	5:30pm Destroit: I swear this is the 5th str8 week that Mona just puts the perfect puzzle pieces in place, 100% of the time…seamlessly navigating through multiple genres. Just doin my thing, enjoying…and blammo! I’m like how the eff did we get from THAT to Patsy Cline? So great.

	5:36pm love2laf: Thank you Mona, this has just been an amazing and frankly, cathartic memory of 2022. Sorry to have missed part of it, but grateful for the archives.
	5:38pm Destroit: Some people ask me, “what music u like”. I mean, how do u answer that? I’ll go from pet shop boys, to loretta lynn, to ambient, to iggy pop, to aphex twin, to miles davis, to fugazi, to the Boss. I mean …next time i’ll just steer em to this show. Touchin all the bases!
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'm On Fire" by "Bruce Springsteen" ...imaging 'I'm On Fire' covered by TheStooges a'la 'Little Doll'...
	5:38pm Uleeshuh TN: the song that made me say, "Okay, I like Bruce Springstein."
	🥀 5:39pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "I'm On Fire" by "Bruce Springsteen" Every time I hear Springsteen I feel proud to be from NJ.
	5:39pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ K8 @5:23 Loretta, Christine McVie and Julie Cruise
	5:39pm Destroit: This is my favorite Bruce song. I’m not a huge Bruce guy, so only know the hits…but thats like 60 Songs
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:38 *i-m-a-g-i-n-i-n-g...
	5:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Destroit @5:38 Eclectic. As opposed to Purist I think of it.
	5:40pm jtt777: killin' it Mona, such great stuff!
	🥀 5:41pm Magenta: ↳ Destroit @5:38 I just direct them to this station (the website, specifically, so they can listen to the streams). I listen to so many of the programs it’s become impossible to summarize my musical tastes.
	5:41pm Destroit: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:40 Yep. I mean, we can only listen to so much in a day. Its cool to talk to purists in certain genres tho. So much knowledge to mine.
	🥀 5:41pm D Rok: ↳ Song: "Mama" by "Genesis" NOW it's a Friday afternoon!
	5:42pm K8: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:39 Yeah...and Ronnie Spector, Mimi Parker, Rachel Nagy, Olivia Newton-John. Lotsa amazing to miss...
	5:42pm Harry Corvair: Now THIS is a song for the holidays Top notch today, Mona Mama by Genesis
	5:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Destroit @5:38 you know, no one has asked me that question in over a decade.... must be something about myself...
	5:42pm Destroit: Nod to Sheila B? Love it either way.
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:40 ...tho both the Eclecticist & the Purist may be opposed to the Mainstream. & probly are. The Ecelecticist appreciates the Purist as Preservationist - if the Purist may regard the Eclecticist as promiscuous.
	5:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:43 what if you're an eclectic purist?
	🥀 5:44pm Michael 98145: ↳ northguineahills @5:42 most people i know, sadly would never think to ask ... or care to
	5:45pm DanFA: Shout out to Sheila B. Number #1 Phil Collins fan.
	5:45pm Victor Eremita: Mamas always have to deal with this kind of stuff.
	🥀 5:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yo, Mama!
	5:46pm jtt777: collins rocks
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @5:44 As I say - the Eclecticist may appreciate the Purist as Preservationist of the best in a given Genre. Perhaps an 'eclectic purist' likes many things but has no truck with crossovers or blends...
	5:46pm chresti: ↳ Victor Eremita @5:45 Ain't it the truth haha
	5:46pm love2laf: ↳ Destroit @5:38 I lead off with Tom Waits, and they respond, oh the guy who sings Missing You, and well, I try to explain how that's not the same person, and we have nothing in common.
	5:46pm Midge: I gotta take it on the road. Thanks Mona!
	5:46pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ K8 @5:42 OMG right, RONNIE passed this year too!
	5:47pm Destroit: ↳ love2laf @5:46 Lol fantastic
	5:47pm northguineahills: my brother is about to pick me up in 25 mins. not sure if i'm emotionally prepared to see my mother. probably the last xmas she recognizes me....
	5:48pm K8: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:46 In January, right at the start..
	5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 <3
	5:49pm ?: This threading is terrible.
	🥀 5:49pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 solidarity, ngh. same w/my mama.
	5:49pm love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 They can surprise you, my Dad recognised me last Christmas on the video chat, when most times that didn't happen, and it was a last gift, as he passed in January.
	5:50pm Destroit: ↳ love2laf @5:46 I lead with Negativland. Goes nowhere 99% of time. Negativland was very instrumental in teaching me what was possible not only sonically at times, but what a true radio experience could be.
	5:51pm Smilty69: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 enjoy the moment. She will.
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: wfmu.org...
	5:52pm Destroit: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:51 Nice!
	5:52pm love2laf: ↳ Destroit @5:50 I will work to put myself out of the 99% and give Negativland a listen, cheers!
	5:52pm northguineahills: thanks y'all.. t-giving was the first time in 2 years, and she has declined even since....
	5:52pm Mona: hope you all have a good weekend, stay warm, be safe, keep your head up etc...til next week!

