Xmas Substitute Attempt of Radio (#32)

Original source here. Recorded on December 21, 1996.

Christmas in July I understand, but April? We're only a quarter of the way through the year, barely done with Easter. Even with me being late a day and everything. That's just the luck of the draw, I guess. I grab tapes, put them into the computer, upload them and post them in order.

Christmas, at least as known by the people who won't go within 10 miles of a mall during that time, is rich with various media tools. Even though we select only sound, we have nearly three quarters of a century of recorded media to draw from.

This selection may lead to feelings of vertigo, slight nausea, disorientation, and tidings of comfort and joy.

Added by IanF-R:
When Jason says above "It doesn't get whiter than this", he's referring to a featureless & foreign-pressed Pat Boone record of Christmas songs that had the most garish and grotesque cover art imaginable (Boone's teeth were whitened by scratching the printing plates). Sadly I no longer have this monster.
