To get in that “holiday spirit”, our selection of tracks for this week’s episode are all about Christmas. The majority of these are a bit older but there is a new track that Banjo or Freakout recently finished that we added in the mix. So, head over to Indie-Verse at 1 pm CST (or just listen all day) and check us out. Merry Christmas!

Above all I will say Tim Cushing’s music is charmingly understated. Cushing folk songs can easily draw comparisons to Daniel Johnston, Jeff Mangum, and more recent artists The Tallest Man On Earth, Deer Tick and in a strange way his delivery is similar to Yoni Wolf’s; yet Cushing does not let his influences paint a picture of his music, but rather a mural. His most recent album Telephone Lines brings to mind mid-century beat culture and the traveling aesthetic associated with it and namely Kerouac. Cushing’s music is at once sorrowful, uplifting and enjoyable to the last chord.
