2006 Redux
For many years now, I've been sharing out this collection of tracks that I've touted as the best of my Christmas in July shares from 2006. One thing I've not done is change it. I've been sharing out the same old files ripped from vinyl in 2006. But now I'm changing that. Those of you who've come around in July know that I try to share out Christmas songs from non-Christmas albums, and frequently I re-record things I've shared out before, either because I found a stereo copy or a cleaner record, or just because I felt like it. So what I did was found all the tracks from this comp that I had rerecorded at some point, and dropped them into place. I updated all the tags so it still looks the same, but hopefully the sound will be a little better on 16 of the 31 tracks. Listening to this today, I think it really holds together well, though that may just be because I've been listening to these songs for many Christmases now. I'm sure you'll enjoy it if you've never heard it before, and returning visitors can appreciate the new sound. This is The Best Of Christmas In July 2006 From Ernie (Not Bert).

ReplyDeletemerry christmas ernie.
ReplyDeletehope everything's ok.
Hope you are ok. Your blog is always one of my favorite parts of the holiday.
ReplyDeleteErnie, hoping everything's ok. You just kind of disappeared after this post on Dec 15. Hope you and Jen had a wonderful and Merry Christmas, and also a very Happy New Year. Merry Christmas, no matter what time of year it is!
ReplyDeleteCan you re-up Michael Carr's Wintertime files? All the rapdishare stuff is gone. :(
ReplyDeleteThe music you have presented has made Christmas a fun time of year again for me. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMerry christmas for 2006 :) have fun of the coming year more blessing to come :)
ReplyDeleteI hope things are ok in Jen and Ernie country. With no update since Dec 15, not even a Merry Christmas since, I can't help but be a bit worried. Praying everything is ok, and you're just on an extended break. Merry Christmas in July to all!
ReplyDeleteJust adding a fourteenth comment so that we're not sitting at an unluck thirteen for an unspecified period of time. Merry Christmas to all, no matter the time of year!
ReplyDeleteSo, no Christmas in July this year? Would be nice if you would have posted explaining why not...plenty of us are worried about you :/
ReplyDeletei'm just one of the old leechers here. i have no inside info on ernie other than this thread posted at falalalala.com earlier this year:

for the less adventurous, i'll summarize: ernie briefly appears and explains his absence by saying that he is "busy elsewhere", with a winking santa's elf emoji. i posit that as he had already explained here that his new married life left much less time for posting music, he has felt that further explanation here is unnecessary. the real point is, unless something has changed since then, he is fine. so not to worry. much like my own parents, he does not care to elaborate on the fruits of marriage and prefers to let inquiring minds... well, inquire. whether he will continue with any new postings here is a matter of speculation. let's give him credit for years of great (ok, sometimes not-so-great) and otherwise unobtainable music, most of which still has working links. perhaps by accentuating that positive, we can cajole him into a few more 'must hear' offerings, as his time allows.
I'd just like to add my endless gratitude to the praise already expressed on this page. Love this blog and I've found so many great and/or fun Christmas tracks here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Christmas In July mix, Ernie, just now checking it out, there are a few on there i have never heard! Thanks again!!
ReplyDeleteSure hope you're doing alright Ernie! Hope to see you here again.
