Jeremy’s along to spread some holiday cheer (and spit out some rather controversial statements near the end of the show. I think he must be adopted.) We’ve got some holiday favourites and some of this week’s upcoming shows to preview!

It is, indeed, beginning to look a lot like Christmas, so it’s time to
sound like it as well, as we continue to roll out some holiday music
that doesn’t suck. We’ve also got some musical gift-giving options as
we listen to some of the best albums of the year, and somehow, I got
off on a tangent and listened to a whole pile of amazing songs by some
super talented women.
