Listener comments!
	6:43pm C.S.: I'll be keeping my pants on, thank you very much.
	🦇 6:58pm Julie: That's fine, it's optional!
	🦇 7:01pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy Christmas Eve, Julie! ... And all!
	7:01pm listener james from westwood: w00t—Silent night, Dark Night!
	7:02pm WR: Yeah, a bit chilly this evening. Thinking hot chocolate with brandy as a warmer.
	🦇 7:02pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Julie and Dark Night: Nights! We're just finishing supper ...
	🦇 7:03pm Julie: hiya CS, S&M&S, James, WR & Handy!
	7:07pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: (insert a sample of Noddy Holder screaming "iiiiiiits Chrrrissstmaaass" here)
	🦇 7:07pm Julie: Merry Christmas Cha Cha!
	7:09pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: or in other words, Good Evening C.S., Julie, Summer and Michael and Sylvia, listener james from westwood, WR, Handy Haversack and a merry crimbo too.
	🦇 7:09pm Handy Haversack: OK! We are sitting down! And fully present. And ready to explore the crazy notion that the longest, darkest, coldest nights of the year can be the warmest and brightest -- thanks to you all!
	7:09pm C.S.: Katy overdosed on eggnog. Larry choked on a candy cane. Those are people who died too.
	🦇 7:10pm Julie: strangled by tinsel!
	7:10pm C.S.: The worst, Julie.
	🦇 7:10pm Handy Haversack: The next day they got offed -- by the very same reindeer!
	🦇 7:11pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Noddy, indeed, Cha Cha! We like watching the version from Top of the Pops 1983. John Peel introducing them... ten years after the original Christmas #1. Kinda perfect.
	🦇 7:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Killed by a falling tree! 🎄
	🦇 7:13pm Julie: hiya Ken!!
	7:16pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @7:11 Summer and Michael and Sylvia: thanks for the tip! I had to look it up, and what do you know, there's also another DJ personality David "Kid" Jensen there. Kinda surprised me he's still DJ'ing.
	🦇 7:18pm Handy Haversack: This must be quite a king!
	🦇 7:21pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Yes, Cha Cha. May be wrong, but it seems Peel is rather taking the piss re: Jensen...
	🦇 7:32pm Handy Haversack: Are E.T. and the droid that landed on Hoth and found the rebel base standing in that gymnasium? Are they ... going out for a team?
	🦇 7:37pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Yay! We embrace your "damnation" in true Christmas spirit, Julie! <3
	🦇 7:39pm Handy Haversack: Julie, you should get some sort of Drummer Stream MVP award for this season!
	7:41pm C.S.: Having t shirts printed up. "I Survived 7 Hours of Dark Night of the Soul"
	🦇 7:42pm Handy Haversack: A favorite, right, S&M&S, you said on Mary's show?
	7:42pm dale: evening. merry whatever you believe.
	🦇 7:43pm Julie: hiya Dale!
	7:44pm Scott67: G'day from a summer Xmas day, Julie & Nighties. ♡
	🦇 7:44pm Julie: hey there Scott! How's christmas looking?
	🦇 7:45pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Handy, yes, Goldfrapp - Summer's fav!
	7:46pm Scott67: Warm, blue sky & feeling very relaxed, thanks Julie. I hope yours will we similar 😎
	7:48pm dale: this sounds like ralph lundsten from the 70s.
	7:49pm Dean: Will tune in after this amazing CD of Édouard Risler's only recordings, all from 1917, wrap up here. Beautiful pianism from a time not quite lost, thanks to Ward Marston. Also, gotta deliver my daughter's (with some assistance from me) fresh baked chocolate chip cookies to the neighbors.
	🦇 7:50pm Julie: haha okay Dean, good to keep busy
	7:52pm listener James from Westwood: Reminded of when I saw The Nomi Song in one of NYC’s wee art theaters and really missing that experience. Glad to have done it and to hear this track, for which they showed the video in that film.
	7:53pm dale: it takes work to achieve that hairstyle.
	7:53pm Dean: Here's a taste. Can't say for sure that it's Marston's transcriptions from the 78s, but still, dig that mustache. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdDCN2Bwp64
	🦇 7:53pm Julie: yes I saw it in the theatre too. I still kinda want a biopic of him
	7:54pm WR: I love Nomi more everytime I hear him.
	🦇 7:54pm Handy Haversack: Word, WR. Same here.
	7:55pm JayD: Hi Julie! Longtime listener here. I always enjoy your show, especially tonight. Thank you for the music!
	7:55pm dale: who would you want to see play him julie?
	🦇 7:56pm Julie: I hadn't thought that far ahead. Hiya Jay!
	7:56pm dale: i watched rocketman a it back because people were raving. it was like glee. hated it.
	🦇 7:56pm Julie: they'd probably put harry styles in it or something
	7:58pm Dean: I'd want to see Klaus play Tomata and vice versa, but sadly neither performance can occur. But why can't anybody portray him? Theater is not exclusively, or even all that much, about verisimilitude.
	🦇 7:59pm Handy Haversack: Bill Murray?
	8:00pm Mr. Pumpy: No, Handy. Just me, Pumpy.
	🦇 8:01pm Handy Haversack: Oh. Yeah. Um. Hey, Pumpy.
	8:04pm coelacanth∅: greetings Julie and all
	🦇 8:05pm Julie: hiya coela! hi Pumpy!
	🦇 8:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Missed Robyn & Teardrop Explodes - but looks like Party still raging...
	🦇 8:05pm Julie: hiya Rev!
	🦇 8:06pm Handy Haversack: coela, Mr. P, Rev Rab! Here comes the party!
	8:08pm Mr. Pumpy: Hi, Julie! Handy, Coel...howdy. Just dropping in to say 'hello'. Setlist looks amazing, of course. I am going to do some TV with pops, get him out of his room for a bit. I'll be Bach!
	8:09pm dale: merry christmas julie. gonna log off but listening on the squeezebox.
	🦇 8:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Flips dale !
	🦇 8:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How late you goin' Julie ?
	8:11pm Doug Schulkind: So much Julie!
	🦇 8:11pm Julie: I'm here till 10!
	🦇 8:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: :)
	🦇 8:13pm Handy Haversack: MVP! MVP! (Also, Kate says to say how much she's enjoying!)
