Reclaiming Holiday Music

Soundcheck | Dec 3, 2010

It’s time to reclaim holiday music from the tyranny of department-store Muzak, relentless carolers, and 24/7 radio stations. Fred Schneider of The B-52s joins us to talk about how we can improve holiday music. And he shares his own contribution, a new album called “Destination… Christmas!” recorded with his side project, The Superions.
