First, big ups to reader Guntars Racs from Microphone Records for shedding some light on BTH (from Day 4). Thanks to him, we now have a link to their website. It appears BTH was formerly known as Braithouse, and their name change happened right before the “Last Christmas” single was released. According to their website, they specialize in radio jingles(!) and have many available for your listening pleasure.

Additional big ups to Whitney Matheson at USA Today Pop Candy for mentioning us yesterday. If you’re coming from there, “hello to you!”

“Last Christmas” produced from a Commodore 64!? Believe it. Man, I loved my C64. Go through the artist link for a Christmas album of “8 amazing tunes [that] were composed by 8 dedicated chiptune maniacs on 8 different videogame consoles and homecomputers!” That deserves a Magical Snowflake Award.

And finally, a couple bits of housecleaning: The search box is now operational thanks to Mr. Travis Schmeisser, so have at it. Travis, you will get something very special in stocking this year. We’ve also been noticing some technical problems for IE users, but our IT department is hard at work to solve the problem, so don’t worry (Hey Trav, can you fix this also?). Also, because we’ve been using so much bandwidth this month, we’re going to start taking down the audio files after they’ve been up for a week. Tomorrow, for example, Day 1’s versions will be unavailable. So get them while they’re hot!

And this lady is French…
