In which we reimagine Santa's sleigh as pulled by a group of octopuses in red and white hats.

Love the Christmas doo-wop

Cephalo Clause is comin' to town

I'm still reeling from yesterday's 1 hour dopesmoke track

Mok, be forewarned that there will be no presents at some point this show

I will have to settle for pleasantries then

Richard: Chthulu claus certainly has a different vibe

Yes, don't look at it!!!

Can we talk about how miraculous this Xmasified version of Hex Enduction Hour is?

https://nealmarkowski.bandcamp.com/album/hex-mas-enduction-hour

Amazing! Name your price, too!!!

now this is more my speed

A body. Dead. Wrapped in plastic

They have a 12 days of Christmas in Lion King and Pokemon version

And... a cup of coffee that will KILL you Diane

.... new shoes.... new shoes....

And a pack of gum (that one you like that is back in style again)

Chipmunks on 16 speed is so very Negativland-ish wow

This is what happens with you stare at Chthulu claus

Imagine Dave screaming ALVIN in Chipmunk tone

Wow... you mentored this! This is great!

David Weave Roth

The video for it is stupendous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDPk8cOc-x8

Dave with that short hair just doesnt add up

*mentioned

It's the bandage on his nose that really gets me

I remember seeing that late night show where he hit himself in the nose with the mic stand! Kept performing. Pro. Short break n came back with the band aid.

reminds me of Michael Jackson when had that bandage all the time

No not like that ha. That was to hold up a non existent nose! Dave used a band aid temporarily for the usual purpose.

Heard this one Russian (Shastokovich) melody in a couple holiday tunes recently

somber

Yeah this one is great mood piece

Last year right around now DJ Pup played the digitally stretched versions of that Fahey Christmas lp. Wow. That was an aural treat

Made each guitar string sound like a thousand church organs...

im going to need a nap under my desk ala George Constanza if this keeps up

Oh nice... I had a feeling that we were headed into Low territory. So well executed.

That was a good show of DJ Pup's :). I believe he's in for Mike today 🎄

Don't worry, Mok, it'll pick up in a minute

And that sounds really cool, Brian

Vega Christmas!

wow F.O.D was in New Hope last month. I always miss stuff argh

❤️💛💚

Congo radulations

"Death may interfere with your Christmas"

to say the least

JAD!!!!!

sillyness factor increasing

hmm my radio keeps cutting out

Spector lp cover homage

Murry fffffffft

Eartha Yzma 💜⭐

She's been just so good this year

(And yeah, Yzma forever)

The cover for the Eartha Kitt single is something: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Baby#/media/File:Single_Eartha_Kitt-Santa_Baby_cover.jpg

Joseph Spence!

Sandy Clawr iz comin!

Wonderful Bahamian deconstruction

cant be Christmas w/o King Diamond showing up

No presents forever

cheers!

Spinal Tap on Saturday Night Live in the 80s doing their diff song same title "Christmas with the Devil"was a crazy scene. Did not know anything about them at the time

Especially since it was the month of May...

Dex Romweber = 1/2 of the great Flat Duo Jets

Well done, Dan! Fun show! Thanks for showing off your cephalocard:)

I plan my year around Snaildartha

Thanks for listening, y'all! I actually do have a little Jerry the Xmas Snail ornament. It's wonderful

Sabbath Shuffle makes me happy
