Around Christmas time I get heartily sick of the cheesy christmas songs that are around, and the carols are usually done really badly, so it was with trepidation I followed Boing Boing’s link to Tijuana Christmas MP3s from hell. However they’re not half bad (although amazingly chhesy, in a good way) and put me in mind of another set of Christmas carols I found the other day. I was listening to the Christmas classics channel on Moontaxi, when I heard one of the tracks from Oy to the World These are mostly christmas carols, arranged in “klezmer” style (which I’d never heard of, but instantly recognised.) I’m certainly going to be gettina copy of this! There are some beautiful arrangements among the ones obviously meant more for fun.
