Songs for the Pagan Holiday by the Raveonettes

   

  Last night as the TV played in the background, it grabbed my attention as I heard MSNBC's Brian Williams refer to a situation as Mostly but not Always. My legal team is looking into whether that constitutes a trademark infringement.  Anyway, as Mr Williams wrapped up his last show before Christmas, he asked his audience to honor his staff by watching the closing credits as a holiday tribute to his dedicated team behind the scenes.

  As the names rolled a catchy song played...............

...The Christmas Song

Further research revealed several more Christmas songs by Denmark's greatest Everly Brothers tribute band that only ever covered one of the brothers' songs.

  Gord Downie 1964-2017

This afternoon while driving around town, The Verge Channel 173 on XM satellite radio was playing a full concert by the Tragically Hip.  Tonight as I drove to work I was momentarily pleased that yet another Hip song was airing on the aforementioned station. After a few seconds I realized that it was a memorial to the band's front man Gord Downie who two years ago was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. He passed away late Tuesday at the age of 53.

  I don't know how many times this next song has been stuck in my head while doing my rounds on midnight shift.

  This last song is probably the first Tragically Hip song that I heard on 89X back it the day.
