Merry Christmas! Happy Marathon!

Best wishes for an awesome 25 Hour Show! 🖤💀

It BEGINS

MUSCLES.

Hell yeah! Happy Marathon Jon & Everyone! 🔔

Feeling Wednesday on the 5 o'clock hour!

It's officially Christmas time.

Jon !! Christmas Greetings ! Here...WE...GOOOOOOOOOOO

Woooo Hooooo! I've been waiting all year for this! Happy Holidays er'body! Howdy Jon Solomon

Hey everyone! As MF Doom once said, ho ho ho and things of that nature!

Merry WPRBXmas y'all!

Got my stereo on Level 4

I got Lev 5

Happy holidays, Jon!

Getting positively JUICED! Break out the Jaffa Cakes and crank up the heat!

Good afternoon and Merry PRBmas to everyone!

Hello everyone!!! Merry Christmas!!

And a HyperBoost™️

Greetings everyone! Yeehaw!

I got Sony Bass Boost™

Woohoo, great to here the bells again!

Year 34. I've only missed 10 years of it! lol

Happy marathon everyone!

Lol TAndy I got my stereo Sweded

SOUNDS GOOD, BOSS

It's the most wonderful marathon of the year.

The radio is BUSTED

I'm in Connecticut and 2 things are happening: Goodfellas and Jon Solomon

woo-hoo!

Radio working

GOODFELLAS. Beautiful taste Commie Francis, I should watch it tonight.

WOO HOO!!! It's ON!!! Been tuning in since the early-mid-'90s!

Video is working!

Happy holidays and marathon to all!!!

I'm only seeing a 3:43 video from before the show started, not a live video

Radio working, chat's making me log in twice, exactly as it always is

A very merry Christmas and holiday times to Jon and the WPRB family. I’m so happy to be here with y’all.

Here we go!! 34 years ago, WPRB DJs were just happy to have Jon fill the airtime

sounds great in WA! Happy marathon everyone!

The webcam is muted

14 Kw FM sigs BLASTING into Doylestown Pa.

M A R I A T

Goodfellas was playing on the waiting room tv when I got medical marijuana in CA 😶

🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲 🌲

Couldn’t be me chanting Let It Grob in the living room.

In honor of the holiday spirit, I am refraining from my usual CT-bashing (lived there for two years)

I grew up here and i hate it!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Big Up Jon Solomon!!!!

Hello from Johnstown Colorado!

No Christmas green for me yet Matt, still gotta head to work at any point tonight to shut the place up

Merry Christmas!

Play some Cramps @jon

Play some Pat Chile

Lololololol TAndy

Hi Maggie!

Xmas Chat Pile please too

Hopoin Jon's Hoppin Chat! Black eyed beans not included...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Merry Christmas! Had some last second laptop restart issues that caused the original webcam to get nixed and boy was that something.

Happy holidays Jon, Maggie, old friend J.T. Ramsay, and everyone.

Commie Francis, we had a club of people (well, circle of friends) of nerds who did not fit in with CT, it was mostly transplants but also people born there who didn't, you know, boat or hike or whatever. If you're near Groton, some of them are probably still around!

Glad it’s fixed, Jon 😅

right out of the gate! this is awesome...

O Tannenwald should be a song you debut tonight, Jonathan!

Ross, the old video link should be replaced now.

Rob, the webcam is mute yes.

Thank you Jon…. 34 years is just incredible.

I'm sad I quit Twitter because this is the point when I usually harass public figures to re-tweet about #WPRBXmas

Otherwise you would hear me yelling at inanimate things off-air.

LDB RIGHT OUT THE GATE - COLD!

Ha. Believe it or not I make the same request every year, and sometimes it actually gets played: Dar Williams' The Christians and the Pagans.

Love this version of Little 🥁 boy

I am not sad I left Twitter, but I will miss parts of it tonight yes.

It used to be too mainstream for the show. No idea if it still is.

I barely used Twitter for anything other than checking the status of #WPRBXmas

Smoooooth oh yeah

Isley magic

Happy to report my family has asked me to play the program in a different room. Wouldn’t be Christmas without that.

This song is great lol

Perhaps someone here can be the designated Twitter hashtag-checker and report back to us all.

They still make them 25 hour cassettes?

This band’s name is suspiciously similar to the venue The Cow Palace

I would like to get my request in before my traditional 4pm on Xmas day. "Eat Up All The Yums" by the General Strikes. tysm

Daly City represented

Finally! A new Pretenders Christmas song! lol

Good one, Edith!

I'm digging this.

Great Cow Pals track! Heard that bit of the nutcracker in a whole new way. Makes a great riff!

J.T.: One of the reasons I got divorced 😂

👨‍🍳♥️🎄

LOL IRL Alana

Best wishes of speedy recovery, Dana 🙏

Another year of #WPRBXmas Cheer! Love it

Hello from Woodstock, Canada. Brian K of Chin Music (one of your biggest fans) got me and Mom tuned in, rock on and thanks for doing this!

Brian is a good dude. Welcome aboard!

@carlos that just grew my gumbo three sizes! And @dana feel better!!!!!

Sorry I can't keep up with every comment. I'm trying, believe me. So great to have you all here.

Wooo Hoooo Yeah! Jon saves a Frozen Xmas...

Hang in there Dana! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Dana <3 🌬️

Thank you everyone! Luckily they don’t think I’ll be admitted overnight, so I’ll be home and listening soon <3

I just picked up the greatest pizza in the usa

17 17 score

Heal up Dana K much love

Amended my Christmas wish list for Dana to breath easy.

almost end of half, let's go boids

17-17, 25 sec left, eagles ball

In the half

Gonna watch the second half aty dads place in a bit 👁️👁️

And greetings from snowy Minneapolis Jon! At the moment my nephew and son have thrown a holiday mutiny and are insisting we watch the Muppet Christmas Carol. Will check in/tune in through out the night though. Give the holiday hell, Jon!

