Listen to the marathon at 103.3 fm WPRB or by clicking here.
If you’re in the terrestrial broadcast radius, tuning in via an actual radio is preferable so as to not keep those far away from accessing the web stream.
The 2021 Xmas Playlist will be updated throughout the program at wprb.com. You can find the Live Listener Chat there too!
Ski Patrol are a band from London, Canada including Imogen Wasse (vocals), Kerry Kijewski (lyrics), Alex Rolston (Percussion) and Brian Kijewski: (acoustic + electric guitar, bass and synth).
George Korein and the Spleen – “Upsot Bells”
George Korein was born in a Wawa in Philadelphia and still lives in Philadelphia in a Wawa. He makes songs that mostly have singing and “and the Spleen” rhymes with Korein. A lot of the music is made almost alone but some is made with awesome musicians he won’t list here because that would be name dropping. People ask “What kind of music do you make?” and he still hasn’t worked up the pomp to say “Art Pop.” This was his second of two 2020 marathon pieces.
Seth Herzog – “Christmas Story”
Mr. Seth Herzog is a comedian and actor, who is currently a regular sketch performer and the resident comedian for NBC’s “Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon,” and formerly of “Late Night.”
He is the producer and host of the much-beloved, long-running downtown NYC comedy showcase “Sweet.”
Michael T. Fournier is Policymaker. Mike is also the drummer/songwriter of Dead Trend, and the author of Double Nickels on the Dime (33.3/Bloomsbury) and, most recently, Swing State (Three Rooms Press). He lives in Western Massachusetts. Get in the van!
Deth Elf – “Xmas 2020”
Deth Elf continue to be the pride of Lansdale, Pennsylvania. This was their second of two 2020 pieces.
Sebastian Petsu – “Long Strands of Light”
A third piece in as many years by Philadelphia’s Sebastian Petsu. The trio of recordings are on his Bandcamp page as the “Three Christmas Waves EP.”
Taxi Vision started as Matteo Battistini’s project, playing around Brooklyn combining punk rock songform with rhythms drawing on highlife and disco. “Xmas on the PATH Train” is a tribute to a commute to and from Newark, New Jersey written by Chester Dubov and Matteo Battistini.
ANDEMIC – “Posi Xmas”
ANDEMIC is the solo work of Andy Williams, guitarist and vocalist of the band Lefty’s Deceiver and a number of other Philadelphia-based collaborations. He currently resides in Los Angeles and makes music in his attic when the mood strikes.
Joel RL Phelps – “Underneath The Tree”
Canada’s Joel Phelps is a member of The Downer Trio. Joel is the only artist to record a “Christmas Story” every year since this tradition began. Demos and new recordings of his have been posted on Soundcloud, with the majority of his studio output available through Bandcamp.
South Bend, Indiana‘s The Rutabega – singer-songwriter-guitarist Josh Hensley and drummer Garth Mason – make some of the fullest, brightest sounds ever generated by just two people, weaving punchy, short pop songs and sweeping, ten-minute epics together seamlessly. This is either their sixth or seventh contribution to the marathon depending on who is counting. Why are you counting? Stop counting!
Jon & Maggie mic break!
Finally, during the 2020 edition of the 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show on 103.3 fm WPRB, my daughter Maggie joined me on-mic for her annual appearance. You can hear us here.

May these works encourage you to record something for this year.
There is still time!
You can explore the complete archive of stories recorded from 2011-2020 here.
The Brixton Riot – “Lockdown Holiday”
Combining American and English influences, New Jersey’s The Brixton Riot fuses elements of 70’s power-pop and punk, 80’s jangle-rock and 90’s indie rock into a sound that is both familiar and distinct. The Replacements, Big Star and The Jam represent only a small fraction of their influences. This is their seventh contribution to the marathon! Incredible.
Deth Elf – “Christmas On Venus”
Deth Elf remain the pride of Lansdale, Pennsylvania. This was their first of two 2020 pieces.
