7digital What we said: Who says Christmas songs are just the remit of pop stars like Bieber, Bublé and Carey? As Scrooge taught us, Christmas is for “one and all”, so we’re delighted to see the cream of the alt-rock scene getting involved in seasonal celebrations this year. New compilation Christmas Rules brings together contributions from Americana legends like Calexico, with classic covers by indie chanteuses Holly Golightly and Eleanor “Fiery Furnaces” Friedberger. Elsewhere we find Paul McCartney having a crack at ‘The Christmas Song’, and The Shins borrowing Macca’s material, on ‘Wonderful Christmastime’. Our highlight is ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ by Rufus Wainwright and Sharon Van Etten, and we reckon that – wait for it – Yule love it too. Ho ho ho… What?
