Save Christmas Music.

My 3 years of researching, finding, discovering, and adding fresh, unheard christmas songs has finally materialized into an epic 30 song playlist that is deserving of your attention. And heck why not? It's free. I understand that this might be scary for some to venture out of your normal josh grobanesque christmas festivities, and into a christmas music exploration that doesn't demand the attention of a local radio station, but scary is good. Scary reminds you that you're alive. I'll post the entire playlist below. Just ask for a copy.

The Songs That Belong To September.

"Without music, life would be a mistake."

-Friedrich Nietzsche

I thought I'd share with you a few of my current favorites.

In the next day or so I'll re-edit this post with a comment on each track why/how this track inspires me.

Even the smallest germs of ideas that I receive are initiated and carried out by the music i listen to.
