Happy Krampusnacht! #BandcampFriday winterval.bandcamp.com/album/sad-ch...

Yes, buy this too. It's great and it's got me in it!

It's Bandcamp Friday! If you've ever considered giving me some money for any of my Christmas music, today's the day! #BandcampFriday winterval.bandcamp.com

The man, the myth, the legend Kristian Noel Pedersen is back with yet another #christmas stunner. @knpknpknpknp.bsky.social #christmasmusic #altchristmas Kristian Noel Pedersen – Bullshit & Gift Wrapping (2025) christmasunderground.com/2025/12/04/k...

Yes, again there's a Spotify playlist with our choice of newly released Christmas songs this year open.spotify.com/playlist/0S0...

This new comp supports #LGBTQIA+ youth with some excellent modern pop #christmas tunes, and even a few for the weirdos like me. #christmasmusic #altchristmas HBM Presents: Sleigh the Holidays, Volume 2 (2025) christmasunderground.com/2025/11/04/h...

You can now listen to my massively unpopular latest album on Spotify open.spotify.com/album/6c7BaT...

It's Bandcamp Friday which means if you buy my new album today, I'll get all the money! If enough people buy it (and you can pay anything!) I'll stop making unpopular niche projects like this one and focus on making another Christmas album. winterval.bandcamp.com/album/everyt...

Holiday reading @writingonmusic.bsky.social

New Winterval album out now on Bandcamp! It's a collection of folky reinterpretations of songs by Fountains of Wayne. I'm not sure who it will appeal to. winterval.bandcamp.com/album/everyt...

All news is terrible and scary but then the greatest news ever happens. If you're not a Fountains of Wayne fan, you should really sort that out. pitchfork.com/news/fountai...

"Oh look, a band I like is doing a UK tour! I imagine they'll definitely be playing at the second largest city in Britain, handily based in the centre of England! I'll just check the dates to make su... oh" - Me, most weeks.

Wrapping up Santapalooza 2024 with our picks for the best new Christmas songs of the year! It was a banger of a year, and we can't wait to hear what's in store for Christmas 2025! We'll be back here - and only here - on November 21, 2025. Stay strong in 2025 and, as always, #FuckTrump #FuckElon.

Just to warn you, I wrote this at 11pm after a few beers. I'm not sure it totally makes sense but please read it, if only because I managed to reference @knpknpknpknp.bsky.social, Beta Radio and The Cheeky Girls!

Oh wow this is just the loveliest review. Thanks so much Christmas Underground!

Top 10 best Sufjan Christmas originals: 10. The Child with the Star 9. Carol of St Benjamin 8. Did I Make You Cry 7. Justice Delivers its Death 6. Star of Wonder 5. Christmas Unicorn 4. Barcarola 3. Worst Christmas Ever 2. Sister Winter 1. Christmas in the Room

I released a new Christmas album a week ago. It's different from the other Christmas music I've made in that I wrote and recorded it pretty quickly rather than spending years on it. I think it mostly holds up. winterval.bandcamp.com/album/sad-ch...

Every single one of my previous 19 mixes is now on @mixcloud.bsky.social. Check out some old ones this #christmas season! www.mixcloud.com/christmasund...

At the weekend I discovered this Christmas EP by Chris Cleverley. It's really lovely folky stuff and there's a Sufjan cover so it's right up my street. Plus he's from Birmingham too! 🤯 chriscleverley.bandcamp.com/album/in-the...

The title song on my new album, Sad Christmas Songs, is made up of the titles of 31 other sad Christmas songs. Here's a playlist of them in order so you see how lazy a songwriter I really am. open.spotify.com/playlist/2Z6...

What makes blogging about Christmas music all worth it? A shoutout on the new @knpknpknpknp.bsky.social LP, of course! christmasagogo.blogspot.com/2024/12/kris...

Sad Christmas Songs is now available on Spotify and most other streaming places open.spotify.com/album/0djr1U...

#MusicalAdvent Day 6: @winterval.bsky.social - Sad Christmas Songs winterval.bandcamp.com/album/sad-ch...

The new @winterval.bsky.social 2024 Christmas release is called SAD CHRISTMAS SONGS, which is odd because a new @winterval.bsky.social release always makes us happy. Available TODAY for #BandcampFriday!

It's a Christmas miracle - a new Winterval album! Out now on Bandcamp. winterval.bandcamp.com/album/sad-ch... #BandcampFriday

Make of this what you will

No AI, these are not the correct lyrics. But are they an improvement?

Looks like @christmasagogo.bsky.social, Hip Christmas and I got our yearly @huffpost.bsky.social shout out! www.huffpost.com/entry/new-ch...

Screenshotting this as I can't imagine I'll ever improve on it. By Winterval's standards, Making Christmas has been a huge hit! Thanks for listening!
