I permanently removed 93.9 from my radio presets 10 years ago so I don’t need to hear any of that shit.

I’ve been listening to it the last few days for [del]penance[/del]research to hear the wide variety of holiday tunes out there…and if I never here Jimmy Durante, Burl Ives or Gene Autry again it will be too soon. This station has played those three at least five times each since 7am this morning-ugh!

So did 97.1, only they started back on about November 10th. It’s normally an oldies station and one of my presets in the car, but I tune them out until Jan 1 each year.

93.9 FM in Chicagoland is the place to be for all-Christmas music.

This sounds like my gripe. There are 2 holiday music stations on my satellite radio and every time I try either one of them it is a slow, somber song that does not make my spirit bright. Even when they throw in a newer song, it is some R&B singer over emoting to a churchy sounding hymn.

Is it the Jerrod Niemann one from a couple of years ago? He’s a country singer.

Nope. The one I’m hearing is some young dude trying to channel Perry Como.

Just found it-Michael Bublé.

If you really want suck, have a listen to Diana Krall (who I actually like) trying to croak carols on her album from a few years ago. Bad idea.

My Christmas music requirements:

I need to hear that one real popular song by Trans Siberian Orchestra (Sarajevo something) once or twice. Then, I’m done. Shut that shit OFF!
