About the Xmas Songs Playlists SeriesBeginning earlier this week, IRC launched "The 12 Plays of Alternative-Indie Christmas Songs" series to create one place in the blogosphere, and the larger web community, where anyone can sample indie, alternative, rock, pop and other genre-oriented Christmas songs.
By Christmas day, IRC will post 12 playlists containing ten or more alternative, indie, rock and pop songs from some of the best known mainstream artists, but many more from alternative and indie artists. Many of these artists are very under-rated, which is why I started this blog.
After a long and arduous search for the best original and cover Xmas and holiday songs, featuring popular and less-known musicians and groups around the world, there are many alternative Xmas tunes out there on the web.
However, it literally take days or weeks, even for an experienced Internet researcher, to track down a good collection of alternative Christmas songs that are easily accessible, correctly titled, featured in full-length and playable on any web page.
The main purpose of all of this is to share the results of this collection of Christmas song playlist mixes with everyone, everywhere. You can help by pushing one of the bookmark icons below, adding this to your favorites and sending the link to your friends and family.
There will also be a collection of Christmas music videos (like this Christmas video from Pedro The Lion), funny Christmas pictures and an index of links to other websites and blogs featuring mostly alternative and indie Christmas MP3s, playlists and mixes.
MP3s, music videos, album cover work, band photos and all other related multimedia is for evaluation only and intended to promote and help support the artists featured here. Please do your part by purchasing music, visiting websites, telling friends and attending concerts and festivals to support your favorite musicians and groups.
