Sharon Van Etten – "Silent Night" b/w "Blue Christmas"

"Silent Night" was recorded in 2018 for the Holiday Short Film, “The Letter" by Eric Paschal Johnson and received a Vimeo Staff Pick Award. "Blue Christmas" was originally recorded for a benefit album called Do You EAR what I Ear in 2009 for the Association to Benefit Children. Both of these classic covers are now available to stream for the first time.

Bleached – "Jingle Bells"

Bleached reimagines the Christmas classic "Jingle Bells" with a new garage rock twist. Adding tempo, distorted guitars, and spelling out the title through the bridge, they breathe life and energy to the holiday mainstay.

Phoebe Bridgers – "If We Make It Through December"

In keeping with her annual tradition of releasing a charity track for the holidays, Phoebe Bridgers latest song is a cover of Merle Haggard to benefit Downtown Women's Center. Produced by Tony Berg, Ethan Gruska and Phoebe, and accompanied solely by Ethan on piano, the beautiful, melancholy rendition of Haggard’s 1974 track is a fitting end to a volatile year.

shame – "Snow Day"

"Snow Day" is the latest single off the band's forthcoming record Drunk Tank Pink, and is accompanied by a visualizer featuring drone footage shot in the Scottish Borders where the band wrote the album. The song is a standout on the record, and one of the band's most musically ambitious to date.

Porridge Radio – "The Last Time I Saw You (O Christmas)"

Porridge Radio sign off a triumphant 2020 with this fan favorite original Christmas song, only heard at seasonal live shows until now. The release joins the long tradition of songs that mix equal parts angst and Christmas cheer, and has the feel of an old classic. It's a strong example of Dana Margolin’s always superb songwriting, and will make a bold stamp on end of year festive rotations.

Sighs, my December record is "In Transit. - Arriving Late".

It has been 90 minutes away since 4am Friday Morning when it arrived at the regional USPS Facility. No further movement since.

I had five boxes sitting less than 20 minutes away in the next town over for almost a week. The pain is real.

I got a December dispatch email and tracking the other day. I haven’t had November’s though. I mailed them and they said they were holding it back because the Phoebe Bridgers repress had just came in and they were holding it back for that. Great and speedy response.
Decembers was posted on Monday and is on track to arrive here in Scotland this Friday.
Also ordered from Turntable Lab, dispatched from New York on 14th, signed for by me in Scotland 16th.
On the flip side, there’s are heaps of things I have been waiting over four weeks for that have been posted inside the UK.
Total randomness.

My Secretly Society and VMP boxes are both just hanging at the regional center, its been days. THIS IS TORTURE
 
Not to brag or anything but I received my S. Carey (Dec) yesterday and it's quite nice. Very cool color - I don't even remember what the mockup looked like so can't compare it in my head, but it turned out good. Nice pressing and sound. Great little winter album to have on in the background while you de-stress from the holidays and the world ending.
 
My S Carey is still out there somewhere. In a month in has traveled from Ann Arbor to the void to Pittsburgh to Washington DC to Greensboro, NC and has returned to the void as I await it eagerly ALL THE WAY IN CALIFORNIA. I will probably get Shame before last months delivery.

I live in the UK. It shows for me as having left Switzerland of all places 17th December. 2 and a half weeks since then there isn’t any update.

Female Species, Tale Of My Lost Love (Numero Group)
on cherry bomb splash vinyl

A once-in-a-decade discovery of two sisters, married to music for life, always charging forward, indefatigable, indomitable, at last seen and heard. From their origins as the archetypal mid-’60s southern California girl group to their destiny as top-flight songwriters in the ’80s and ’90s Nashville country-industrial complex, Vicki and Ronni Gossett have never been much further than 20 feet from stardom. Fifty-five years into their remarkable story, Tale Of My Lost Love is the Gossetts’ debut album—an ode to what could have been, and still might be.

Mine has been stuck in Pittsburgh for about a week! I'm very much looking forward to it.

Just curious, what do you mean by this version?
