Irwin Chusid - Santa Claus is Coming to Town (lo-fi mp3)

By WFMU dj and bon vivant Irwin Chusid, whom music geeks know as the man to credit (or blame) for helping revive interest in lounge music and with popularizing audio's "outsider artists" (though he might kill me for saying so). You can read more about Irwin and his projects at WFMU.

This mp3 = VERY LO-FI; fear not: the version on our CD is higher quality. This recording © 1982 Irwin Chusid, all rights reserved.
