I know Christmas is over, but I recently discovered this amazing acapella group comprising of 10 guys called
Straight No Chaser from iTunes. Every week, iTunes offers free downloads of songs, exclusive movie clips and stuff. They're called Discovery Downloads if I'm not mistaken...but you'll need an iTunes account for the US store first. Well, the previous week, they offered Auld Lang Syne by Straight No Chaser, Stephen Colbert's Another Christmas among other stuff...I got a Mythbusters Christmas Special episode too!!! Oh, and they also had episode 1 of The Secret Life of the American Teenager for free, too.
Anyways, to those of you who have not seen this, check it out (be sure to watch it in HQ)...Straight No Chaser's really good! They're so precise, and I love the way they mixed different Christmas songs into 12 Days of Christmas!!! After listening to the whole album titled Holiday Spirits, even though it's acapella, I don't miss the instruments at all.
And if you're searching for their videos on YouTube, you'll notice that there's 2 different groups for Straight No Chaser...the 12 Days of Christmas guys are the original lineup, and the others are the present members (I think) from Indiana University. The original members sound waaaaay better IMO...