	8:14pm Uncle Michael: hey hey
	🦇 8:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I blame the Norman Conquests for Manoeuvreses...
	8:16pm C.S.: Good old what's-his-name. Whatever happened to that guy?
	8:16pm Dean: Probably French? I dunno, maybe they do it that way in UK, too.
	8:16pm ?: Thank you for Klaus!!!
	8:17pm Lisa Hammer: That was me lol
	8:17pm Dean: Anyway, it means (give or take) manual labo(u)r.
	8:17pm C.S.: The Hjördis-Britt Åström?
	🦇 8:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I also blame The Norman Conquests for making me feel all Existential like seeing it on PBS as a kid...
	🦇 8:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BillMurray as Santa Klauss : seeing it.
	🦇 8:19pm Handy Haversack: Right, Rev? At current age, with no attempts to en-young-ify.
	8:20pm C.S.: For a second I thought Julie was playing The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" Both songs start off with a rooster.
	8:20pm Dean: Saw these lovely 45 Grave folks once in LA. A mere vestige of The Germs, but that'll do.
	🦇 8:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dinah is a bit lovely yeah ?
	🦇 8:23pm Julie: hi Lisa! Hi Uncle Michael! and anyone else I missed
	8:23pm Lisa Hammer: 45 grave!!!!!
	8:24pm Lisa Hammer: Hi!!!
	8:24pm Lisa Hammer: Piper atgod!!!!
	🦇 8:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Clay Pounding played Stethoscope a few hours ago!
	🦇 8:26pm Julie: yay for Pounding System!
	🦇 8:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gawdam Piper just hits like a dose.
	8:34pm C.S.: Nice track, Lisa.
	8:34pm Lisa Hammer: Thanks! It's not mastered yet so a bit rough but fun
	🦇 8:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow! Not a cover a lot of people are leaping to I expect...a few! ?
	8:36pm Lisa Hammer: I heard medieval tones so I went full polyphonic chant on it
	🦇 8:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Amazing.
	🦇 8:36pm Julie: YES!!
	8:36pm Lisa Hammer: Thank you. Working on the new album
	🦇 8:37pm Handy Haversack: Very cool, Lisa Hammer!
	8:37pm Lisa Hammer: Thank you! And thanks to Julie for playing it!!!!!!
	🦇 8:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who could or would do that - Sheila Chandra ??
	🦇 8:38pm Julie: oooh sheila chandra covering Nico sign me up
	8:39pm C.S.: Sheila Chandra has a problem with her voice and she don't sing last I heard.
	🦇 8:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That wasn't far from it.
	🦇 8:39pm Julie: CS oh no that is very sad to hear
	8:39pm Lisa Hammer: I love me some Sheila!
	🦇 8:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That completes 2020 C.S.
	8:40pm C.S.: burning mouth syndrome according to wiki.
	🦇 8:40pm Julie: yes I see, very sad
	8:41pm Lisa Hammer: Oh no! I love her
	🦇 8:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: She has a track with the BoneCroneDrone album she just explains what she's doing : one of my favorite reflections on Creativity anywhere.
	8:43pm C.S.: Monsoon's "Ever So Lonely" is my Bollywood theme song.
	8:43pm Lisa Hammer: I've danced to that over 1000 times lol
	🦇 8:46pm Julie: hey a guy on twitter said most of us are immune to the virus so ain't that great news!
	8:47pm C.S.: That's the same guy who said he needed my social security number to clear up a small matter at the IRS?
	🦇 8:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: The orange guy or someone with sense?
	🦇 8:48pm Handy Haversack: It went quickly!
	8:53pm C.S.: One member of Glenn Miller's Orchestra is still alive.
	8:55pm doctorjazz: Hi Julie and all!
	8:55pm Marci: Thank you Julie for your Xmas Eve show,
	🦇 8:55pm Julie: hiy dr jazz! Hi marci!
	8:57pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: I have lost track of time and my memory is shot - but was there any special celebrations this October? I mean this show turned 10 then!
	8:57pm Dean: I'm gunning for 2024, frankly, or 2028. This year has been bad; I fear we're in for much worse.
	🦇 8:59pm Julie: haha Cha Cha I don't think so but it's nice of you to point that out
	🦇 8:59pm Handy Haversack: Bagels secured, doctorjazz?
	🦇 9:00pm Julie: this year has certainly separated the wheat from the chaff people wise, painful but good in the long wrong I hope
	🦇 9:01pm Julie: Genesis is good drink making music
	9:01pm doctorjazz: Yup, Handy, and lox and tuna salad for tomorrow (have 1 really good bagel place in town).
	🦇 9:01pm Handy Haversack: "The long wrong" is a good name for the Capitalocene!
	9:02pm coelacanth∅: this is really the only genesis album i like.
	9:02pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @8:59 Julie: OK, I just started wondering today, whether the extended duration & theme hour would've something to do with that. But a belated "Happy 10th anniversary" greeting to your show Julie.
	🦇 9:02pm Julie: this is the first one I got, recommended by a friend
	🦇 9:02pm Julie: thanks Cha Cha! No it was just lucky timing
	9:02pm coelacanth∅: ...or - really like. i like most of them before this. (not the first one)
	9:03pm Dean: I'll disagree. This year has not separated wheat from chaff, not by any stretch.
	9:03pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @9:01 Julie: Please do not tempt me, i have way too much alcohol in my kitchen, and I love Genesis!
	🦇 9:03pm Julie: I didn't have a show for 4-5 years so it's really hard to say 10 years
	🦇 9:03pm Julie: @dean No? You have not realized which of your family and friends are fair weather this year?
	9:03pm doctorjazz: Never listened to Genesis at all (have downloads of their albums), will check it out (or, at least, it's in line to get listened to).
	🦇 9:04pm Julie: I usually go for Gabriel-era Genesis but the first couple with Phil are quite good as well
	🦇 9:04pm Handy Haversack: Bubble Puppy making a strong case that we reinstate the Dark Night Hairlympics!
	🦇 9:04pm Julie: oh hey these guys are from my hometown, San Antonio
	9:05pm Dean: Not at all. I'm well aware of those divisions, but they have nothing to do with this year.
