One of my favorite Christmas traditions is the Battle Tapes podcast – Battlepod. This years edition features PUJOL and Battle Tapes head honcho Jeremy Ferguson getting real weird and spacey. Is it particularly Christmas-y? Maybe not. Is it a refreshingly strange aural treat? You betcha. Download it.

If the new podcast isn’t quite enough Christmas music for ya, here’s a little addendum of more goods to check out:
I’m told there’s another Battle Tapes BattlePod on the way this year. I hope that’s true.. it makes the year complete.
After immersing myself in that Partytown Hospital record I decided to browse around Bandcamp and find some other eclectic Nashville Christmas music. In doing so, I unearthed the best Christmas present I could possibly bestow to the Nashville music scene – David Argyle Thacker’s The Mouth Trumpet Christmas Album. It is exactly what you’d think it is and it delivers big time.
From there, I decided I might as well just throw together a Christmas themed edition of the podcast because, why not? So, with that in mind, dive into this Merry Christmas compilation! I’ve actually got more Christmas related items to share so come back later if this doesn’t satisfy you.
