Today's Holiday Song of the Day, as chosen by Brian Foss, host of Sonic Reducer on KEXP, is "Humans Are Not Worth Saving (Merry Christmas)" by Michael M, from the 2020 self-released album A Digital Christmas Gift For You.
This week, we are featuring Christmas-themed songs selected by Brian Foss, one of the hosts of KEXPs punk show Sonic Reducer, lover of off-brand holiday tunes, and owner of pants. 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 X-Mess songs, most with a humorous bent. Hear him this holiday season from 12-7 PM PT on Friday, December 25th, and get even more seasonal songs on his 17th annual Punk Rock Christmas show on Sonic Reducer, available in KEXP's two-week Streaming Archive (scroll down to the December 20th show).
Brian says:
I don't know much about Michael M (except he's from Glasgow) but I
find his humor dark and endearing.
The song we are sharing today is super catchy and I find myself
singing it way too much.
If the world is going to burn will you laugh with me at least?
He has a whole youtube channel committed to making snarky Christmas videos.
