It's Bandcamp Friday and I gotta go to the post office, so if anyone wants to buy a copy of my Christmas LP The Darkest Time of Year, now would be a perfect time. Only 25 bucks to own one of only 100 copies in existence. muzach.bandcamp.com/album/the-da... #bandcampfriday #christmasmusic #vinyl

Aside from the fact that this is a total gem of a collection, and the amazing backstory of the source material - which is worth noting on its own - a big *heads up* - Zach is also now on Mixcloud! There are already some archives posted up there along with this one. Press play people... press play.
1/2 My new Christmas mix is out now and it's a really special one. Earlier this year I had the chance to go through the collection of my late friend Mitchell Kezin, director of the Christmas music documentary Jingle Bell Rocks! (2013).

Hampton is back dishing out the cranberry sauce and holiday tunes. Probably the only mix you’ll hear this season with both Fozzy and Shonen Knife. Thanks @hamptonoid.bsky.social!
Mix is up, 90s alternative rock theme. Turned out to be a tough choice, and I'd already used a lot of the top tracks. Anyway here it is.

Isle of Lucy is one of the best Christmas mix makers out there. She just posted a new one - a “best of” pulled from her nearly 20 years of mixes. www.mixcloud.com/isleoflucy/c... You can also find a bunch of those earlier collections on her MixCloud. 🎄🔊 #ChristmasMix #HolidayMix #ChristmasMusic

Coming up on almost 20 years of making official annual mixes, I figured it was finally time to put together an advent-calendar-style “best of” — my top 25 deep-cut Christmas songs for 2025. These gems...

Found a copy of this. Bill Adler flashes this cover momentarily in the Jingle Bell Rocks! documentary. I couldn’t find a sampling of it anywhere online and just took a chance. Solid front to back. Not typical #ChristmasMusic and doesn’t ooze holiday vibes, just a good album with great guitar work.

Ah man... 😢 - all season as I've scoured the digital and physical crates he's been on my mind. We should combine and post a full archive of his mixes - or maybe the Smithsonian Institute should. Happy to help make that happen somehow. Thanks for posting this.
My friend and famous Christmas music collector Mitchell Kezin passed away this year. So some of his friends have compiled a Christmas mix in his honor.
Mitchell directed Jingle Bell Rocks!