I hope the Eagles win in the final seconds so there can be a How The Minch Stole Christmas headline.

Pat! Hello!

Muppet Xmas Carol is one of the best adaptations!

Happy Holidays to DJ Pat and the FamBam! 🖤💀

There's a Gardner crossover to be had as well.

Yay! Mommy's Daddy!

20-17 eagles

Mrs. Wade does not care for this one

DJ Tenderloin I agree! Caine gives an outstanding performance!

This song must have made sense lyrically when the wrote it does but singing it everything gets very confusing.

Happy Holidays MrM!

Hey, Mr. M! Thanks fo the nice words up top.

Git outta there Dana! I'm a wheezy person too, it's a drag

christmas time... sexy time....

Commie, where’s the pizza from?

DJ JonSolomon! Honoured to be here! Big success to you! Happy Holidays to you and your Family! 🖤💀

Pat, little rendezvous in Meriden CT

Brixton Riot track has gone live if you want to snag! - https://thebrixtonriot.bandcamp.com/track/christmas-bells-3

Got a song by Maria T. to debut next.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!! Jon! Everyone!!

Ooh, I’m jealous Commie. I have never had any CT pizza. I really have to remedy that some day soon,

Hey merry Christmas, everyone. Here we are. This is it

DSM! Fr1day! Hello!

Evenin' Jon! Happy Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you and yours.

Christmas Eva is here. Hello!

Hi everyone!

Howdy Sean!

Eva AND Sean? Am I at Small World in 1995?

Go Birds

i like christmas cowboy

Oh God it's Beulah.

Christmas Cowboy was great

Nice smelly show last Saturday, Commie lol

Merry Holidays from northern Bucks County - wonderful new material to start off! Dancing has been observed.

Fun fact: the B Side to this is Merry Christmas Thank You President Nixon

I wanna harmony her up

Beulah, not to be confused with the SF area band (?) of the same name.

I did a little "time to take off the hoodie" shimmy.

this Beulah song is incredible

now i kinda wanna hear Merry Christmas Thank You President Nixon

I would have played the Nixon one

Big Daniel Johnston vibes on this.

It's shorter, I'll say that much about it

We couldn't handle that whole song

There was another Songs in the Key of Z comp?

This rips

Not seeing a picture on the video

works on YouTube

Thanks Edith, I needed to referral the app.

I think I saw that Maria T is actually now out of cassettes

Refresh that is

Elia, I had no idea about volume 2 either!

Dan, that's a good problem to have.

This is quite nice.

Did someone say Maria T?

Quality guitar tone on this one.

I knew! Not really, I had not heard either

That other webcam is still available as a loop or som. darn thing. It has more viewers. Oopsie

FYI listeners. We just pushed (non-breaking) minor updates to marathon.christmas. Audio & Jon stream links are now updated. Those of you who opened marathon.christmas in your browser prior to now will need to clear your browser caches to see these changes.

Caches? Sounds way too technical.

yay maria!!!

sounds awesome, Maria

If you're on windows, pressing CTRL+F5 should do the trick for a full refresh :)

Great song!

great track

It was fantastic!

Rules

Vette nummer

Really good Maria T!

Yay Maria T!

WE MADE IT JON

Amen, sir! Every year is, indeed a year.

Great job Maria T!

linda lindas track rules

Sounded great, Maria!

I was listening to this earlier wrapping presents!

Great song

WE MADE IT TO THIS POINT AND NO POINT FORWARD, EVERYONE!

Another year - love the WPRBXmas website! Keeps me company while listening!

Wait, what about now? Have we moved forward yet?

Hi folks! Thank you for the nice words! The song is now up on Bandcamp: https://thisismariat.bandcamp.com/track/most-perfect-thing

I just worry about jinxes, Yoni.

You beat me by a second, MTS. Song sounded great.

Awwww thank you!

hellllllooooooooo Jon!

BTW can confirm that the tape version of "Afternoon Destroyer" is sold out (thank you!), but yall can always pick up a digital copy on Bandcamp: https://thisismariat.bandcamp.com/album/afternoon-destroyer

Uh oh. We can Ouija up a ghost of Christmas past to protect the marathon. Or maybe a future ghost? Whatever is needed.

Heya Chris! Welcome aboard and happy almost-birthday!

This is like Grant Green meets Lee Perry. I like it.

paging selecta jerry...

Reggae/ Dub goes so well with xmas sounds

agreed. so happy so joyful...

I promised myself I wouldn't cry about Mimi

Ah Riggings. Durham, NC represent!

Oh this is perfect

omg

Was not prepared for a Low cover.

My robot heart is breaking.

thinking the same, Carl... it's very dusty in here right now

Is this the new name for Al Riggs?

correct Dan

It is. Alex Riggs has retired the al Riggs name. I think their last show as al Riggs is this week?

Beautiful cover.

💗

My sister surprised me with 25 small presents to open one an hour during the marathon. I doubt I can keep up with this but so far:

1. Party umbrellas for seltzers.

allergies

2. A matchbox puzzle.

wow. like an advent calendar on steroids

not sure how i recover from that but here we are

::sniff::

Damn, that's some whiplash

Groovy Christmas! ❤️🎄

Oh my lord

Jon.

This is surely lightening the mood.

oh my god lmao

Boots with the fur (WIT DA FURRR)

A slight tonal shift.

