Radio - Sunday, December 21st, 2014

Pete from Hits and Misses has a love for the novelty of punk christmas songs. Some of this novelty wore off on Dave from Dirty BS. This is the second year in a row that Dave has hosted the christmas special on EXD bringing songs that haven't aired before or in a while. He also played a Bishops Green song that Pete requested last year, which is sort of a haunting from the ghost of x-mss show's in the past. There was lots of back story to the songs chosen in the spirit of story telling that comes with this part of the year. The Angry Snowmans do a tribute to the Subhumans. N.O.E. that does a German version of the Pointed Sticks "Out of Luck" in a Christmas carol. Here is the entire playlist for the show. You can download an MP3 version of the show here.