	🥀 5:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mona. Enjoy the holidays! 🖤

	🥀 5:20pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "Kanagaroo" by "This Mortal Coil" I was just thinking about this song the other day! Weird how that happens.
	🥀 5:20pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: More Gothy holiday muzik, plz
	5:20pm van chinski: ↳ Song: "Kanagaroo" by "This Mortal Coil" Perfect

	5:23pm K8: Ah shit, RIP Loretta! And all of these stars...it has been a year of a lot of losses to music...but good to show respect and celebrate what they gave us. Thanks, Mona!
	🥀 5:28pm Ciggy: ↳ Song: "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" by "Julee Cruise / A... I was wondering when
	5:29pm Hörer Christoph: What a great set!
	5:30pm Destroit: I swear this is the 5th str8 week that Mona just puts the perfect puzzle pieces in place, 100% of the time…seamlessly navigating through multiple genres. Just doin my thing, enjoying…and blammo! I’m like how the eff did we get from THAT to Patsy Cline? So great.
	5:31pm Carmichael: Heya Mona and holiday revelers.
	5:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Destroit @5:30 what destroit said...
	5:33pm ryansterlingvirtue: Merry Christmas to Mona and all Monaites
	5:33pm Siobhan: This whole set is changing my mind about Christmas music. So good.
	5:33pm K8: ↳ Destroit @5:30 Mona the magician...work the beauty!
	🥀 5:34pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "The Weeping Song" by "Neil and the Flaming Lips" never heard this version! wow! yes!
	5:34pm ryansterlingvirtue: Never heard this cover. So nice
	5:34pm Mennlinn Rebarts: ↳ Song: "The Weeping Song" by "Neil and the Flaming Lips" This is amazing!

	5:35pm Destroit: ↳ Mennlinn Rebarts @5:34 Gonna get more mazing!
	🥀 5:36pm Ciggy: Thanks Mona Gonna play the archive asap
	5:36pm love2laf: Thank you Mona, this has just been an amazing and frankly, cathartic memory of 2022. Sorry to have missed part of it, but grateful for the archives.
	5:38pm Destroit: Some people ask me, “what music u like”. I mean, how do u answer that? I’ll go from pet shop boys, to loretta lynn, to ambient, to iggy pop, to aphex twin, to miles davis, to fugazi, to the Boss. I mean …next time i’ll just steer em to this show. Touchin all the bases!
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I'm On Fire" by "Bruce Springsteen" ...imaging 'I'm On Fire' covered by TheStooges a'la 'Little Doll'...
	5:38pm Uleeshuh TN: the song that made me say, "Okay, I like Bruce Springstein."
	🥀 5:39pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "I'm On Fire" by "Bruce Springsteen" Every time I hear Springsteen I feel proud to be from NJ.
	5:39pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ K8 @5:23 Loretta, Christine McVie and Julie Cruise
	5:39pm Destroit: This is my favorite Bruce song. I’m not a huge Bruce guy, so only know the hits…but thats like 60 Songs
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:38 *i-m-a-g-i-n-i-n-g...
	5:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Destroit @5:38 Eclectic. As opposed to Purist I think of it.
	5:40pm jtt777: killin' it Mona, such great stuff!
	🥀 5:41pm Magenta: ↳ Destroit @5:38 I just direct them to this station (the website, specifically, so they can listen to the streams). I listen to so many of the programs it’s become impossible to summarize my musical tastes.
	5:41pm Destroit: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:40 Yep. I mean, we can only listen to so much in a day. Its cool to talk to purists in certain genres tho. So much knowledge to mine.
	🥀 5:41pm D Rok: ↳ Song: "Mama" by "Genesis" NOW it's a Friday afternoon!
	5:42pm K8: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:39 Yeah...and Ronnie Spector, Mimi Parker, Rachel Nagy, Olivia Newton-John. Lotsa amazing to miss...
	5:42pm Harry Corvair: Now THIS is a song for the holidays Top notch today, Mona Mama by Genesis
	5:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Destroit @5:38 you know, no one has asked me that question in over a decade.... must be something about myself...
	5:42pm Destroit: Nod to Sheila B? Love it either way.
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:40 ...tho both the Eclecticist & the Purist may be opposed to the Mainstream. & probly are. The Ecelecticist appreciates the Purist as Preservationist - if the Purist may regard the Eclecticist as promiscuous.
	5:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:43 what if you're an eclectic purist?
	🥀 5:44pm Michael 98145: ↳ northguineahills @5:42 most people i know, sadly would never think to ask ... or care to
	5:45pm DanFA: Shout out to Sheila B. Number #1 Phil Collins fan.
	5:45pm Victor Eremita: Mamas always have to deal with this kind of stuff.
	🥀 5:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yo, Mama!
	5:46pm jtt777: collins rocks
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @5:44 As I say - the Eclecticist may appreciate the Purist as Preservationist of the best in a given Genre. Perhaps an 'eclectic purist' likes many things but has no truck with crossovers or blends...
	5:46pm chresti: ↳ Victor Eremita @5:45 Ain't it the truth haha
	5:46pm love2laf: ↳ Destroit @5:38 I lead off with Tom Waits, and they respond, oh the guy who sings Missing You, and well, I try to explain how that's not the same person, and we have nothing in common.
	5:46pm Midge: I gotta take it on the road. Thanks Mona!
	5:46pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ K8 @5:42 OMG right, RONNIE passed this year too!
	5:47pm Destroit: ↳ love2laf @5:46 Lol fantastic
	5:47pm northguineahills: my brother is about to pick me up in 25 mins. not sure if i'm emotionally prepared to see my mother. probably the last xmas she recognizes me....
	5:48pm K8: ↳ Ochre Ogre @5:46 In January, right at the start..
	5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 <3
	5:49pm ?: This threading is terrible.
	🥀 5:49pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 solidarity, ngh. same w/my mama.
	5:49pm love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 They can surprise you, my Dad recognised me last Christmas on the video chat, when most times that didn't happen, and it was a last gift, as he passed in January.
	5:50pm Destroit: ↳ love2laf @5:46 I lead with Negativland. Goes nowhere 99% of time. Negativland was very instrumental in teaching me what was possible not only sonically at times, but what a true radio experience could be.
	5:51pm Smilty69: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 enjoy the moment. She will.
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: wfmu.org...
	5:52pm Destroit: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:51 Nice!
