Kaleidoscopic Soul / Kristin Star presents:
Hello,
I hope everyone is having a great December and is getting ready for Christmas. Tonight we are playing some classic R &B vibes to get the mood right. The last hour I will be playing a Christmas R & B mix that should be lots of fun. The question of the night is, “What do you want for Christmas?” I will share what I want during the show. Remember, you can get WRIR shirts from Circle Thrift and Plan 9 Records. Enjoy the night and get those Christmas gits together! ~ One Love. Kristin Star

The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit / Nighttime Maneuvers presents:
Hey Listeners,
This my 17th holiday season on the air. Some years I would play holiday music two or even three weeks leading up to Christmas. Now that I’m alternating weeks I will confine the holiday tunes to the Monday before Christmas – 12/23!
Well, what to play this week? I also used to do a holiday gift show and highlight new releases, new boxed sets, and classic boxed sets and other music that would make a great gift for your loved ones.
But with everyone listening to music on various streaming platforms the gift of music seems to be passé. Bummer. I loved getting and giving music, but so many people I know no longer have a way to play CDs and many have not made their way back to vinyl.
Fear not, if there are music lovers on your holiday list I suggest giving music books – there are thousands of titles and the make great gifts. Here is a short list of ideas.
• How Women Made Music
• But Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow: An Oral History of the 60s Girl Groups
• 33 1/3 series
• 1967
• Trouble Boys
• The Man from Muscle Shoals – Rick Hall
• Music is History
• Life
• The Beatles – Bob Spitz
• Country Soul
• Without Getting Killed or Caught
• The Last Train from Memphis
• Euphoric Recall
And mor local you could buy Andrew Cothern’s (WRIR’s own) RVA Playlist which has just been released as a 2nd edition in hardback or perhaps the Richmond Folk Festival book that came out this year to celebrate the 20th year. Or how about Rich Tarbell’s Regarding Charlottesville Music? Or one of the Under the Table and Screaming zines from UVA’s WTJU.
Tons of choices – or just got to a local record store and buy their t-shirt or and other merch they have for sale.
Meanwhile, at the very top of my list How Women Made Music. It’s a great read and that will be the subject of my show this Monday night. I can’t play them all but you might enjoy checking out these lists:

Thanks for listening.

Banji Kaicho presents:
Having a good time reconnecting with the jazz dj in me, so get ready for another Japanese Jazz showtime to kick off a rollercoaster of a week. Tune in 1pm-3 on @wrir97.3fm and wrir.org for some rad actions and outro tempos. This set is also dedicated to Aketagawa-san and all the good souls we’ve recently lost. 🥀🎷
