Tis’ the season to cheer, wearing that over-sized sweater, getting ready for the new year and/or finding the best defense for the upcoming Apocalypse. As of recently, my friends and I have been dreaming of zombies, escape routes and getting away from the chaos with the hope of never looking back. Dreams of the Apocalypse may come and go however the hope for world peace is still on the table. So what if we make it to 2013? I’ll most likely be writing this monthly feature and you will be making some resolutions to quit smoking, get your dream job or eat better. Whatever happens to us, let’s rejoice and thank the universe for  infectious local music. I’ve created a playlist with 24 day-dreamy songs to get you through the holidays unscathed.

That said, go support our local record shops and buy some music!

Listen to the Winter Magic playlist.
