teddy_radiatorI'm kinda proud of this one:
Happy Holidays! 2016 has been tough, but here at Steampunk Towers, Christmas came with a very happy surprise – our daughter Catherine arrived all the way from England! And as if one amazing guest wasn’t enough, The God of Pod Evan Harris also stops by with his special brand of holiday cheer (apologies that his mic was a little hot, so a bit of distortion, but he’s awesome just the same!)
Catherine takes us on a comparison tour of the US vs the UK, and we argue some of the finer points of sports, tea and profanity. Christmas makes up most of our discussion, including our favourite gifts, all those times Catherine was fooled by Father Christmas, and what needs to go into this Christmas version of the Steampunk Cellar. And what the heck is a Singing Hinney??
All this, along with the usual mélange of Christmassy vintage commercials, silly jingle (bells) and cool carols.
Featured Music:
My Favourite Things – Brian Setzer Orchestra
Kiko And The Lavender Moon – Los Lobos
Rule Brittannia – London Symphony Orchestra
What Child Is This? – Ray Charles
Fairytale of New York – The Pogues F. Kirsty McColl
’Zat you, Santa Claus? – Louis Armstrong
The Most Wonderful Day of The Year – From Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
What Child Is This? – From The Charlie Brown Christmas Soundtrack
Stop The Cavalry - Jona Lewie

Date: 2016-12-30 01:37 am (UTC)Los Lobos "Kiko" is SUCH a fantastic album. My fav is "Saint Behind the Glass."
And "Fairytale of New York?" TOTAL YES!!!!! I used to have an album called something like A New Wave Christmas that sadly disappeared- and that was one of my favorites on it....
Xoxo!
