	6:30am medson: It wasn’t a Bass it was a Guitar. Get it ? 🤣
	6:31am Adam-12: The Bible makes no mention of Jesus being born on December 25th and, as more than one historian has pointed out, why would shepherds be tending to their flock in the middle of winter? So why is that the day we celebrate? Well, either Christian holidays miraculously fall on the same days as pagan ones or the Christians have been crafty in converting pagan populations to religion by placing important Christian holidays on the same days as pagan ones. And people had been celebrating on December 25th (and the surrounding weeks) for centuries by the time Jesus showed up.
	6:33am morphe': Simon says YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ps - future ref ... The video is well worth a watch !!!!

When I was a college student in Philly in the 60s, my roommate and I always passed through the iconic City Hall(with the majestic statue of Ben Franklin on top) on our way back to campus on the subway. We never failed to find a group of young male teens practicing their harmony do-wop singing in the echoey alcoves of the building. Fond memories of a long ago time. Merry Christmas to you!
	7:30am van chinski: Great show as always, Todd. Off to sleep, have a swell day, everyone. Watch Christmas Evil.
	7:32am Creature Boy: What's Christmas Evil?
	7:33am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Creature Boy: www.imdb.com...
	7:33am Krys O.: Is it too early for peppermint bark? No, it's never to early for peppermint bark.
	7:34am TheNewLexGofer: Here's a link for Tull and ELP fans. Lake & Anderson performing "I Believe in Father Christmas in an English church. Kinda neat. youtu.be...
	7:34am morphe': Ah Yes - the long ago Times SQ - Samuel Delany's book TIME SQ RED, TIMES SQ BLUE is quite insightful about the days and a critique of the changes/loss...

	7:37am Fredericks: "Freshly produced ambergris has a marine, fecal odor. It acquires a sweet, earthy scent as it ages."
	7:37am Creature Boy: Google lists Solomon Burke as an "American preacher" first and foremost
	7:38am TDK60: Good morning.

	8:14am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @morphe': interesting that you mention the music there...in its final years off St. Marks (but before the store moved further east) the musical selection when I walked in there was largely superb.
	8:14am clay addict: Thank u Todd; touched by god ( as far as playlists go)... and maybe beyond).
	8:16am Gerry from Miami: "Fairy Tale of New York" is so incredibly great! Tom Waits's ""Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" is also right up there. And "2000 Miles" from the Pretenders! Thanks,Todd. You know your Yuletide tunes. I am so happy and so sad at the same time. Christnas can do that to you.

	8:19am jeanjae: Best wishes to Todd and glisteners.
	8:21am YETI BOB: I used to say, the holiday season wasn't complete until I heard Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" (I don't like the song, mind you). This year I might have to play it myself because I just didn't spend time in the kind of places where they play that.
	8:21am Strandlund: RAMONES!!!
	8:21am YETI BOB: Or maybe it's just out of style. Merry Christmas everyone!
	8:21am medson: Great tunes and coffee. Perfect.

