Buy Now	Microcastle (more) »rank: 567 by: Deerhunter :Album Description:Here it is, the highly anticipated follow-up to 2007's Cryptograms album which launched the band into the stratosphere of hype. Whether or not that was or is deserved is entirely subjective. Microcastle was recorded over the course of a week at Rare Book Studios in Brooklyn, New York with Nicolas Verhes in April of this year. The album was recorded as a four-piece consisting of Bradford Cox, Lockett Pundt, Joshua Fauver, and Moses Archuleta. 'Saved by Old Times' features a vocal collage by Cole Alexander of the Black Lips, and the album also features two songs with lead vocals by guitarist Lockett ...	Buy Now	Time-Life Music: Treasury of Christmas - Holiday Memories (more) »rank: 369 by: Various Artists : :Even though it includes some of the same songs, this isn't the Time-Life Christmas collection advertised annually on TV. It's actually a budget version of that anthology, and not a bad deal at all. Some may argue it's missing the two Elvis Presley tracks found on the three-CD TV version. Others will contend that any self-respecting Christmas music aficionado probably already owns (or should own) Elvis's wonderful '57 Christmas Album. What's attractive about this one is it gathers a lot of classic singular performances in one place--a tad too much Bing Crosby, perhaps, but also the original hit versions of 'Jingle Bell Rock,' ...
Buy Now	Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas [Remastered] (more) »rank: 308 by: Ella Fitzgerald : :It'd be hard to imagine a happier wish than the one this jazz vocal legend offers her listeners on this urbane-yet-homey collection of holiday favorites. The First Lady of Song recorded these tunes in 1960, at the peak of her interpretive powers. As such, she puts her singular stamp on everything from a sultry vamp like 'What Are You Doing New Year's Eve' to the sweet and cozy 'The Christmas Song.' Even potentially shopworn standards like 'Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town' sound fresher when they're coming from Ella Fitzgerald. --David Sprague	Buy Now	Christmas Portrait (more) »rank: 262 by: The Carpenters : :Hipper now than they ever were in their day, Karen and Richard Carpenter achieved a rare feat: They saw one of their songs become a holiday classic. 'Merry Christmas, Darling' sold like mad in the late 1970s and cemented the identity of the song with the band. In the wake of Karen's death, the lyrics became even more poignant, but isn't a good tug on the heartstrings what a lot of holiday songs are all about? The Carpenters' tender cover of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' is equally touching, their lush vocals layered like warm blankets on a cold December night. Though ...

Christmas Together is a delightful--what else?--sing-along collection of Christmas favorites as performed by Denver and the Muppets ensemble.
