Festive Frivolities - part III

Alternative Track of the Day: Joni Mitchell, River

Not exactly cheery music, but sometimes appropriate for a time of a year when there are so many expectations that can't always be met. Mitchell's album Blue is an absolute classic, but River definitely has something special about it.


Traditional Track of the Day: John & Yoko, Happy Xmas (War is Over)

Perhaps traditional is the wrong word when talking about this track - nevertheless, Happy Xmas is a much-loved fixture in my house at Christmas, I grew up with it at Christmas. It's pretty much perfect in my mind - a commercial-free Christmas, capturing all the good things about Christmas, and none of the bad.
