	12:31pm egould: Sounds like a Pete Townshend song.
	12:32pm efd: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:30 Are you in a tax or finance-related field?
	12:32pm nycmusicnerd: efd: CPA firm
	12:33pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "christmas is the time to say i love you" by "bill... OH HELLS YAS
	12:33pm egould: Tax season sucks.
	12:33pm full metal monkey: Yeah Billy Squier
	12:33pm prof.fuzz: christmas is the time to write manuscript reviews for university presses...
	12:34pm Figgsrock: Finally Squiremas! First time I've heard it all season
	12:34pm tim from washington: Hello evan “funkysanta” Davies and everyone one!
	12:34pm nycmusicnerd: Fuzz: :)
	12:34pm Roberto: ↳ Figgsrock @12:34 Squiermas
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "christmas is the time to say i love you" by "bill... Been ages since I've heard his one!
	12:35pm tim from washington: Billy Squier has his own brand of guitars, right?
	12:35pm nycmusicnerd: OK, I'm just going to throw this out there, since efd has put me in a festive mood: What's everyone's favorite holiday album? I'm going with John Denver & The Muppets. It's a classic.
	12:35pm full metal monkey: Xmas is the time for baking homemade brownies with canabutter
	12:36pm love2laf: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:35 The Alligator Records Christmas Collection is my fave holiday album.
	12:37pm Roberto: ↳ tim from washington @12:35 I do have a Fender Squier bass from the '80s. No relation tho.
	12:37pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Song: "it's christmas" by "pilot" I did not know this existed! Adding it to my xmas playlist now.
	12:37pm nycmusicnerd: love2laf: Not familiar with the album, but I know Alligator Records--that was Saffire-The Uppity Blues Women's label. I really dug them.
	12:37pm woj: if you stare at the falling snow background and let your eyes unfocus, the snow goes three dimensional!
	12:38pm Autumn from Kansas: Not gonna lie, I love the Bootsy Collins Christmas album
	12:38pm prof.fuzz: i'm a fan of the Davie Allen and the Arrows "Fuzz for the Holidays" album. go figure...
	12:38pm full metal monkey: @love2laf. Yes that’s a great one
	12:38pm Crosby in KC: Looks like we'll be having a white xmas here in KC. Bitterly cold, though. -5 degrees tomorrow night...BRRRR!
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: I love that PSA campaign with the knight holding his own lance and all late for the joust and the caption "Billy never squires." Hey, fmm!
	12:38pm tim from washington: nyc - my favorite is the Happy Birthday Baby Jesus comps. Favorite song is the Kinks “Father Christmas”
	12:39pm Jack McGuire: Augie Rios!
	12:40pm nycmusicnerd: Tim: I saw Richard Thompson do one of his all request shows on Friday night. Father Christmas was one of the songs he did, with his wife helping out.
	12:40pm tim from washington: ↳ Roberto @12:37 That’s right! It’s Fender Squier not Billy Squier guitars.
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: Same on Thu. night, nycmn!
	12:40pm full metal monkey: @handy. How are you doing man.
	12:40pm love2laf: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:37 That's the label, it was gifted to me as I worked retail and could not tolerate the Christmas music that played everywhere. Nice blues compilation including "Santa Claus Needs Some Loving"
	12:41pm tim from washington: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:40 That is amazingly cool, nyc!
	12:41pm Elena: Yes, that’s what it means! Thanks for CanCon
	12:41pm Handy Haversack: Good! Just a little more work to get through. If prof.fuzz doesn't play NYC, we'll come out to JC for the show at Pet Shop.
	12:42pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:35 I always bust out the Christmas Cookin' album by Jimmy Smith. It's hard to choose, though.
	12:43pm nycmusicnerd: I also like Jacqui Naylor's Smashed For The Holidays album. The opening track is a smashup of Sweet Home Alabama & Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
	12:43pm efd: ↳ Elena @12:41 thanks for confirming! (And hello!)
	12:43pm full metal monkey: @handy. Very cool. Have you been to The Pet Shop? A few of us might also come out to nyc show if prof plays.
	12:44pm slocker: Love the snow playlist
	12:44pm queems: i'm looking forward to the imminent yearly hanson
	12:45pm AZ Dave: dans le vent = groovy
	12:45pm Zydeco Phil: Awesomeeeeeeeeee Yuletide rapture How did I never hear this ???
	12:45pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "yuletide throwdown (feat. fab five freddy)" by "b... Yule-ture
	12:45pm medson: People who hate Christmas music probably only hear it in retail stores
	12:45pm Figgsrock: This is one of the highlights of the Blondie box.
	12:45pm nycmusicnerd: I'd like to see some of you Funksters if there's a nyc show somewhere and it's not on a work night.
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: fmm, we were going to go there on the way to Spiritualized at WEH, but that was canceled -- for some reason [COUGHPhilly drugsCOUGH]. We have tix for Screaming Females on 2/18, so we'll make another attempt then if not before!
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: Oh, also, fmm: Creek and Kills is playing at Wonderville on 12/30. The line-up of bands is a little in flux because everyone seems to have COVID, but it should be a super fun night!
	12:47pm Roberto: ↳ medson @12:45 Word. I generally hate holiday music unless it's played on WFMU.
	12:47pm full metal monkey: @handy. Yeah The Pet Shop is right down the street from WEH. Go there first for a drink.
	12:47pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:45 I thought it was weird that they put it as a bonus track on The Hunter CD instead of Autoamerican... ??
	12:48pm listener 126464: Hi Jack, thanks and likewise!
	12:49pm love2laf: ↳ medson @12:45 Absolutely true for me, finally wearing off after switching to working from home for a decade plus. Also, at home the same darn music would be played.
	12:51pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:47 Yeah, I'm not sure why that is. It's not like they had to do it for space reasons.
	12:51pm Jack McGuire: I kinda miss the blue background.
	12:51pm efd: ↳ Song: "christmastime is here" by "the royal arctic insti... get cracking, Jack!
	12:52pm Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "christmastime is here" by "the royal arctic insti... Imagining this over the opening credits of Twin Peaks, which I assume everyone else is doing
	12:52pm DjLorraine: WFMU and EFD making the holiday time fun, interesting and kind.
	12:53pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:47 I wonder if it's because they had already started work on The Hunter when they did that song? It did come out like 10 months after the "Rapture" single.
	12:53pm love2laf: ↳ Karl Ward @12:52 I am now!
	12:54pm Too Obtuse: The Wizzard song is a classic!
	12:54pm Figgsrock: I do love this Spoon cover. That was a Bandcamp purchase last year.
