Eclectic Pop

This Friday (Dec 18), a brand new playlist will premiere on #RKC. 35 songs will comprise the latest Eclectic Selection line-up.  A sprinkling of Christmas music previously played favorites and a few new picks will be among the selections, sending the year off in melodic surrender. Below you will find the complete playlist (in order of airplay), the artist, the song and the social media links for you to connect with the featured artists further.

“Krampus” is an odd movie, which owes most of its idiosyncrasy to its attempt at merging two incredibly disparate genres with distinctly opposing tones: the genial, family friendly nature of Christmas movies and the disorienting mayhem of horror. In “Krampus”, the outcome of these hot and cold genres colliding is a thunderstorm of filmmaking.

The Blacklist signed off on the fall portion of its third season’s 2015 run with an episode that took several unexpected detours, the most significant being Red’s abduction at the hands of a gang of highway bandits who attempted to barter him for a hefty payoff. Not seeing the mechanics of how on earth Red was taken by a band of hooligans as inept as the ones depicted, made the storyline difficult to buy into.

Plus, who would’ve expected that after 8 episodes spent with Liz and Red on the run evading federal authorities, their undoing would be a caravan of crazies? It’s unclear if it was the jarring nature of their introduction or just the set up to begin with, that made the plot twist hard to accept.
