Here we go folks. The last podcast of 2011. We're sad to be heading off-air for a few weeks but looking forward to catching up on our favourite tunes of the year during holiday downtime. This episode is a fairly unprecedented seasonal sign-off, at least as far as this usually humbug podcast is concerned: we've got 3 holiday-themed songs, christmas cookies and a list of holiday shows for you to enjoy. If you need even more yuletide cheer, be sure to check out Sound Vat's compilation, If Jesus Had Been Canadian, He Would Have Needed More Than Swaddling Clothes, featuring 23 classics by some of Canada's best new musicians.
