Happy Indie Christmas--A Bandcamp Selection

I went holiday song fishing at bandcamp, and here is my Christmas catch.


By Half-handed Cloud--the label is Sounds Familyre.






Legit worship music.

Sufjan busts some moves on Late Night--makes me giggle.

In case you missed it, Sufjan Stevens was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this last Friday.  He performed "Too Much" off "Age of Adz" with some fanciful garb, a ridiculous entourage, and silly yet groovy dance moves.



You crazy Suff Stuff.
Here is a free download of "I Walked" off of the same album.