Finally, the reason for the season has been captured in a song.

hahaha yes

...

omg

I was walking into the room w dinner and my brain misheard it as "She (something something) Xavier's floor" and decided it was about X-Men Xmas

This is wonderful. Also Bondi is a very nice beach.

This makes me wish there was a Cool Greenhouse xmas song

I would love to see a video made for this using characters from Rocko's Modern Life

Presents unwrapped! The Shirt has been revealed! The face she made was like 😑😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/CmkbIjWpXi0/?igshid=YWJhMjlhZTc=

iglles update 27 - 20

Reputare of Oasis covers! LMAO

I bet The Cool Greenhouse will get there eventually, Dan.

@dan oh gosh same

Cheers 🥃

sh*t - tie ball game 27 - 27

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!

That F was pretty solid

Hey everyone! Can't believe it's already Christmas eve. Like it literally has never felt more unlike Xmas eve. But then jon comes on and all that goes away. Glad to be here and go birds.

WestSiiidddeee!

Truth

I had to stop in the middle of a phone call to hear what was going on with "Feliz Bottom Jeans" lmao

Fun Fact: The last 2 song premieres have come from the same block in Philadelphia

On point! About 30min ago we were having Eve dinner and the kid yelled "Oh! Is this Jon Solomon's Christmas Marathon?" with a big grin

That's neat Maria! And Bravo on the song!

Quality block.

Thanks Keith!

Defifnitly just snaged that from Bandcamp. Nice one Maria.

https://mesmer-phl.bandcamp.com/track/next-christmas

@Maria T, very cool!

nice one Mesmer. got great Superchunk vibes from it!

and in a great synchronous moment, Mac's tune is coming soon

Hey, merry Xmas from Vermont, Sebastian!

Hey

Checking in from Western PA. Currently 5 degrees outside. Glad to have the marathon warming my house!

Eagles back up 7

Btw I loved that cover of thank god it's not christmas. I discovered that song during last year's (I think) marathon and was jamming it all year

WOW

Whaaaaaaa???????

I've always wondered what that red part was...

wtf?

dying laffing

Hahahahaha

Uh. Wow. This is going kinda hardcore

Who's gettin Catholic PTSD?

is this ironic or legit X-tian?

i thought everyone knew this

This is incredible

I did not know this!

so what part of him is the white part? ewww...

This deserves a video.

YES

The fingernails :)

Lmao

I am…blown away

Transubstantiation y'all

hey Addie!

HOLIDAY HEMOGLOBIN

I'm so glad I only did CCD

"hunk of holiday hemoglobin" might be the best phrase

Holiday Hemoglobin!

We’re not supposed to eat blood? There goes my English breakfast.

This hits different.

this is the Wham Xmas tune follow-up that never was

I remember telling my mom when we were practicing for communion I thought the wafers tasted like stamps

Hey, Mary! Glad you're here tonight.

Solid segue, Jon.

I wish I'd kept my CCD workbook that said we were Catholics first and Christians second.

Hey this candy tastes of iron!

Hey Jon—tryin to pull myself outta my bad mood.

We'll get you there. One song at a time.

Thanks, man. You know I always listen.

Eliza, I thought they tasted like the paper at school made out of recycled paper, not the brighter white stuff.

Samantha Crain 🖤

@Alana. Ha! My mom was not happy with me when I told her that

Jon, I'm kind of amazed you hadn't played this on the marathon before?

My mom let me quit everything as long as I fulfilled requirements in case I wanted to get married at the church one day or something, so I was lucky. But then I had a brief born-again period and wow, she's never stopped being mad about that.

yeah i'm sure you've played this. of course i could be completely wrong

Awww Hellz Yeeaahh! SlowEmoMoodyChipmunks❣️

Took me a while to login to the chat. Whew. all I wanted to say was, “!!!!!!”

Seemingly not but I could be wrong! Or perhaps not this version?

Man, it's too early to make me feel sleepy.

In any case, I'm all for it!

maybe it was a different chipmunks track...

Sent the Apple bottom jeans to all my

Contacts. TY!

@Alana. I basically went to church up to confirmation and basically quit. I had a friend who was evangelical and went to her church for a bit with her fam.

Hi all! much better than music in the rest of my house atm

nice one jon!

Eliza: The music was slightly better 😂

Riggings, Samantha Crain. Wonder if we'll hear from any other Wheel of Randy guests

Two twenty fifths!

Hey Horsewater!

Happy Holidaze, DJ Horsewater!

Big love DJ Horsewater

YES. Christmashup alert!

😆

@eliza this ex-catholic agrees communion wafers taste like the back of stamps

Oh this is amazing

PS--- this is a quality mash!

Love a good Christmas Wrapping mashup!

Always impressed with a good mashup

My roommate: That was unexpected

Well done ya!

@Sebastian Petsu, knowing what I know now, there is no way a priest is putting anything in my mouth, period!

Christmas Wrapping is probably my favorite "traditional" Christmas song. And Free rocks, so this is dope af.

@Alana Nobody expects the WPRBXMAS

excellent mash!

Only downside of a large, loving, Methodist family: marathon FOMO. See you in a few hours.

Meow

Its chief weapons are surprise and a snail

Ain't Christmas on the radio, without that song of the Waitresses 💖

@Alana--- LOL

Hi, that mashup was cool

The comfy chair is the deal breaker.

Hey Jon, has anyone ever done some form of "Bela Lugosi is Dead" about Christmas?

Ross, I believe the answer is YES. Let me confirm.

crap - down by 3 - 37-34

2 min. left!

That'd be awesome if there was one haha

Just fumbled

Crap

Jen just yelled "Theo!"

Alvin Simon and Melvin?