	12:55pm prof.fuzz: review submitted! yay!
	12:56pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:55 That's got to be a weight off your shoulders.
	12:56pm Meesalikeu: can we get the cleveland christmas songs? that would be christmas wrapping by the waitresses and 2000 miles by the pretenders. gracias!
	12:56pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:54 I got it last year too but then ended up playing Paul Myers' cover, which is also very good!
	12:56pm Handy Haversack: prof.fuzz, you want me to try to get on the local peer-review roster?
	12:57pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:56 He just tweeted about his cover two minutes ago!
	12:58pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:56 it was a good manuscript that should be published, so it was relatively easy to write the review. but yes, that's the last thing i "owed" anyone this year, so it's a good feeling. handy: i think i've reviewed a manuscript or two for y'all. this one was for your public uni colleagues upstate (who also published my first book).
	12:58pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ efd @12:51 Done!
	12:59pm Meesalikeu: Team9 is the work of the English-Australian producer Neil Mason. Most of his work is unauthorized mashups. Team9 formed in 1997 as a five piece band and released two albums, Gas and Air in 1999 and My Tape Machine in 2002. Originally playing guitar based pop, by 2002 Team9 were incorporating samples, loops and synths into their production.
	12:59pm efd: ↳ Meesalikeu @12:59 Thank you! This is one of my favorites.
	1:00pm Matt Fiveash: Left the radio on and went out for groceries and came back to Squiah! Auspicious. Merry Merry, efd!
	1:01pm Handy Haversack: prof.fuzz: good! Especially in that I'm a lazy, lazy man. Pretty disappointed no one laughed at my "Billy never squires joke," though, I gotta say.
	1:04pm woj: i'm with station manager ken: not over the mash-up.
	1:04pm Meesalikeu: i almost forgot my other homie clevelandy area christmas classic - rachel sweet’s christmas will be just another lonely day from her heyday of 1979. trivia — rachel sweet went to high school with chrissie hynde. she was a frosh and chrissie was a senior.
	1:05pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "christmas is the time to say i love you" by "bill... So sad I missed this! This one is slept on imo.
	1:05pm Hoboken Jack: drummer Ryan Sawyer and guitarist Bill Nace
	1:05pm JetBoy of Astoria: So sad I wasn’t at YLT last night, it the Midwest weather continues to deteriorate maybe I’ll catch ‘em on the 24th/25th
	1:06pm iiibeat: I don't know, but . . I don't think the LONGEST shadow of the year was at noon. Possibly the longest noon shadow of the year?
	1:06pm MTA Luke: howdy yall
	1:07pm Hoboken Jack: "guitar"
	1:07pm erik: Just checked for another ticket to the 24th. All shows now Sold Out.
	1:07pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: The 16th annual Holiday Music Funk-Tacular is pumping out of my phone’s tiny speaker, in the nexus of hallways known as the “auditorium lobby” Here, the only thing I might drown out will be the vocal warm ups of the chorus class, whose open door is 75 feet behind me. However, it is their own fault as they insist on leaving the door open to their chorus room.
	1:07pm Meesalikeu: georgia hubley, wow is she greatness, superbest drummer and sings. phil collins eat yr heart out.
	1:08pm Hoboken Jack: Aimee & Ted are at City Winery Dec 28, 29, 30, and Jan 1.
	1:09pm slocker: This rules! Thanks for the Hannukah coverage
	1:09pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "8 days (of hanukkah)" by "sharon jones & the dap-... This will never be topped.
	1:10pm efd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:08 thank you Jack!
	1:10pm efd: ↳ erik @1:07 ohh, well good for them but bad for anyone who didn't get tickets earlier. Thanks for the update.
	1:10pm Meesalikeu: oh geez we sure fo miss sharon jones. gone six years now. they were playing around everywhere for a good while. such a nice show. rip, but she lives on in the music.
	1:11pm efd: ↳ slocker @1:09 <3
	1:11pm medson: Have good rest of the show Evan, taking ya to the car
	1:11pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "8 days (of hanukkah)" by "sharon jones & the dap-... Mind=blown
	1:11pm prof.fuzz: gotta head out for a doc appt. happy holidays everyone! see y'all soon!
	1:12pm Handy Haversack: My only Christmas wish is for YLT tickets to be available NOT through an app. L8r, prof.fuzz!
	1:12pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:11 Bye Fuzz!
	1:13pm efd: ↳ Song: "jaguar for christmas" by "bob & ray" the breezeway line kills me every time
	1:14pm MTA Luke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:12 i despise apps
	1:14pm GeorgeHatesFun: Goddamnit.
	1:14pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:11 bye prof! Always a pleasure!
	1:16pm efd: ↳ GeorgeHatesFun @1:14 lost the challenge, eh?
	1:17pm love2laf: Must go and shovel the last snowfall before snowmageddon starts. Will catch the rest of this outstanding show in the archives. Cheers and Merry Merry to efd and all the Funksters.
	1:17pm Meesalikeu: happy first day of winter all — our local staten iskand bookstore is having a solstice party 5-8pm today.
	1:17pm efd: ↳ love2laf @1:17 good luck!
	1:18pm WW: Evan- you ARE going to play BTO, RIGHT?? Signed, A Dedicated Listener…
	1:19pm Matt Fiveash: ↳ Song: "jaguar for christmas" by "bob & ray" efd- I want it on the record that not 10 minutes before you played it, I pulled this Bob & Ray LP off the shelf to play this same track tonight. I think I will still play it anyway, even though everyone will think I stole your idea. Who cares, it's Christmas! Ho ho ho
	1:21pm efd: ↳ Matt Fiveash @1:19 haha, that's awesome! Great Masshole minds think alike!
	1:21pm Elena: ↳ efd @12:43 Hello back from Montreal!
	1:23pm Handy Haversack: I have managed to successfully cancel Christmas at the Havesackerai. And the only vestige that survived, the tree, has been kiboshed by the kittens. Looking forward to not working for a week, though. And having time to make and get food that I'm usually prevented from getting by the job that is meant to enable things like dosa consumption.
	1:23pm Wind: Hi efd, I love your snowy page, I wish it was snowing in real life:)
	1:23pm Figgsrock: This Deadbeat Poets reminds me of The Bottlerockets (which is high praise).
	1:24pm Hughie Considine: Gotta love that Guaraldi reference...
	1:24pm Karl Ward: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:23 And now I want dosas
	1:24pm Eugene R.: ↳ Matt Fiveash @1:19 Too much Bob & Ray? Not possible! Go for it, Mr. Fiveash.
