Since next Friday is Christmas Eve and most of you will likely be signing off your computers before then, we figured we’d give you your present now. So, here is is, a huge mix of the week’s best new singles, remixes, and covers (courtesy of Cover Me), plus a slew of holiday themed gems that’ll add spice to your usual Frank Sinatra-heavy Xmas playlist. Please enjoy, and if you have some extra time over the holidays, please come pay us a visit. Sure, we’ll be less busy than usual, but Consequence of Sound will remain up and running throughout the next two weeks, ready to provide you with all the latest news and festival updates. We’re that crazy.
P.S. One more plug for our Year-End Report.