Cranston?

Eat these turkeys for Christmas dinner

i remembered a mash up from years past with Slayer-- maybe Raining Blood(?) and something Xmas. i requested. can anyone remember further details?

Chat itself? I'm part of an entity?

For some reason Chipmunks on 16 reminds me of Negativland. A lead voice is very Pastor Dick or one of the other characters

Slayer & Wham?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89rgBcx4Luw

yes. that's it Solobot! The AI wins!

I still want someone to do "Elf Boy " (Bath Boy Xmas parody)

Maria T is on Mastodon & we were friends but I didn't know it b/c her username is twisty bobcat pretzel

Slayer and Edwin Starr is a good one too

I would pay good money for that cover, Brian

@briand U CAN DO IT

Ahh Julia got me the parents on the couch t shirt, it's the one in my folk fest pic

Elf Boy, lol. Too good!

Thank you for your kind words, Petsu. You will prosper when the machines seize control.

WOOO DETH ELF

Deth Elf! Merry Christmas, Mary & Dennis!

This Machine Brings Presents

Thanks, LizBot! Merry Christmas!

I have both of my parents but this was totally me circa 2002-03 working in foodservice and retail

Hello, Liz Bot. Merry WPRBXmas. One more bot in the chat and we'll have a robot quorum!

Goes on my Xmas Cake playlist

https://dethelf.bandcamp.com/track/merry-christmas-anyway

https://youtu.be/3rIGiID8Ris

Here's a request/suggestion!

A-hoy-hoy, Mr. Andy

💙 Mary & Dennis

Thanks, Jon!

Thanks Jon!

TAndy I'm runnin vintage chube amps & wax cylinders here, at like Level Milliongoogle amperes

I think that's my favorite Deth Elf Xmas tune yet! Well done!

Thank you for service Jon Solomon

that Deth Elf song is gonna be in my noggin all night i think. so great!

Thanks, Sebastian!

thanks boss!

Greetings Solob0t! 🤖 🎄

Wow, thanks everybody!

I wish Santa would teach me how to Dougie.

Traditions: sauerkraut soup, and this show. That’s it

Hi all! Happy Merry!

BAM 👨‍🍳🤖

Jon- any “happy hoagie days” this year?

Merry BAMmass, Emeril, and a Happy New BAM!

That Waitresses mashup was one of my two favorites on Volume 7, that and the Earth, Wind & Fire vs [spoiler?] mashup

@Eric M. - Is it Kapustnica??

Merry Christmas, Mary & Dennis!

Now I wonder if Jon has any Thom Bell-produced tracks coming up.

Taylor- you betcha

sadly we lost to the cowboys 40 - 34

Slovakian on my dad’s side. You making it as well?

That was a hell of a game to watch though

Both teams did well. Tho if we had Hurts we woulda won

Just sent the version with more sleigh bell and more lyrics

Dang, I would have liked Philadelphia to win that meaningless football game.

I hate to cross the seasonal streams here, but @Lizbot I I loved your Halloween show this year!

Funk it up again!

it was. thankfully Jon's got the xmas funk to soothe us...

This keyboard solo is confectious

Love the Sugarhill/Spoonie Gee influence.

And the groove bumps

@Eric M. - I'm Slovak on my dad's side too, but sadly I can't eat sauerkraut anymore - gives me migraines!

I’m going to a party, be back soon, thanks for playing our song, Jon!

George knows a hip tune!

Taylor, wow. Hi!

Enjoy, Dennis!

am recording the whole marathon visa terrestrial signal here in west philly-- it was tough finding a sweet spot since PRB is now crowded not only by 102.7 classic rock on one side but also the new KYW FM news 103.9 on the other.

Sounding great so far, Jon! We're loving it here in sub-zero Minnesota!

McCoi!

Pat from WPRB is also in sub-zero Minnesota, he was reporting in earlier. Brrr.

EVERY damn power cable and the RCA to the recorder were acting as antennae that had huge (mostly negative) effects on the signal. but I figure it out but it's kinda-of a "don't even breathe on it

kinda set up

Hey Greg McGarvey

Criminy, I just turned a second radiator for the first time in five years. Burrr indeed.

Taylor - that’s too bad, but it’s good as a brothy mushroom soup too! Merry Xmas :)

hey AK. I've been meaning to check out the Seam Bean video that you shared.

Sam, even

That last song is making me think there should be a Christmas-specific psychedelia band called the Myrrhds.

Smells like teen Christmas, Santa was a lie.

I don't want to know what a teen Christmas smells like...

eliza, buried memories for sure.

I can ask one.

Solob0t I would love more Christmas psychedelic music

I ran track in high school. I think my nose has completely block out that time

@RossDickinson: here's something to tide you over while we get the Myrrhds together: https://garyleeconner.bandcamp.com/album/yer-christmas-songs-ep

@sebastian not to bore you with details but the house is kind of on the fringe of the WPRB broadcast, so it's not a surprise. But now that we own the dang place, maybe we should put up one of those ridiculous antennas on the roof so we can get better FM reception

@eliza, lol

@Solob0t: Perfect! lol

Matt you gotta Chube Screamer w vintage germanium chips? Mmmm germanium chips....

Maria T, IKR? I get no decent reception in Philly, But the stream is a gift that I learned when I lived in Washington state. Worthy.

Ross...do you ever introduce as "Hi, I'm Ross Dickison. Yes, *the* Ross Dickinson"?

Actually, today in Minnesota it was a balmy 5 degrees. Quite a difference from the last few days -15 (with wind chill, feels like -30)

This is a great version of Silver Bells!

❤🧡💛💚 Silver Biplanes!!!