	1:24pm Meesalikeu: i see wat you did there evan — lol gracias!
	1:25pm Karl Ward: ↳ Karl Ward @1:24 Handy are you bringing dosas? Say yes
	1:25pm Meesalikeu: @hughie — thats ghoulardi ;)
	1:25pm Handy Haversack: Join us on our Flushing trip next week, Karl! We know it won't be on Wednesday -- we're planning the week around efd's Best of 2022 show -- that's appointment radio!
	1:25pm paul b: the Dirtbombs! I used to love the Dirtbombs saw them at the old 9:30 club (or was it dc space?) was a bill with Alex Chilton
	1:27pm MTA Luke: loving the drummer boy
	1:28pm Meesalikeu: yeahs painesville, strongsville etc thats all suburban cleveland references. the deadbeats band is from new paltz, but as you know every troop in world war two movies has a brooklyn guy and every rock band has a cleveland guy lol.
	1:28pm Handy Haversack: Did courtneynoir approve of this?
	1:28pm ezryder: SHOUTOUT TO MASTDON HERO EFD!!!!!
	1:29pm Karl Ward: I was curious, then I was all like c.im...
	1:29pm Layet Johnson: What’s mastodon about??
	1:29pm MTA Luke: there we go, ig, muchhhh easier
	1:31pm Meesalikeu: mastodon is the new twitter since everyone is jumping ship from twitter due to elon reasons.
	1:31pm woj: SOCIAL MEDIA SLAY BELLS
	1:31pm ezryder: ↳ Layet Johnson @1:29 decentralized twitter-esque social media. Anyone can create a mastodon server, and follow people on other mastodon server. EFD is one on server with a bunch of people, WFMU is on another, and I am on a third with my friend. But I can "tweet" at EFD, repost stuff from WFMU, etc
	1:31pm Non Player Character: good lord, can i just send a postcard?
	1:32pm Stevel: I rarely spend Christmas alone and I love this song.
	1:32pm Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "i'm spending christmas alone" by "future wife" I love this
	1:32pm Meesalikeu: lol once you put the mastodon url in ask your ‘puter to ‘memba it for ya!
	1:33pm woj: ↳ Song: "i'm spending christmas alone" by "future wife" this song is stuck in my head pretty much all december
	1:33pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "i'm spending christmas alone" by "future wife" Great song!
	1:33pm herb.nyc: Hola. YLT? Mastodon? Bob and Ray? It’s hard to listen and read (david carr “the night of the gun”). I apologize, happy happy to all. Future Wife!!! (Singer is a playwright as well)
	1:33pm hilaryprudy: thanks Evan for recognizing those of us who could care less about the holidaze...
	1:34pm Handy Haversack: With you, hilaryprudy. Thanks, efd!
	1:36pm Glistener MW: Merry Funkmas, all! 🎄
	1:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): ↳ woj @12:37 Mmm inadvertent SIRDS (wikipedia.org...)
	1:39pm Karl Ward: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:38 Whoa
	1:40pm Meesalikeu: from pdx — Glam Chops are a new side project from Eddie Argos (Art Brut, Art Goblins, Black Arts etc) and Mikey Georgeson (The Vessel, David Devant & His Spirit Wife, Mr Solo) and are bringing back the previously unfashionable 70s Glam Rock stylings, made famous by The Sweet & The Glitter Band.
	1:43pm AnAnonymousParty: ↳ Song: "wonderful christmastime" by "eww yaboo" Diggin' this show. That song, not so much, no matter who performs it.
	1:43pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: Did Mary know what the consequences of that one little lie was going to be? If only she had been able to keep her status as her business…
	1:43pm FletcherNYC: So true
	1:44pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: Does Art Brute have an X-Mas album????
	1:45pm Non Player Character: i love the gray area between musical theater and glam. some of the most risk taking punks were musical/vaudeville nerds
	1:46pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: Art Brut No e
	1:46pm efd: ↳ Daybreak, just Daybreak @1:44 I wish! Just fragments here and there.
	1:47pm Danne D: oh good looks like I am not too late to hear THE CLAUS
	1:47pm efd: ↳ Danne D @1:47 YOU ARE NOT!
	1:49pm Ramona: OKAY!!!!
	1:49pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Good Lord, been talking on two very intense Zoom calls since 11:30 AM. Mouth dry, coffee cold. Now comes the inevitable flurry of emails with questions even though I ended both meetings with "does anyone have any questions." AND I have to go to the USPS which will be a zoo, but at least I can treat myself to a lavender latte or a rose latte on the way home. FWIW, anyone in Astoria -- Sip a Cup across the street from Mount Sinai has AMAZING flavored lattes for days when you are feeling fancy. The lavender latte no doubt has a zillion calories but it's so F'n cold out you can justify it by saying you'll burn it off walking home. At least that's what I am telling myself.
	1:51pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And I have to listed to the entire show at a later point in time. Kinda POd that I am missing so many of the specials due to year end mishegas, but at least I'm working. Now, to go do battle with my insurance company as to why they billed me 2x for the same ultrasound....gah....
	1:51pm Magenta: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @1:49 I'm in Astoria and I'm not in that area often but I'll keep that in mind-- I'm not sure if I've ever had a lavender latte. Also, I know that back-to-back meeting feeling! At least I'm going on vacation after New Year's.
	1:53pm radioronan: That was a great xmas song @Karl Ward!
	1:53pm Danne D: yay guitars!
	1:54pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Magenta @1:51 Power to ya! No vacation for me anytime soon; took off too much time during the last days of Mom's illness and this project I'm on now is red hot. But yeah, I have to walk right past Sip a Cup to get to my PO box, and I'd rather patronize a small business than the Dunkin Donuts across the street from it. I was intrigued by the concept of a floral latte, the last lavender latte I had was amazing so may do the rose one today. Check it out if you ever have an appointment at Sinai and/or have to hit the circle of hell masquerading as the 30th Avenue USPS.
	1:54pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: Well, it’s not a full album but there are two fun songs on this EP: christmas holiday by gurr (feat. eddie argos) (christmas business ep) Thanks for the intro EFD!
	1:55pm Karl Ward: EFD: Ghost Ghost has been on hiatus since 2013. We didn't break up, we just took a short break that has turned into a decade.
	1:55pm Ramona: So enjoying the Xmas Funktackular!! Looking forward to year end show next week! Using use them or loose them vacation days for both. So awesome to enjoy the show on days off. Hang in there folks on the clock ⏰️ 🙏 👍!
