This week, we are featuring Christmas-themed songs selected by Brian Foss, host of Sonic Reducer, KEXP's punk show. Brian has been doing a punk rock Christmas special every year since 2004, and has been a Christmas Day on-air DJ since 2012. No standards are played, only original songs, most with a humorous bent. Hear him this holiday season from Noon to 6:00 PM on Wednesday, December 25th, and then celebrate New Year's Eve with Brian's "New Wave New Year's" show on Tuesday, December 31st from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM PST.
Brian's pick for today is "Christmas Time Is Here (Uh Oh)" by Telekinesis,from the 2019 album You Wish: A Merge Records Holiday Album on Merge Records. Brian tells us:
Merge records put out a solid holiday themed compilation in 2019
called You Wish: A Merge Records Holiday Album, and you can find this
friendly track from Seattle act Telekinesis there.
Telekinesis released his fifth album Effluxion earlier this year, also via Merge Records.
