Wow, this one was great if not better than last weeks !!
Garrison Keillor was funny, love the wedding present and that miles davis tune was simply amazing.
Really liked the Neko case cover, reminds me i should dig out my old Tom waits albums. And bloody hell My Chemical Romance, i knew they were bad, but that was just evil Bethanne, hee hee
Victor Scott O Holy Night was very sweet, nice touch.
Happy Christmas !!

I’m going to love this one, I just know it…
Dear Simone, I’ve been singing Oi To The World non-stop lo these past few weeks, much to Dearest Wife’s irritation. She somehow doesn’t think “Oi to the world and everybody wins” really conveys the spirit of the season. Sigh…
P.S. Vandals over No Doubt, any bloody day!!

Yesterday I was thinking about sending in a mshup of Paranoid and Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer. Looks like I’m a bit late on that one, but this is a great list even without it.

At least give them credit for I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love. After that do what you will.

LOL…these intros. Cool track Eric Metronome. Love the baby piano. Hope to hear you in more upcoming podcasts.
Bethanne, when I saw MCR on the playlist, I’ll admit I cringed. But tis the season for forgiveness and joy and Muppets and Garrison Keillor can usually fix everything.
Whee! I now have another great version of O Holy night to adore. It’s absolutely lovely Victor.
