about

Recorded for Jon Solomon’s 30th-annual edition of the Holiday Radio Show!

A special 30 hour marathon (!!!), celebrating three decades of Christmas broadcasts on 103.3 fm WPRB.
wprb.com/jon-solomons-holiday-radio-show-30-years-30-hours/

We didn't try to cover and/or ruin any classics this time around. We wrote a rap* and tracked it, but this figgy pudding of ours was neither dense nor moist enough, so... instead we decided to celebrate each hour that Jon will be on the radio this year. In alphabetical order.

And with something this ridiculous, there's only one thing to do: bring in a hype man. Which begets a second thing to do: get the hype man to hype again. Hut! Hut! Hype!!

Hopefully this tune captures the feeling of being in a cab late at night, heading home after a holiday party. Things get a little woozy as you cross the bridge, but before you know it you'll be snoring in the backseat!

All the zzz's to you and yours...

*Maybe we'll expectorate these 16 bars at some future point:

Dred beat and Bloodloss
Let’s lubricate the goats
It’s time to make a toast
To the Fishwives, the Tanners
The first and last time callers
Everyone’s a baller
Batting a bee thousand
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Iliad, the Trojan War in Jamaica
Between sound systems
I put my money on Duke
Reid, not basketball
Organized sports, flesh condensed
It’s hard to cheer in the present tense
