]]> More Christmas music today. The Holidays Don’t Have To Be So Rotten is a Christmas charity compilation put together by the good people at Flannelgraph Records. All profits go to Middle Way House, a crisis shelter for women affected by domestic abuse and rape. The idea is that this Christmas album raises funds for Christmas presents for the children currently staying at the shelter with their mothers (but I’m sure donations are welcome all year round). The album itself is entirely instrumental and features 34 different artists, including Owen Ashworth’s Advance Base, Candy Claws, DM Stith, Bro. Stephen and The Parade Schedule. The compilation covers a huge diversity of genres from electronic to mathy rock and roll, post rock to weird avant-garde psychedelics.

You can buy a digital copy of the compilation via Bandcamp, and you can also get a download code plus a themed Christmas card from the Flannelgraph Records website. If you like what you hear, I would also recommend checking out the two previous volumes (Volume 1 and Volume 2), which feature bands such as Dolorean, Dirty Beaches, Drekka and Sleeping Bag. This really is a good cause and certainly a very good way of making someone else’s holidays a lot less rotten.
