Are you depressed because your "Official Holiday Station" pulled the plug on the music you so much crave? Are you wondering why it all has to come to an screecing hault after only two months of constant tinsel tunes? Are you tired of the naysayers that berate the fact that Christmas radio starts too early each year? Well, cheer up Bunky; We've got the medicine that'll cure your Yuletune Blues in the space of a download! The purpose of this thread is to gather as many sources of Yule Audio as possible. Hopefully there will be enough material for at least one site per week until Christmas rolls around again! Hence the name, "Week Link". Merry Christmas Radio, an affiliate of the MMC Network, seeks to be the clearinghouse for internet stations offering Christmas content all year. Check it out at www.live365.com/stations/elfedzachary & www.merrychristmasradio.com/ If you know of a station that needs to be added, please let us know there! Merry Christmas Radio and the other internet stations listed are a perfect source for background music in your home. Maybe you even have an internet radio hooked through your stereo system so you can tune in while going about your daily activity! What better way to keep the Christmas Spirit all year round in your home? Here, however, we will concentrate on places where one can visit to download Chirstmas audio content to take on the road! Whether you download into an MP3 player or to a hard drive to burn CDs, this thread will berak the tether to your home computer. As is the nature of the internet, many of these links will "break" overtime and vanish, often without warning. Likewise, some will be offered for a limited time. That's why you should download and save as soon as the sources are shared. Your technical questions on how to save and download, etc. are welcomed as well. The biggest thing you need to know is "right click and save as." So, boys and girls, clear some hard drive/MP3 space, create a folder(s) and get ready to share what you find! From a full podcast to a site offering a single download, post it! And you don't have to wait for the first of the week as the thread name implies! Share 'em as you find 'em! For an idea of what to expect, head over to - mymerrychristmas.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3758 Many of those will find their way here over the next few months!

A word about copyrights before we officially get started.
The podcasters/broadcasters/webmasters of these linked sites have (hopefully) complied with copyright laws as they apply to music. Some hold higher standards than others and MMC can not vouch for the content of any link. If you should learn of copyright infringement on any site shared in this thread, please contact me or any of the staff.

Once again, the primary focus here is to link to unique out of print music sharing sites or broadcast “air checks”. Should you desire to track down a particular tune or CD to add to your collection, contact us. We will help you find what you are looking for so that you may legitimately purchase it. This method ensures that you will get the best sound quality available and will have supported the artist that created the work, a win-win situation!

Here are three limited time offers to visit right away! My friend Rob, a.k.a. Captain OT, keeps a Yuleblog all year. His generosity in sharing out of print Christmas vinyl knows no equal. I'll let you read his blog for more as to why, but all of his download links will expire on January 2, 2008 There is a ton of stuff here so grab it now! - christmasyuleblog.blogspot.com/ FaLaLaLaLa.com is always active during the season and for Christmas in July. Members, such as the afore mentioned Captain OT, rip and share vinyl by the crate full! The cornerstone of all this is the annual ADVENTure in Carols share by site host, Brad, a.k.a. The King of Jingaling. Right now you will find the 2007 offering as well as links to the three previous years. These include very nice artwork for CD case insert labels! falalalala.com/ Don't forget to explore the links to get ahead in this thread! The Bone Conduction Music Show - Christmas Extravaganza 2007 is availabe for download. It will remain up until it rotates off the archive page. Host Thayrone urges us to record the show and play it poolside in the Summer! You'll find it in four one hour segments. - www.thayrone.com/listennow.htmlDon't forget to scroll down for the two hour version of the Christmas show as well. In addition, all the shows in December have Christmas content. Might as well get them too!

I hope that many of you took advantage of the plethora of out of print Christmas offerings by Captain OT! You certainly missed out if you didn't! Wonder how many times we'll here "Where can I find...?" this year? It was probably on Rob's site at one time! For the first partial week of 2008, here is another limited time download source. Join hosts Snarfdude and Daffodil as they bring you a Cheeze Pleeze Christmas via podcast. www.cheezepleeze.com/archive.htm2007 Christmas Show MP3's are labeled: SHOW 178 Christmas 2007-Pt 1 SHOW 179 Christmas 2007-Pt 2 SHOW 180 Christmas 2007-Pt 3 SHOW 181 Christmas 2007-Pt 4 As with the Bone Conduction Music Show above (you've got about three weeks left, hurry!), these shows will rotate off the archive. Get 'em now! Please, if you listen to and/or download any of these sources, leave a note here or e-mail/pm me. If there is little or no interest, I may let this thread fade off into the Yuletide sunset. I really would like your additions too so that I can add more music to my collection!

Old Time Radio Christmas shows abound on the internet. While looking to find something to share, I was overwhelmed by all the choices! Instead of making one choice, here is a link that will keep us busy for a long time. channel1.radionostalgia.libsyn.com/index.php?search_string=christmas&search=1If you have an OTR favorite, chances are it's here. Bob Hope, Burns & Allen, The Shadow, Abbott & Costello as well as some big band shows for Crown and many many more shows are ready for discovery. Hence, the early posting so that we may get started!

Together they run just over six minutes. Did You Spend Christmas Day In Jail? – 1929 Death May Be Your Santa Claus – 1926 www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-qv3Xk1wgc

www.morethings.com/mp3/index.htmlThe Beatles recorded Christmas & New Year's greetings for their fan club members. Though these recordings turn up now and again in various places on the internet, I've never seen all of them together in one place available as downloads until now. Scroll down to just before half way to: The Beatles It ain't Christmas for a Beatle fan without these seven classic recordings. BEATLES CHRISTMAS 1963 BEATLES CHRISTMAS 1964 BEATLES CHRISTMAS 1965 BEATLES CHRISTMAS 1966 BEATLES CHRISTMAS 1967 BEATLES CHRISTMAS 1968 BEATLES CHRISTMAS 1969

Folks with Sirius Radio and/or Dish Network will be familiar with Little Steven’s Underground Garage channel. These shows are archived as audio streams (not sure about downloads) at ~ aash.littlestevensundergroundgarage.com/ For Christmas shows, click on the DJ/Host’s name on the left. Then choose any show from the month of December. So far I haven’t found any shows with exclusive Christmas content, but just about all shows in December have Christmas tunes in the playlist. Speaking of playlists, you may open the playlist with a separate link next to the show link. As for Little Steven his ownself, he does do exclusive Christmas shows! In addition to Sirius, broadcast stations across the U.S. carry his syndicated Underground Garage show. For more on Little Steven’s Christmas shows, check here ~ www.littlestevensundergroundgarage.com/play/archive07.htmlYou’ll notice archived shows going back to 2002 under the heading. Christmas episodes working backwards are 299, 298, 247, 246, 195, 194, 144, 143, 90, & 38. Each show will open in a cool jukebox and a playlist is available. The above content may require membership, but signing up is free and easy.
