Jingle Bells — The 6.5 hour long (almost) bonanza
This fabulous compilation came from WFMU's Ed Special many years ago. It sounds like hell, but it's a surprisingly listenable hell. Give it a try - not two minutes, but 10-20, maybe half an hour. Before you know it you have gone through it. Everything under the sun: The original, in French, Azerbadjani, British English, Swedish, Swahili (maybe - I don't know, there's plenty languages). Every style imaginable - rock, pop, classical, jazz, techno, gospel - there's something for absolutely everyone. Thanks to WFMU and Ed for making this gem of madness available to the world. Why not donate to them while you're at it?
We used to play this on repeat at KIOSK every Xmas (and what a repetitious repeat it was) and we still didn't get sick of it for several days. You can download these jolly hours as one humongeous mp3 if you wish, or you could add it to your podcast app by adding by url: https://jinglebells.kioskkiosk.com/feed.xml
Click a part to start, lean back, and enjoy the next 6.5 hours...
