nicest surprise of the season: The Drive's Steve Downes ends his pre-10@10 segment today with The Band's orig version of "Christmas Must Be Tonight", which you NEVER hear. (The Robbie Robertson remake tends to get the most play.)

KPIG is in all-Xmas mode and it's wonderful -- stuff you won't hear anywhere else.

I've just officially concluded my Christmas listening with today's blog post.  Now I'm back to my irregularly scheduled listening.

Ok, bringing this one back for the 09 season. 

I'm kvetching here.

I think I have a new candidate for my least-liked Christmas songs.  It's well produced, features two superstars, and I just heard it on KOIT 96.5.

James Taylor & Natalie Cole - Baby, It's Cold Outside

I wasn't that annoyed by JT until the ad-libs near the end.   I've never found Natalie's voice that nice, either.

Hrm.  I'm guessing Casey's syndicator realized they were losing stations at this time of year, so they're making these shows available to the ones that go all-Xmas.  Casey did a number of holiday countdowns over the years, so there should be several to choose from.

It's baaaack!  SomaFM's annual "Xmas in Frisko" stream, the wackiest (adults-only) holiday music feed on the interwebs!

quite the twin-spin on somafm's Xmas feed: Red Peters and his Swingin' Hamsters, "Holy S**t it's Xmas" and (NTM) Bootsy Collins, "Boot-olf the Red Nosed Reindeer" (!)

'LNG plays a Lou Rawls version of "Little Drummer Boy" that's the most bearable one I've heard (well, besides Joan Jett's). Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum yo' OWN damn self!

Last nite's annual KPOO Oldies show Xmas spectacular was wonderful as always. Mostly the usual suspects, but NTM this year was Binky Griptite (of Sharon Jones' Dap-Kings) doing "Stoned Soul Christmas" -- yes, the Laura Nyro/5th D hit with clever new holiday lyrics. Available as a download only but worth a listen:

sadly, could not find it on the YouTubes.
