	♥ 8:07pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:06 The amount of energy people exhale over telling people, "no, it's Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays" is exhausting to me.
	♥ 8:07pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ brycepunk1 @8:05 we gotta look out for the Wet Bandits
	♥ 8:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ DanFA @8:07 I think "it's all made up, bro," might be the best response I've ever heard.

	♥ 8:55pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, honky tonk Becky! Looking forward to freeform Becky!
	🎸 ♥ 8:56pm ultradamno: The Singing Surgeon sounds like a horror movie...but then I also think Orion on his x-mas album cover looks like a slasher villain sunrecords.com... or just as much is1-ssl.mzstatic.com...

	9:31pm Motobro: Merry Christmas Becky and all !!

	♥ 9:57pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "When Do I Get To Sing “My Way”" by "Sparks" YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 9:57pm DanFA: Is this the trip hop/dance music part of the show?
	10:03pm AMYGDALA: ↳ DanFA @9:57 Sweet-sounding free form amorphousness - love it! These bonus tunes bring back all sorts of great memories.
	♥ 10:05pm Handy Haversack: Oh, fingers crossed this cassette tape works!
	10:05pm Daybreak!: This is quintessential freeform radio! Go Becky go! Take us to Barcelona...
	♥ 10:06pm Handy Haversack: We have a friend (well, more aye a friend o' a friend, like) whose grandfather started the Barcelona football club. They have no stake anymore, but he (a philosopher) still gets a box seat.
	10:07pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:06 ROYALTY
	♥ 10:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @10:07 Right? It was with him that I first had pickled white asparagus with mayonnaise!
	♥ 10:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:08 We have a very good friend who's a philosopher in Barcelona and can get us a free or cheap place to stay when we get out there Just haven't been able to afford it since before the pandemic.

	10:27pm Becky: ↳ JEM99 @10:24 I guess I'd call myself an agnostic Christmas celebrator, but I also made latkes this week. And, sorry but I have no idea how to answer the phone!
	♥ 10:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @10:27 When we have latke technology, I don't understand why we don't make latkes every week. It seems like a problem that's been solved.
	10:32pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:31 You're so right.
	♥ 10:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:31 My go-to breakfast potatoes are basically one enormous latke (with jalapeno and serrano). We are doubling down on this during this break.
	10:33pm AMYGDALA: How ya holding up Becky, getting hungry? I can DoorDash you some local foodstuffs to help keep you free-forming. Places nearby appear to be closing soon. How 'bout some nice spicy Pad Thai if I can find some?
	♥ 10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if Olivia has a fridge of emergency ravioli that can be heated up.
	10:35pm Becky: ↳ AMYGDALA @10:33 That's nice of you but I stuffed my face at Honky Tonk Radio Mom's before I came here!
	♥ 10:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:34 I made spinach manicotti tonight, and part of the prep was a two-and-a-half-hour neighborhood odyssey walk yesterday to get the fresh pasta and handmade ricotta for them. While I was there I grabbed a box of frozen artichoke ravioli, figuring you never know when you might need them! Also the new Cure record, but that was a different store.
	♥ 10:37pm Handy Haversack: Did that "96 Teardrops" cover make the playlist? Was that the Ideals?
	10:38pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:37 Sure wasn't! Now resolved.
	♥ 10:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @10:38 There we are. Clicky-star situation dealt with!
	♥ 10:39pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:37 Thanks for asking, because I was looking to favorite it but confused
	10:40pm JEM99: has anyone seen A Complete Unknown with Timothee yet? I saw it earlier and it's great.
	10:44pm AMYGDALA: ↳ Becky @10:35 Glad to hear your Mom hooked you up Becky. Good name for a restaurant, Honky Tonk Radio Mom's.
	♥ 10:49pm Drunken Creep: Sounding good DJ, merry holidays all, and a good new year ahead

	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm ultradamno: RIP SD
	♥ 10:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:36 Sounds like success to me!
	♥ 10:53pm Handy Haversack: HTRG LPs! OMG!