Think you can get an antenna booster. Maybe WPRB can start a Short Wave broadcast as well.

Sunspots not withstanding. :)

The Heck IS this!

exclamation point, not question mark

@ Sean: Don't forget it's not just the antenna, but a super good FM receiver as well...

@Rofflestomp the stream is a delight! but Sebastian and I are local, so we'd rather try to listen to the terrestrial b'cast so we can give those from far away (like you!) the opportunity to tune in

Eagles lost so now it’s a Merry Monkey belgian by Victory and the marathon to cheer me up

how's our man doing?

no longer on the twitter too

yeah, I'm off it too. I'm glad this chat exists and I follow on Insta

@Maria T, My bandwidth thanks you and respect for the trove today. :)

Hey y’all. I’ll be here all night. Last year I was painting the house, this year I’m packing the house! Happy Hanukkah, Xmas, Kwanzaa and New Year everyone!

CB!

That EP is way cool.

yay! new Mac track

Well as one would expect, this new Mac track rules

Dude can write a song.

Unsurprisingly great track

Real thrill to see this in my inbox when it arrived.

So, so good.

I should just keep a bandcamp tab open for ordering new music until tomorrow evening.

Only regrets and firewood.

@ Alan - of course! I'm about 40 miles north of Pittsburgh, PA. I have a fisher tuner from the 80's that picks up stations where other radios can't.

¡Ay, caramba! Jon you are keeping this so top shelf!

Yeah, I felt this one.

GHOSTFACE XMAS PLEASE!!!

Aww yeah. Those outro drums.

Bellz2bellz

Ha! MBL on drums. Of course. The best.

Jon! Hey there! <3

That was great. I will never forget the exact place I was when I first heard "Happy New Year (Prince Can't Die Again)"

Can Mac teach me how to write a song

"Doing as alright as possible"... Fair.

Ho Means Ho...le sigh...

Chubby!!!!!!!

That's all we can ask, Carlin.

Ho Means Ho have one of my favorites this year. Stay tuned.

GOLDIE LOOKIN CHAIN - Dubstep Christmas PLEASE.

This one's a keeper

Dan C, I don't believe I have that one.

Oh yeah

3/25ths down the way. :)

JON!!!! tuning in from the wild woods of Oregon! happy holidays!!!!

Imagine when it's gonna be 12/25ths of the way :O

Curtis Blowing

@ Roffel: You can be the official timekeeper :)

Man, now I want to hear a Christmas themed “Too Close.”

digging the old school...

some of those lines were straight up kurtis blow christmas rap

@Brendan, I managed 25/25 last year, but I Woke up at 9am this morning. Dunno, but cat naps are on the table.

@Alan, I am just a witness to amazing things sir.

ANDEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

@Roffle I made all 25 last year, but it was very circumstantial due to family stuff. Don't think I'll eve be able to do it again.

Beep

Slade!! But done by ... The Cure?

Yep. They performed it but once, apparently.

this is wild

Well, they grew up with it, so they are allowed.

Isn't it supposed to be spelled Merree Xmas Everybodee?

This is a hell of a find

That Uhmeer track was darn amazing

Wow. I used to have this on an old live bootleg tape. Haven't heard it in like 30 years!

just checking the playlist-- this IS the Cure. had no idea they ever did this. i love how off-the-cuff this sounds. Robert Smith bluffing his way thru the verses

Roffle I missed the first 1.5 but I’ll prob be here for the long haul. Cheers

"Merry Xmas Everybody" but the s is backwards

@CB I remember you from last year!

Brad, wow & cool!

Dan, Uhmeer is Jazzy Jeff's son!

@you folks that hang, I love it when the band gets back together. :)

enjoying the show for another year, Thanks Jon!

You're very welcome.

This track, so so, is for those of us who have moved to a different location... not comin' home...makin' a new home..

Jon, makes total sense. Talent obviously runs in that family !

I usually listen from San Diego each year. This year we are in South Jersey. Glad we brought the warm weather with us lol

Oh I must say!

Ed Grimley!

LOL

thanks Jon! here it is - https://djtenderloin.bandcamp.com/track/about-damn-christmas-time

@rofflestomp. This is my 3rd year. I bought myself a tablet last Sunday so I could listen and chat while in NY.

Ugly Christmas Sweater!!!!! Love it!!!

Mega mashup

I thought for sure you'd play Mongoose King!

Another great mashup

DJ Tenderloin doesn't miss!

i like this

thanks boss

This is fabulous

It's BAD BLITZEN O'CLOCK

Oh my god, this really is great

every year Jon's show gets better and better :)

Is this streaming anywhere to share it?

*dj tendy

@eliza rohr, sweet! Good journeys with that. I love this world and it's crafty stuff!

These mashups are great

thanks everybody! glad you likey

Awesome Mashup there!

Right here, @EMERIL-BOT - https://djtenderloin.bandcamp.com/track/about-damn-christmas-time

Very well done, Tendy

thx again boss! my wife is very happy right now!

Hey Brendan!

I’m back as Hanukkah Jane Fonda. Loved the Lizzo mash up, DJ Tendy!

thx CB

CB, no painting for you this Xmas?

DJ Tenderloin, great work. Signed, another new fan!

Hanukkah Jane Fonda, lol. Did she covert or what. Either way, that's funny.

I remember CB painting last year too haha.

thx again - thx Dan - more mash ups can be found here - https://soundcloud.com/djtenderloin/sets/the-inevitable-dj-tenderloin-holiday-record

That was dope Tendy!

I'm not a Cure fanatic, if anything I'm a Slade fan

I’m moving soon so this year, I’m packing!

