So on Tuesday (December 8th) from 2:30-4pm the Cellar Door Christmas Special 2009 was broadcast on Fresh Air. It was also the last show of 2009 so it seemed fitting to include songs from my 10 favourite albums of the year. And guess what? This is one list where Animal Collective are nowhere to be seen! The show also included a few decent Christmas songs from the likes of The Flaming Lips, HUNKS and The Pogues, 3 tracks available for absolutely free in 3-4-FREE and the first radio play of Selfish and Unreasonable by Life and Times Of... So anyways, here is the playlist from the show -
