Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2015. Our next list is from Record Fair Co-Director Jenna Chapman. A list of albums that I wasn't mad about not being able to extract from my broken car stereo, in no particular order, with superlatives... |
Tyler Clark presents: Local Mythologies writes25 Off-The-Wall Holiday Tunes: The Descendants, “Christmas Vacation” (1985)
It's Christmas at CHIRP Radio, and we're looking for a cure for the common carol. Instead of bending to the will of the average 24-hour holiday muzak stations, we're spending the season unearthing a bunch of winter-approved tunes that you probably haven't heard for a while (or maybe even ever).

History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme - several of the records on my list take their sound and inspiration from past Rock eras. My top album, in fact, is directly from a brief, glorious bygone time of Chicago Dance music. A famous TV gangster once said that “remember when” is the lowest form of conversation.