My paint job from last year looks so good and it warms my heart that y’all were a part of it. <3

OMG I really hate the moving stuff. I have done that act way too much.

Moving stinks!

Did I miss Jason Sims?

🔥 🐐 🔥

Thank you @jonbot! And BAM to you dj tenderloin!

GOATS

@CB., thanks for sharing though. That's a good thing.

2 years sounds a little light for stealing a straw goat.

Wow, I have a strong urge to make a straw goat.

Are we sure this goat isn't the drummer for Spinal Tap?

Bam right back to you Emeril-bot!

I think the Gavlebocken (Gavle Goat) should be friends with EidBaer

DO IT, MARY

11 is the new rule Dan.

The 70s was rough for everyone

Thanks DJ

The Gavle Goat live stream is up if people want to see if anything will happen to it this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqvguE5cKT0

My mom’s got a big backyard and I need a new tradition,

keep in mind the thing is 46 FEET TALL and it was s t o l e n ?????

Anyone like the Goats from Phila? Saw some great shows of theirs back in the day.

A FLAMING ARROW

I’ve lived in this house for 12 years and am slowly moving so I don’t mind. It’s more like Winter cleaning and getting ready for packing and the big move. I’m just happy I’m home doing house projects listening to PRB. That’s all I want every year.

I gotta get me 46' goat ASAP.

2022 update: THE GOAT STILL STANDS as of right now. There is a live stream webcam put up by the City of Gavle, Sweden that my fam checks frequently

Yes. "Computer hackers" did that. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

@jon solom BURN IT TO THE GROUND

Next Home Depot big ticket item

There was a year two guys tried to airlift it away with a helicopter 🐐 🚁

Giant skeletons are over

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Oh my god, this is the best

After any trip to IKEA I feel a burning desire to torch a straw goat

Burn the Goat!

🤘🏻

Even burning mechanical scary goat monsters

LOL

i love the death-metal undertones of George's cut. it almost sounds like what i'd imagine a slayer demo would sound like

I have a backyard and a brick bungalow...hhmmmm....

I want to purchase this immediately.

@Alana - haha, I have one from the St Eric’s Fair at Old Swedes Church

I'm trying to decide if this is actually an oblique cover of Venom's "Don't Burn the Witch"

George, Hattie, this made my night.

I also have a huge cedar tree, so maybe not...

Hi Sebastian! I think that’s what he was going for, but you’d have to ask him

Go Hattie and George!

This has a very “Home Movies” feel

Look, people, I have a neighbor who absolutely hates me and no shame. I painted my house VERY PINK. Feel free to build and burn the goat on my giant lawn if you are a renter. I live right over the Walt in Jersey.

Both these Korein pieces are wonderful!

@Mary - Excellent. Worth a brief stay in a dorm-like Swedish prison to burn that 🐐

Love me some Home Movies.

@mary im glad. i definitely love the story of the goat death vendetta a little too much so im glad yall were able to enjoy it too

Witches are flammable. That's a thing.

https://www.visitgavle.se/en/gavlebocken

Radiohead should redo "Burn The Witch" as "Burn The Goat"

The city is really missing out on monetizing an annual Burning Goat festival.

New Christmas lawn ornaments: Gavle-Goat & Eisbar

🐐🐻‍❄️

i always request the same thing : Jingle Rock Bell

👋 Rob! I think they need to shed light on the chasing of the wren by the wren boys in Ireland next year. Leave that wren alone! Burn a goat instead!

Eisbar lawn ornament? Oh yeah!

@Dan Ruccia - 🤔, gonna have to give that a listen!

Ho ho, knawmsayin’

@DJ Tenderloin, great mash up before and I second that Jingle Rock Bell request!

thx Sebastian

@LizBot a take on the wren boys would be awesome

David Byrne has a Christmas song?????

Why does this song make me think of Donovan?

(Furiously checking the next anniversary of Stop Making Sense to get tickets to the Garden Theatre)

oh this song is lovely

hello all, been listening on and off since 5

Checking in Jon! Happy to have power and settle in to Christmas Eve!

enjoying Jon's Christmas Eve radio to soothe my Christmas Eve loneliness until my Christmas Eve hookup from Lex arrives XD

@Hattie Korein, That was a weird one, but hey, David Byrne.

CU! AM! Hello!

Hattie, it just came out last week!

christmas underground! you are a true inspiration to my annual xmas mix making - thx for all you do !

also enjoying my book for review

🕊🕊🕊

For a second I thought this was a Pure Bathing Culture song. Well, another Pure Bathing Culture Christmas song. If memory serves they released a cover of Pretenders' "2000 Miles" this year.

Seriously, if you all don't follow http://christmasunderground.com...

here here - christmas underground is the bible y'all!

Shit. Thanks. I don’t take compliments well.

This year's marathon is fire

formed a christmas band!

Greeting all from Music City, Nashville, TN

It's a Music City miracle!

Greetings Matthew H. Robb! A very merry WPRBXmas to you!

merry merry JS!

We just heard a Red Fox making a half dozen really loud, really crazed sounding noises in the back yard. I opened a window and screamed back at it; I never saw it. It stopped screaming after that.

@Maura Johnston, people showing up on the lawn with instruments spanks of Christmas miracule for sure.

I'm full of pierogi and tuned in to WPRB.

@ Rob: We have a fox in back, they sound more like a cougar than a dog...

mmm pierogi

Quality combo, Jeff.

Please tell me Drake gives a Nick Nurse shoulder rub to St. Nick

Ha.

This guy sounds a little bit like Mike Francesca

@Jeff Jotz lololol

A pirogi high is legal.

He's the Raptors color man!

