Wow, haven't heard that Pogues song in years. The cover was great!
Posted by: Dave J. at December 17, 2007 10:50 AMBrian!! Your last few shows have been great. What a way to close out the year. I don't normally like holiday music that much, but I really enjoyed this show. I loved "Heatmiser" and "Christmas in Las Vegas." the best.
I don't think I ever told you that your show is the whole reason I bought an iPod this summer. I still don't know whether to thank you or curse you for that... =)
Wish you all the best over the Holidays and a happy New Year as well.
Hi Brian - a great holiday show. The Badlees' version of "Heatmiser" is especially terrific. Any idea where I can buy it on MP3 or CD? I could only stream it on the Badlees' MySpace page, and I can't find it anywhere else.