	9:05pm coelacanth∅: wind & wuthering is sort of a steppig stone for them, from "prog" toward masses-friendly pop. the chemistry works though, in my opinion.
	🦇 9:05pm Julie: well, things became much more obvious for me this year for sure.
	9:05pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: With Genesis, it's all good up to and including that 1983 eponymous album, though Abacab is a bit of a stinker
	🦇 9:06pm Julie: Handy that might be a good bonus hour, I could pick bands based on good or weird hair
	🦇 9:06pm Julie: Isn't That's All on Genesis, I do like that one
	9:06pm coelacanth∅: i love Gabriel, especially the first 4 albums; but have never been grabbed by Gabriel-era genesis. i don't know why.
	9:07pm Lisa Hammer: I'm not good with trivia but, didn't Kate date Peter Gabriel?
	🦇 9:07pm Handy Haversack: Wow, Julie, the choices might get overwhelming! THAT SAID: do it!! Ahhh, noninstrumental Mazzy Star. Sigh. Enormous, years-long sighs.
	9:07pm chresti: Hi Julie and merry souls!
	🦇 9:07pm Julie: I don't know that they dated, they did collaborate some
	9:07pm Dean: Selling England By the Pound...I mean, c'mon!
	9:07pm coelacanth∅: hey chresti!
	🦇 9:08pm Julie: hiya chresti!
	9:08pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Duetting if not dating, yes.
	9:08pm Lisa Hammer: Yes I love their duet of the I think Tim Buckley song?
	🦇 9:08pm Handy Haversack: Hi, chresti!
	🦇 9:08pm Julie: I mean I think he got the fairlight first, and that was a big part of The Dreaming. But she was with Del Palmer for a really long time.
	9:09pm coelacanth∅: abacab isn't terrible; but i never find myself putting it on.
	🦇 9:09pm Julie: Another Day? I THINK that's a Roy Harper song
	9:09pm Uncle Michael: A lot of post-Gabriel Genesis is...not terrible. (faint praise)
	9:10pm Lisa Hammer: Yes! The video makes my eyes rain
	🦇 9:10pm Julie: from her xmas special. She did some stuff with Roy as well.
	9:10pm Dean: So charitable, Uncle Michael, and yet so entirely false.
	9:10pm Lisa Hammer: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
	9:10pm Uncle Michael: It's all terrible?
	9:11pm Dean: If you have to ask, you'll never know.
	🦇 9:11pm Julie: I confess I have never listed to Abacab or Then There Were Three
	9:11pm Uncle Michael: My opinions are incorrect?
	9:12pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello again. Bubble Puppy!
	🦇 9:12pm Julie: yes, uncle michael, how dare :P
	🦇 9:12pm Julie: hi Mr Pumpy!
	9:12pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @9:11 Julie: what?! YOU introduced me to post-Gabriel Genesis with this show! How shocking :)
	9:12pm Dean: Your opinions, qua opinions, are perfectly suitable.
	🦇 9:13pm Julie: as listeners know I am madly in love with the very first album which has no similarity to anything else they ever did
	9:13pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie! I'm back. How are all these accu-listers treating you? Fine...I'm sure.
	9:13pm Uncle Michael: Well, that's a relief.
	🦇 9:13pm Julie: @cha cha wind & wuthering is a fine album, IMHO
	🦇 9:13pm Handy Haversack: Bubble Pumpy!
	9:14pm Mr. Pumpy: Ha!
	🦇 9:14pm Julie: uncle Michael I wish we could get our gifs to dance together
	9:14pm C.S.: I've so missed seeing the Uncle Michael / Julie avatar synchronized head bob.
	9:15pm Uncle Michael: H.R. Gothnstuf
	9:15pm Dean: That is not true, Julie. The first album and Trespass are not that remote, musically speaking.
	9:15pm doctorjazz: Bass is e place (Magarill reminds me so much of Joni)
	🦇 9:15pm Julie: hmm I will revisit trespass.
	9:16pm Mr. Pumpy: It's so nice to be back here right now. I love my pops, but damn is he ornery these days. Even compliments are met with defense and disdain. So it goes... The music is a cure-all! Thanks, Julie!
	🦇 9:16pm Julie: you're very welcome Mr Pumpy!
	9:17pm C.S.: Mr. Pumpy, it's tough to get old.
	9:17pm Uncle Michael: "Nice haircut!" "What was wrong with the way I used to wear it?"
	9:18pm Miles of Middle Texas: Enjoying .Thanks Julie ! I'm still catching up on Tuesdays 7 hour show. And tomorrow too!
	9:18pm Mr. Pumpy: C.S., clearly.
	🦇 9:19pm Handy Haversack: This ... is not the Stormbringer I'm used to! Miles, Julie for Drummer Stream MVP! Vote early, vote often!
	🦇 9:19pm Julie: woohoo Hi Miles! I am usually in the middle of TX this time of year. Please enjoy it for me. I bought a case of Big Red so at least I have that.
	🦇 9:20pm Julie: i found John Martyn because Elton covered a bunch of his songs early on
	9:20pm doctorjazz: Didn't know John Martyn had a group with his wife for a while, know him as a solo.
	9:21pm doctorjazz: (think I have a box of Martyn somewhere...)
	🦇 9:22pm Handy Haversack: (This is the one I know better: www.isfdb.org... )
	9:24pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm so pleased that Vashti Bunyan had a revival in the aughts. Sometimes the talented are summoned by the cosmos, and another go is required.
	🦇 9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bubble Puppy reported to be 13th Floor Elevator understudies a bit - some kind of successor on the TX scene...
	9:28pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @9:24 Mr. Pumpy: Yes! She also probably got to do way more live performances the second time around than in the 1960s.
	🦇 9:28pm Julie: Mr Pumpy I feel that way about Nick Drake
	🦇 9:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & my brother had the Hot Smoke & Sassafras 45 by BP in my earliest years - a garage psych classic. & goes deep... 'Understudy' overstating it - sorry...
	9:29pm doctorjazz: Opening reminded me of FOW (Happy Ending)
	🦇 9:29pm Julie: ooh Rev I will have to get that one too then!
	🦇 9:29pm Julie: which reminds me everyone said the other day I need Hot Tuna, which album?
