Let the Record Show, the crate-dug interview series in which artists discuss their favorite songs of all time as the tracks spin on vinyl, finishes its marathon third season today with the biggest celebrity of all time, Santa Claus. After a no-show from Las Vegas resident Celine Dion, hosts Mike Pizzo and Warren Peace found themselves in a predicament, without a guest for the episode. Luckily Santa Claus, bearing a gold sack of vinyl treats, showed up just in time to fill the guest spot. Santa commended the boys for sharing musical knowledge all year long with Let the Record Show, but in this episode brings some of his favorite holiday records, showcasing oddball pressings of beloved classics like Run DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis”, Band Aid “Do They Know It’s Christmas”, and Outkast “Player’s Ball”, among others. Santa impresses the hosts with extensive, encyclopedic musical knowledge for every song discussed in the episode.
