Music Video of the Day: Sleigh Ride by Lindsey Stirling (2023, dir by Stephen Mallett)


It’s the holiday season, which means that it’s time for some holiday music from the amazing Lindsey Stirling.  There’s a lot of pure joy to be found in this video.

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: Theme de Camille by Georges Delerue


Today’s song of the day come from the Georges Delerue-composed score of Jean-Luc Godard’s 1963 film, Le Mepris.  If this song sounds familiar but you haven’t seen Le Mepris, you may have heard it in Martin Scorsese’s Casino.

Music Video of the Day: Jingle Bell Rock by Daryl Hall & John Oates (1983, dir by Mick Haggerty and C.D. Taylor)


I like this video because no one is taking anything that seriously.  This is the way that every Christmas should be celebrated.

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: Let It Snow! Let It Snow! by Dean Martin


My friends, it is 29 degrees this morning in Dallas!  My fingers are freezing just trying to type this.  So, as I jump back under the covers and try to stop shivering, let’s turn things over to the great Dean Martin with today’s song of the day!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we’ve no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

It doesn’t show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow.

When we finally kiss good night,
How I’ll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I’ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we’re still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

When we finally kiss good night,
How I’ll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I’ll be warm.

Oh, the fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we’re still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Song of the Day: Crown On The Ground (performed by Sleigh Bells)


I could offer up a lot of reasons why Sleigh Bells’ Crown On The Ground is today’s song of the day.

I could say that it’s because the start of the Holiday Season is upon us and what better time to feature a song performed by Sleigh Bells.

But, ultimately, the main and most important reason is that I just happen to like the song.