	9:29pm Cronbat: I saw Bubble Puppy quite a few times. They were coeval with the Elevators. There's a Steve Ray Vaughn tune where he busts a few bars of the Rod Prince solo from "Jennifer Wrote me a Letter" I can't recall the tune, though...
	🦇 9:30pm Julie: hey there Cronbat!
	9:30pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @9:28 Julie: it's very sad he was no longer here for that. He was apparently very upset his music did not become successful back then.
	9:31pm Cronbat: Loving the show, Julie!
	9:31pm WR: Only relationship of Bubble Puppy to the Elevators was initially being on International Artist label. There were plenty other psychedelic bands popping up, Fever Tree and a couple others that release records (including Billy Gibbons second band, the Moving Sidewalks (a mix of Elevators & Hendrix). Many others that didn't.
	🦇 9:31pm Julie: thank you! it is a shame he didn't get the fame he deserved but then I think he almost never played out
	9:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie...yes! Sad he wasn't around to get back into it.
	🦇 9:32pm Julie: the scars fascinate me. one perfect album a couple singles and then boom gone
	🦇 9:33pm Handy Haversack: The outfits alone are from another world, one with geometries far different from those Euclid dared to describe ...
	🦇 9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Performing Live didn't work out for Drake. People told him he was great - & he knew it ! - but he just wasn't promoted successfully & didn't sell ! It devastated him & killed him I think we can say.
	9:34pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Yes, Nick Drake's live performances were very few and if his contemporaries are to be believed, also slightly erratic in some respects - long tuning breaks between songs without any attempts at communicating with his audience
	🦇 9:34pm Julie: I wouldn't say that. It didn't help his depression but I doubt that caused it
	9:36pm Mr. Pumpy: "Euclid was a pussy" HH
	🦇 9:37pm Handy Haversack: At least a beard, Mr. P!
	9:37pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie, I agree. I'd say he wasn't really cut out for the whole touring thing. Many artists aren't.
	🦇 9:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - chicken or egg perhaps : personality such that live shows collapsed - didn't sell... Thx for more on BubblePuppy folks. Followed Elevators on the IA label... I read 'Eye Mind' some time ago now...
	🦇 9:39pm Julie: the best artists are the most sensitive and not cut out for a very insensitive business
	9:39pm Danne D: Merre Merre Julie and Everyone!
	🦇 9:39pm Julie: thank you Danne!
	9:40pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, imagine the wildly shaped die we'd be rolling on Sundays if Euclid had only possessed a bit more chutzpah!
	9:41pm WR: I Got You Babe is a great song to be re-contextualized repeatedly.
	🦇 9:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Performing is quite a thing unto itself. Ironically once people heard the recordings - it got across completely.
	🦇 9:42pm Handy Haversack: Or Platonic gases ...
	9:42pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie, I'd not say that is a rule, but very common, indeed! And when so many start out so young, showing their art to the world, and most likely being exploited by someone trying to ride their coattails...uggghh.
	9:42pm Dean: Somehow, I don't think Rossini was "sensitive," yet he is clearly one of the "best artists." There are plenty of artists who manage the business. Don't buy into the baloney about the psychology of who makes art.
	🦇 9:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: McCartney thrives on Performing. It made Lennon sick !
	9:44pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm rolling in Platonic gases from now on. Maybe I'll start with liquids, as to not seem too radical.
	🦇 9:45pm Julie: I'm not buying into any baloney, I'm very sensitive as are many artists I know
	9:45pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Craig Smith comes to mind immediately. Immensely talented, way too sensitive and in the end homeless and piss-poor while not seeing a cent royalty-wise for the songs he wrote for The Monkees, Glen Campbell, Andy Williams etc.
	9:49pm Little Danny: Hi Julie,, hi all!
	9:49pm C.S.: Locally, there was a great musician who could play just about any instrument and founded or was in many bands. Yet he had to work in a grocery store to make ends meet. He eventually took his own life. I can only imagine what his demons were but it seems great talent often comes with some price whether it's not being able to relate to a lot of people or odd quirks, etc.
	🦇 9:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah talent & creativity may go with entertaining - or they may absolutely not. & then business deals are another thing again - & how. Business killed TheBeatles more than anything in the end - & they are the biggest thing ever. Victims of their success in several ways.
	9:51pm C.S.: Where did those three hours go?!
	9:51pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie...I'm not buying any baloney either!
	9:51pm chresti: Yeah WR, agree @9:41
	9:52pm Uncle Michael: Good night everyone.
	9:52pm Mr. Pumpy: www.youtube.com...
	9:52pm Little Danny: I will be over here not gurgling into the mic: wfmu.org... Hope y'all will join!
	🦇 9:52pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P, you'll support the economy whether you want to our not! Now start sublimating!
	9:52pm Little Danny: Where do you think you're going UM
	9:52pm Lisa Hammer: Love every show. So good.
	9:52pm Uncle Michael: I'm out of bologna, but it's on the grocery list.
	🦇 9:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Talent no guarantee of success whatsoever. Go Julie ! Go Julie ! Long Distance DJ !
	9:53pm Uncle Michael: Off to bed, Danny. Sorrrrrry.
	9:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Julie!
	9:54pm C.S.: No talent is no guarantee of failure either.
	🦇 9:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Julie! So glad to hear so much Dark Nighting during these dark nights -- you help make them bright and warm and soulful. Kate and I were glad to be here. Be well, Ensouled Ones! Pleasure to Dark the Night away with you all!
	🦇 9:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: @UM - Good night. Your all-request show is coming up soon. I need to come up with one.
	9:54pm Little Danny: Thanks Julie!
	9:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Julie. week from tomorrow, Ken
	9:55pm WR: Thank you Julie. Hasta manana.
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Julie! i wish you a Merry ...
	🦇 9:56pm Julie: I'm gonna go back to the barrett riff after this danny jump on when ya like
	9:56pm doctorjazz: I have multiple requests, already called with a few, can always call with more (could be the Doctorjazz request show!)
	9:56pm Cronbat: Thanks, Julie! Feliz Navidad a todos!
	9:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, I draw lines when it comes to formed meats, and cross this line; you do not!
	9:56pm chresti: Thanks Julie! We're at home having a party with the chairs and tables.
