Mittwoch Mix - Wintry Mix Volume 2
Another mix of music that is Wintry but not for the holidays. With switch of daylight savings, the dark chill of the night comes quickly at the end of the day, making this mix of everything from dungeon synth to doom jazz to metal to instrumental tuba perfect listening as the light fades and the cold sinks in. Find Wintry Mix Volume 1 here.

Xmas Sounds Part One... Albums
You might not imagine that I enjoy Christmas music, but I do, though several winter seasons working retail/food service has given me a hearty allergy to the lowest denominator pop-Christmas schlock.
What I do love though, is unexpected and eclectic Christmas music that both subverts and celebrates the season. Here are some albums that will spice up your Yule season...
