Slowed way down, Wham’s “Last Christmas” becomes an ambient stunner

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
For many of us, the winter holidays are less a time to participate in traditional Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/etc. cheer, and more an opportunity to leverage other people’s important celebrations into a means of just getting a damn vacation. Thus, while the Internet has recently been providing users with non-holiday music and films mashed-up to become Christmas songs, turnabout is fair play. If beloved pop culture can be repurposed to suit jolly old yuletide whims, then it seems fitting to take a Christmas classic and more or less suck the holidays right out of it.