	9:56pm Little Danny: I really enjoyed Elton in the rerun(?) interview w/Terry Gross on a Fresh Air last week.
	🦇 9:57pm Julie: I don't even have a real table (sad face)
	9:57pm WR: Get your rest Uncle Michael. Long WFMU day ahead for you.

	🦇 6:58pm Julie: That's fine, it's optional!
	🦇 7:01pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy Christmas Eve, Julie! ... And all!
	7:01pm listener james from westwood: w00t—Silent night, Dark Night!
	7:02pm WR: Yeah, a bit chilly this evening. Thinking hot chocolate with brandy as a warmer.
	🦇 7:02pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Julie and Dark Night: Nights! We're just finishing supper ...
	🦇 7:03pm Julie: hiya CS, S&M&S, James, WR & Handy!
	7:07pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: (insert a sample of Noddy Holder screaming "iiiiiiits Chrrrissstmaaass" here)
	🦇 7:07pm Julie: Merry Christmas Cha Cha!
	7:09pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: or in other words, Good Evening C.S., Julie, Summer and Michael and Sylvia, listener james from westwood, WR, Handy Haversack and a merry crimbo too.
	🦇 7:09pm Handy Haversack: OK! We are sitting down! And fully present. And ready to explore the crazy notion that the longest, darkest, coldest nights of the year can be the warmest and brightest -- thanks to you all!
	7:09pm C.S.: Katy overdosed on eggnog. Larry choked on a candy cane. Those are people who died too.
	🦇 7:10pm Julie: strangled by tinsel!
	7:10pm C.S.: The worst, Julie.
	🦇 7:10pm Handy Haversack: The next day they got offed -- by the very same reindeer!
	🦇 7:11pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Noddy, indeed, Cha Cha! We like watching the version from Top of the Pops 1983. John Peel introducing them... ten years after the original Christmas #1. Kinda perfect.
	🦇 7:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Killed by a falling tree! 🎄
	🦇 7:13pm Julie: hiya Ken!!
	7:16pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @7:11 Summer and Michael and Sylvia: thanks for the tip! I had to look it up, and what do you know, there's also another DJ personality David "Kid" Jensen there. Kinda surprised me he's still DJ'ing.
	🦇 7:18pm Handy Haversack: This must be quite a king!
	🦇 7:21pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Yes, Cha Cha. May be wrong, but it seems Peel is rather taking the piss re: Jensen...
	🦇 7:32pm Handy Haversack: Are E.T. and the droid that landed on Hoth and found the rebel base standing in that gymnasium? Are they ... going out for a team?
	🦇 7:37pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Yay! We embrace your "damnation" in true Christmas spirit, Julie! <3
	🦇 7:39pm Handy Haversack: Julie, you should get some sort of Drummer Stream MVP award for this season!
	7:41pm C.S.: Having t shirts printed up. "I Survived 7 Hours of Dark Night of the Soul"
	🦇 7:42pm Handy Haversack: A favorite, right, S&M&S, you said on Mary's show?
	7:42pm dale: evening. merry whatever you believe.
	🦇 7:43pm Julie: hiya Dale!
	7:44pm Scott67: G'day from a summer Xmas day, Julie & Nighties. ♡
	🦇 7:44pm Julie: hey there Scott! How's christmas looking?
	🦇 7:45pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Handy, yes, Goldfrapp - Summer's fav!
	7:46pm Scott67: Warm, blue sky & feeling very relaxed, thanks Julie. I hope yours will we similar 😎
	7:48pm dale: this sounds like ralph lundsten from the 70s.
	7:49pm Dean: Will tune in after this amazing CD of Édouard Risler's only recordings, all from 1917, wrap up here. Beautiful pianism from a time not quite lost, thanks to Ward Marston. Also, gotta deliver my daughter's (with some assistance from me) fresh baked chocolate chip cookies to the neighbors.
	🦇 7:50pm Julie: haha okay Dean, good to keep busy
	7:52pm listener James from Westwood: Reminded of when I saw The Nomi Song in one of NYC’s wee art theaters and really missing that experience. Glad to have done it and to hear this track, for which they showed the video in that film.
	7:53pm dale: it takes work to achieve that hairstyle.
	7:53pm Dean: Here's a taste. Can't say for sure that it's Marston's transcriptions from the 78s, but still, dig that mustache. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdDCN2Bwp64
	🦇 7:53pm Julie: yes I saw it in the theatre too. I still kinda want a biopic of him
	7:54pm WR: I love Nomi more everytime I hear him.
	🦇 7:54pm Handy Haversack: Word, WR. Same here.
	7:55pm JayD: Hi Julie! Longtime listener here. I always enjoy your show, especially tonight. Thank you for the music!
	7:55pm dale: who would you want to see play him julie?
	🦇 7:56pm Julie: I hadn't thought that far ahead. Hiya Jay!
	7:56pm dale: i watched rocketman a it back because people were raving. it was like glee. hated it.
	🦇 7:56pm Julie: they'd probably put harry styles in it or something
	7:58pm Dean: I'd want to see Klaus play Tomata and vice versa, but sadly neither performance can occur. But why can't anybody portray him? Theater is not exclusively, or even all that much, about verisimilitude.
	🦇 7:59pm Handy Haversack: Bill Murray?
	8:00pm Mr. Pumpy: No, Handy. Just me, Pumpy.
	🦇 8:01pm Handy Haversack: Oh. Yeah. Um. Hey, Pumpy.

	🦇 8:13pm Handy Haversack: MVP! MVP! (Also, Kate says to say how much she's enjoying!)
	8:14pm Uncle Michael: hey hey
	🦇 8:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I blame the Norman Conquests for Manoeuvreses...
	8:16pm C.S.: Good old what's-his-name. Whatever happened to that guy?
	8:16pm Dean: Probably French? I dunno, maybe they do it that way in UK, too.
	8:16pm ?: Thank you for Klaus!!!
	8:17pm Lisa Hammer: That was me lol
	8:17pm Dean: Anyway, it means (give or take) manual labo(u)r.
	8:17pm C.S.: The Hjördis-Britt Åström?
	🦇 8:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I also blame The Norman Conquests for making me feel all Existential like seeing it on PBS as a kid...
