Well, as they say, its not over until the last band sings. Or in this case, the last several bands. --- Before the year fully wraps itself up music wise we have two late entries into the game. Both holiday Christmas albums! So if you're looking for something a little different that's a straight-up holiday alternative to having KOSY and FM100 shoved up your ass, here's a couple of options. First and foremost, December is probably Velour's month for several reasons. We won't rehash what we've already written about, so we'll focus on this week's addition. Last week they held a two-day holiday show and recorded it all for your listening pleasure. The result after a quick polishing and trimming: Velour Family Holiday Compilation 2010. The album includes: Fictionist, Ryan Innes, Matt Ben Jackson, Eyes Lips Eyes, Kathleen Frewin and more. And on top of that... its free! Absolutely free to download. Just click on this Facebook link here and grab your copy today.

And if that isn't enough for you, how would you like a second album of free music? Released last year about this same time, Northplatte Records put out their own compilation of artists on the label (at the time), and they're giving it away again this year. Glory Glory Glory is a full-length Christmas album with artists like Joshua James, The Vibrant Sound, Desert Noises and more.Click on this download link here to get a Zip file of free Christmas music from local artists.  For all you local lovers, its a Christmas miracle!
