  Absolutely amazing. Loads of wonky piano playing and uncertain singing.

Rammstein

"A Neue Deutsche Härte Christmas" - a selection of classic carols, including 'O Holy Night', 'In The Bleak Midwinter', 'Once in Royal David's City' and 'Little Donkey' - tenderly sung by Till and a choir of lesbian nuns to an orchestrated backing of apocalyptic church organ, synth stabs, heavily processed guitar and sex noises.

I would like one by a collective like Erase Tapes artists or something

Like a christmas-themed Dark was the night by ambient/modern omposition artists. A lot of their music is wintery, but not upbeat enough to be festive

- not quite the same thing but Banjo or Freakout did a free d/l Christmas record a few years ago
  
  a lot of it is super fuzzy type stuff where you can just pick out the melody. it's really quite pleasant.

The Walkmen

A bunch of their songs have got a strong winter/Christmas feel to them anyway (the ones with all the horns), I'd love to hear them do some proper Christmas songs.

Elephant 6

That'd be fun.

Elf Power, OTC, Mangum, Spillane, of Montreal etc.

A lot of their stuff is almost there, just needs more Santa.

I really liked Wooden Shjips christmas tape they put up for download

Dunno if it would be good over a whole album...

Has Neil Young ever done an xmas record?

Would enjoy a Prurient/Vatican Shadow christmas record if we're getting twisted.

Ulver, obvs

They did a Christmas song and it went pretty well*, so why not? Plus their recent album was a covers record

*definitely the most fucking terrifying/awesome Xmas song of recent years/ever

sounds like the most middle aged thing ever - and it totally would be - but it would also be great. who could he duet with?