	🦇 8:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BillMurray as Santa Klauss : seeing it.
	🦇 8:19pm Handy Haversack: Right, Rev? At current age, with no attempts to en-young-ify.
	8:20pm C.S.: For a second I thought Julie was playing The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" Both songs start off with a rooster.
	8:20pm Dean: Saw these lovely 45 Grave folks once in LA. A mere vestige of The Germs, but that'll do.
	🦇 8:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dinah is a bit lovely yeah ?
	🦇 8:23pm Julie: hi Lisa! Hi Uncle Michael! and anyone else I missed
	8:23pm Lisa Hammer: 45 grave!!!!!

	🦇 8:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Clay Pounding played Stethoscope a few hours ago!
	🦇 8:26pm Julie: yay for Pounding System!
	🦇 8:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gawdam Piper just hits like a dose.
	8:34pm C.S.: Nice track, Lisa.
	8:34pm Lisa Hammer: Thanks! It's not mastered yet so a bit rough but fun
	🦇 8:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow! Not a cover a lot of people are leaping to I expect...a few! ?
	8:36pm Lisa Hammer: I heard medieval tones so I went full polyphonic chant on it
	🦇 8:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Amazing.
	🦇 8:36pm Julie: YES!!
	8:36pm Lisa Hammer: Thank you. Working on the new album
	🦇 8:37pm Handy Haversack: Very cool, Lisa Hammer!

	🦇 8:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who could or would do that - Sheila Chandra ??

	🦇 8:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That completes 2020 C.S.
	8:40pm C.S.: burning mouth syndrome according to wiki.
	🦇 8:40pm Julie: yes I see, very sad
	8:41pm Lisa Hammer: Oh no! I love her
	🦇 8:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: She has a track with the BoneCroneDrone album she just explains what she's doing : one of my favorite reflections on Creativity anywhere.
	8:43pm C.S.: Monsoon's "Ever So Lonely" is my Bollywood theme song.
	8:43pm Lisa Hammer: I've danced to that over 1000 times lol
	🦇 8:46pm Julie: hey a guy on twitter said most of us are immune to the virus so ain't that great news!
	8:47pm C.S.: That's the same guy who said he needed my social security number to clear up a small matter at the IRS?
	🦇 8:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: The orange guy or someone with sense?
	🦇 8:48pm Handy Haversack: It went quickly!
	8:53pm C.S.: One member of Glenn Miller's Orchestra is still alive.
	8:55pm doctorjazz: Hi Julie and all!
	8:55pm Marci: Thank you Julie for your Xmas Eve show,
	🦇 8:55pm Julie: hiy dr jazz! Hi marci!
	8:57pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: I have lost track of time and my memory is shot - but was there any special celebrations this October? I mean this show turned 10 then!
	8:57pm Dean: I'm gunning for 2024, frankly, or 2028. This year has been bad; I fear we're in for much worse.
	🦇 8:59pm Julie: haha Cha Cha I don't think so but it's nice of you to point that out
	🦇 8:59pm Handy Haversack: Bagels secured, doctorjazz?
	🦇 9:00pm Julie: this year has certainly separated the wheat from the chaff people wise, painful but good in the long wrong I hope
	🦇 9:01pm Julie: Genesis is good drink making music
	9:01pm doctorjazz: Yup, Handy, and lox and tuna salad for tomorrow (have 1 really good bagel place in town).
	🦇 9:01pm Handy Haversack: "The long wrong" is a good name for the Capitalocene!
	9:02pm coelacanth∅: this is really the only genesis album i like.
	9:02pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @8:59 Julie: OK, I just started wondering today, whether the extended duration & theme hour would've something to do with that. But a belated "Happy 10th anniversary" greeting to your show Julie.
	🦇 9:02pm Julie: this is the first one I got, recommended by a friend
	🦇 9:02pm Julie: thanks Cha Cha! No it was just lucky timing
	9:02pm coelacanth∅: ...or - really like. i like most of them before this. (not the first one)
	9:03pm Dean: I'll disagree. This year has not separated wheat from chaff, not by any stretch.
	9:03pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @9:01 Julie: Please do not tempt me, i have way too much alcohol in my kitchen, and I love Genesis!
	🦇 9:03pm Julie: I didn't have a show for 4-5 years so it's really hard to say 10 years
	🦇 9:03pm Julie: @dean No? You have not realized which of your family and friends are fair weather this year?
	9:03pm doctorjazz: Never listened to Genesis at all (have downloads of their albums), will check it out (or, at least, it's in line to get listened to).
	🦇 9:04pm Julie: I usually go for Gabriel-era Genesis but the first couple with Phil are quite good as well
	🦇 9:04pm Handy Haversack: Bubble Puppy making a strong case that we reinstate the Dark Night Hairlympics!
	🦇 9:04pm Julie: oh hey these guys are from my hometown, San Antonio
	9:05pm Dean: Not at all. I'm well aware of those divisions, but they have nothing to do with this year.
	9:05pm coelacanth∅: wind & wuthering is sort of a steppig stone for them, from "prog" toward masses-friendly pop. the chemistry works though, in my opinion.
	🦇 9:05pm Julie: well, things became much more obvious for me this year for sure.
	9:05pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: With Genesis, it's all good up to and including that 1983 eponymous album, though Abacab is a bit of a stinker
	🦇 9:06pm Julie: Handy that might be a good bonus hour, I could pick bands based on good or weird hair
	🦇 9:06pm Julie: Isn't That's All on Genesis, I do like that one
	9:06pm coelacanth∅: i love Gabriel, especially the first 4 albums; but have never been grabbed by Gabriel-era genesis. i don't know why.
	9:07pm Lisa Hammer: I'm not good with trivia but, didn't Kate date Peter Gabriel?
	🦇 9:07pm Handy Haversack: Wow, Julie, the choices might get overwhelming! THAT SAID: do it!! Ahhh, noninstrumental Mazzy Star. Sigh. Enormous, years-long sighs.
	9:07pm chresti: Hi Julie and merry souls!
	🦇 9:07pm Julie: I don't know that they dated, they did collaborate some
	9:07pm Dean: Selling England By the Pound...I mean, c'mon!
	9:07pm coelacanth∅: hey chresti!
