Summary

It's Bonus Song Christmas! Wait, what? Didn't we say that the last Bonus Song Thursday was the last episode of the year? Well, it turns out Bill and Brian don't understand how calendars work and we didn't get our releases and recording days lined up so that we could talk about our listeners' suggestions for cool (and terrible) Christmas songs. So Bill took a little bit of time out of his Christmas Eve celebrations (which mostly consists of listening to "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and dancing with his dog Murray's floppy basset hound ears) to read some emails and play a couple new tunes. Featured on this episode are songs by Ron Sexsmith, Over the Rhine, Marah, and Squeeze! Happy holidays, again!

sure if they do. If they do, people should let us know. So if you've been following along at

home with the great albums podcast, what we normally do here every episode is we take a different

great album of music, talk about what makes it great, including a track-by-track analysis of what's

going on. Also, usually I have a co-host with me, Brian Erickson, who is not with me today, because
