That’ll be us done for the year then. There is booze to be drunk, presents to be given, friends to be seen and turkey to be eaten. No time for waffling on about music for a while.
We’ll be back on the 28th December, at around 4pm GMT, for The electronic rumors Awards 2012, time to start getting excited right now! The very best music of the year, all in one place. It’s bound to be a star-studded affair, and remember to keep it locked to our Google+ page for pre-awards warm-up nonsense.
So, we hope you all have an awesome X-Mas, full of good friends, good times and a good deal of consumption and maybe some good tunes too.
On Christmas Day is La SynthPop outfit Father Tiger’s contribution to the X-Mas cheer. It’s a wonderfully upbeat slice of electronic melancholy, which all the best X-mas tunes are.
There’s a nice video too which, for a free single, looks a hell of a lot better than some videos from major artists.
You can download Father Tiger’s On Christmas Dayfor free here.
This’ll probably be the last post on electronic rumors before the new year, between now and then we’ll be working hard on our ‘best of 2009’ post.
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our readers, especially those who stuck with us during our down time, to thank all those of you who email us to let us know what you like and don’t like, to thank all our regulars for helping to make us one of the biggest ElectroPop/Electro-House/Indie-Electro/SynthPop oriented blogs on the internet today and especially to thank all the bands without who we wouldn’t have anything to obsess over!
We hope you all have the greatest X-Mas ever!
As a gift to you we’ve put together 20 of the best electronic X-Mas songs, there’s some stuff we had to leave out but these are some of our favs.
So enjoy the music, eat, drink and be merry and we’ll see you in a week or so.
And after all that, some videos. First up Run DMC bustin’ out with ‘Christmas In Hollis’:
Here’s an X-Mas message from Depeche Mode’s Martin L. Gore:
And a couple of X-Mas funtimes covers from Little Boots:
