Does Big Maceo have any connection to Maceo from James Brown? Sorry for being ignorant
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:13pm

I believe they're 2 different Maceos. (Same goes for Maceo from De La Soul)

Henry Gray said he learned from Big Maceo
Avatar 7:27pm
lothianman:

Certainly not absolute but for the most part anyone with "Big" as a first name should be learned from. Amen

I remember hearing Rosetta playing "Up Above my head" on Clay Pidgeon's show the morning after it was clear Covid was first breaking bad in NYC and it was incredibly inspiring !!

ultradamno:

Well, these people are really enthusiastic about this Jesus guy.
  7:34pm
Sam:

This is so much more authentic to the humbleness and suffering of the actual Christmas story than the crazy happy holiday schlock we usually listen to!

Once the elf brings them toys the smaller elves he's enslaved made by way of his flying reindeer pulled sleigh to put under the tree they have in their house, as is all in the bible

By the way, my favorite for the next hour would be Brenda Lee's Christmas Will Be Just Another Lonely Day (or Rachel Sweet's cover)....My favorite non-Residents x-mas song, just throwing it out there.

Don't worry ultra pagans are still in charge........if you don't believe me just ask Agent Orange

Christmas at KMart by Root Boy Slim
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:45pm
ultradamno:

Is that band still around?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:46pm
ultradamno:

Though I could ask the entire south instead.
Avatar 7:46pm
lothianman:

No way, ultra......Root Boy died in the mid 90s... no way to keep that going over the long term...either way the ULTIMATE XMAS tune
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:51pm
ultradamno:

For me there's that Brenda song, about three Residents songs at least, then Gun Club's Sex Beat and The Qualities' It's Christmas Time and Tuxedomoon's Holiday For Plywood and this Lead Belly before I even start considering anything else.
