Just in time! :) I’ve been working on these 3 play lists over the past few months and as per usual they’ve changed form many times but its finally time to wrap them up in some pretty paper and stack them under the tree. Before i go on to talk about the track lists of each id like i just want to explain how these 3 compilation gifts work in my mind. I see this as situational, emotionally dependant listening, the name of each compilation reflects the mood or situation i envisaged it to be listened in, mainly because i they are songs that i enjoy in those particular situations. So i hope you might be able to enjoy them as such, with friends and family or on your own.
Note: Each compilation has a dual name that I decided to add afterwards… it seemed fitting for some of them.
In The Snow/Beneath The Stars

Giving Gifts/A Fuck
It’s a tough one to describe, maybe give this a miss unless you’re feeling a bit experimental in places this Christmas. Its hard to put my finger on how i was feeling when i threw these tracks into the sack together… It works on some level for me. Sorry about the hideous album art, i slapped that together a in a slightly angered rush also.