	🦇 9:08pm Julie: hiya chresti!
	9:08pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Duetting if not dating, yes.
	9:08pm Lisa Hammer: Yes I love their duet of the I think Tim Buckley song?
	🦇 9:08pm Handy Haversack: Hi, chresti!
	🦇 9:08pm Julie: I mean I think he got the fairlight first, and that was a big part of The Dreaming. But she was with Del Palmer for a really long time.
	9:09pm coelacanth∅: abacab isn't terrible; but i never find myself putting it on.
	🦇 9:09pm Julie: Another Day? I THINK that's a Roy Harper song
	9:09pm Uncle Michael: A lot of post-Gabriel Genesis is...not terrible. (faint praise)
	9:10pm Lisa Hammer: Yes! The video makes my eyes rain
	🦇 9:10pm Julie: from her xmas special. She did some stuff with Roy as well.
	9:10pm Dean: So charitable, Uncle Michael, and yet so entirely false.
	9:10pm Lisa Hammer: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
	9:10pm Uncle Michael: It's all terrible?
	9:11pm Dean: If you have to ask, you'll never know.
	🦇 9:11pm Julie: I confess I have never listed to Abacab or Then There Were Three
	9:11pm Uncle Michael: My opinions are incorrect?
	9:12pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello again. Bubble Puppy!
	🦇 9:12pm Julie: yes, uncle michael, how dare :P
	🦇 9:12pm Julie: hi Mr Pumpy!
	9:12pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @9:11 Julie: what?! YOU introduced me to post-Gabriel Genesis with this show! How shocking :)
	9:12pm Dean: Your opinions, qua opinions, are perfectly suitable.
	🦇 9:13pm Julie: as listeners know I am madly in love with the very first album which has no similarity to anything else they ever did
	9:13pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie! I'm back. How are all these accu-listers treating you? Fine...I'm sure.
	9:13pm Uncle Michael: Well, that's a relief.
	🦇 9:13pm Julie: @cha cha wind & wuthering is a fine album, IMHO
	🦇 9:13pm Handy Haversack: Bubble Pumpy!
	9:14pm Mr. Pumpy: Ha!
	🦇 9:14pm Julie: uncle Michael I wish we could get our gifs to dance together
	9:14pm C.S.: I've so missed seeing the Uncle Michael / Julie avatar synchronized head bob.
	9:15pm Uncle Michael: H.R. Gothnstuf
	9:15pm Dean: That is not true, Julie. The first album and Trespass are not that remote, musically speaking.
	9:15pm doctorjazz: Bass is e place (Magarill reminds me so much of Joni)
	🦇 9:15pm Julie: hmm I will revisit trespass.
	9:16pm Mr. Pumpy: It's so nice to be back here right now. I love my pops, but damn is he ornery these days. Even compliments are met with defense and disdain. So it goes... The music is a cure-all! Thanks, Julie!
	🦇 9:16pm Julie: you're very welcome Mr Pumpy!
	9:17pm C.S.: Mr. Pumpy, it's tough to get old.
	9:17pm Uncle Michael: "Nice haircut!" "What was wrong with the way I used to wear it?"
	9:18pm Miles of Middle Texas: Enjoying .Thanks Julie ! I'm still catching up on Tuesdays 7 hour show. And tomorrow too!
	9:18pm Mr. Pumpy: C.S., clearly.
	🦇 9:19pm Handy Haversack: This ... is not the Stormbringer I'm used to! Miles, Julie for Drummer Stream MVP! Vote early, vote often!
	🦇 9:19pm Julie: woohoo Hi Miles! I am usually in the middle of TX this time of year. Please enjoy it for me. I bought a case of Big Red so at least I have that.
	🦇 9:20pm Julie: i found John Martyn because Elton covered a bunch of his songs early on
	9:20pm doctorjazz: Didn't know John Martyn had a group with his wife for a while, know him as a solo.
	9:21pm doctorjazz: (think I have a box of Martyn somewhere...)
	🦇 9:22pm Handy Haversack: (This is the one I know better: www.isfdb.org... )
	9:24pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm so pleased that Vashti Bunyan had a revival in the aughts. Sometimes the talented are summoned by the cosmos, and another go is required.
	🦇 9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bubble Puppy reported to be 13th Floor Elevator understudies a bit - some kind of successor on the TX scene...
	9:28pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @9:24 Mr. Pumpy: Yes! She also probably got to do way more live performances the second time around than in the 1960s.
	🦇 9:28pm Julie: Mr Pumpy I feel that way about Nick Drake
	🦇 9:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & my brother had the Hot Smoke & Sassafras 45 by BP in my earliest years - a garage psych classic. & goes deep... 'Understudy' overstating it - sorry...
	9:29pm doctorjazz: Opening reminded me of FOW (Happy Ending)
	🦇 9:29pm Julie: ooh Rev I will have to get that one too then!
	🦇 9:29pm Julie: which reminds me everyone said the other day I need Hot Tuna, which album?
	9:29pm Cronbat: I saw Bubble Puppy quite a few times. They were coeval with the Elevators. There's a Steve Ray Vaughn tune where he busts a few bars of the Rod Prince solo from "Jennifer Wrote me a Letter" I can't recall the tune, though...
	🦇 9:30pm Julie: hey there Cronbat!
	9:30pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @9:28 Julie: it's very sad he was no longer here for that. He was apparently very upset his music did not become successful back then.
	9:31pm Cronbat: Loving the show, Julie!
	9:31pm WR: Only relationship of Bubble Puppy to the Elevators was initially being on International Artist label. There were plenty other psychedelic bands popping up, Fever Tree and a couple others that release records (including Billy Gibbons second band, the Moving Sidewalks (a mix of Elevators & Hendrix). Many others that didn't.
	🦇 9:31pm Julie: thank you! it is a shame he didn't get the fame he deserved but then I think he almost never played out
	9:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie...yes! Sad he wasn't around to get back into it.
	🦇 9:32pm Julie: the scars fascinate me. one perfect album a couple singles and then boom gone
	🦇 9:33pm Handy Haversack: The outfits alone are from another world, one with geometries far different from those Euclid dared to describe ...