	10:59pm Motobro: ↳ Song: "Kundalini Express" by "Love and Rockets" Good stuff !!
	♥ 11:03pm Handy Haversack: Gonna invite Becky to see the Eagles, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Loverboy ...
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm ultradamno: I could imagine Barry Adamson doing this
	11:05pm Becky: 7 Second Delay'd it! Hope it worked
	♥ 11:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @11:05 We're in safe harbor. Even by station standards, we're five minutes in!
	11:06pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:06 There are so few hillbilly records with f-bombs
	11:08pm Motobro: ↳ Becky @11:06 Why is that ?! A well placed F bomb is a beautiful ting.
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm ultradamno: Well, so much rockabilly had hopes of radio play
	♥ 11:10pm PigeonsAndRust: I didn't hear it listening over the air, but nothing to worry about at this time of night.
	♥ 11:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @11:06 My new pet project is to get Clay Pigeon to do his Human Dump Button bit for some tracks off the David Cross album Shut Up You Fucking Baby.
	♥ 11:12pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" by "George Harrison" so Lovely!
	♥ 11:12pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Song: "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" by "George Harrison" Music by the legendary Harold Arlen and words by Ted Koehler. I played a few versions of this last week from '32 and '36. Great song!!!
	♥ 11:13pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:12 😆😆
	11:15pm JEM99: ↳ Song: "Like Dylan in the Movies" by "Belle and Sebastian" love it

	11:17pm Greg from ZONE 5: WOW the seldom-played “tej” album
	11:18pm Becky: It didn't even come up in our Kenzo database!
	11:18pm JEM99: ↳ Song: ""(None)"" by "Ted Leo/Rx" woah whats this called
	11:19pm Becky: ↳ JEM99 @11:18 it is called "(none)"
	🎸 ♥ 11:19pm ultradamno: The rare move of quoting that scene from Deliverance in a love song
	11:19pm JEM99: lol i thought i was tripping for a sec
	♥ 11:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Pretty Persuasion" by "R.E.M." Excellent. I read two R.E.M. biographies back-to-back recently and was a little scared I'd be unable to read anything that wasn't an R.E.M. biography. I'm through that now, but still! Such a tune, this!
	♥ 11:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: ∅ is sometimes a shorthand for "none."
	♥ 11:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Pretty Persuasion" by "R.E.M." Also, I picked this LP up at Record Fair this year!
	♥ 11:22pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:21 You're gonna have me googling "none vs. null" which means I'm going to learn something even on Christmas
	♥ 11:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @11:22 Collect the whole set!
	11:24pm RichB: I love The “Nice People” Argument from that Tej album
	11:24pm neuropsychology: I have been listening to 8 years of HTRG, but this is the first time I've listened to it live. What a great festive event - going by too quickly! Thank you!
	♥ 11:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:23 A chance to fall down a shaft in the word mines.
	♥ 11:25pm Jim the Poet: I love the Bob Dylan movie
	11:25pm JEM99: the movie is great and timothee does dylan justice
	♥ 11:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Jim the Poet @11:25 👍👍👍
	♥ 11:27pm Jim the Poet: Chefs kiss
	11:27pm Becky: ↳ neuropsychology @11:24 Great to have you here!
	11:28pm JEM99: ↳ Jim the Poet @11:25 ur up next!
	♥ 11:28pm Handy Haversack: Might be too late, but I just thought of a request: that you play the song you like the most that Lou Reed is involved with.
	11:28pm neuropsychology: ↳ Becky @11:27 Thank you!
	11:30pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:28 Ok, the next time I do a freeform show, or maybe even if not freeform, I promise to bring it in. It was recorded at my job so I can't pull it up just now!
	♥ 11:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @11:30 I am intrigued!
	11:30pm blurry: Can't believe you are playing Fairuz! Shukran Becky!
	♥ 11:32pm Handy Haversack: Backup request: anything by Drivin' N' Cryin' but especially "Honeysuckle Blue."

	♥ 11:35pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Song: "Dancing In The Dark" by "Terence Blanchard" Becky plays not one but two 1931 hits in one night!!