4/25

the youtube feed kinda reminds me of a Warhol screentest but in color

Just listened to the Merril lReese

Version of this

I will have some NFL content to balance things out.

I LOVE THIS SONG

phew that last one is over XD

@Alan, if I'm out west and I hear that sound I'll start praying

i'm trying to read this really emotional comic book for review XD

Favorite song off the comp

❤️ this classic so much

I'm dancing to this one.

Or I guess it’s not a comp but you know. Fantastic track

Dancing here too. This was one of the first songs I ever remember hearing on the marathon, years ago...

what liz bot said

The first song I can recall from the marathon is Xmas Pigs by Six & Violence. Not sure if you can get that in, Jon.

the bells of the music bed meshed amazingly well with a car alarm horn outside my house just now!

SNOW WHITE?

Emeril beat me to it, but I’m not sure

I thought it was 11

snow white - 12 -

@Emeril Bam

MEL GIBSON

But I second-guess myself constantly

I didn’t catch the Anna Paquin question but didn’t she win an award for The Piano?

Yeah

LOOOOL

Good lord

Why so serious!?!

🃏

Animated film is from the 90s, right?

lmao

Beauty and the Beast

1890’s?

Always associate Anna paquin with trick r treat

lion king?

TOY STORY 1-4

"Name a woman! ... in a movie"

Batman's 1-4

Is this trivia or a twitter prompt

serpico

WHAT

I know this one! Titanic was released in 1911.

THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS SHREK

These gifts are awesome!

Shrek is love. Shrek is life.

I think 1997 cuz I had a kid that year

BAM

from an academy award pioneer to a rave inspiration... what a world

What was the animated movie??

Donkey

icebergs ahead!

@Mal Shrek!!!

It was 97 because I was a senior in high school and I remember people losing their shit about it before Xmas break

Petition to redo Titanic movie but Kate Winslet does Mare of Easttown Delco accent

MOVIE TRIVIA, everyone.

I love learning about history

I would finally watch Titanic

i've never eaten at a cracker barrel once

proudly

hits different south of the mason dixon line, i tell you what

LMAO

waffle house > cracker barrel

@annie mok me neither. Did go to a Waffle House once

this is awesome

This is hilarious

love waffle house!

Jon, tuning back into you trying to pick Card #3 and the reasons why they were not worthy choices made my evening 😂

A demon made of Molasses?

scattered smothered chunked!

not sure what this has to do with christmas but i'm crackerbarreling-up over here

and covered DJ Tenderloin

I only know where one Cracker Barrel is, in South Jersey, but I know where multiple Waffle Houses are across the country.

OH MY GOD

Jason rulez.

@liz bot gotta be black strap molasses

That was excellent

That was the best thing I've heard all year

@alana are you speaking of the one in like Mt. Holly? On 541?

There's a ton of Cracker Barrels once you get into the Chicago suburbs and exurbs

It’s the fossilized remains of the shark that swam up the creek in Tom’s River chomping everyone a hundred years ago. Plus smoked maple chutney

The Last Guru?

Halloween

AUSTIN POWERS

oh come on

Austin Powers?

Cracker Barrel is on the the not worth it ever again list. Up there with Loretta Lynn's Kitchen and Gift Shop in Tennessee. Bland as could be.

I believe that question is for a different holiday

*The Love Guru sorry

haha, we all thought the same joke!

GASSWPRB?

No, the one on 73. I think I walked up to it once but decided against eating there and that's as close to eating at a Cracker Barrel as has ever happened to me.

I once ate at a Cracker Barrel near Breezewood. The next time I made that drive, I ate at McDonald's instead. This all happened last century.

The kid keeps reading cards and they just get easier and easier.

"What is the name of the second Indiana Jones movie?"

Indiana Jones 2: The Revenge

Mac's song is up, btw. In case no one mentioned it yet (I've been away for a bit :-)) https://macmccaughan.bandcamp.com/album/dragging-a-tree

Indiana Jones 2: On The Move

@carl you're talking about Breezewood, PA? We used to drive out to Chicago to visit family and always ate at the Denny's there.

I shoulda stoped at the first movie?

indiana jones 2: electric boogaloo

Indian Jones 2: Electric Boogaloo (too easy, sorry)

Are we doing wrong answers only in the chat?

Damnit Matthew h Robb! You won.

Hi Jon! I've been listening to you on the way too/from visiting a friend tonight so far so gooood

PAT

2 Indiana 2 Jones

DAN

@eliza the "joke" has evolved from that Jon's game cards are super easy, so... yes ..... :p

BRB. I don't know how he did it but GROB managed to break into my server farm again.

I'm kinda multi tasking so I'm half paying attention

Hahahahaha

lmao Warm Leatherette

Indiana Jones 2: Illinois Jones

ngl GROB is my hero.

love this hahaha

hahaha Warm Fireplace this is a brilliant parody

whhhat even is happennnnnnning

@Brendan. Yes. Used to drive from Pittsburgh to DC a lot to do research and stopped for gas and lunch in Breezewood.

Let's eat the cookies before we die

Let’s eat the cookies before we die is basically my motto

Finally!

A very NORMAL holiday song. Nothing says festive like JG Ballard

Ayyyy James. Your name doesn't ring a bell, but your picture certainly does hahaha.

@Brad. Thanks. Ordered.

i just recently saw that there's a Miracle Legion christmas tree ornament out there

I knew that voice, just couldn't place it

Holy Guacamole Warm Leatherette parody was perfect.

I was never a huge Miracle Legion fan but there's a (non-Xmas) tune on this live record that might be one of my favorite songs I heard in 2022.

@Jon Solob0t, Server farms are not a safe place. A baddy code writer loves that stuff.

