    I think we've all heard the love for Liquid Swords and 808s & Heartbreak in regards to winter listening. An apt comparison would be the love for Die Hard as a Christmas Movie. Any other favorites that fit under this category for music?

    The riff on this is so d--- festive. That Unknown Pleasures breakdown is a little ominous tho.

    Usually end up listening to James Blake's Overgrown and the Foreign Exchange's Connected a lot around this time. I think anything ambient with a pinch of soul always brings me back to Christmas weather