	11:41pm blurry: ↳ Becky @11:32 We just danced at my Niece's wedding and played Fairuz. Thanks for making our night and all the best for 2025 Becky! What a great show Thx!!
	11:42pm AMYGDALA: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @11:35 I must have missed the earlier one, which one was that please? I'm a big fan of '20s and '30s jazz; there's a slew of favs. on two Tube playlists of mine, if you're so inclined... www.youtube.com... and www.youtube.com...
	11:44pm Motobro: Thank you Becky. ❤️
	♥ 11:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ AMYGDALA @11:42 It was Harrison doing "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea," I think.
	11:46pm pp: ↳ Song: "Pretty Persuasion" by "R.E.M." Classic REM sound with echoes of "Couldn't I Just Tell You"
	♥ 11:48pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ AMYGDALA @11:42 What Handy said. Yeah, me too! I've accumulated thousands of 20s and 30s 78s. Rich Conaty was a dear friend, gone 8 years next week. Hard to believe. Go see Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks if you never have!!! Every Monday at Birdland
	11:48pm AMYGDALA: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:45 Many thanks Handy, I missed that! That's probably it, Al Bowly and others did versions of that tune way back when.
	♥ 11:53pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ AMYGDALA @11:48 Also check out the Hot Club of NY, they have a record party on Zoom every Monday I believe.
	11:54pm dave: Thanks Becky!!!
	♥ 11:55pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Becky! This was totally rad! Love the freeforming. And of course glad to look forward to another highlight hour of honky-tonking next week. Merry happy, all. Days are getting longer.
	♥ 11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Becky. A month of shows in one night is quite a good accomplishment!
	♥ 11:56pm Kat in the chat: Been lurking but enjoying, thank you Becky!
	♥ 11:56pm PigeonsAndRust: ...and to all a good night!! Thanks Becky for the perfect finis to Xmas
	11:57pm Becky: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:56 Haha, never thought of it that way! Thanks for listening, everyone!
	11:57pm AMYGDALA: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @11:48 Very sorry to hear that your friend Rich Conaty passed away. I'm pretty sure I had recording of his shows, and many others from WFMU and WPRB on cassettes which my significant other made me dish citing obsolescence. I regret that I didn't push back on that. Thanks for the great leads - much appreciated. Sounds like you have an impressive collection.
	11:58pm neuropsychology: Midnight arrives. Have a good night and thank you!
	11:58pm AMYGDALA: Terrific show Becky - loved the mix. Thanks for the four solid hours of sweet tunes!

	♥ 8:07pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:06 The amount of energy people exhale over telling people, "no, it's Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays" is exhausting to me.

	10:27pm Becky: ↳ JEM99 @10:24 I guess I'd call myself an agnostic Christmas celebrator, but I also made latkes this week. And, sorry but I have no idea how to answer the phone!
	♥ 10:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @10:27 When we have latke technology, I don't understand why we don't make latkes every week. It seems like a problem that's been solved.

	♥ 10:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:31 My go-to breakfast potatoes are basically one enormous latke (with jalapeno and serrano). We are doubling down on this during this break.

	♥ 10:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:34 I made spinach manicotti tonight, and part of the prep was a two-and-a-half-hour neighborhood odyssey walk yesterday to get the fresh pasta and handmade ricotta for them. While I was there I grabbed a box of frozen artichoke ravioli, figuring you never know when you might need them! Also the new Cure record, but that was a different store.
	♥ 10:37pm Handy Haversack: Did that "96 Teardrops" cover make the playlist? Was that the Ideals?
	10:38pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:37 Sure wasn't! Now resolved.
	♥ 10:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @10:38 There we are. Clicky-star situation dealt with!
	♥ 10:39pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:37 Thanks for asking, because I was looking to favorite it but confused
	10:40pm JEM99: has anyone seen A Complete Unknown with Timothee yet? I saw it earlier and it's great.

	♥ 11:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @11:05 We're in safe harbor. Even by station standards, we're five minutes in!
	11:06pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:06 There are so few hillbilly records with f-bombs
	11:08pm Motobro: ↳ Becky @11:06 Why is that ?! A well placed F bomb is a beautiful ting.
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm ultradamno: Well, so much rockabilly had hopes of radio play
	♥ 11:10pm PigeonsAndRust: I didn't hear it listening over the air, but nothing to worry about at this time of night.
	♥ 11:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @11:06 My new pet project is to get Clay Pigeon to do his Human Dump Button bit for some tracks off the David Cross album Shut Up You Fucking Baby.

	♥ 11:12pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Song: "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" by "George Harrison" Music by the legendary Harold Arlen and words by Ted Koehler. I played a few versions of this last week from '32 and '36. Great song!!!

