Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree

Mal Devisa - Kiid

Esperanza Spalding - Emily's D+Evolution

Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool

Tallis Scholars Do Christmas

From the BBC, a complete concert of Renaissance Christmas music by one of my favorite groups performing work of that period, the Tallis Scholars.  I'll take this any day over Jingle Bells and White Christmas, but that's just me.  Available for online listening until January 13.  More information here and here.
