This week, we tackle a pair of punk-adjacent requests from listener Kevin. “Feliz Navi-nada” by El Vez is, despite the title, a joyful reimagining of the Jose Feliciano original, and “X’mas Time (It Sure Doesn’t Feel Like It)” by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones is an extremely sad and also surprisingly nostalgic experience.
The ranking music this week is “The Impression That I Get” by the aforementioned Bosstones.
Thanks again to Kevin for the requests!
That’s right, it’s Birthday Boi’s Choice once again, and RJ has selected two songs that we’ve discussed before… but only behind a paywall. John Legend’s 2018 original “Bring Me Love” is a strong contender for a new Christmas radio standard, and Sia’s 2017 album closer “Underneath the Christmas Lights” is an ethereal experience to savor.
DO NOT @ US
RJ and Ian are back, and just in time for Halloween! This week, in our annual spooky episode, we tackle our first Halloween winter song (and also revisit the world of Homestar Runner) with “Decomposing Pumpkins” by Brainkrieg. Then, we discuss “It’s Halloween (A Christmas Song)” by Randy Brooks, as well as the troubling revelation that the man responsible for bringing “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” into the world might also be funny sometimes, the implications of which we’re not even remotely prepared to consider.
This week’s ranking music was “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker Jr. and the special intro and outro music was “I Put a Spell on You” by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.
Thank you to Travis for these requests!
This week on HARK, it’s Canadian Thanksgiving, and while we’re always thankful for all of our listeners, we’re feeling particularly thankful for the ones who live north of the U.S. border. To celebrate, we cover two songs suggested by a long-time Canadian listener making his first request. “Jacob Marley’s Chain” by Aimee Mann is interesting, if only vaguely Christmas-related, and “Jack Gets Up” by Leo Kottke is perhaps even more interesting (and perhaps even less Christmas-related).
The ranking music this week is “Springtime” by Jeffrey Lewis.
Thank you to Ben for the requests!
The ranking music this week is “Eight Candles (A Song for Hanukkah)” by Dave Koz.