	1:56pm bradford: ↳ Song: "christmas comes whenever you come home" by "ghost... really enjoyed this, Karl!
	1:56pm Magenta: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @1:54 Will do! The rose latte sounds delicious. I hope you enjoy it!
	1:57pm malaisie: I'm starting to look forward to hearing this every year. Thanks for the new tradition.
	1:57pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "sleigh ride" by "the guitars" Ha these tracks have been fun.
	1:57pm efd: ↳ Karl Ward @1:55 ha, got it!
	1:57pm efd: ↳ malaisie @1:57 yay! I love it.
	1:58pm tim from washington: Is the Mountain song ‘Nantucket Sleigh Ride’ abou Christmas?
	2:00pm Non Player Character: i wish you all hot drinks, dry shoes, unfrozen digits and sweet yams
	2:01pm sf Fred: this guy sounds like Mr Krabb. Love the show!!
	2:02pm wyatt: love this ohio representation
	2:03pm KingOfJunk: Putting me in the SPIRIT
	2:04pm KingOfJunk: Fruitcake to everyone of us!
	2:06pm Meesalikeu: they are hanna barbera fans fo sho lol
	2:07pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: My holiday spirit was flagging, but you you are pumping it back up EFD! Pump it up!
	2:07pm Meesalikeu: @wyatt — even santa recognizes ohio is the heart of it all for christmas — just look at a map lol
	2:09pm wyatt: @Meesa- As he should! I live in Columbus. Gonna check out the Guitars now
	2:12pm tim from washington: I was reading about YLT’s show last night. The mix CD was made by Dave Lombardo. Does anyone know if that’s the same Dave Lombardo that was Slayer’s drummer?
	2:12pm efd: ↳ tim from washington @2:12 It is! Ira specifically mentioned that during the show.
	2:12pm efd: ↳ tim from washington @2:12 (and acknowledged it might seem odd)
	2:13pm woj: well, this dion guy is no bruce but i think he might have a good career ahead of him...
	2:13pm herb.nyc: Haha. I posted this already. I saw Dion perform at St. George theater, Satan island, 5,6yrs ago(?). He walks out. “Yo” be his first word. And I immediately thought of Evan’s intro to song. Still makes me laugh. (In David carr memoir, he writes of seeing Bowie at roseland, 2000, at a very close table. and he was a nyc newbie)
	2:14pm tim from washington: Wow! I know that Lombardo not just a metal drummer and has worked with a diverse base of musicians. Cool that there’s a connection!
	2:14pm efd: More Ohio rock! I really should have played this after The Guitars.
	2:15pm Figgsrock: Oh my goodness, the title of this Donnie Iris album.
	2:16pm Lyle: Hey EVAN - thanks for the Royal Arctic spin! That cover is on a compilation where the proceeds go to AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION. Please support it if you can and happy holidays everyone! https://islandhouserecordings.bandcamp.com/album/this-aint-your-mama-and-papas-holiday-music-a-compilation-of-holiday-favorites-for-the-weirdo-in-your-life
	2:16pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:15 second best Christmas album title of all time, behind only Jon Graboff's For Christ's Sake
	2:17pm efd: ↳ Lyle @2:16 my pleasure Lyle, and thanks for the charity info! I forgot to mention that.
	2:17pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @2:16 I believe you are correct!
	2:18pm Danne D: EFD are you familiar with "Funky Christmas" by the Beach Boys? my family actually had a copy of the single once upon a time.
	2:18pm Meesalikeu: donnie iris aka pittsburgh’s micheal stanley lol sure played cleveland all the time back in the day. seemed it was a second home. i hope he held his money.
	2:19pm Handy Haversack: Lyle's Bandcamp link made clickable: islandhouserecordings.bandcamp.com...
	2:19pm nycmusicnerd: Good to hear some Pittsburgh music in memory of Franco Harris. RIP
	2:20pm Danne D: I apologize the song was "Funky New Year" - b side to a Christmas song "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" I think
	2:21pm efd: ↳ Danne D @2:20 Not familiar offhand but I'll keep an ear out!
	2:21pm tim from washington: I missed the Franco Harris reference!
	2:23pm Danne D: wow I am real senile - might be the Eagles actually
	2:23pm tim from washington: When I was a kid I loved that made for tv coke commercial spin off about the kid who wanted to give Mean Joe Green back his jersey.
	2:24pm Danne D: this is it - exactly single Eagles - Please Come Home For Christmas b/w Funky New Year https://www.umgcatalog.com/releases/please-come-home-christmasfunky-new-year-remastered/#/
	2:24pm Karl Ward: ↳ Danne D @2:23 Definitely an Eagles song
	2:25pm efd: ↳ Karl Ward @2:24 I will no longer be keeping an ear out.
	2:26pm Danne D: I remember it being awful. I realize Ken is more the Eagles fan at the station
	2:26pm Stevel: #cooktheEaglesforxmas
	2:27pm efd: ↳ Song: "rockin' around the christmas tree" by "the smithe... someone was hoping for this earlier. Welp -- here it is!
	2:27pm tim from washington: TCC!!!
	2:28pm slocker: There it is.
	2:28pm medson: @efd I was out driving but wanted to mention how good this all sounds
	2:28pm WW: YES EFD!! The best Carol ever!
	2:28pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Song: "takin' care of christmas (featuring beverley maho... This is so dumb in the very best way.
	2:29pm Hughie Considine: If you like this, you'll love "Yule Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet"
	2:29pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ tim from washington @2:21 No specific reference, but Donnie Iris is from Pgh--just tying it in to the news today.
	2:30pm efd: ↳ Hughie Considine @2:29 did I just check the track list of the CD Hellz yes I did. I am disappoint.
	2:30pm Picante Mint: Losing my holly jolly mind to this banger.
	2:30pm Figgsrock: This is the most ridiculous song I've heard all week.
	2:30pm Picante Mint: ↳ Hughie Considine @2:29 Lol
	2:31pm Hughie Considine: I make joke!
	2:31pm WW: Figs: I hope you refer to BTO!!
	2:32pm PigeonsAndRust: Hey EFD, I've been listening to this as I prepare my Santa suit and whiten my beard and it is just the boost I needed. Thank you!
	2:32pm Matt: Have you heard the Smithereens cover Springsteen? Down bound train? It's pretty good, even if you're not a boss fan.
	2:33pm Late Bloomer: Yule ain’t seen nothing yet 😂
	2:33pm Hopey Sockmonkey: S-S-S-Santa, Yule Ain't Seen N-N-N-othin' Yet
	2:34pm Picante Mint: Snowflake effects are annihilating my phone. Wishing all listeners a pleasant holiday time. <3
	2:34pm nycmusicnerd: Thanks for the correction, efd. I knew there was a Pgh connection to Donnie Iris, but I got it wrong. My bad.
