christmas – the flying squirrel

Christmas Mixtape 2024

It’s that time again! Grab a cup of cocoa, relax and enjoy some festive music to keep you warm on a cold winter night. And strap in, chummer. Maybe we’ll even jack into puterspace between the sleighbells and carol sings. Those flashing lights on rackmounted servers are just as festive as those on snow-covered trees.

Christmas Mixtape 2023

Here we are, in the bleak midwinter. What better time than now to put on some fun music while we crank up the IR heater to take the chill off.

The Christmas Mixtape is back for its seventh incarnation. It’s up on Youtube Music and on Mixcloud. And Mixcloud gives me a handy little widget so you don’t even have to leave the page to listen:

I’m also going to dump Youtube music videos of the songs where I can find them. They’re not necessarily the same version, but given that I’ve listened to these dozens of times already, it’s kinda cool to see visual interpretations…

Quarantine Diary, Day 632: Christmas Mixtape 2021

Another pandemic Christmas and my fifth annual Christmas mixtape!

Or a Youtube Music playlist if that works better for you… Note the first track is missing since it doesn’t appear to exist on the Internet anymore.

We went a little jazzy this year. A little mellow. It’s been an eventful year, but right now I’m happy to stay home and make some cocoa and listen to some music. Liner notes after the jump.

Merry Christmas!

From all of us, to all of you.

Merry Christmas! :D
