WLOY’s 12 Days Of Christmas Music

December 22nd, 2018 by WLOY Staff

Five more days people! Here’s day nine of WLOY’S 12 Days of Christmas Music:

John Devecka, Operations Manager

“I’m torn because it depends on the mood, but all of these are necessary for me:

Merry Christmas Baby – Otis Redding (the man could sing a Chinese menu and make it kill

Father Christmas – The Kinks (snarky working-class rock classic)

Christmas in Hollis – Run-DMC (If you don’t enjoy this, re-evaluate everything)

I also just realized they came out in 1967, 1977, 1987… now I have to find a decent 1997 release to expand my horizons

They should all be played by everyone”

WLOY’s 12 Days Of Christmas Music

December 19th, 2018 by WLOY Staff

It’s day six of WLOY’s 12 Days of Christmas Music and this one’s a double whammy!

Tara Howell, General Manager

“I have 2 because I can’t pick and I’m the worst.

My favorite traditional Christmas song is ‘Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24’ by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

I don’t care what anyone says – this song goes HARD. I always just think of it as a kind-of metal Christmas song, which I love.

My other favorite is ‘Christmas Eve/Pierceton Queen’ by Chase Huglin.

This song is so cute, and my lil emo heart lives for it. It’s not a traditional Christmas pick, but I feel like it exemplifies the season perfectly in the sound of the song. I just remember listening to this a lot in my car when I was driving last winter.”
