During the festive season we tend to spend some quality time with family and friends, enjoying some festive tunes. Now that there is time to relax and listen to music, why not compile a CC-licenced music playlist, or listen to the following playlist created by Bjorn Wijers:

Artist: Some Weird Sin
Song: 'True Love Is Suidicide'
Sounds like: Pj Harvey before 'Is This Desire?' Piano, drums and a great voice! Live at the Simuze evening in ACU, Utrecht The Netherlands on the 20th of december!

Artist: El Senor Ciuf Ciuf
Song: 'I Feel like A Clean Blackboard' (album as zipfile!)
Sounds like: Lo-fi Stijn* with a schoolband. Experimental, lo-fi pop. A bit it strange, but head nodding nice.

Artist: Baby Blonde and The Downs

Sounds like: The Postal Service, but more exciting! Electronics, drums and a duet between husband and wife?

Song: Allein Unter Den Arkaden