	2:35pm morphe': The falling flakes on the webpage make me think of the mid 80s when a lot of Bklyn folk were unhappy unless they had snow up their noses ....might still be so ??
	2:35pm Danne D: THE CLAUS!!!!
	2:35pm queems: YESSSS
	2:35pm Karl Ward: Hot take: Eagles > Hanson

	2:36pm JetBoy of Astoria: There ain’t no sanity clause

	2:36pm slocker: And there THIS is again.

	2:37pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:36 clearly neither I nor any of my listeners have ever attended!
	2:37pm Magenta: It's amazing that Hanson found the time, in the hectic year (for them) of 1997, to record a Christmas album.
	2:37pm bobo bb ob: A different Milwaukee band but just as good!!
	2:37pm stuli: damn right its the best XMas song ever!!!! well done!
	2:37pm Ramona: Merry Xmas Hanson!
	2:37pm woj: doughnuts
	2:38pm efd: ↳ woj @2:37 DON'T FORGET THEM!!
	2:38pm @Santapalooza: Christmas is officially here when EFD plays Hanson!
	2:38pm tim from washington: I just heard them sing ‘take that turkey away’. They must have been singing about Karl Ward ;)
	2:39pm Danne D: will request this as between questions music at trivia tonight (again). actually 2nd request of Hanson there this month but I requested MmmBop to tweak an England fan that goes to trivia.
	2:39pm Karl Ward: ↳ tim from washington @2:38 I am a vegetarian
	2:39pm woj: ↳ efd @2:38 just gotta hide them from the pidge

	2:45pm JetBoy of Astoria: Glad to see Right said Fred finally made good
	2:47pm morphe': "The Confidence Man" is an intrigiuging opaque Melville book ... as is the short "Bartleby the Scrivener" .. and Twain's "The Stranger"... xmas books for folks stockings if not too late..
	2:47pm JetBoy of Astoria: Fun fact: dbs stands for decibels
	2:48pm Roberto: Oh snap, I was expecting Hanson to be the finale. Guess that's what the archives is fer.

	12:26pm Hoboken Jack: Happy Hanukkah and merry Christmas EFD, Michael, Medson Man, McGroove, Handy, Bagpipe wearing antlers, 126464, Frank, all! And... FULL METAL MONKEY! It's a holiday miracle!
	12:26pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "joey ramone for christmas" by "alicja trout" "He's so skinny, he'll be fine" LOLLL
	12:26pm JoeyX: Great way to wrap up the last day of work for the year. Thanks, and happy holidaze EFD!
	12:26pm medson: Hey Jack
	12:26pm JetLee: Happy Holidays EFD and everyone!
	12:26pm full metal monkey: @hoboken Jack. Lol HELLO to you.
	12:27pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:17 I see an option for the Bookmark bar on that page, which I have already. Maybe I'm just imagining the existence of a menu bar for Chrome/PC? I usually use Safari/Mac. Anyway I'm good now, thanks!

	12:28pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Happy Holidays, Funksters! EFD, thank you so much for this awesome music.
	12:28pm Mike Sin: Working until Friday, but meetings are practically down to nil, so I'll be cranking up this show quite loud today!
	12:28pm Handy Haversack: As we learned from Michael Shelley's Christmas Carol a few years back, every night in heaven there's a release party for the new Ramones album. Jack!
	12:30pm nycmusicnerd: 3pm closing on Friday, closed Monday, and using my 1 accrued vacation day on Tuesday. Then it's back to the grind with almost no letup until after April 15.
	12:30pm Handy Haversack: I think we'll end up with a half day on Friday. At any rate, I have pinball plans at 3 that afternoon, so I will! Then we're closed all the next week and the first Mon. and Tue. of 2023.
	12:31pm egould: Sounds like a Pete Townshend song.
	12:32pm efd: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:30 Are you in a tax or finance-related field?
	12:32pm nycmusicnerd: efd: CPA firm
	12:33pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "christmas is the time to say i love you" by "bill... OH HELLS YAS
	12:33pm egould: Tax season sucks.
	12:33pm full metal monkey: Yeah Billy Squier
	12:33pm prof.fuzz: christmas is the time to write manuscript reviews for university presses...
	12:34pm Figgsrock: Finally Squiremas! First time I've heard it all season
	12:34pm tim from washington: Hello evan “funkysanta” Davies and everyone one!
	12:34pm nycmusicnerd: Fuzz: :)
	12:34pm Roberto: ↳ Figgsrock @12:34 Squiermas
	12:34pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Song: "christmas is the time to say i love you" by "bill... Been ages since I've heard his one!
	12:35pm tim from washington: Billy Squier has his own brand of guitars, right?
	12:35pm nycmusicnerd: OK, I'm just going to throw this out there, since efd has put me in a festive mood: What's everyone's favorite holiday album? I'm going with John Denver & The Muppets. It's a classic.
	12:35pm full metal monkey: Xmas is the time for baking homemade brownies with canabutter
	12:36pm love2laf: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:35 The Alligator Records Christmas Collection is my fave holiday album.
	12:37pm Roberto: ↳ tim from washington @12:35 I do have a Fender Squier bass from the '80s. No relation tho.
	12:37pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Song: "it's christmas" by "pilot" I did not know this existed! Adding it to my xmas playlist now.
	12:37pm nycmusicnerd: love2laf: Not familiar with the album, but I know Alligator Records--that was Saffire-The Uppity Blues Women's label. I really dug them.
	12:37pm woj: if you stare at the falling snow background and let your eyes unfocus, the snow goes three dimensional!
	12:38pm Autumn from Kansas: Not gonna lie, I love the Bootsy Collins Christmas album
	12:38pm prof.fuzz: i'm a fan of the Davie Allen and the Arrows "Fuzz for the Holidays" album. go figure...
	12:38pm full metal monkey: @love2laf. Yes that’s a great one
	12:38pm Crosby in KC: Looks like we'll be having a white xmas here in KC. Bitterly cold, though. -5 degrees tomorrow night...BRRRR!
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: I love that PSA campaign with the knight holding his own lance and all late for the joust and the caption "Billy never squires." Hey, fmm!
	12:38pm tim from washington: nyc - my favorite is the Happy Birthday Baby Jesus comps. Favorite song is the Kinks “Father Christmas”
	12:39pm Jack McGuire: Augie Rios!
