LOVE this BB Xmas song!!
I love that about Brian Wilson production anyway, what I call the "sleigh bells on the beach" vibe.

HI Therese! Hi listeners! Happy holiday season to everyone!

I ran out tonight to get a midnight snack from the corner store and I could have worn just a t-shirt instead of just a light sweater.

I know! It's crazy warm down here as well! Possibly a record warm.

I drank from a newly-opened bottle of Bowmore 12 year old Scotch tonight, so I'll toast L'chaim!

@Therese: I am looking forward to seeing if Chewbacca (1) wears a jacket or (2) rips somebody’s arm off in the new “Star Wars.”
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:52am
Matt from Springfield:

A vest-jacket, right? Open front, with the arms exposed?
And yes, single-gesture arm-rips would definitely seal the deal.
  1:54am
JakeGould:

@MattfromSpringfield: I don’t know what kind of jacket Chewbacca might wear, but I want him in a jacket. And I here the way he rips an arm off is Rey (the girl) gets her gun taken away from her by some alien, and Chewbacca rips off the alien’s arm and gives her the arm with the gun back. If that happens… I’m screaming!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:54am
Therese:

I thought that Wookiies only ripped arms off if they lose at space chess?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:55am
Matt from Springfield:

Oooh! Is this from a Joe McG "Joe" premium?
  1:57am
JakeGould:

@Therese: Yeah, they said that in the first movie but maybe it’s space chess related. Like Rey is playing space chess, she wins, an alien gets pissed and takes her gun and Chewbacca growls and rips the arm off. It’s completely conceivable.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57am
Therese:

It is! Joe McGasko makes awesome Christmas compilations.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:59am
Matt from Springfield:

Woohoo! Joe McG has great taste anyhow, glad he included a good soul cut for his comp!

I look forward to such Chewy justice.

@Matt: In one scene in the trailers, Chewbacca clearly has a new messenger bag and in one scene a bandage on his right arm. So hey.

@Therese: You are going to deny your nephew that extended Sy Snootles blues bar yacht rock sequence in the revamped “Return of the Jedi.”

The "Happy Xmas" single b/w this is prob the greatest John/Yoko single pairing ever. In terms of context it's as good as any John/Paul Beatles 45.
"Happy Xmas" b/w "Snow is Falling"
"War Is Over" b/w "Peace Is Here"
War Is Over (If You Want It) b/w Peace Is Here (If You Want It)
It's *beautiful*, i tell ya! :D

JakeGould:

I actually sat down this past summer to write down some childhood memories and wrote down my memories of seeing all of the original “Star Wars” films in a movie theater. My memories of “Return of the Jedi” were basically… “What is this crap?” The second that guy with the head tentacles (Bib Fortuna) met R2-D2 and C3P0 in Jabba’s palace and said, “De wanga wanga” I couldn’t take the film seriously anymore. youtu.be...

JakeGould:

@Ken: Do you mean 24 Volts? Or 24 Watts? Because as far as tons of consumer computer tech goods go, it seems tons of AC adapters are 12 Volts at 2 Amps… Aka… 24 Watts. You could probably go to any thrift store and rifle through the cable and transformer bin to find at least one 12 Volt/2 Amp AC adapter.

@Jake - It's 24VAC at 2 Amps. The part that puzzles me is how the tree part of decoration was in its box up in the attic and the transformer was in a pile of random electronics down in the basement. At least they're reunited now and I can make sure they stay together for next year.
