17th Annual Holiday Hub

The seventeenth annual Holiday Hub, Monday, December 20, 2021 6-8pm MST on 91.3FM KXCI Tucson, AZ. Stream at www.KXCI.org

For the past seventeen seasons, good old Saint Nick has combed through the musical landscape searching for the most unusual seasonal tunes.

Songs of summer come and go. Once-ubiquitous hits of the past are relegated to “throwback” playlists. Year-end album lists codify the past and clear the slate for the future. But Holiday music is timeless. It is a musical genre full of good cheer mostly. This musical aesthetic and its warm vibes extend beyond the year round pop and rock. These are Holiday songs, cutting across genres and decades. Songs that elbow their way through the dross to enshrine themselves in the Christmas-music canon, cementing what would otherwise be long-forgotten music trends into a shared, classic holiday remembrance.

So kick off your boots, put an ornament on the tree, fire up a mug of mulled wine and enjoy The Holiday Hub this Monday December 20^th 6-8pm. Ho ho ho.

Microwave ovens use non-ionizing radiation that has a frequency between that of radio and infrared wavelengths. Unlike X-rays, which use ionizing radiation, and can be harmful, the non-ionizing radiation from microwaves is safe. A process called dielectric heating allows water, fat, and other substances to absorb energy. Molecules in these substances are electric dipoles, meaning they have a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other. The molecules move as they try to align themselves in a microwave, which creates heat.
