Dale North’s site has a pretty diverse set of music featured. Not only does he write original music, and do his own arrangement’s of classic songs, but he also does a number of interesting video game remixes with the band The OneUps and the studio he co-founded, OneUp Studios. And he offers all this free for download! If you’re a holiday nut (and I know you are), make sure to check out his Super Mario’s Sleigh Ride for a pretty fun, unexpected track. Oh yes, and he also covered “Last Christmas” though it’s nothing like his work with the OneUps. Check out goto80’s cover for a video game-made version.

Dale North – Last Christmas

You can find free downloads on Dale’s site, the OneUp’s site, and Volume 2 on amazon.com

Aspiring artist Brittany Bennett is actually pretty good at what she does. This particular track is a just her and a guitar, but check out her other songs on myspace. They’re more involved, full-band affairs and sound just as good as anything on the radio right now.

Brittany Bennett – Last Christmas


Whoa, this is wild. I guess it’s metal? This would actually be a great “surprise” track on a rather traditional holiday mix because it starts out like the Wham! original and then BAM!