	11:18pm JEM99: ↳ Song: ""(None)"" by "Ted Leo/Rx" woah whats this called

	11:19pm JEM99: lol i thought i was tripping for a sec
	♥ 11:21pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Pretty Persuasion" by "R.E.M." Excellent. I read two R.E.M. biographies back-to-back recently and was a little scared I'd be unable to read anything that wasn't an R.E.M. biography. I'm through that now, but still! Such a tune, this!
	♥ 11:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: ∅ is sometimes a shorthand for "none."
	♥ 11:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Pretty Persuasion" by "R.E.M." Also, I picked this LP up at Record Fair this year!
	♥ 11:22pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:21 You're gonna have me googling "none vs. null" which means I'm going to learn something even on Christmas
	♥ 11:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @11:22 Collect the whole set!
	11:24pm RichB: I love The “Nice People” Argument from that Tej album
	11:24pm neuropsychology: I have been listening to 8 years of HTRG, but this is the first time I've listened to it live. What a great festive event - going by too quickly! Thank you!
	♥ 11:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:23 A chance to fall down a shaft in the word mines.

	♥ 11:28pm Handy Haversack: Might be too late, but I just thought of a request: that you play the song you like the most that Lou Reed is involved with.
	11:28pm neuropsychology: ↳ Becky @11:27 Thank you!
	11:30pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:28 Ok, the next time I do a freeform show, or maybe even if not freeform, I promise to bring it in. It was recorded at my job so I can't pull it up just now!
	♥ 11:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Becky @11:30 I am intrigued!
	11:30pm blurry: Can't believe you are playing Fairuz! Shukran Becky!
	♥ 11:32pm Handy Haversack: Backup request: anything by Drivin' N' Cryin' but especially "Honeysuckle Blue."
	11:32pm Becky: ↳ blurry @11:30 One of my closest friends danced to it with his mom at his wedding!
	♥ 11:35pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Song: "Dancing In The Dark" by "Terence Blanchard" Becky plays not one but two 1931 hits in one night!!

	11:41pm blurry: ↳ Becky @11:32 We just danced at my Niece's wedding and played Fairuz. Thanks for making our night and all the best for 2025 Becky! What a great show Thx!!
	11:42pm AMYGDALA: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @11:35 I must have missed the earlier one, which one was that please? I'm a big fan of '20s and '30s jazz; there's a slew of favs. on two Tube playlists of mine, if you're so inclined... www.youtube.com... and www.youtube.com...
	11:44pm Motobro: Thank you Becky. ❤️
	♥ 11:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ AMYGDALA @11:42 It was Harrison doing "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea," I think.
	11:46pm pp: ↳ Song: "Pretty Persuasion" by "R.E.M." Classic REM sound with echoes of "Couldn't I Just Tell You"
	♥ 11:48pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ AMYGDALA @11:42 What Handy said. Yeah, me too! I've accumulated thousands of 20s and 30s 78s. Rich Conaty was a dear friend, gone 8 years next week. Hard to believe. Go see Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks if you never have!!! Every Monday at Birdland
	11:48pm AMYGDALA: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:45 Many thanks Handy, I missed that! That's probably it, Al Bowly and others did versions of that tune way back when.
	♥ 11:53pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ AMYGDALA @11:48 Also check out the Hot Club of NY, they have a record party on Zoom every Monday I believe.
	11:54pm dave: Thanks Becky!!!
	♥ 11:55pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Becky! This was totally rad! Love the freeforming. And of course glad to look forward to another highlight hour of honky-tonking next week. Merry happy, all. Days are getting longer.
	♥ 11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Becky. A month of shows in one night is quite a good accomplishment!
	♥ 11:56pm Kat in the chat: Been lurking but enjoying, thank you Becky!
	♥ 11:56pm PigeonsAndRust: ...and to all a good night!! Thanks Becky for the perfect finis to Xmas
	11:57pm Becky: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:56 Haha, never thought of it that way! Thanks for listening, everyone!
	11:57pm AMYGDALA: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @11:48 Very sorry to hear that your friend Rich Conaty passed away. I'm pretty sure I had recording of his shows, and many others from WFMU and WPRB on cassettes which my significant other made me dish citing obsolescence. I regret that I didn't push back on that. Thanks for the great leads - much appreciated. Sounds like you have an impressive collection.
	11:58pm neuropsychology: Midnight arrives. Have a good night and thank you!
	11:58pm AMYGDALA: Terrific show Becky - loved the mix. Thanks for the four solid hours of sweet tunes!
