You can run, but short of a hermitage or a sensory-deprivation tank, there's no hiding from holiday music this time of year. Still, if the 98th iteration of "Winter Wonderland" makes you want to turn a blow-dryer on that stupid Parson Brown snowman, take comfort in two alternatives. One is "Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour," streamed live on the Web via WFUV, the Fordham University station in the Bronx.
The two-hour radio special includes Dylan reading " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas," plus his own music selections, including Bob Seger's "Sock It to Me Santa" and Johnny Paycheck's "Jingle Bells." (7-9 p.m.
Monday, .) Closer to home is the eclectic "Shake and Bake" show on KFAI, where DJs Nite Nurse Tony Paul will be playing holiday music filtered through New Orleans jazz, James Brown, Jackson 5 and Cuban holiday salsa mixes, among others. (1-3 p.
m. Monday, 90.3 FM in Minneapolis, 106.
