A little late to announce this: Georg and I will be hosting the annual Divaville Lounge Christmas show today from 2-6pm. Today's will be not just Christmas, also the first day of Hanukkah and the Solstice. Happy Holidays indeed! 88.7 if you're local, wxdu.org if you're not.
The Christmas show has become a tradition I really cherish. I'm not sure when I started doing it every year. I have recordings going back to 2004 and I think I did the show at least once before I had the ability to digitally record shows, maybe more. So this is at least the 5th annual Xmasville Lounge, but I don't know for sure.
In any event it's going to be a fun one. We've got music for Hanukkah from Kenny Ellis, Irving Fields, the Barry Sisters and the Yiddish Radio Project; wintry seasonal music for the solstice; and more classic, weird and wacky Christmas than you can shake a stick at. I'm particularly looking forward to the set devoted to Santa's alternate means of transportation. We've got songs with Santa on a helicopter, in a canoe, on a train, and 2, count 'em 2 songs about Santa in outer space.
