This week we have quite a few holiday songs, as well as some reworked versions of previous songs.
ATOM & HIS PACKAGE - BOAT OF A CAR (THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS PODCAST)
Atom & His Package guested on a new episode of Punknews contributor Greg Simpson s They Might Be Giants podcast This Might Be A Podcast, and in doing so, he also covered their song Boat of Car. Atom and TMBG are both masters of quirk, so it s no surprise that Atom was a good fit for this.
