	1:35pm Andres: The Guitars annual tradition is the part that brings a happy tear to my neighbour’s eye.
	1:35pm DJ Guin 🧛‍♂️: could the Whirling Dervishes 'hit' be in the future? or is that too WCBS?

	♥ 1:40pm Chris Crash: RUSTY 🙄
	1:45pm DJ Guin 🧛‍♂️: So my overnighted COVID test is having its label printed. Should have been here already. The State of NJ would screw up a one car funeral procession.

	1:57pm Andres: I had to make a call, was put on hold and Mariah came on. Of course!
	1:57pm Paul C hey man is there a code for free download : On bandcamp

	♥ 1:59pm captain beef fart: Midnight Oil's xmas
	♥ 2:00pm efd: @Paul C I don't think you need one, it's pay your own price, so I guess not technically "free" but you can pay zero.

	♥ 2:11pm efd: @ww the nerve!!
	2:12pm Cal Zone!: Happy Hollerdaze EFD!
	2:13pm Andrew Hollywood: amen, steveo.
	2:14pm Glistener MW: When this track appeared on VH1’s Pop-Up Video, I was quite surprised and saddened to find out that “despite his name, Confidence Man is actually cripplingly insecure.” :/
	2:16pm ww: EFD - well there is always next year!! Ya gotta luv xmas and your show is the pinnacle.
	2:19pm bradford: I love the name 'Santa's Disco Band'
	2:19pm HyperDose: That flute riff is siiiick!
