From the Exploding Head Archives, this episode from 2013 celebrates the holidays in its own loopy fashion. This predates a single film theme, opting to hop around a fair bit. This includes the highly undocumented yet required December listening version of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas that aired on CBC radio some 30 years ago. Merry Crimble one and dang y'all! 01! George Slater: The Wassail Song (Peace Tower Christmas/Carillon Noël, 1979) Tapestry 02! gak: XHM #195 - Kindness to animals and your buddies (Exploding Head Movies, 2013) CITR 03! Dorothy Remsen: Variations Pastorales Sur un Vieux Noël (Harpist, 1967) Avant Extracting the true playlist will take some time since the originally filed sheets have been mangled from a prior version of the station's web server and my last draft of the script had many missing details that I likely filled in live 10 years ago. For now, roll with it and let the gift that this show is be unwrapped by your ears until I dig into the archives properly. radiofreegak@gmail.com www.citr.ca/exploding-head-movies https://mas.to/@100aire
