I don't really do Christmas. I am not religious, I am not a major consumer, I don't have family living in my town. I still get really depressed around the holidays like everyone else, and this year I decided to make all my friends personalized mixes as therapy. I am going to call this the Christmas mix series, even though that's not entirely accurate.
This mix is for my friend Adrienne, who is a burlesque belly dancer. Her favorite bands are Pink Floyd and Floater. She also really likes Shakira and the like.

tracklist
| 1 | Pink Floyd : Let There Be More Light |
|
I was always partial to the Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, and I think this song is a great album opener.

| 3 | Shakira : Estoy Aqui |

| 4 | Floater : Mexican Bus |
|
Floater is not necessarily my favorite band, but this song rocks. And I love how it flows with the Kate Bush. The two tracks are so incongruous that it works perfectly.

| 5 | Kate Bush : Watching You Without Me |

I don't know exactly why I chose this track. I was going to use Cloudbusting instead but I liked that sparseness of this one better.

| 7 | The Trucks : Shattered |

| 8 | Madonna : Material Girl |

This will forever be one of my fave Madonna songs. I wanted an early Madonna song, something simple to go between The Trucks and Cat Stevens.

| 10 | Imogen Heap : Shine |

| 11 | The Sugarcubes : Motorcrash |
