First sunday in advent is coming near, so I thought it was time to do my yearly "Christmas"-Playlist in iTunes. That's why I thought about my favourite christmas and winter music, which I want to share now.

The Classics

Mariah Carey - Merry Christmas:
One of the best christmas albums ever recorded, including many classics as well as famous "All I Want For Christmas Is You". Most other records by female singers like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and so on have nothing on it. If you want to take a listen, don't confuse it with Mariah's second holiday record Merry Christmas II You - that one's pretty bad.

The Supremes - Merry Christmas:
Very catchy and festive at the same time. Everyone who loves the Supremes will love this record.


The EPs

A Fine Frenzy - Oh Blue Christmas:
Mixing the style of A Fine Frenzy with the christmas spirit just works out very well. This record is outstanding because it doesn't have the classcis on it one hears over and over every year but new, self-written songs.
…

Da ich es "hasse" in der Musik zu eingeschränkt zu sein, vergeht keine Woche in der ich neue Künstler kennenlerne und in meiner offiziellen Last.fm Statistik "sehnte" ich mich nach der Nummer 3.000 bei den Interpreten.

Beinahe hätte ich dieses Ereignis verpasst, eher zufällig wollte ich wissen wieviele Interpreten aktuell meine Musiksammlung umfasst und siehe da Alice Smith wurde Dank des Titels Dream zu meiner Nummer 3.000, die ich über das "Adele Radio" (Adele) kennenlernte und gerade läuft Interpret 3.001

Die Richtung "Adele Radio" ist eine sehr schöne, mal was Anderes zu Pop, Disco oder Rock.

Bayou16's Hypelist of this week brought me to listen to R&B/Soul music and finally to create a mixtape. Due to the help of my lovely friends Bayou16 and JulianeJuly a wide choice of artists/songs of this genre has been compiled, 3 hours in total, starting with the classics of my youth up to the shining new stars of today.
