You’ve made the list, we have of course checked it twice. We are ready to play the top 100 holiday songs of all time as determined by the Mushroom Crowd in 2022. Fun guy Damo McMorrow begins the festive fun at 7 AM Eastern, noon in the UK. We’ve heard that some people for whom it’s a bit early are even setting alarms and we really appreciate that. One listener told us today that this has now become a part of their holiday tradition. That’s an honour.

After you've enjoyed Mushroom FM's annual holiday countdown, tomorrow morning from 07:00 AM to 05:00 PM tomorrow afternoon, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
Winter begins next Wednesday, the day it so happens that The Early Years replays on Mushroom FM. To honour the season, I'll play winter songs in hour 1.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies The Polar Express from 2004, The Santa Clause from 1994, and the Story of Santa Claus from 1996.

Voting is closing at 11:59 PM Eastern time tonight for our holiday countdown. Every year, we get frantic messages from a listener or two who forgot to vote and really really really wants to. Unfortunately, we can't make exceptions. Once the votes are closed, they are closed. The reason for this is that once listeners have built the chart, work begins immediately on putting the countdown together, so it's ready to go live at 7 AM Eastern this Saturday.

The "Juke In The Back" focuses on the " soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.

There’s still time to vote in Mushroom FM’s holiday countdown and to receive an invitation to our Christmas party. But time is running out rapidly with votes closing this Thursday at 11:59 PM North American Eastern Time.
