Good Christmas Music

It's that time of the year again! Christmas songs are being played everywhere you go, there is no escaping.  For those who would like something different, I recommend the band Straight No Chaser.  What started as an a capella group at the University of Indiana has now become a pretty popular musical group, specializing in the holiday music.  There is the classics like Carol of the Bells but the group as a few originals like The Christmas Can-Can, Who Spiked the Eggnog? and their very own rendition of 12 Days of Christmas.  Definitely worth checking out.

New Show

Not all music lovers enjoy showtunes.  I, for one, do.  Give me some "My Fair Lady" or "Singin' in the Rain" and I am happy.  I also love Broadway, which is not everyone's favorite either, especially those who are fans of rock 'n' roll.

However, there is a new show on Broadway that will bring in more than just your average theater junkie.  This new show is based on the music of the Canadian rock band Green Day.  The show trys to follow a storyline around the music through the lives of 3 friends, but it's the music that draws in the fans.  I would recommend the American Idiot on Broadway for fans of rock.