	12:40pm nycmusicnerd: Tim: I saw Richard Thompson do one of his all request shows on Friday night. Father Christmas was one of the songs he did, with his wife helping out.
	12:40pm tim from washington: ↳ Roberto @12:37 That’s right! It’s Fender Squier not Billy Squier guitars.
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: Same on Thu. night, nycmn!
	12:40pm full metal monkey: @handy. How are you doing man.
	12:40pm love2laf: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:37 That's the label, it was gifted to me as I worked retail and could not tolerate the Christmas music that played everywhere. Nice blues compilation including "Santa Claus Needs Some Loving"
	12:41pm tim from washington: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:40 That is amazingly cool, nyc!
	12:41pm Elena: Yes, that’s what it means! Thanks for CanCon
	12:41pm Handy Haversack: Good! Just a little more work to get through. If prof.fuzz doesn't play NYC, we'll come out to JC for the show at Pet Shop.
	12:42pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:35 I always bust out the Christmas Cookin' album by Jimmy Smith. It's hard to choose, though.
	12:43pm nycmusicnerd: I also like Jacqui Naylor's Smashed For The Holidays album. The opening track is a smashup of Sweet Home Alabama & Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
	12:43pm efd: ↳ Elena @12:41 thanks for confirming! (And hello!)
	12:43pm full metal monkey: @handy. Very cool. Have you been to The Pet Shop? A few of us might also come out to nyc show if prof plays.
	12:44pm slocker: Love the snow playlist
	12:44pm queems: i'm looking forward to the imminent yearly hanson
	12:45pm AZ Dave: dans le vent = groovy
	12:45pm Zydeco Phil: Awesomeeeeeeeeee Yuletide rapture How did I never hear this ???
	12:45pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "yuletide throwdown (feat. fab five freddy)" by "b... Yule-ture
	12:45pm medson: People who hate Christmas music probably only hear it in retail stores
	12:45pm Figgsrock: This is one of the highlights of the Blondie box.
	12:45pm nycmusicnerd: I'd like to see some of you Funksters if there's a nyc show somewhere and it's not on a work night.
	12:46pm Handy Haversack: fmm, we were going to go there on the way to Spiritualized at WEH, but that was canceled -- for some reason [COUGHPhilly drugsCOUGH]. We have tix for Screaming Females on 2/18, so we'll make another attempt then if not before!
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: Oh, also, fmm: Creek and Kills is playing at Wonderville on 12/30. The line-up of bands is a little in flux because everyone seems to have COVID, but it should be a super fun night!
	12:47pm Roberto: ↳ medson @12:45 Word. I generally hate holiday music unless it's played on WFMU.
	12:47pm full metal monkey: @handy. Yeah The Pet Shop is right down the street from WEH. Go there first for a drink.
	12:47pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:45 I thought it was weird that they put it as a bonus track on The Hunter CD instead of Autoamerican... ??
	12:48pm listener 126464: Hi Jack, thanks and likewise!
	12:49pm love2laf: ↳ medson @12:45 Absolutely true for me, finally wearing off after switching to working from home for a decade plus. Also, at home the same darn music would be played.
	12:51pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:47 Yeah, I'm not sure why that is. It's not like they had to do it for space reasons.
	12:51pm Jack McGuire: I kinda miss the blue background.
	12:51pm efd: ↳ Song: "christmastime is here" by "the royal arctic insti... get cracking, Jack!
	12:52pm Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "christmastime is here" by "the royal arctic insti... Imagining this over the opening credits of Twin Peaks, which I assume everyone else is doing
	12:52pm DjLorraine: WFMU and EFD making the holiday time fun, interesting and kind.
	12:53pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:47 I wonder if it's because they had already started work on The Hunter when they did that song? It did come out like 10 months after the "Rapture" single.
	12:53pm love2laf: ↳ Karl Ward @12:52 I am now!
	12:54pm Too Obtuse: The Wizzard song is a classic!
	12:54pm Figgsrock: I do love this Spoon cover. That was a Bandcamp purchase last year.
	12:55pm prof.fuzz: review submitted! yay!
	12:56pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:55 That's got to be a weight off your shoulders.
	12:56pm Meesalikeu: can we get the cleveland christmas songs? that would be christmas wrapping by the waitresses and 2000 miles by the pretenders. gracias!
	12:56pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:54 I got it last year too but then ended up playing Paul Myers' cover, which is also very good!
	12:56pm Handy Haversack: prof.fuzz, you want me to try to get on the local peer-review roster?
	12:57pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:56 He just tweeted about his cover two minutes ago!
	12:58pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:56 it was a good manuscript that should be published, so it was relatively easy to write the review. but yes, that's the last thing i "owed" anyone this year, so it's a good feeling. handy: i think i've reviewed a manuscript or two for y'all. this one was for your public uni colleagues upstate (who also published my first book).
	12:58pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ efd @12:51 Done!
	12:59pm Meesalikeu: Team9 is the work of the English-Australian producer Neil Mason. Most of his work is unauthorized mashups. Team9 formed in 1997 as a five piece band and released two albums, Gas and Air in 1999 and My Tape Machine in 2002. Originally playing guitar based pop, by 2002 Team9 were incorporating samples, loops and synths into their production.
	12:59pm efd: ↳ Meesalikeu @12:59 Thank you! This is one of my favorites.
	1:00pm Matt Fiveash: Left the radio on and went out for groceries and came back to Squiah! Auspicious. Merry Merry, efd!
	1:01pm Handy Haversack: prof.fuzz: good! Especially in that I'm a lazy, lazy man. Pretty disappointed no one laughed at my "Billy never squires joke," though, I gotta say.
	1:04pm woj: i'm with station manager ken: not over the mash-up.
	1:04pm Meesalikeu: i almost forgot my other homie clevelandy area christmas classic - rachel sweet’s christmas will be just another lonely day from her heyday of 1979. trivia — rachel sweet went to high school with chrissie hynde. she was a frosh and chrissie was a senior.
	1:05pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "christmas is the time to say i love you" by "bill... So sad I missed this! This one is slept on imo.
	1:05pm Hoboken Jack: drummer Ryan Sawyer and guitarist Bill Nace
	1:05pm JetBoy of Astoria: So sad I wasn’t at YLT last night, it the Midwest weather continues to deteriorate maybe I’ll catch ‘em on the 24th/25th
	1:06pm iiibeat: I don't know, but . . I don't think the LONGEST shadow of the year was at noon. Possibly the longest noon shadow of the year?
