This week, we've got an exclusively holiday-themed playlist (you can read about some of last year's entries here, and listen to the regular playlist here.) I will add to this list as the month progresses because, as a Jew, nothing makes me hit "skip" faster than Christmas music – so I'm keeping an eye out for some Hanukkah songs! Meanwhile, here are a few lovely new releases:

  • Bryan Ruby recovers from heartbreak and does everything possible to land him on the naught list in the smooth-rolling "Christmas Island"
  • Brian Falduto has a blast on his "Christmas Solo" single, which he tells us more about here
  • Ever More Nest fucks up every which way on "Back in the Doghouse on Christmas." You can watch the video, and learn more about her EP, in our article
