Today's Holiday Song of the Day, as chosen by Brian Foss, host of Sonic Reducer on KEXP, is "Santa's Watching You" by Kelly Finnigan, from the 2020 album A Joyful Sound on Colemine Records.
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:
Formally from the bay area band Monophonics, Kelly Finnigan's new
holiday album is a solid soulful release. His reworking of the The
Sacred Four track is a keeper.
