Sufjan Stevens - Hey Guys! It’s Christmas Time!
(Track 1 / IMSvsIMS’ Festive Five / 2009)

Having had a blast doing this last year, I thought I would do it again this year. That’s right, it’s time for my 2009 Festive Five!

If you weren’t following me this time last year you’re probably thinking, “what the hell is this guy talking about?” Well, simply put, from now until Christmas Day, for five days total, I will post a Holiday track that I enjoy with the hope that all of you guys will too. Together, the five tracks I’m going to post make a pretty sweet EP if I do say so myself.

It should be noted, as you can see from today’s track, I’m not a huge fan of how “traditional” Christmas music sounds. (Hell, I’m not even a huge fan of Christmas in general, but that’s another story…) While I do enjoy a few of the classics, I am more likely to find holiday comfort in a newly created song or a reimagined version of an old one.

By the way, if you like any of the tracks I post over the next five days, email me and I’ll share a copy of it with you. (I would honestly love to give you something since you have all made this past year one I will not soon forget, so a track or five is the least I can do.)

Alright, alright… enough rambling. Enjoy’self!
