Sufjan Stevens' Songs for Christmas

Mostly favorites, some originals, lots of tiny silly ditty-style tracks, but I bought the CD set and for $20 got 42 tracks, 10 of which made it worthwhile. As one who loves hymns as much as any music, this may be the best disc ever.

The Kleptones - Live'r Than You'll Ever Be

Live mash-up set. Free to download.  http://www.kleptones.com/pages/downloads_b07.html

Feist - The Reminder

There are a couple of songs in 3 in here too.  (The Park, The Water.)

Ali Farka Touré - Talking Timbuktu

one of my stand-by's lately. "Ai Du" is the geo-quiz song on NPR's The World.
