John Roderick has, as a part of the The Long Winters, written some of our favorite songs and released some of the most resilient albums of indie-pop in the annals (including the “lost” masterpiece, When I Pretend to Fall–more on that soon).  Roderick is also one of the funnier folks around, as heard on his various podcast shows, including with Merlin Mann on the Roderick On the Line podcast (thanks to Tad Wagner for that hint).  Roderick and musician Jonathan Coulton recently released a new holiday album of originals dubbed One Christmas at a Time.  Check out Mr. Roderick below solo on a song from the album entitled The Week Between (lolling between pathos and bathos).  Nicely done.
