At this point, the debate over whether “Wonderful Christmastime” is grating or whether it’s worthy of airtime beyond the month (or, let’s be honest, three) it’s been beamed into every public space over the past 40 years has gotten tense enough that it may be best to avoid it if possible. Which is why FLOOD FM’s annual “Cool Yule Xmas” aims to sidestep that and similar conversations (hello, Mariah) to offer an alternative to the standard holiday pop canon.
Kicking off this Sunday, December 17, and running through the end of the year, FLOOD FM will be bringing you an eclectic mix of alternative holiday hits spanning indie, punk, hip-hop, soul, R&B, folk, electronic music, and beyond, from brand new seasonal tunes by the likes of Ladytron, Bright Eyes, and Suki Waterhouse to classics by Run-DMC, Ramones, and The Beach Boys. Soundtrack your holiday by tuning in to FLOOD FM here.
