Hey Guys! It’s Christmas Time!
This whole album is really, really great.
![Songs for Christmas is a box set of five separate EPs of Christmas-related songs and carols recorded by independent musician Sufjan Stevens between 2001 and 2006. The EPs had been given as gifts to friends and family of Stevens over the past six years, except for 2004 where he was too busy recording the Illinois album. Though the first three EPs have been available on Sufjan Stevens-related fansites for several years, Songs for Christmas is the first official release of these EPs. Most of the tracks are versions of traditional Christmas songs, with a number of original compositions such as “Sister Winter” and “Star of Wonder”. Sufjan Stevens has developed a reputation for being a devoted Christian[6] and many of the songs he chose for inclusion on Songs for Christmas are religious in nature, including his original compositions.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luknw6O8g01qz4wrdo1_400.jpg)

Analyst suggests iCloud's services as important as iTunes
Analyst Ben Reitzes of Barclays Capital has released a report declaring iCloud as the most important service Apple has put together since iTunes. iTunes revolutionized the way people buy music and content online; Reitzes suggests that iCloud will be a similar revolution that transitions the main hub for digital content from the PC, iPad, or TV into the cloud itself. We already know Apple is planning on making a big investment into iCloud and its infrastructure, and Reitzes says that investment will come in many forms, including connections with partners to share and spread the data stored on Apple’s servers
I’ve been pretty impressed with iCloud over the past few weeks. Seems to work pretty seamlessly. I suspect I’ll see alot of my desktop mac apps being replaced by icloud in the next few years. Specifically iTunes and iPhoto.
Nicely done, iTunes.
