Rural Ledge-ucation #35: Winter

There's few things I despise more than weather chat. Nothing bores me more than the "what do you think of this weather" question that I have to endure whether it's hot, cold, raining, snowing, or just perfect. But I'm also a hypocrite, so now that we've had our first blast of winter temperatures it's time for a show based around "winter" songs. So here you go - garage rock, power pop, and singer/songwriters performing songs about this much despised part of the year. Stream this through stitcher, The Ledge android/iPhone app, or directly HERE!