	8:22am superbryntendo: Todd my iPhone Xmas playlist has a most of these jams for the holiday! Awesome stuff🎶 Merry Christmas! ☃️🤘🏻
	8:22am YETI BOB: Hey morphe'. I'm sure you must have sold me some books, I was a New Jersey kid who came in to NYC every weekend and I bought a lot of books at that store
	8:24am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @superbryntendo: You must have a kick-ass playlist!
	8:25am Dot: Merry Christmas Joey, RIP 🕎🎄❄️⛄
	8:26am annette: @ Yeti, used books are such a rarity. luckily, in my small town, we still have a very active give and take book shed. such comfort having paper in hand.
	8:27am Tom from Stirling.: Hey! It was Dr. Anthony Fauci birthday yesterday. Today it Jesus birthday. Crazy
	8:27am Rachel Bo Bachel: Todd, you are such a sport! Good morning everybody, merry merry!
	8:28am morphe': Yeti - surely then ... caught an older teen stealing sci-fi... I explained to him that we could get full credit on mass market paperbacks by returning the covers.. I told him make his selections and get the books (minus the front cover) for free and hassle free - was that you Yeti?????
	8:28am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Rachel Bo Rachel: Good sport or sucker?!!? It's a fine line! Hope you and your family have a good one!
	8:28am Doug in JC: Todd, we need a birthday shoutout for Efrem. He's had a terrible terrible year. You might remember him from DJing his wedding with Gaylord
	8:28am YETI BOB: @Annette: I agree, I love used book stores, but I used to buy mostly new books at St Marks. I live in Chicago now and there are some good bookstores near where I live.
	8:29am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Doug in JC: Oh damn, I am sorry to hear that...good dude!
	8:29am Listener Bop Monroe: and a dozen copies of Miserlou
	8:29am TDK60: I mostly went to St. Marks for the radical newspapers and music magz.
	8:29am YETI BOB: @morphe': No, I was too timid to try anything like that!! In my mind I was a super-rebellious punk rocker but in my presentation to the world I was a polite soft-spoken kid.
	8:30am YETI BOB: it's very cool that you made that offer instead of just tossing him out on the street
	8:30am Gerry from Miami: The Crossfires out of Westchester High in LtA! Better known as the freakin' Turtles!!
	8:31am Tom from Stirling.: Used books got all those funny markings and colors and whatnot. Hate to think where that nasty stuff came from.
	8:32am YETI BOB: @Tom: It varies, I've picked up some used art books in perfect condition. Hardcovers tend to be less marked up and beat up than paperbacks.
	8:32am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Maybe I'm just weird, but I love the smell of a new book.
	8:33am GUMBY: Merry Christmas Todd and all Freeformers out there!!!!
	8:33am Sarah: Lots of fun this morning thanks
	8:33am taryninstereo: May all your Chinese food orders be delicious if you didn’t take care of that tradition yesterday. More importantly, what movies are you watching today?
	8:33am john_NN_nn_n: loving the toons in brooklyn
	8:33am Earthwalker: Annette. We were not long ago up in the French Alpes a small town we found a free books booth shed originals French books
	8:33am Tom from Stirling.: Library books too. Those stains. Yuck
	8:34am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @taryninstereo: Seems like "Christmas Evil" is the film of choice among those gathered here!
	8:34am Rick A.: Throughout all of the WFMU Christmas shows, I have yet to hear anything from the Dwight Twilley Christmas album from 2005. Christmas Stars is a very moving song from that album.
	8:35am Deborah: Todd-o-phonic Todd: Not weird at all! New books are exciting. Used books tell many stories besides what is being read.
	8:35am Tom from Stirling.: @Rick A. : yeah, and what about the Roches?!
	8:35am annette: @Yeti. actually bought a bookshelf when i moved and retired. it was a great big hand made L shaped. had to take the door off the hinges to haul it up the stairs.
	8:35am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Rick A: Evan played "Christmas Night" from that album on Wednesday night.
	8:36am Gerry from Miami: Typo-- the Crossfires/Turtles were from Westchester High in LA. Knew the band's first bassist, Chuck Portz. Great guy, but he quit the band early. He told me that the life of a young rock band on the road was somehing he wanted no part of. Imagine!
	8:36am Dot: Never heard the Xmas song by Wild Billy Childish before. December is my favorite month to listen to fmu!!
	8:36am taryninstereo: @Todd Thank you for the recap!
	8:37am MFlynn: Once saw Dr. John share a bill with John Prine, Show billed as a “couple of Johns”.
	8:37am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Todd and glisteners. Enjoying the seasonal tunes today. 🤶 🎁 🎅 🎄
	8:37am morphe': Yeti - I told him come in late Friday or Sat eve so no owners would be about .. he came back fairly regularly ... least a person could do for a sweet "polite soft-spoken kid."
	8:37am TDK60: I saw Billy Childish once (during a blues phase). He said his mustache was better than Jack White's.
	8:38am Barkevious Shabazz: Can we take a moment this yuletide to consider the splendor of Roz Kelly in "New Years Evil"?
	8:38am Todd-o-phonic Todd: "New Year's Evil"?!!?
	8:38am Corey: The suspense builds!
	8:39am Earthwalker: Still have a bunch of 60s books I bought in San Francisco. Ex. Abby Hoffman Steal this book
	8:39am Listener Bop Monroe: goodness, what trauma!
	8:40am annette: @Tary, got great chinese walking distance. downed a bucket of dumplings. but savoured 3 meals of vegetable ho fun. Happy Holiday.
	8:43am Barkevious Shabazz: Yes, TOPT, "New Year's Evil" packs a wollop!
	8:43am YETI BOB: @TDK60: Not even a question in my mind, Billy Childish has the best moustache
	8:43am hifivicky: never thought of Levon as a xmas song but it totally fits! brilliant!
	8:43am Earthwalker: Last time I saw Elton got a big hug ! He’s good people !
	8:45am taryninstereo: Yay, @annette! I’m usually not at home this time of year and enjoy Chinese food elsewhere (loved doing that with my husband’s grandma in South Florida), but tonight I’ll be ordering locally from Ma LaLa in Astoria.
	8:45am Rick A.: Thanks, Todd, I will check the archive. I'm a bit surprised that it has not been on regular rotation.
	8:46am Hoboken Jack: Happy 16th night of Hanukkah, everybody!
	8:46am HyperDose: Yes Otis, speak your bluesy wisdom!
	8:47am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Rick A: It's too chilly for Twilley!
	8:47am Carla: Todd Rungren, Elton and Otis. Now there's a holy trinity!
	8:47am Buddha of Suburbia: Good morning Todd! Morning and afternoon friends!! Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël!

