I fixed the link to the Mark Kozelek version of “White Christmas.” Click here to download.

Quick question for all the readers out there. Does anyone use the Daily MP3 Player link on the sidebar? Clicking it will stream the daily MP3’s. Vote “yay” or “nay” in the comments section. If no one uses it, I’m gonna get rid of it. Seems to me that most people just want to download the files. Oh well…

So two late additions to what will become my best of 2005 list are Architecture In Helsinki and Broken Social Scene. Both bands do a lot of genre hopping. Both play variants of indie-pop. Both have new-ish records out that are pretty f’ing fantastic. Since this is just a quick post you can read Cokemachineglow’s review of each here and here. Or Pitchfork’s reviews here and here. Much much more tomorrow kids (goodies that is).
