This week, to get into the festive spirit, we are featuring a collection of new holiday-themed songs as our Song of the Day podcasts. You can download original songs from The Barr Brothers and Breathe Owl Breathe, covers from Jessica Lea Mayfied and Brite Futures, and a new song from Diamond Rugs, a “supergroup” of sorts consisting of members of Deer Tick, Black Lips, Los Lobos and Six Finger Satellite.
