It may seem like a curse, but surely it’s more of a blessing that we’re not being collectively subjected to the same ten Christmas songs blasting from club and pub PAs on loop this year. In fact, if you ask us, the continuing shiteshow that is 2020 is yet more reason to take musical roads less travelled. For our part, we’re pleased to present our Alternative Christmas Playlist, featuring Yo La Tengo, Big Star and Mazzy Star to The Fall, Galaxie 500 and Deerhoof.
