Brian’s Mixtape #20: The Big Freeze

Brian — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:33:11 +0000

Brr… it’s cold. Being a sensible sort of chap, Brian’s not going outside until all this horrid weather is over. You might think it’s better for owls, what with their ability to fly and all, but our poor mixtape maker faces the daily threat of having his wings frozen together and falling from the sky. Plop. Quite apart from being sore, it’d be awfully undignified, and Brian has a reputation to protect.

Instead he’s going to stay in with a delicious bowl of mouse soup and listen to the lovely tunes he’s cobbled together. Some about the cold and a couple that are just songs he’s discovered and loves.

Ella Fitzgerald – Baby It’s Cold Outside
Au Revoir Simone – Fallen Snow
Idlewild – Bronze Medal (Acoustic)
The Beach Boys – Cuddle Up
JayMay – Blue Skies
Liam Frost & Martha Wainwright – Your Hand In Mine
Pickin’ On Series – New Slang
Midlake – It Covers The Hillsides
The White Stripes – In The Cold, Cold Night
The Cranberries – The Icicle Melts
Headless Heroes – The North Wind Blew South
Efterklang – Cutting Ice to Snow
