In the spirit of the season, I give you podcast #68: the almost entirely rocking score for your holiday commute, or, even better, your next family get together. If it’s a dinner type thing at home, make sure to start serving wine during the Division Day/Broadcast section; you and your loved ones will want to be half cut by the time Buzz Osbourne and Zu start trading riffs. You can all drunkenly thank the very gracious labels and artists involved. Enjoy:
