Episode Seven - Stocking Stuffed With Fun!

 Hey everybody! 

That's right, back from hiatus and ready to spin the platters again! I did honestly consider doing a Christmas-themed show, for about all of ten seconds, but to be honest it's kind of my least favorite kind of music. I would rather be subjected to Christian rock and early 2000's emo for sixteen consecutive hours, than listen to bland seasonal songbook of your in-store-muzak variety. Are there some great Christmas tunes? Yeah, a few. Maybe there are some fun lost gems I'm missing out on, but overall, it's a bleak plateau.

All that aside, I decided to forego any sort of genre conventions this time around and do a mixed bag, all in the spirit of cultivating a fun 90 minutes or so.
