Each year at this time hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot of the Sound Opinions podcast welcome offbeat holiday music enthusiast Andy Cirzan for the show's annual holiday music spectacular, and this year's terrific show is now available for your listening enjoyment (see link below). Cirzan's main gig is as a concert promoter for Jam Productions, but after hours he searches the thrift shops and used record bins looking for rare and long-forgotten holiday records to feature on his legendary annual Christmas compilations. Yes, Andy's been circulating his holiday mixes far longer than I have, and his mailing list includes some of the biggest names in entertainment. In fact, it was Andy and fellow enthusiast Eddie Gorodetsky who inspired my own foray into holiday mixing nearly 20 years ago.
Sound Opinions is a weekly discussion about pop culture for music lovers that appears online and on various NPR and other radio stations throughout the country. The show is distributed by PRX. and part of the Patreon community.
The annual holiday spectacular is typically a friendly, laid-back affair and this year's episode doesn't disappoint. Cirzan's mix for 2022 is titled "The Reindeer Sessions: Further Adventures in Holiday Obscura," and he shares six super tracks on the podcast. Andy's mixes are a highly anticipated part of my holiday celebrations. Hope you enjoy them, too!
