December Starts.

Monday, December 1st, 2008

I’m Tim Friedman. I’m the Music Director at WBGUfm and I’d like to add my welcoming statement to our new blog. Welcome, blog. What a stupendous early Christmas gift you are.
Listeners may note that our automated programming is equipped with just as much new holiday material as are our DJs. We’ve got a full month of new music and Christmas cheer for you.
I’ve enjoyed Suburban Sprawl’s annual holiday compilations for a couple years now and today marked the posting of 2008’s 44 track deep free offering.
Here’s a song from Detroit/Cleveland band Kiddo (“Oh Dear”).
And here’s a link so you can download the whole sampler for free.
Happy December, all.