	1:06pm MTA Luke: howdy yall
	1:07pm Hoboken Jack: "guitar"
	1:07pm erik: Just checked for another ticket to the 24th. All shows now Sold Out.
	1:07pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: The 16th annual Holiday Music Funk-Tacular is pumping out of my phone’s tiny speaker, in the nexus of hallways known as the “auditorium lobby” Here, the only thing I might drown out will be the vocal warm ups of the chorus class, whose open door is 75 feet behind me. However, it is their own fault as they insist on leaving the door open to their chorus room.
	1:07pm Meesalikeu: georgia hubley, wow is she greatness, superbest drummer and sings. phil collins eat yr heart out.
	1:08pm Hoboken Jack: Aimee & Ted are at City Winery Dec 28, 29, 30, and Jan 1.
	1:09pm slocker: This rules! Thanks for the Hannukah coverage
	1:09pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "8 days (of hanukkah)" by "sharon jones & the dap-... This will never be topped.
	1:10pm efd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:08 thank you Jack!
	1:10pm efd: ↳ erik @1:07 ohh, well good for them but bad for anyone who didn't get tickets earlier. Thanks for the update.
	1:10pm Meesalikeu: oh geez we sure fo miss sharon jones. gone six years now. they were playing around everywhere for a good while. such a nice show. rip, but she lives on in the music.
	1:11pm efd: ↳ slocker @1:09 <3
	1:11pm medson: Have good rest of the show Evan, taking ya to the car
	1:11pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "8 days (of hanukkah)" by "sharon jones & the dap-... Mind=blown
	1:11pm prof.fuzz: gotta head out for a doc appt. happy holidays everyone! see y'all soon!
	1:12pm Handy Haversack: My only Christmas wish is for YLT tickets to be available NOT through an app. L8r, prof.fuzz!
	1:12pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:11 Bye Fuzz!
	1:13pm efd: ↳ Song: "jaguar for christmas" by "bob & ray" the breezeway line kills me every time
	1:14pm MTA Luke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:12 i despise apps
	1:14pm GeorgeHatesFun: Goddamnit.
	1:14pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:11 bye prof! Always a pleasure!
	1:16pm efd: ↳ GeorgeHatesFun @1:14 lost the challenge, eh?
	1:17pm love2laf: Must go and shovel the last snowfall before snowmageddon starts. Will catch the rest of this outstanding show in the archives. Cheers and Merry Merry to efd and all the Funksters.
	1:17pm Meesalikeu: happy first day of winter all — our local staten iskand bookstore is having a solstice party 5-8pm today.
	1:17pm efd: ↳ love2laf @1:17 good luck!
	1:18pm WW: Evan- you ARE going to play BTO, RIGHT?? Signed, A Dedicated Listener…
	1:19pm Matt Fiveash: ↳ Song: "jaguar for christmas" by "bob & ray" efd- I want it on the record that not 10 minutes before you played it, I pulled this Bob & Ray LP off the shelf to play this same track tonight. I think I will still play it anyway, even though everyone will think I stole your idea. Who cares, it's Christmas! Ho ho ho
	1:21pm efd: ↳ Matt Fiveash @1:19 haha, that's awesome! Great Masshole minds think alike!
	1:21pm Elena: ↳ efd @12:43 Hello back from Montreal!
	1:23pm Handy Haversack: I have managed to successfully cancel Christmas at the Havesackerai. And the only vestige that survived, the tree, has been kiboshed by the kittens. Looking forward to not working for a week, though. And having time to make and get food that I'm usually prevented from getting by the job that is meant to enable things like dosa consumption.
	1:23pm Wind: Hi efd, I love your snowy page, I wish it was snowing in real life:)
	1:23pm Figgsrock: This Deadbeat Poets reminds me of The Bottlerockets (which is high praise).
	1:24pm Hughie Considine: Gotta love that Guaraldi reference...
	1:24pm Karl Ward: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:23 And now I want dosas
	1:24pm Eugene R.: ↳ Matt Fiveash @1:19 Too much Bob & Ray? Not possible! Go for it, Mr. Fiveash.
	1:24pm Meesalikeu: i see wat you did there evan — lol gracias!
	1:25pm Karl Ward: ↳ Karl Ward @1:24 Handy are you bringing dosas? Say yes
	1:25pm Meesalikeu: @hughie — thats ghoulardi ;)
	1:25pm Handy Haversack: Join us on our Flushing trip next week, Karl! We know it won't be on Wednesday -- we're planning the week around efd's Best of 2022 show -- that's appointment radio!
	1:25pm paul b: the Dirtbombs! I used to love the Dirtbombs saw them at the old 9:30 club (or was it dc space?) was a bill with Alex Chilton
	1:27pm MTA Luke: loving the drummer boy
	1:28pm Meesalikeu: yeahs painesville, strongsville etc thats all suburban cleveland references. the deadbeats band is from new paltz, but as you know every troop in world war two movies has a brooklyn guy and every rock band has a cleveland guy lol.
	1:28pm Handy Haversack: Did courtneynoir approve of this?
	1:28pm ezryder: SHOUTOUT TO MASTDON HERO EFD!!!!!
	1:29pm Karl Ward: I was curious, then I was all like c.im...
	1:29pm Layet Johnson: What’s mastodon about??
	1:29pm MTA Luke: there we go, ig, muchhhh easier
	1:31pm Meesalikeu: mastodon is the new twitter since everyone is jumping ship from twitter due to elon reasons.
	1:31pm woj: SOCIAL MEDIA SLAY BELLS
	1:31pm ezryder: ↳ Layet Johnson @1:29 decentralized twitter-esque social media. Anyone can create a mastodon server, and follow people on other mastodon server. EFD is one on server with a bunch of people, WFMU is on another, and I am on a third with my friend. But I can "tweet" at EFD, repost stuff from WFMU, etc
	1:31pm Non Player Character: good lord, can i just send a postcard?
	1:32pm Stevel: I rarely spend Christmas alone and I love this song.
	1:32pm Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "i'm spending christmas alone" by "future wife" I love this
	1:32pm Meesalikeu: lol once you put the mastodon url in ask your ‘puter to ‘memba it for ya!
	1:33pm woj: ↳ Song: "i'm spending christmas alone" by "future wife" this song is stuck in my head pretty much all december
	1:33pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "i'm spending christmas alone" by "future wife" Great song!
	1:33pm herb.nyc: Hola. YLT? Mastodon? Bob and Ray? It’s hard to listen and read (david carr “the night of the gun”). I apologize, happy happy to all. Future Wife!!! (Singer is a playwright as well)
	1:33pm hilaryprudy: thanks Evan for recognizing those of us who could care less about the holidaze...