	🦇 9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Performing Live didn't work out for Drake. People told him he was great - & he knew it ! - but he just wasn't promoted successfully & didn't sell ! It devastated him & killed him I think we can say.
	9:34pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Yes, Nick Drake's live performances were very few and if his contemporaries are to be believed, also slightly erratic in some respects - long tuning breaks between songs without any attempts at communicating with his audience
	🦇 9:34pm Julie: I wouldn't say that. It didn't help his depression but I doubt that caused it
	9:36pm Mr. Pumpy: "Euclid was a pussy" HH
	🦇 9:37pm Handy Haversack: At least a beard, Mr. P!
	9:37pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie, I agree. I'd say he wasn't really cut out for the whole touring thing. Many artists aren't.
	🦇 9:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - chicken or egg perhaps : personality such that live shows collapsed - didn't sell... Thx for more on BubblePuppy folks. Followed Elevators on the IA label... I read 'Eye Mind' some time ago now...
	🦇 9:39pm Julie: the best artists are the most sensitive and not cut out for a very insensitive business
	9:39pm Danne D: Merre Merre Julie and Everyone!
	🦇 9:39pm Julie: thank you Danne!
	9:40pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, imagine the wildly shaped die we'd be rolling on Sundays if Euclid had only possessed a bit more chutzpah!
	9:41pm WR: I Got You Babe is a great song to be re-contextualized repeatedly.
	🦇 9:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Performing is quite a thing unto itself. Ironically once people heard the recordings - it got across completely.
	🦇 9:42pm Handy Haversack: Or Platonic gases ...
	9:42pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie, I'd not say that is a rule, but very common, indeed! And when so many start out so young, showing their art to the world, and most likely being exploited by someone trying to ride their coattails...uggghh.
	9:42pm Dean: Somehow, I don't think Rossini was "sensitive," yet he is clearly one of the "best artists." There are plenty of artists who manage the business. Don't buy into the baloney about the psychology of who makes art.
	🦇 9:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: McCartney thrives on Performing. It made Lennon sick !
	9:44pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm rolling in Platonic gases from now on. Maybe I'll start with liquids, as to not seem too radical.
	🦇 9:45pm Julie: I'm not buying into any baloney, I'm very sensitive as are many artists I know
	9:45pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Craig Smith comes to mind immediately. Immensely talented, way too sensitive and in the end homeless and piss-poor while not seeing a cent royalty-wise for the songs he wrote for The Monkees, Glen Campbell, Andy Williams etc.
	9:49pm Little Danny: Hi Julie,, hi all!
	9:49pm C.S.: Locally, there was a great musician who could play just about any instrument and founded or was in many bands. Yet he had to work in a grocery store to make ends meet. He eventually took his own life. I can only imagine what his demons were but it seems great talent often comes with some price whether it's not being able to relate to a lot of people or odd quirks, etc.
	🦇 9:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah talent & creativity may go with entertaining - or they may absolutely not. & then business deals are another thing again - & how. Business killed TheBeatles more than anything in the end - & they are the biggest thing ever. Victims of their success in several ways.
	9:51pm C.S.: Where did those three hours go?!
	9:51pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie...I'm not buying any baloney either!
	9:51pm chresti: Yeah WR, agree @9:41
	9:52pm Uncle Michael: Good night everyone.
	9:52pm Mr. Pumpy: www.youtube.com...
	9:52pm Little Danny: I will be over here not gurgling into the mic: wfmu.org... Hope y'all will join!
	🦇 9:52pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P, you'll support the economy whether you want to our not! Now start sublimating!
	9:52pm Little Danny: Where do you think you're going UM
	9:52pm Lisa Hammer: Love every show. So good.
	9:52pm Uncle Michael: I'm out of bologna, but it's on the grocery list.
	🦇 9:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Talent no guarantee of success whatsoever. Go Julie ! Go Julie ! Long Distance DJ !
	9:53pm Uncle Michael: Off to bed, Danny. Sorrrrrry.
	9:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Julie!
	9:54pm C.S.: No talent is no guarantee of failure either.
	🦇 9:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Julie! So glad to hear so much Dark Nighting during these dark nights -- you help make them bright and warm and soulful. Kate and I were glad to be here. Be well, Ensouled Ones! Pleasure to Dark the Night away with you all!
	🦇 9:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: @UM - Good night. Your all-request show is coming up soon. I need to come up with one.
	9:54pm Little Danny: Thanks Julie!
	9:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Julie. week from tomorrow, Ken
	9:55pm WR: Thank you Julie. Hasta manana.
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Julie! i wish you a Merry ...
	🦇 9:56pm Julie: I'm gonna go back to the barrett riff after this danny jump on when ya like
	9:56pm doctorjazz: I have multiple requests, already called with a few, can always call with more (could be the Doctorjazz request show!)
	9:56pm Cronbat: Thanks, Julie! Feliz Navidad a todos!
	9:56pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, I draw lines when it comes to formed meats, and cross this line; you do not!
	9:56pm chresti: Thanks Julie! We're at home having a party with the chairs and tables.
	9:56pm Little Danny: I really enjoyed Elton in the rerun(?) interview w/Terry Gross on a Fresh Air last week.
	🦇 9:57pm Julie: I don't even have a real table (sad face)
	9:57pm WR: Get your rest Uncle Michael. Long WFMU day ahead for you.
	🦇 9:57pm Handy Haversack: Be careful, chresti. Some chairs are notoriously unable to hold their liquor! Merry and happy to you and Franco!
	9:57pm Little Danny: Haha chresti always with funniest wry lines!
	9:58pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: To spend the early hours of Xmas Day (euro-time) with you sould of the dark night is by no means a bad thing, not at all. Merry whatever you choose or choose not to celebrate! Thanks again julie, see you in 23 hours!
	9:58pm Mr. Pumpy: Julie, thank you so much! You have created a great kickoff to the Xmas through New Year's week. I hope it is a great stretch for you.
	🦇 9:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks and Merry Christmas, Julie. 23 hours to the goth party!
	🦇 9:58pm Julie: thanks everyone!!
	9:58pm doctorjazz: Have a fun party Chresti, tables, chairs, and all!
	9:59pm Mr. Pumpy: chresti, do the metric and periodic tables hit it off at holiday parties?
