For the eagle-eyed, yes, this went up and then got deleted again earlier. Goofs with the source audio, should be all good now.

Thanks cortex! This is just in time for wrapping presents and getting cozy by the fire.

Hmmm. Is it just me? I'm hearing skips and jumps every once in a while (like right now, listening to Christmas Rhapsody).

I really, thoroughly hate Christmas music to the point where I'll put earplugs in at the mall, but everything's better on MetaFilter.

Very nice! I don't think I've ever purposefully played Christmas music before. Well.. maybe some Belafonte. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao woah, easy there. It's too loud, man.

Oh, hell. I kinda wondered off there. Here's where I ended up if you got lost.

Also, was this included in the main podcast feed? It didn't show up on my computer, but that could just be me.
