Mr. Mike's Merry Mix: Our annual review of quirky holiday songs

This week on Under the Radar:

It’s our annual spinning of holiday tunes with Mike Wilkins , radio engineer for PRX and GBH’S The World.

Wilkins shares his new picks of old songs that are quirky, weird and sometimes way out there — not the traditional carols from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir or even new traditional favorites like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

Wilkins' compilation of songs-you-never-heard-of include the vinyl one-hit-wonders he rescued from the forgotten bins of overlooked B-sides, and a few newer tunes that might become classics.

This season, for his 33rd year of Jingle bell melodies, Mike honors his mixtape history with “Mr. Mike's Merry Mix 2022,” a Yuletopia recording. Stream his full playlist below or direct on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/seenthat/mikemas2022
