We kissed on a corner then danced through the night...
Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to a special Christmas Edition of Flatbasset Radio!
First thing's first, yes, I realize I'm posting this Christmas episode awfully late in the day. I had my own Christmas obligations over the last few days and I just didn't have the time to put it together until now. Fortunately for you, loyal listeners, this mix is less "Christmas Pre-Gaming" and more "Christmas Comedown." So, whether you're on your way home from the in-laws, cleaning up wrapping paper, or just out-and-out wrecked on egg nog, you should probably pop this one on.
As an added Christmas bonus, this week's episode does not contain even one word from me! That's right, no muffled microphone, no angry ranting, no non-sequitirs, and absolutely none of my nasally voice! As you can see from the tracklist, the Cover Of The Week is still here as is our traditional Christmas Flatbasset Flatclassic (only the birth of Jesus Christ could provide a holiday worthy of making peace with Tom Waits). It's just 40 minutes of straight Christmas jams!
As always, this episode is available to download or stream. Just click the episode title below for a download link or click on the Mixcloud player below to stream.
