I've been obsessed with hunting down every enjoyable Christmas song (and some winter and December-themed ones) I can find on Last.fm, and as a result, Spiked Candy Canes Radio is now more than three times the size it was last year!
Click here to play it in a pop-up window, or here to play it in your last.fm player (get the player here).
What has gone into the Spiked Candy Canes mix? Generous handfuls each of twee pop, Phil Spector, A Charlie Brown Christmas, 60s pop, crooners, soul, Japanese ukulele girls and Doris Day; a dash of jazz and a splash of glam rock; a sprinkling of country, and a, uh, tiny pinch of Tiny Tim. Sneak a peek at the track list here.
Stay tuned... more Christmas posts still to come!

- Use the players embedded on this blog rather than listening on 8tracks.com (where the tracks are replaced with Youtube matches, which are often missing, inferior quality or wrong). Embedded players don't seem to be affected for now.