	8:48am DonJuanTijuana: Late to the party, Merry Christmas @TOPT!!!
	8:48am taryninstereo: @Jack What happens when we get to the lucky 18th night or do we stop at 16 nights? I forget.
	8:48am Earthwalker: Hi Buddha Merry Christmas !
	8:49am LES Brian: Marry Christmas!! This reminds me that Serv-a-tron (the Man or Astroman spin-off) has a great Xmas 45.
	8:49am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. If Christmas stuff can go on sale before Halloween, Hanukkah can certainly extend a bit as well.
	8:50am Hoboken Jack: Taryn, little known rule but there is a second 7th inning stretch.
	8:50am medson: Thanks for the great morning of music Todd. Catch ya next time. Have a Happy.
	8:50am Rick A.: Fair enough, I'm not sure what that means; Twilley has a more west coast vibe? Either way, happy Christmas Todd, great fill in show.
	8:50am MFlynn: Thanks a ton Todd!!
	8:51am Handy Haversack: Hey hey, Todd and all the Glisteners! Merry and happy and whatnot unto you all. Kate was trying to get me to sleep in more, Todd, but I wanted to catch the last few minutes at least -- thanks for being here!

	8:53am TheNewLexGofer: Merry Christmas, Todd and Glisteners! Good stuff!
	8:53am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Rick A: One time I was doing a gig with Dwight...I think it was in early March or something like that...he called me at 2 a.m. the night before and asked me what the weather was like (even though his gig the night he called was in Philly and our gig was in Brooklyn). I told him it was in the low 50's, mild for the time of year. And he said, "That's chilly for Twilley". It's stuck with me!
	8:53am Earthwalker: Thanks The Show Todd !

	6:30am medson: It wasn’t a Bass it was a Guitar. Get it ? 🤣
	6:31am Adam-12: The Bible makes no mention of Jesus being born on December 25th and, as more than one historian has pointed out, why would shepherds be tending to their flock in the middle of winter? So why is that the day we celebrate? Well, either Christian holidays miraculously fall on the same days as pagan ones or the Christians have been crafty in converting pagan populations to religion by placing important Christian holidays on the same days as pagan ones. And people had been celebrating on December 25th (and the surrounding weeks) for centuries by the time Jesus showed up.

Thanks,Todd. You know your Yuletide tunes. I am so happy and so sad at the same time. Christnas can do that to you.
	8:16am Daybreak & Son: 8:15 I just released Daybreak’s son to Wake Daybreak’s daughter... This will likely be my last transmission... Merry Christmas everyone, my son and I had a good time reading the comments to keep him from crawling out of his skin!!!
	8:19am jeanjae: Best wishes to Todd and glisteners.
	8:21am YETI BOB: I used to say, the holiday season wasn't complete until I heard Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" (I don't like the song, mind you). This year I might have to play it myself because I just didn't spend time in the kind of places where they play that.
	8:21am Strandlund: RAMONES!!!
	8:21am YETI BOB: Or maybe it's just out of style. Merry Christmas everyone!
	8:21am medson: Great tunes and coffee. Perfect.
	8:21am morphe': St Marks .. other than xmas .... a lot of good music ... Stanley Crouch used to complain a lot - we called him Stanely Grouch!!!! as in, "f*** Stanely Grouch is here..."
	8:22am Otto: Merry merry merry!
	8:22am Earthwalker: Daybreak. Kids ya can’t live with em Ya can’t take em out back and shoot em I have 3
	8:22am superbryntendo: Todd my iPhone Xmas playlist has a most of these jams for the holiday! Awesome stuff🎶 Merry Christmas! ☃️🤘🏻
	8:22am YETI BOB: Hey morphe'. I'm sure you must have sold me some books, I was a New Jersey kid who came in to NYC every weekend and I bought a lot of books at that store
	8:24am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @superbryntendo: You must have a kick-ass playlist!
	8:25am Dot: Merry Christmas Joey, RIP 🕎🎄❄️⛄
	8:26am annette: @ Yeti, used books are such a rarity. luckily, in my small town, we still have a very active give and take book shed. such comfort having paper in hand.
	8:27am Tom from Stirling.: Hey! It was Dr. Anthony Fauci birthday yesterday. Today it Jesus birthday. Crazy
	8:27am Rachel Bo Bachel: Todd, you are such a sport! Good morning everybody, merry merry!
	8:28am morphe': Yeti - surely then ... caught an older teen stealing sci-fi... I explained to him that we could get full credit on mass market paperbacks by returning the covers.. I told him make his selections and get the books (minus the front cover) for free and hassle free - was that you Yeti?????
	8:28am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Rachel Bo Rachel: Good sport or sucker?!!? It's a fine line! Hope you and your family have a good one!
	8:28am Doug in JC: Todd, we need a birthday shoutout for Efrem. He's had a terrible terrible year. You might remember him from DJing his wedding with Gaylord
	8:28am YETI BOB: @Annette: I agree, I love used book stores, but I used to buy mostly new books at St Marks. I live in Chicago now and there are some good bookstores near where I live.
	8:29am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Doug in JC: Oh damn, I am sorry to hear that...good dude!
	8:29am Listener Bop Monroe: and a dozen copies of Miserlou
	8:29am TDK60: I mostly went to St. Marks for the radical newspapers and music magz.
	8:29am YETI BOB: @morphe': No, I was too timid to try anything like that!! In my mind I was a super-rebellious punk rocker but in my presentation to the world I was a polite soft-spoken kid.
	8:30am YETI BOB: it's very cool that you made that offer instead of just tossing him out on the street
	8:30am Gerry from Miami: The Crossfires out of Westchester High in LtA! Better known as the freakin' Turtles!!
	8:31am Tom from Stirling.: Used books got all those funny markings and colors and whatnot. Hate to think where that nasty stuff came from.
	8:32am YETI BOB: @Tom: It varies, I've picked up some used art books in perfect condition. Hardcovers tend to be less marked up and beat up than paperbacks.
	8:32am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Maybe I'm just weird, but I love the smell of a new book.
	8:33am GUMBY: Merry Christmas Todd and all Freeformers out there!!!!
	8:33am Sarah: Lots of fun this morning thanks
	8:33am taryninstereo: May all your Chinese food orders be delicious if you didn’t take care of that tradition yesterday. More importantly, what movies are you watching today?
	8:33am john_NN_nn_n: loving the toons in brooklyn
	8:33am Earthwalker: Annette. We were not long ago up in the French Alpes a small town we found a free books booth shed originals French books