	1:34pm Handy Haversack: With you, hilaryprudy. Thanks, efd!
	1:36pm Glistener MW: Merry Funkmas, all! 🎄
	1:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): ↳ woj @12:37 Mmm inadvertent SIRDS (wikipedia.org...)
	1:39pm Karl Ward: ↳ Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever) @1:38 Whoa
	1:40pm Meesalikeu: from pdx — Glam Chops are a new side project from Eddie Argos (Art Brut, Art Goblins, Black Arts etc) and Mikey Georgeson (The Vessel, David Devant & His Spirit Wife, Mr Solo) and are bringing back the previously unfashionable 70s Glam Rock stylings, made famous by The Sweet & The Glitter Band.
	1:43pm AnAnonymousParty: ↳ Song: "wonderful christmastime" by "eww yaboo" Diggin' this show. That song, not so much, no matter who performs it.
	1:43pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: Did Mary know what the consequences of that one little lie was going to be? If only she had been able to keep her status as her business…
	1:43pm FletcherNYC: So true
	1:44pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: Does Art Brute have an X-Mas album????
	1:45pm Non Player Character: i love the gray area between musical theater and glam. some of the most risk taking punks were musical/vaudeville nerds
	1:46pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: Art Brut No e
	1:46pm efd: ↳ Daybreak, just Daybreak @1:44 I wish! Just fragments here and there.
	1:47pm Danne D: oh good looks like I am not too late to hear THE CLAUS
	1:47pm efd: ↳ Danne D @1:47 YOU ARE NOT!
	1:49pm Ramona: OKAY!!!!
	1:49pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Good Lord, been talking on two very intense Zoom calls since 11:30 AM. Mouth dry, coffee cold. Now comes the inevitable flurry of emails with questions even though I ended both meetings with "does anyone have any questions." AND I have to go to the USPS which will be a zoo, but at least I can treat myself to a lavender latte or a rose latte on the way home. FWIW, anyone in Astoria -- Sip a Cup across the street from Mount Sinai has AMAZING flavored lattes for days when you are feeling fancy. The lavender latte no doubt has a zillion calories but it's so F'n cold out you can justify it by saying you'll burn it off walking home. At least that's what I am telling myself.
	1:51pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And I have to listed to the entire show at a later point in time. Kinda POd that I am missing so many of the specials due to year end mishegas, but at least I'm working. Now, to go do battle with my insurance company as to why they billed me 2x for the same ultrasound....gah....
	1:51pm Magenta: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @1:49 I'm in Astoria and I'm not in that area often but I'll keep that in mind-- I'm not sure if I've ever had a lavender latte. Also, I know that back-to-back meeting feeling! At least I'm going on vacation after New Year's.
	1:53pm radioronan: That was a great xmas song @Karl Ward!
	1:53pm Danne D: yay guitars!
	1:54pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Magenta @1:51 Power to ya! No vacation for me anytime soon; took off too much time during the last days of Mom's illness and this project I'm on now is red hot. But yeah, I have to walk right past Sip a Cup to get to my PO box, and I'd rather patronize a small business than the Dunkin Donuts across the street from it. I was intrigued by the concept of a floral latte, the last lavender latte I had was amazing so may do the rose one today. Check it out if you ever have an appointment at Sinai and/or have to hit the circle of hell masquerading as the 30th Avenue USPS.
	1:54pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: Well, it’s not a full album but there are two fun songs on this EP: christmas holiday by gurr (feat. eddie argos) (christmas business ep) Thanks for the intro EFD!
	1:55pm Karl Ward: EFD: Ghost Ghost has been on hiatus since 2013. We didn't break up, we just took a short break that has turned into a decade.
	1:55pm Ramona: So enjoying the Xmas Funktackular!! Looking forward to year end show next week! Using use them or loose them vacation days for both. So awesome to enjoy the show on days off. Hang in there folks on the clock ⏰️ 🙏 👍!
	1:56pm bradford: ↳ Song: "christmas comes whenever you come home" by "ghost... really enjoyed this, Karl!
	1:56pm Magenta: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @1:54 Will do! The rose latte sounds delicious. I hope you enjoy it!
	1:57pm malaisie: I'm starting to look forward to hearing this every year. Thanks for the new tradition.
	1:57pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "sleigh ride" by "the guitars" Ha these tracks have been fun.
	1:57pm efd: ↳ Karl Ward @1:55 ha, got it!
	1:57pm efd: ↳ malaisie @1:57 yay! I love it.
	1:58pm tim from washington: Is the Mountain song ‘Nantucket Sleigh Ride’ abou Christmas?
	2:00pm Non Player Character: i wish you all hot drinks, dry shoes, unfrozen digits and sweet yams
	2:01pm sf Fred: this guy sounds like Mr Krabb. Love the show!!
	2:02pm wyatt: love this ohio representation
	2:03pm KingOfJunk: Putting me in the SPIRIT
	2:04pm KingOfJunk: Fruitcake to everyone of us!
	2:06pm Meesalikeu: they are hanna barbera fans fo sho lol
	2:07pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: My holiday spirit was flagging, but you you are pumping it back up EFD! Pump it up!
	2:07pm Meesalikeu: @wyatt — even santa recognizes ohio is the heart of it all for christmas — just look at a map lol
	2:09pm wyatt: @Meesa- As he should! I live in Columbus. Gonna check out the Guitars now
	2:12pm tim from washington: I was reading about YLT’s show last night. The mix CD was made by Dave Lombardo. Does anyone know if that’s the same Dave Lombardo that was Slayer’s drummer?
	2:12pm efd: ↳ tim from washington @2:12 It is! Ira specifically mentioned that during the show.
	2:12pm efd: ↳ tim from washington @2:12 (and acknowledged it might seem odd)
	2:13pm woj: well, this dion guy is no bruce but i think he might have a good career ahead of him...
	2:13pm herb.nyc: Haha. I posted this already. I saw Dion perform at St. George theater, Satan island, 5,6yrs ago(?). He walks out. “Yo” be his first word. And I immediately thought of Evan’s intro to song. Still makes me laugh. (In David carr memoir, he writes of seeing Bowie at roseland, 2000, at a very close table. and he was a nyc newbie)
	2:14pm tim from washington: Wow! I know that Lombardo not just a metal drummer and has worked with a diverse base of musicians. Cool that there’s a connection!
	2:14pm efd: More Ohio rock! I really should have played this after The Guitars.
	2:15pm Figgsrock: Oh my goodness, the title of this Donnie Iris album.
