I was browsing through the iTunes belonging to the other students in my dorm and found an a cappella version of "The Mummer's Dance" by Loreena McKennitt! How kick-ass is that ?

In other musical news, I've been listening to a lot of older Christmas carols. It's so much fun to find the ones that have roots in Paganism, such as "The Holly and the Ivy." Makes me want to hang mistletoe over the windows and doors. As the winter solstice will be here soon, I'm including the lyrics.

Several CDs of holiday that I highly recommend are To Drive the Cold Winter Away and A Winter Garden by Loreena McKennitt; also Mistletoe and Wine by Mediaeval Babes. I'm also fond of "The Coventry Carol."

What are carols that you enjoy? Don't care what your religion is or isn't.

Does anyone know when Loreena McKennitt's new CD, An Ancient Muse, is coming out? I would have loved to see her performance at the Alhambra.
