The Ongoing History of New Music, Episode 806: The 24th Annual Christmas Show
Tired of all the syrupy, sappy Christmas music you’ve been hearing in stores, offices and restaurants? Looking for something more than the stuff those radio stations who play Christmas music 24/7 this time of year? Then gather around, children. Uncle Alan is here with the annual Ongoing History Christmas Special, 60 minutes of some of the most non-traditional holiday music you will hear anywhere on the planet.
Songs on this show:
Bros, It’s Christmas Day
NOFX, Xmas Has Been X’ed
Parkdale Hookers, Have a Parkdale Hookers Christmas Time
Billy Childish and the Musicians of the British Empire, Santa Claus
White Town, Why I Hate Christmas
Spook School, Someone to Spend Christmas With
