Listener comments!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:03am Chuck:

Morning! How else were you ever gonna get this one in, except with no theme...

Thu. 12/24/09 6:04am Meghan:

I figured it was only appropriate due to me playing this a year ago.....

Thu. 12/24/09 6:07am Chuck:

Last show of the year too... Don't know what to expect from you today... With a theme I could at least take a guess, now I have no idea what you're gonna play! Should be a fun one!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:08am Meghan:

We got one more! The Dead People show.... Yeah i am not sure what i am going to play either.... something happy

Thu. 12/24/09 6:11am Chuck:

Ooops! I forgot about New Year's eve.... I'm just thinking about getting through this week... Wing it, kiddo!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:12am jeff p:

Have a great show! we're just heading out of town. Merry CHRISTmas, everyone, esp the cantankerous Jew!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:13am Meghan:

Awwww Thanks Jeff! the Jew says thanks Thanks Jeff, you dirty bastard!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:13am jeff p:

Thu. 12/24/09 6:14am Rodri:

HI! good 24/12

Thu. 12/24/09 6:15am Chuck:

I always liked "Happy Non-sectarian Holiday"... hehe... Everybody's covered then...

Thu. 12/24/09 6:16am Meghan:

Good Morning Rodri! Happy Day before... before what... we don't know, but happy Thursday!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:18am Dave B:

Let the Airing of Grievances commence!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:19am Chuck:

That dould actually turn into the theme of the show, Dave!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:22am Dave B:

Good morning! Festivus Theme, HA!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:25am Chuck:

Putting anything on your pet is stupid, Jess! Why do people do that? The animal doesn't care what day it is! They don't have calanders...

Thu. 12/24/09 6:29am Chuck:

I just know my cat, G'Kar, wouldn't permit it...

Thu. 12/24/09 6:31am Rodri:

happy thay before!!! before tomorrow!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:33am Dave B:

Would "Boxing Day" be the the English version of "Feats of Strength"?

Thu. 12/24/09 6:41am Chuck:

Not too many opportunities to play ethnic stuff, Meg... Is that why you're taking advantage now?

Thu. 12/24/09 6:46am Chuck:

Well that leaves Leonard Cohen out of this show then! Ha!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:54am Dave B:

here's one for next week - Billy Mays autotuned tribute!

http://www.dirpy.com/studio/uK_7DL4ak30

Thu. 12/24/09 6:55am Meghan:

Oh wow..... scary!

Thu. 12/24/09 6:58am Chuck:

That guy was just plain annoying...

Thu. 12/24/09 6:59am Cheri Pi:

No theme!? You're messing with my mind!

Thu. 12/24/09 7:00am Meghan:

I know! I am equally messing with my mind as well... so no worries....

Thu. 12/24/09 7:00am Dave B:

indeed he was...

OK - how about this then. Soupy Sales "Do The Mouse"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP1_F9zEF7o#t=3m15s

Run that thru dirpy.com to extract the audio as an MP3

Thu. 12/24/09 7:00am Rodri:

I love Ultra vivid Scene Thkns for that song!!! all rev is perfect!

Thu. 12/24/09 7:04am Meghan:

Thank Rodri.... I know! I had that album on tape and FINALLY got it on CD...

Thu. 12/24/09 7:05am Derek in DC:

I always thought Billy Mays was hot. The perfect bear-type.

Thu. 12/24/09 7:06am Meghan:

My landlord is a bear....

Thu. 12/24/09 7:06am Chuck:

What did he die of anyway? He wasn't really old...

Thu. 12/24/09 7:06am Dave B:

Meghan - start digging for this gem:

Ed McMahon -
http://www.showmehowtoplay.com/artist/Ed_McMahon/albums/?key=&album_id=R000730065

Thu. 12/24/09 7:08am Dave B:

Chuck - I think it was a cocaine induced heart attack or something

Thu. 12/24/09 7:08am Meghan:

Wow, go Dave go!

Thu. 12/24/09 7:10am Chuck:

Coke explains his "in yer face" style of selling I guess... Figures...

Thu. 12/24/09 7:13am Chuck:

Meghan, you'll have to play Jim Carrol Bands "People Who Died" next week... It's appropriate on two counts...

Thu. 12/24/09 7:13am Cheri Pi:

Dear Santa, if you're reading this I would really like the Flying Nun 25th anniversary box set.

Thu. 12/24/09 7:14am Meghan:

Oh Dear Santa- if you are handing out box sets.... send one here too!

Thu. 12/24/09 7:17am Dave B:

"Together Wherever We Go" from the Gypsy Original Soundtrack (1962 film) has Karl Malden singing...

Thu. 12/24/09 7:23am Dave B:

And you MUST play at least 1 Ventures song next week.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Bogle

Thu. 12/24/09 7:26am Dave B:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUQFAq-EFTA

More power to you, Jess, if you've got time off... I'll be working all through this so called "holiday"...

Thu. 12/24/09 7:30am Dave B:

Thanks again Dave! Hopefully I'll pull those songs onto your server as well! have a great holiday!

Thu. 12/24/09 7:42am Jefe:

Thu. 12/24/09 7:44am Jefe:

I must have good taste.

Thu. 12/24/09 7:45am tony:

This is EXACTLY why I tune in. I'm wrapping presents in a snowy England and you're playing the best version of "Move on Up"!
