We couldn’t let the season come and go without getting together to chat about our favourite Christmas songs. What do the best songs have in common? We think we have the answer.
We have no doubt included one of your favourites in this top 20 list, but if not, tell us which song you love.
There are so many great songs to choose from it was pretty difficult figuring out which to include in this selection. So let us in the comments if we left out a big festive fave.
Check out our full video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj3ceQ9HD5g
And don’t miss our next reel with the top 10!

I often thought of him as the cool Cat in the Hat, but Garry George “Jellybean” Johnson was so much more. A consummate musician, a critical member of Morris Day and The Time (on drums) and The Family/fdeluxe (on guitar), producer of the hit song Black Cat, by Janet Jackson – that’s just the tip of the iceberg. He was also working hard to build and preserve the legacy of Minneapolis’ homegrown music genre, raising funds for Minneapolis Sound Museum, capturing a critical part of America’s music history.

It was always a joy for purple fam to see Jellybean around town, and to grab a laugh with him (he smiled a lot - a big, hearty smile that filled whatever room he was in) and to see him perform across the Twin Cities. We are grateful for his immense talent, and send our deepest condolences to his family. Much love Marty and Jazzmin 💜

It was such a pleasure to show around Prince’s beloved hometown of Minneapolis for his story for ! Here is a quote from Zac’s piece—enjoy! And thank you and for connecting us.

“For more depth and context, download the excellent SoundAround Tours mobile app, which offers several different self-guided audio tours of Prince sites in Minneapolis.... In addition to supplying encyclopedic biographical detail, Zschomler acquaints listeners with useful local history, advocates for the preservation of neglected landmarks (“Why isn’t this the Prince Rogers Nelson School for the Arts?” she said to us of the shuttered school building), and gives proper due to the “Minneapolis Sound.”

It’s Halloween when all the ghosts, ghouls and freaks come out to play... even in music videos.

We’re celebrating the season with five of the creepiest music videos around. Here’s the highlights from our longer video as Sarah Shocking-Lee and witchy Kristen “Karnage” Zschomler react to the horror served up by the likes of Jacko and Eilish.

Dream come true being on Morning Show today with Jill Riley and Nilufer Arsala! I listen to them every day, so I know they are both music history nerds - especially Jill. It was so awesome to meet them and be interviewed by Jill about our music tours on Prince, The Minneapolis Sound, folk and punk.

Love - a campaigning voice indeed! It’s also brilliant to see so many young musicians fighting for artists’ rights just like did in the 90s. Sad though that they’re still having to do so 30 years on!
