Here’s this week’s links/videos/items of interest based on topics discussed during last night’s radio show. Above, the trailer for the Fishbone documentary that Maria T. introduced me to earlier today…
…which led me to play “? (Modern Industry)” during the program. Look for WPRB’s call letters 1:37 in. I remember this being something of a big deal at the time.
RIP Beth Case of She-Haw. If you would like to listen to their 2004 WPRB live session, you can do so here.
Finally, listen to the promo for this year’s 24-Hour Holiday Radio Show.

I was asked back on WNYC’s national morning program The Takeaway earlier today, talking “great great” and “terrible great” Christmas music in advance of this coming Saturday’s 24-Hour Holiday Radio Show. You can listen to my appearance here.
Hello December!
I wanted to give several weeks’ warning that I will be doing my 24th Annual 24-Hour Holiday Radio Show on 103.3 fm WPRB / wprb.com starting this Christmas Eve at 6:00 pm ET until Christmas day at 6:00 pm ET.
If you would like to submit music for airplay or make some requests, by all means get in touch.
I will now pull something in my back moving records up from the basement, as is tradition.
You can RSVP for the show on Facebook.
The studio webcam and live listener chat will go live here come the afternoon of December 24th.
Thanks.
Happy Holidays (eventually)!
Jon Solomon
