I take a break from the local rock and pop to serve up two hours of holiday music. Some of this stuff might be new to you, so give it a try. Thanks to Jim Kelly, Dean Martucci, and Mike Hernandez. I lean heavily on their annual xmas mixes for this show. Columbus peoples: Tune it in if you're out on the road between 9 and 11 tonight. 98.3 FM is sounding vastly better lately thanks to some work on the antenna.

I actually stay on-task for my entire two-hour time slot on WCRS this week. As a result, the podcast is twice as long as the usual. In the first hour, I chat with Jerry Dannemiller of Moviola. He does a retrospective of the band's career and plays music by D. Charles Speer and the Helix, whom Moviola is playing with this Friday at the Surly Girl. In the second hour, Bob Miller stops in to talk about Rock Potluck 2008, and we listen to bands who are contributing members to this year's potluck.
