	♥ 12:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Christmas blessings, Mayuko and Drummer chums.
	12:09pm Mayuko: Happy holidays to you too, Ken!
	♥ 12:10pm fred: Yes, I'm recovering and have fewer doctor appointments now. And I received my christmas present to myself today: the Dust to digital bundle of their 2016 releases
	12:12pm Ike: Greetings and salutations.
	12:13pm Mayuko: @fred wow. That's the BEST Christmas present!!!!!!
	12:13pm Mayuko: Good afternoon, Ike! Thank you for tuning in!
	♥ 12:18pm fred: I've been doing that for a few years, ordering once to save on shipping. The bargain on the bundle was a nice surprise, I hope they will keep doing that
	♥ 12:24pm fred: Nice Gavin Bryars track
	12:27pm Mayuko: Yeah! This album of Gavin Bryars is quite beautiful.
	♥ 12:33pm fred: This makes it 4 clicky-stars in a row, I might as well favorite the show already
	12:34pm Mayuko: haha, despite of the show started with "wonderful christmastime"?!
	♥ 12:37pm fred: I like what I like more than I dislike what I don't. I'm just wired that way
	♥ 12:46pm listener james from westwood: Back from the kitchen! That set was excellent chili-making music!
	12:52pm Doctorjazz: happy holidays, all!
	♥ 12:59pm listener james from westwood: Joy Division was my first-ever karaoke, back in April. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in my case. My friends aren't much up for it, so I never had the chance. Fortunately I was a roomful of hundreds of tipsy copy editors at a convention's afterparty and the margaritas were strong in my veins.
	12:59pm Mayuko: welcome back james! now I'm hungry and want some chili!! Happy holidays to you too, Doctorjazz, thank you for tuning in!
	♥ 12:59pm fred: Dust to Digital released a 2CD+book set of Lomax' prison recordings called Parchman Farm. I think it's out of print, but there's probably a copy in the library. Also, wasn't your bed music a Bjork track?
	♥ 1:00pm listener james from westwood: So I went for one of the classics; with my tremendously narrow vocal range, Curtis was a good match.
	♥ 1:03pm fred: @james: I'll take your word that your range is narrow, but you still need a deep voice to pull it off. I certainly couldn't
	1:07pm Mayuko: Can't imagine Joy Division on Karaoke! Doesn't it make people feel sad and wanting to go home crying rather than partying?!?!
	1:08pm Mayuko: and yes, that was a Bjork track, which I only realized now that it was way too fast to talk over.
	♥ 1:10pm Doug Schulkind: Blue Saturday!
	♥ 1:11pm listener james from westwood: New Order!! This too would be on my karaoke list. (Why yes, I was a heavy WDRE/WLIR listener as a youth.) @fred: Yelling over a crowd all night helped deepen my vocal cords juuuuust enough.
	1:11pm Mayuko: Doug! Happy Saturdays!
	1:12pm Mayuko: haha, I CAN imagine New Order on karaoke, that must be fun!
	♥ 1:12pm listener james from westwood: @Mayuko: Years ago I made chili for the masses during a WFMU Marathon. Nobody went to the hospital, so I'll take that as a success. :)
	♥ 1:13pm listener james from westwood: Doug! Good tidings be on your house!
	♥ 1:14pm fred: Blue Monday was the first New Order track I heard (years before hearing about Joy Division) at a cousin's birthday party. I annoyed the DJ to learn what it was then spent the remaining years of the 80's converting Depeche Mode fans to New Order
	1:14pm Mayuko: Hopefully I'll see you next time during the marathon 2017, james! (((and your food))) if you're around!
	♥ 1:17pm Doug Schulkind: And may good tidings ebb and flow their way to Westwood, Listener James!
	1:19pm Mayuko: It must have been True Faith that I heard New Order for the first time, since it was a huge hit in Japan too. Previous singles must have been too but I don't remember hearing them then.
	♥ 1:20pm fred: Actually, Blue Monday wasn't the first. New Order tracks were used as theme and/or background music in music shows on French TV (including the top hits countdown). I just didn't know it was New Order
	1:21pm Ike: I don't think James's chili is Jewish. (IS there such a thing as Jewish chili?)
	1:24pm Mayuko: Blue Monday was used for some TV commercial too, is that right? I don't know how one can handle it when you write a song about a close friend who committed suicide, and hear it being used to sell some irrelevant products. That must be surreal.
	1:30pm Ike: Sorry, that was a very silly proofreading joke (sort of).
	1:32pm melinda: This is fun
	♥ 1:33pm fred: This is insanely good and insane in a good way
	1:34pm Mayuko: That was PARTY MUSIC, melinda! thought we needed some festive feeling! welcome on board!
	1:34pm Mayuko: I agree, fred.
	1:49pm Mayuko: THIS IS MY LAST SONG TODAY!!!!!!!!!
	1:49pm Mayuko: Thank you all for listening.
	♥ 1:50pm fred: No! You can't end such a great show with this
	1:51pm (((Ike))): Oh no! Ha ha ha, yikes.
	♥ 1:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: That was a fast two hours. Thanks, Mayuko, and enjoy the holidays. Can't believe it'll be New Years Eve next Saturday already.
	1:52pm Mayuko: THIS would be my pick for karaoke though!!!
	♥ 1:55pm fred: Then again, keeping christmas trees around turns them into a fire hazard
	1:58pm melinda: Kentucky Fried chicken and motel sex? Haha
	1:58pm rw: Thank you Mayuko! Excellent xmas show!!
	♥ 1:59pm fred: Thanks Mayuko!
	♥ 2:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Mayuko! Best present ever!
	2:02pm Mayuko: @fred good point! Sad Face.
	2:02pm Mayuko: Thank you everyone again for listening!!! Have a great week, see you next week.
	♥ 4:16pm fred: Playing that last track looks eerie by now
	10:46pm Mayuko: It did feel strange to hear the news! So sad there is no next Christmas for him.

I play music that is old and that is new. Some of it is digital while some is analog. It is from many different countries; sometimes it is loud and at other times it is quiet.
