Two different holiday media things.
1) Have some Christmas type music!
I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas with a Dalek (I found this online somewhere--the file info says the artist is "The Go-Gos", but I don't actually know if that's accurate. Anyone know what the provenance of this is?)
And assorted awesome people singing in French:
Bruce Cockburn - Les Anges Dans Nos Campagnes
Josh Groban - Petit Papa Noel
Annie Lennox - I'l Est Ne Le Divin Enfant
If you are looking for holiday music that is not in French or concerned with Daleks, feel free to ask! I have lots, and if I happen to have something you're looking for I'd love to hook you up. If you have some you'd like to share, please post a suitable sort of link!
2) So I have this eight-hour solo drive to my parents' house coming up in a couple of weeks (ETA: by which I mean a week from Wednesday. I ... really need to get on my Christmas shopping. o.O), and though I generally do not listen to audiobooks or podfic (I have the right combination of attention span and auditory processing fail to just ... zone out a lot) I have been stricken with the impulse to try again. Specifically, I'd like to listen to some audio non-fiction. (Yes! Yes I do know about the audiobook of One Bullet Away read by the author. I am just not ready for that particular... thing.)
Anyway, so--recs for engaging non-fiction audiobooks? I mostly read pop history and pop science, I think--not memoir or biography as much--but I'm a generally inquisitive person, so if you have something awesome to recommend I'd like to hear about it!
