Even after "release," I adjust "A non-ironic, not (cheesy) Christmas," my now-7hr19min revisionist holiday odyssey. Now I'm done!

Here's a thread w/links on YouTube, Apple Music, Amazon Music & Spotify

And for the diehards, my updated notes are attached!

With much joy I present to you the updated 2025 edition of “A non-ironic, not (very) cheesy Christmas,” a revisionist holiday playlist full of bangers that I’ve been curating and expanding annually for about 13 years. An alternate title could be “A no-cringe Christmas.” For much of its history, this was a playlist you could comfortably enjoy in one sitting/standing/dancing, with gatherings and parties always the ideal setting. (I made the first version on the fly for a gathering. It’s had the same first song since then.) But it keeps growing, as new recordings are released and I discover older ones I’d missed. Over the years I’ve gradually built out little corners of the playlist that originated as quick stopoffs at one genre or another. The entire thing is now almost a series of sub-playlists within the greater one, with one to three song transitions between sections — all framed by opening and closing stretches that freely mix styles. I continue to sweat out every additional song, every sequence. New songs only make it these days if they’re playlist-worthy and they fill a need in the flow, as it’s come to be. Even with those strict conditions, this year I somehow ended up adding 1 hour and 45 minutes of music, which stuns me. I just kept coming across stuff that needed to be included, much of it released in recent years... “Non-ironic” is now a 7 hour and 19 minute playlist that is not merely a pile of good songs to shuffle (which would be fine), but an epic musical story whose every page has been considered and reconsidered through hours of listening and testing. So whereas I used to say that you really gotta start with the first song and let it play, lately I’ve given my endorsement to do that or to scan the list and start at the beginning of a section that particularly appeals to you at the moment. But it remains my dear wish that, wherever you start it, you let it play in sequence and go along on the ride. All you have to do is hit play once, but FYI this is how it breaks down. (Transition songs between sections aren’t represented.) “A non-ironic, not (very) cheesy Christmas” 2025 1. Opening Survey (45 min) (“Aint No Chimneys in the Projects” by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings through “Here Comes Santa Claus” by Ramsey Lewis Trio) 2. Slinky R&B & Other Beats (43 min) (“God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” by Robert Glasper through “Santa Claus Goes Straight To The Ghetto” by Snoop Dogg) 3. Girl Groups and Other Pop (34 min) (“Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) [Live]” by Darlene Love through “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday” by Kylie Minogue) 4. Acoustic Christmas (63 min) (“Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” by Sam Bush through “The Christians and the Pagans” by Dar Williams 5. Rock N’Roll N’ Relatives (60 min) (“”Christmas Wrapping” by The Waitresses through “Merry Christmas Baby” by Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band) 6. Funky, Soulful Christmas (74 min) (“Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” by Jackson 5 through “Christmas Will Really Be Christmas” by Lou Rawls) 7. Jazz Bands Big and Little (65 min) (“Deck the Halls” by Herbie Hancock through “O Tannenbaum” by Vince Guaraldi Trio) 8. Anthems & Encores (35 min) (“White Christmas” by Otis Redding through “Silent Night (Noche de Paz)” by Lucía Notes on 2025 changes I am thrilled by the bounty of really good holiday recordings that have been released in the past two years. “Non-ironic” now has five songs from 2024 and eight from 2025. That’s not by design, but I’m happy it’s how it worked out. It’s great that artists are still doing interesting work in holiday music, and I know most folks aren’t exactly keeping up on that. Excitingly to me, I added an original song by Jennifer Hudson from 2024 as the fourth one of the whole playlist (the opening five songs had been locked in for many years) and a remarkable “Silent Night (Noche de Paz)” by Lucía released on Halloween of this year is now the last song of the entire playlist. I had to just give in to the reality that it’s a nice capper after Jimi. Wild debut! In less intensely high-profile slots, we welcome Willie Nelson, Lady Gaga, Coco Jones, She & Him, Michael McDonald, Trick Daddy, C.J. Chenier and others to the playlist. Shea Diamond stormed onto the scene, debuting here with two original (I believe) songs and so becoming just the fifth or so artist to repeat on the playlist (it depends in some cases on how you count). But I needed those songs! P.S. Finally, a context for Dylan One exciting-to-me detail … Bob Dylan’s version of “Must Be Santa” been on “Non-ironic” pretty much forever, but never had a spot that really made specific sense. For several years it’s been paired with Matisyahu’s “Happy Hanukkah” as a non sequitur, collar-grabbing pallet cleanser before the funk & soul section. Now “Must Be Santa” is in the acoustic sequence, completing a trio of songs that have accordion in them. I think it lands much better now, in a context that makes sense. When I worked that out, it was a fist-pumping moment.

Here’s a thread of some songs new to “A non-ironic, not (very) cheesy Christmas” that are blowing me away.

How about this 2018 showstopper from Michael McDonald with Twinkie Clark? Now it helps bring the funk & soul section — the heart of the playlist imo—to a crescendo.

I uncovered a hidden Herbie Hancock Christmas classic! Sort of!

A fantastic "Deck The Halls" off '99 comp "Jingle Bell Swing" credited to Ted Macero and His Orchestra has kicked off the jazz portion of my playlist.

It's actually Herbie, from '62 comp "Jingle Bell Jazz"!

Just a weird mislabelling

Kinda funny that the next level of advanced restoration of Star Wars is to take off all the stuff that’s been added to it since the 90’s.

Including just calling it Star Wars.

Watching Anthology, it’s a jolt seeing how young the Beatles look in the 1995 footage. Ringo was the elder statesman, by a few years, at 55.

But culturally, they may as well have been Abraham Lincoln.

If you’re a Billy Bragg fan you may know the early song “Lovers Town Revisited.”

But do you know “Lovers Town”? It doesn’t seem to be on any official release. I fell in love w/this strange but crazy-catchy song from a bootleg CD of Peel Sessions stuff I got at Newbury Comics at The Garage (IYKYK)

I’m catching up with last night’s Beacon Jams and the Stash is like a proof of concept for this musical idea (Trey + horns + strings + more vocalists). Sounds great!

So too does MOMA.

Trey’s guitar solo in Monsters sounds Gilmour-like.
