RoCM Christmas Playlist: 23 Dec 2023
So happy holidays, everyone. Personally, my family celebrates Christmas but in the most secular of ways possible – and the music selection this week resembles that sentiment.
As promised, here is the full video of William S. Burroughs’ “A Junky’s Christmas” – as produced by Francis Ford Coppola.
And here is the full playlist for this week. Don’t forget that you can listen online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online archive available for two weeks after the show airs.
