Best of Year Holiday Podcast!
«
I don't know about you, but I've barely done any Christmas shopping, let alone wrapping. But when the time does come to wrap, I like a little festive holiday listening -- and this podcast is going to be the ribbon on the box: Next Big Thing's Best of Year Podcast, "The Wonderful Ones 2008."
Rare tracks and holiday messages from 25 indie artists designated as the "Best of the Year" will be featured, including a live recording of one of my original Christmas songs. Also listen for a short holiday audio message of me reciting a bit of Delmore Schwartz' incredible poem, "What Is To Be Given," which I always think of this time of year. The podcast will go up tomorrow, December 19.
In the meantime, there's a very snazzy online photo gallery to check out (I'm 4th row down, 2nd from right -- click arrow in lower right hand corner to flip the pic for info), plus personal reflections on '08, hopes for '09, and more holiday messages on the NBT Blog itself. FUN!
