We have a veritable smorgasbord this week. Holiday music from Sharon Jones, James Brown, The Waitresses, Yo La Tengo, The Beach Boys, and The White Stripes. There are hip-hop songs about pizza. There are lengthy indie rocks jams with heavy riffs. You might hear Ben Gibbard covering Teenage Fanclub, and John Darnielle covering the Sisters Of Mercy.
