? Would love to hear through them

It's not new necessarily, but Father Christmas by the Kinks is criminally underplayed

I think I answered the wrong question πŸ˜…

But you can post to wavlake.com or fountain.fmΒ and monetize too if they're original compositions.

Uncle John by Jonathan Colton

"Your uncle's late again, last minute Christmas shopping at the airport, a dozen ringer tees he bought at Eddie Rickenbacker's bar–ladies extra extra large" is such a mood

Anything recently published by "There I ruined it" (the full songs are locked on his Patreon but well worth it for darker themes.

Same with "Almost Vinyl" (The only good reason for AI edited songs):