Glazer – “Deathwish for Christmas”
Blending components of post-pop and hard-grunge, New Jersey’s Glazer strives to compose music that is not only ambitious in form, but thoughtful, powerful, and driving in execution. Any and all proceeds go directly to Elijah’s Promise Soup Kitchen in New Brunswick, NJ.
Outer World – “Arc & Bow”
Richmond, Virginia duo Outer World create beautiful bedroom chamber pop that’s fresh as a new year, bursting with hope.
Maria T. – “11:59 It’s January”
A cover of a wonderful Scrawl song by WPRB’s own Maria T., last heard in the Philly-based band No Other.
Doug Gillard’s formidable body of recordings is as impressive as it is voluminous, encompassing his work as a key member of such notable combos as Guided by Voices, Death of Samantha, Cobra Verde, Gem and Nada Surf, as well as an array of notable collaborations with the likes of Richard Buckner, My Dad Is Dead, Yuji Oniki, Bill Fox, The Mice, Mascott and Sally Crewe & the Sudden Moves. Parade On, the Ohio-bred, New York-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist’s third official solo album, was released in 2014. This song was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
Sinead OnDonner – “This Is a Christmas Song”
A seasonal update on Sinéad O’Connor’s classic “This is a Rebel Song.” Of course it’s all in fun, but both songs take a similar stance: that being open to tenderness is in itself a liberatory act. Recorded by your friends in the West Philly Players.
The Kyle Sowashes – “Why Do You Say Merry Christmas”
A new holiday tune by four bearded buddies from Columbus, Ohio who like to drive and eat and rock. Hear more about The Kyle Sowashes here.
You can read his 2020 Xmas marathon piece in full here.
Peter Prescott – “Snoflake”
A soundscape by Peter Prescott, who is a member of Mission Of Burma, Volcano Suns, Kustomized, The Peer Group and more recently the trio Minibeast.
Duke Tropicana – “Season’s Greetings”
Duke Tropicana is a traveling troubadour with a hash house heart and a bindlestiff’s bundle full of beans.
Hirudidae – “Dark Xmas”
A foggy, slow motion swarm of bees with a rhythm you can dance to from Philadelphia. That’s Hirudidae, performing a L.A.S.’s Crime cover for the holidays.
George Korein and the Spleen – “Wenceslas Rap”
George Korein was born in a Wawa in Philadelphia and still lives in Philadelphia in a Wawa. He makes songs that mostly have singing and “and the Spleen” rhymes with Korein. A lot of the music is made almost alone but some is made with awesome musicians he won’t list here because that would be name dropping. People ask “What kind of music do you make?” and he still hasn’t worked up the pomp to say “Art Pop.”
Eusa Bells – “The AMM of Jingle Bell Rock“
Who else but Neal Markowski could create a Dead C(hristmas) Tribute Album – four Dead C songs with updated lyrics about spending time with your family during the holidays. All funds get donated straight to Planned Parenthood.

All your favorites all back for year 33 of THE MARATHON!
Because…
The 2021 edition of my 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show on 103.3 fm WPRB will start on Christmas Eve at 5:00 pm ET and run until Christmas Day at 6:00 pm ET.
This year’s marathon will again happen LIVE FROM HOME, broadcast from my dining room table in place of the studios.
For each of the last 10 years I have asked a number of friends, musicians, comedians and others that I admired to record their definition of an original “Christmas story” to be interspersed hourly throughout my marathon, alongside other annual favorites.
This addition has brought a new level of excitement to the program and made the tradition all the more special.
For year XXXIII, I’m again counting on YOU!
I’m not going to list all the amazing people who have recorded pieces in the past this time out. You know the score and can listen to past favorites here.
The deadline for 2021 is Monday, December 20th.
What is a Christmas Story?
Well…it can be a reading of a favorite Xmas tale, a cover of a holiday song you love or an original piece.
I leave that in your hands.
I’d love to receive so many recordings that I can once again debut one of these an hour throughout the marathon.
My lone request is that you do not post your piece elsewhere before it airs during the show! Please! Afterwards go nuts, just mention the show when you do share on Bandcamp / Soundcloud / Quibi / etc.
Please spread the word and have a safe holiday season.
