Old School Special: CHRISTMAS IN HELL

Christmas in Hell 1994!

Holiday on Fire, The 30th Anniversary!!

As you might have realized, Professor Mikey’s audio archives run deep and strange. From the time I could hold a cassette microphone up to the radio speaker, I’ve been piecing together mixtapes to give my friends at Christmas. 

I haven’t mailed out CDs in the last couple of years because people don’t have CD players anymore. But that’s okay, we have the always reliable interweb.

“Christmas in Hell” made its debut on tape in 1994. I did a refresh in 2014, and this year it’s coming up as a Professor Mikey Old School podcast. It’s a fiery and fun trip through snow melting from brimstone. When I opened with Spinal Tap’s “Christmas with the Devil” it was so radical and new. Also that year I discovered Bob Rivers, who after all this time still doesn’t get a lot of airplay because everything these days can offend anybody. So I apologize to everybody including Bob Rivers and Adele Dazeem.

So here I am, sending out a different mix tape to all my friends. Thanks to everybody who has subscribed to the podcast this year, both as a podcast and as an offering on YouTube. As I write this I don’t know if the latter is going to block any of the songs.  But you can always subscribe, give free holiday subscriptions, and turn up the speakers to beat the devil.

But your are there and listening, and that’s what it’s all about, Alfie.

Enjoy your trip through Dante’s least favorite holiday theme park. 

And Merry Christmas!

Professor Mikey
