A little music to get you in the holiday spirit

With Christmas fast approaching, and still no snowfall in sight, perhaps an assortment of music will get you in the holiday spirit.

Check out all of our past holiday episodes for more music playlists: http://awkwardsilencesradio.blogspot.com/search?q=christmas

In particular, our three-part series from season one highlighting the best, worst and most loved holiday songs!

Episode 47: Baby, It's Cold Outside
Episode 46: New Old-Fashioned Way
Episode 45: Roasting Chestnuts

Enjoy!

FYI, iTunes subscribers

Howdy folks.

We'll be changing some wiring in the next few weeks, so you'll likely be unable to follow the show on iTunes for awhile. You'll still find new episodes here on the website, though.

More anon.

Cheers.

S03 E22: Let It Snow

Never mind the bare pavement...

For the last episode of the year, we've crammed all we could into our Christmas extravaganza: amusing holiday anecdotes, scathing political attacks, a bevy of yuletide musical favourites, plus an interview with the makers of TV's Late Night with Matty D! Why, we haven't even bothered keeping the receipt.

(From the 1980 TV movie classic)
