God Rest Ye Merry (Instrumental) – Copperhead

As if you didn’t see this coming, we’ve got a theme week! Starting off this holiday extravaganza is a bad ass rock instrumental of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” by Copperhead. If you liked the Trans Siberia Orchestra’s version of “Carol of Bells”, you’ll like this.

The secondary theme for this week is that all of the music will be coming from CCMixter.org. Like this track.

Dvorak’s 8 Humoresques, Op. 101, B. 187 – OnClassical

You may not have known the name, but you’ve heard this song before. If you’re a fan of Animaniacs, it was the theme song of Slappy the Squirrel. This version was released as part of a large compilation of piano favorites by OnClassical. An independent Italian label, OnClassical is known for its long history with the Creative Commons and the high quality of its classical library.

You can download this song and the rest of the Piano Favorites on Jamendo.

Flock of Birds – Alexandria

I was starting to feel bad due to the underrepresentation of metal on SotC, but then I ran into this song and I KNEW WHAT I MUST DO. Enter Russian melodic metal group Alexandria and their track “Flock of Birds”. I’m totally digging this song. You can grab it on Jamendo.

Comets[1]

Cupid Kills – Falling Blind

Today’s track is by Seattle band Falling Blind’s  2010 album “Comets”. Reminds me of the kind of pop rock hits of the mid 2000’s. You can download the whole album on Jamendo.com.
