The birth of Jesus and Guardian readers
Initial Itch // 1200-1300 11.12.09
the birth of jesus and guardian readers
Alas, Steve is unable to attend the show this week, so trusty irish wonder Michael J. O'Neill steps in to take over co-host duties and discuss the spirit of christmas with Rob. Together, they go on a journey through the most troubling debates of our time, and play some pretentious christmas themed songs.
There's classic poetry from T.S. Eliot, and more from Glasgow four-peice El Dog with their take on Christmas pop classic Let It Snow, which is availiable as a free download right here!
Hope this christmas edition of the Itch helps you get through the exam/essay season slightly less jaded! We'll be back in the new year with more poetry, arts chat, and new music for you all. Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a Good Night!
