I’m a Christmas music junkie, so this tip from Lifehacker has given me much joy this morning. Go to Pandora, the free music-discovery site, and type in the name of an artist like this: “Frank Sinatra (holiday)“. Pandora will create a personal radio station for you with all of the Chairman’s greatest Christmas hits along with others that sound like him (i.e. Bing, Dean, Nat, and… Regis Philbin? OK, if you say so.)
Here are some other Christmas stations to try:
Indie Christmas: Sufjan Stevens (holiday)
Jazz piano: Vince Guaraldi (holiday)
Flamenco guitar: Ottmar Liebert (holiday)
Island style: Makaha Sons (holiday)
Punk rock: Joey Ramone (holiday)
Chick music: Sarah McLachlan (holiday)
