Suitcase 45s - No. 3: Merry Christmas

While working on the hundredth episode of the show, I thought I'd use the under-utilized Suitcase 45s to showcase a couple of my favorite podsafe Christmas songs. Merry Christmas, everyone, and a Happy New Year.

Suitcase 45s No. Three: Merry Christmas


Candy Butchers "Give Me A Second Chance For Christmas"
Geoff Smith "If Christmas Was Make Believe"

S2: Jonathan Coulton

My first exposure to Jonathan Coulton was hearing his cover of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" being played on Brian Ibbott's great podcast Coverville. Hopefully, these two tracks will encourage you to check out his website, go to his great live shows, and buy his CDs.

Selection No. 2: Jonathan Coulton

"Skullcrusher Mountain" (from Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow, 2004)
"My Monkey" (from Thing A Week I, 2006)

S1: Splitsville

I had a fun time doing the research and putting this one together. I'm not sure who will be the next act I profile but I'm open to suggestions. And comments. Tell me what you like and what you don't like about this first episode. Is the bio stuff between songs too long or not comprehensive enough? I want to keep it short, but I don't want to leave too much out either.

Selection No. 1: Splitsville

"Forever" (from The Complete Pet Soul, 2000)
"The Next One" (from Incorporated, 2004)
