Greetings of the Season, part 2
A big fat freekicking merry Christmas to everyone out there in radiolandia! To kickstart those warm, slightly drunken feelings of goodwill, here's some soulful musical cheer:

• Carla Thomas: Gee Whiz It's Christmas
• Booker T. & the MG's: Jingle Bells

As a bonus, let me point out that Freekick favourites Deerhoof have recently made us a nice present (via Pitchfork media) in the form of a preview track from their new album, due to be released next month:

• Deerhoof: +81 (from the forthcoming Friend Opportunity LP)

Enjoy!
Dave

Greetings of the Season, part 1
It's a little late in coming, I know, but there are still a few nights left... so to all you tribespeople who may look at our little blog, happy Chanukah!

To liven up the occasion, here's a song for you - not specifically related to the holiday, but irresistible nevertheless....

Don't forget to tune in to the Free Kick show this Saturday night on ckut 90.3 fm, from 9-11 pm eastern time, for the best in musical jollification courtesy of Shawn.

bye now
