Merry merry, all! Here’s a playlist of some Christmas favourites, for the one day a year it’s appropriate.

open.spotify.com/album/6JuetegM… Probably the best one:

Utangátta - @SHELFNUNNY (on @HushHushRecords)
hushhushrecords.bandcamp.com/album/utang-tta
Named for an Icelandic term for hopeless dreams, the gentle, ambient-influenced beats of Utangátta manage a sort of musical Rorschach effect, comforting, melancholy or hopeful, depending on your view.
83/100 Marble Falls - Shmu (on @macadamtwister)
requiempouruntwister.bandcamp.com/album/pure-bli…
Nimble dream pop from one-man-band Sam Chown. The album borders on prog at times, but Vinyl Williams' production gives it a softer sheen, a glimmering gem of jangling guitars and gently flanged bass.
84/100

I think this is about where I'll end up for my year-end playlist. 100 songs from 100 artists, all released in 2020, all of which resonated in one way or another. AM Gold 2020

open.spotify.com/playlist/4cE0n… Next goal will be writing/saying something about them instead of just listing them.
Plus including the ones that aren't available on Spotify, because it's leaving out some absolute marvels. But, time and all that.

Choose Yer Own fest was one of my favourite #yycarts events ever. A hand-made festival where any event goes. Cardboard robot fight? Breakfast with your grandma? Full re-enactment of the movie Labyrinth? You want it, you make it happen.
chooseyerown.wordpress.com Speaking of magical Calgary events, @wreckcityYYC. The first Wreck City was one of the most amazing #yycarts events I've seen. It was packed with families, folks who I never see at installations, exploring this ode to soon-to-be-gone homes. Gentrification, growth & creativity.

This week is @FemmeWave, a fest that, on top of just booking amazing art & music, is also thoughtful and progressive about every aspect of it's organization in a way that puts most North American festivals to shame. (1/x) This week is also TONTO Week at the @nmc_canada, celebrating one of the most amazing instruments ever built. If it was happening in NYC or London and I read about it, I'd be pulling out my hair in frustration that I couldn't be there.
