Oh! Canada presents: Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada

Posted on 18 December 2009 by Ro Cemm

hohohocanadacover
By now the dust should have just about settled on the TLOBF Christmas party, and no doubt many of you reading this will have a whole plethora of events coming up in the next few days. Add this to the “seasonal” weather (read: it’s bloomin’ cold) and it all it begins to seem a lot like…..well, you know, that time of year.
Oh! Canada has been working with a whole host of Canadian acts to bring you 25 (see what we did there?) tracks to celebrate the winter and the upcoming festive season. The Wilderness of Manitoba found the time to slip into the studio and record their take on “Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel” exclusively for us. Jason Zumpano evokes the spirit of Vince Guaraldi with his solo piano piece, while The Acorn, Jason Collett, Cinderpop, Zumpano (the band, not the solo artist) and The Pointed Sticks bring the power pop to the party. Ohbijou and Paper Moon take on some seasonal classics, Evening Hymns sing in Norwegian and elsewhere there is plenty of winter wistfulness to chill the bones and warm the coldest of hearts! And so without further a do we bring you: Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada.

The Canadian Wildlife track is featured on Friends in Bellwoods II, which you can buy here. Proceeds go to Toronto’s Daily Bread Food Bank.
Elsewhere, proceeds from The New Pornographer’s “The Spirit Of Giving EP” (which features one of Oh! Canada’s all time Christmas faves “Joseph, Who Understood”) go to the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation and the money raised by Fucked Up’s all star take on “Do They Know It’s Christmas” will go to a number of charities supporting Aboriginal Women.
And with that Oh! Canada wishes you all a very happy Christmas. Join us between Christmas and New Year when we will be reviewing the years best Canadian releases with help from the likes of Gentleman Reg, Spiral Beach, The Hidden Cameras, Jason Collett, Dan Mangan, Ohbijou and more…

Getting indie Christmas spirit: 10 best new holiday tracks of 2009
Posted: December 22, 2009, 5:18 PM by Brad Frenette
, ,
 
No one can say that indie rockers aren't feeling the holiday mood this year. To help provide relief from one too many listens of Jingle Bell Rock, here are some of the best indie Christmas songs to have hit my inbox this year:

10. Silence Your Drum, Heavy Blinkers (featuring Jenn Grant): Here, the Blinkers conscript Jenn Grant to sing this alternative look at the classic song, The Little Drummer Boy. This version is told from the perspective of Joseph and Mary, who'd rather hear some lute rather than the barum-pah-pum-pum. Watch the video here.
9. Baby, It’s Cold Outside, Allo Darlin’: Allo Darlin’ is the recording name of London-based (via Queensland) singer/songwriter Elizabeth Morris. Here’ she takes the holiday standard, and stripes clear the male vocal parts, casting it as a one-sided (beautifully sung) conversation.  Get it on the 2009 Indiecater Christmas compilation.
8. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), Slow Club: The fine British duo Slow Club layer their sound over this Motown classic carol.  Download it for free here.

7. Last Christmas, Ohbijou: Here, the Toronto indie folksters de-shmaltz the mega-played Christmas tune by Wham!, complete with glockenspiel and a wink. -- Download it via their site.

6. Kiss Me On Christmas, The Canon Logic: This Philly band released their original Christmas song via Twitter last month. Pulling on their Brian Wilson-esque sun-pop, this tune will have you kicking your heels in the snow and running for the slopes for some snow surfing. Download it via their site.

5. Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel, The Wilderness of Manitoba: Like a choir of space age carollers knocking down your door, this Toronto outfit put their harmonizing to good use on this Christmas mainstay. Download it, and a few of these other songs, via the fantastic compilation Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada, via The Line of Best Fit.

4. The Christmas Song, Owl City: If there’s one song on this list with a chance of giving Bing Crosby a run, it's this one, which could easily ring loudly from parking lots and megamalls in the days leading up to future Christmases. Listen to it here.

3. I Wish It Was Christmas Today, Julian Casablancas: Who knew the lead singer of The Strokes was such a fan of Christmas? So much so, in fact, that he covered this song,and made it a bonus track on his debut album, Phrazes For The Young. Listen to it here.

2. The Ballad of Jack Pine, T Nile: A winter narrative and scales to make you shiver even with the heat cranked, this track by Vancouver folk star Tamara Nile is a must-hear. Check it out here.

1. Sonjas Sang Til Julestjernen, Evening Hymns: Here, Jonas Bonnetta covers a song from one of Norway's most beloved Christmas movies, Reisen til Julestjernen (The Journey to the Christmas Star), in Norweigan. Creaky, eerie, and beautiful.  Again, get it via the free download of Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada.
BONUS TRACKS:  A Peanuts Christmas, in which Zunior.com enlisted several Canadian indie acts to pay tribute to the beloved Vince Guaraldi Trio soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas. Check it out here.