	8:34am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @taryninstereo: Seems like "Christmas Evil" is the film of choice among those gathered here!
	8:34am Rick A.: Throughout all of the WFMU Christmas shows, I have yet to hear anything from the Dwight Twilley Christmas album from 2005. Christmas Stars is a very moving song from that album.
	8:35am Deborah: Todd-o-phonic Todd: Not weird at all! New books are exciting. Used books tell many stories besides what is being read.
	8:35am Tom from Stirling.: @Rick A. : yeah, and what about the Roches?!
	8:35am annette: @Yeti. actually bought a bookshelf when i moved and retired. it was a great big hand made L shaped. had to take the door off the hinges to haul it up the stairs.
	8:35am Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Rick A: Evan played "Christmas Night" from that album on Wednesday night.
	8:36am Gerry from Miami: Typo-- the Crossfires/Turtles were from Westchester High in LA. Knew the band's first bassist, Chuck Portz. Great guy, but he quit the band early. He told me that the life of a young rock band on the road was somehing he wanted no part of. Imagine!
	8:36am Dot: Never heard the Xmas song by Wild Billy Childish before. December is my favorite month to listen to fmu!!
	8:36am taryninstereo: @Todd Thank you for the recap!
	8:37am MFlynn: Once saw Dr. John share a bill with John Prine, Show billed as a “couple of Johns”.
	8:37am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Todd and glisteners. Enjoying the seasonal tunes today. 🤶 🎁 🎅 🎄
	8:37am morphe': Yeti - I told him come in late Friday or Sat eve so no owners would be about .. he came back fairly regularly ... least a person could do for a sweet "polite soft-spoken kid."
	8:37am TDK60: I saw Billy Childish once (during a blues phase). He said his mustache was better than Jack White's.
	8:38am Barkevious Shabazz: Can we take a moment this yuletide to consider the splendor of Roz Kelly in "New Years Evil"?

	8:43am Barkevious Shabazz: Yes, TOPT, "New Year's Evil" packs a wollop!
	8:43am YETI BOB: @TDK60: Not even a question in my mind, Billy Childish has the best moustache

	8:45am Rick A.: Thanks, Todd, I will check the archive. I'm a bit surprised that it has not been on regular rotation.
	8:46am Hoboken Jack: Happy 16th night of Hanukkah, everybody!

	8:48am Earthwalker: Hi Buddha Merry Christmas !
	8:49am LES Brian: Marry Christmas!! This reminds me that Serv-a-tron (the Man or Astroman spin-off) has a great Xmas 45.
	8:49am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. If Christmas stuff can go on sale before Halloween, Hanukkah can certainly extend a bit as well.
	8:50am Hoboken Jack: Taryn, little known rule but there is a second 7th inning stretch.
	8:50am medson: Thanks for the great morning of music Todd. Catch ya next time. Have a Happy.

I told him it was in the low 50's, mild for the time of year. And he said, "That's chilly for Twilley". It's stuck with me!
