Public radio brings you six hours of (good) holiday music

Looking to soundtrack the holidays, but don’t care for what we did with our Corrupted Christmas Mix? Local public radio has you covered. You’ve got your choice of either The Fish Fry‘s four-hour extravaganza, or the slightly less epic two Retro Cocktail Hour holiday special.

Both programs aired Saturday night, and I took advantage of the amazing radio to kick back on the couch in my pajamas with a glass of Iwig egg nog (the best nog around) and some reading material.

If you weren’t fortunate enough to be so comfortable, hit either the Fish Fry or Cocktail Hour archives and listen to the December 19 program for each.

You’ll be treated to music from Les Baxter, Elvis Presley, Wilson Pickett, Ed “Kookie” Burns, Esquivel, Miles Davis, and more. Expect all the classics, but presented in ways the usual holiday radio stations don’t usually give us.
