It's Christmas! In the fifth episode of Old Mansion, Teddy and Conor celebrate the best of festivity with two Christmas-themed albums of the week: Arcade Fire's bootleg, A Very Arcade Xmas, and Sufjan Stevens' two-hour Songs For Christmas. They reflect on the live debut of Teddy's band, Mister Savage, and talk about OneFourOne events to come. 

In the fourth episode of Old Mansion, Teddy's barely alive. He talks us through his experience at Meredith Music Festival and the acts he caught, waxing some on the importance of live performance in shaping his musical tastes. Conor considers Jaden Smith's debut album, SYRE, whilst Teddy discusses the viral debut from Australian newcomers The Teskey Brothers.

In the third episode of Old Mansion, strange things are afoot in the music world. The Vans Warped Tour is finally coming to an end - Conor and Ted discuss the legacy it leaves behind in acts such as Paramore, My Chemical Romance and Green Day. Eminem followed up on his BET cypher with a percussionless single, which only stokes speculation about his place in modern hip hop. Finally, Neil Young's new online archive sounds interesting.
