Mr. Mike's Merry Mix: Our annual review of quirky holiday songs

<p>This week on <em>Under the Radar</em>:</p> <p>It’s our annual spinning of holiday tunes with <a href="https://twitter.com/thatwilkinsguy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mike Wilkins</a>, radio engineer for PRX and GBH’S <em>The World</em>.</p> <p>Wilkins shares his new picks of old songs that are quirky, weird and sometimes way out there — not the traditional carols from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir or even new traditional favorites like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”</p> <p>Wilkins' compilation of songs-you-never-heard-of include the vinyl one-hit-wonders he rescued from the forgotten bins of overlooked B-sides, and a few newer tunes that might become classics.</p> <p>This season, for his 33rd year of Jingle bell melodies, Mike honors his mixtape history with “Mr. Mike's Merry Mix 2022,” a Yuletopia recording.
