A Special X-Mas
XM
30 - Special X
Begins Noon ET Thanksgiving Day and runs thru December
28th
Where do the categorically challenged holiday tunes of the
world go to get played? Why, Special
X of course! It's like the Island of Misfit Music! Hear funny,
strange, bizarre holiday fare mixed together with your favorite rock holiday
songs and every other kind of music you could ever imagine! It's as nutty as
fruitcake but doesn't contain those gummy cherries that will pull your fillings
out like fruitcake does. The most diverse holiday collection of music ever
assembled is A Special X-mas!
Listen for XM's beloved "Mr. Christmas" to
host segments of A Special X-mas...whenever he can stand up. Just don't expect
him to always be coherent. No, we're not kidding. He used to be really popular
on the radio many years ago but has fallen on hard times so the Special X crew hire him to do holiday
stuff every year. Nobody at XM really likes him but we deal with him. We hope
you will, too.
Don't forget the Special X-mas Holiday Pledge...
"We of XM 30 solemnly swear that we will never, ever play Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer."
On The Rocks Becomes
"Holly"
XM
76 - On The Rocks
Begins Noon ET on Thanksgiving
The most
popular and familiar holiday hits of all time. The Carpenter's "Merry Christmas
Darling," Brenda Lee's "Rockin Around The Christmas Tree," and Bobby Helm's
"Jingle Bell Rock," are just a few of the timeless classics that mark this
celebration of the songs that define the pop side of Christmas. Sing along with
"Holly"....you'll know all the words.