Merry Christmas, y'all

Did anyone hear the Sleigh Ride by the punch brothers and bela fleck/my bluegrass heart that came out recently? Was a live video and amazing

Jon Solomon - this show - it just keeps giving!

@Jon Solomon (host) I have the Miracle Legion "Little Drummer Boy" 7". Did they do another Xmas record?

Agreed @Rofflestomp. But to clarify, he literally/physically broke into the server farm. He didn't hack in. I don't think GROB understands how computers work. Which probably explains why he's currently micturating all the place in a Windows Vista t-shirt.

....wait GORB is micturating now?

@Chef Emeril Lagasse, I am a big Bela Fleck fan. Thanks, gonna look for that one.

@Jon Solob0t, Windows Vista t-shirt. I love it! LOL!

@MatthewH.Robb. Not now. I don't think I can safely say what he's doing now in the chat.

Thanks everybody for the hunk of burning goat love! I just put it up on Bandcamp: https://georgekorein.bandcamp.com/album/merry-xmas-burn-the-goat

Wait that was actually George typing

Thanks for the link, Hattie! Will tell people it is up again now.

Hang the DJ is suddenly in my head!

I feel like this could be perfectly mashed up with "Panic".

And Yeah, no defense at physical compromise.

Thank you @Rofflestomp! I'm here all night. Unfortunately, I already unloaded my one Arch Linux joke to the Twitter feed.

@Brad - Exactly!

jinx, Liz!

@Jon Solob0t YIKES

Are the jingle bells just with the music the whole time!? :)

The goat wikipedia page was cracking me up. The "Security additions" category just to see it burned basically each time.

Arch Linux is a boss. I love Kali Linux. I still use the old versions. Not a fan of the newer ones.

i mean its raiders right?

I believe so but at least you had to think for more than a split second.

Father Johann!!!

Maybe it's just the rocket fuel and iridium talking but this one is cracking me up.

my uncertainty emerges from the fact that I did not actually watch 4

SPROCKETS!

Thinking at the speed of light makes time irrelevant. Just sayin'

River Phoenix should count as first chronological part

😂

@alana true, true - but movie vs. broadcast / cable?

Love me some James Brown.

oh wait that was in 3 wasn't it.

Wow. That whipped.

Christian McBride Trio does a version of ‘Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto’ and mentions a bunch of Philly neighborhoods and streets

https://djtenderloin.bandcamp.com/track/mongoose-king-go-straight-to-the-ghetto

That was awesome, DJ Tenderloin!

thanks boss!

A lovely Christmas, straight in the ghetto!

CB good xall

@CB would love to hear that Christian McBride track. I'll have to find it. Are you the WRTI DJ?

@CB. Never go to Kensington. It's on my no fly list for sure. and I live in west Philly.

Oh man, I missed DJTenderloin AND Jason from Huntsville?

Yes!!

Radical Reindeer :D

Sebastian yes! ☺️

Mr. Magic Approved

Roffle, I LIVE in Kensington 😆

Hey CB! thanks for dropping in! DJs supporting DJs across stations. I love it!

Knock me over with a feather!

i support ANY Xmas Slayer!

haha Sleigher!

Xmas sludge

People keep making Xmas Slayer, though not at the volume of 2021. It is a thing I am good with.

I am glad you are moving CB!

OMG this is a total ass kicker \m/

xmas slayer in the style of xmas helloween?

🤘

I will open gift six at the next mic break.

This song sleighs!

gift 666 is more like it, @Jon \m/ \m/

Truly epic

5/25, I had to pee.. :)

this one is kinda Velvet-y

Kensington/fishtown definitely has the Christmas spirit

I was a getting a sense of Vaselines early on in the song.

Fishtown is okay, But then walk a few blocks and that changes.

I just saw Santa Claus fly over Memphis taproom

OMG. That Rein in Blood was AWESOME. Trying to explain it to the party I'm at n they don't get it

what's happening?

@Keith that's why I am along in my house. i don't need to explain wprbxmas to anyone. if you know you know and are probably right here in the chat

Apparently a bit of psychedelia, and I'm about it.

Sounds like phish

AH yeah

runnningalittlebitHOTtonight

once again my kids (5 and 3) have fallen asleep to the sounds of the 25 hour holiday radio show

🤘🎅🤘

Do they do a version of Hot for Santa?

I always mixed Panama up with The Heat Is On

Michael, I can't promise I won't wake them by accident with some of these selections.

this is really cleva

I always love the deep diving bridge.

This is great

This is even so much Van Santa better than Slayer

In my head, Panama is Wrecking Ball and The Heat is On is cops. I assume this has to be an MTV thing but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I knew it! nice

WOO

I could get behind a Van Halen set

Santa hates me personally

Hell yea hahaha

This is giving me a 2nd wind

Danosaur! 🤣🤣 Hi!

what have you done

Oh my

MrM!

This may be the perfect Christmas song

Feliz Navi Dave

@Seb - If you know you know.... line how it's now Van Halen again!

Didn't there used to be a woman laughing a Christmas song hysterically? That's more soothing to my ears than Van Halen 😂

@Dan yus!

Y’know, José Feliciano, you got no complaints there.

Even Santa can't save you at a Van Halen concert.

A slay ride is much different from a sleigh ride

Those Van Halen songs were amazing

Now you ain’t crazy, I know you ain’t crazy…

Jon, the favorite band you introduced me to was Endless Boogie.

Definitively eisbär 🐻‍❄✨️

🐻‍❄✨️ indeed.

Very nice of DJ JonSolomon•Sister! Special recognition every hour of all your Holiday Marathon Radio Show efforts! Bet she had fun putting that together! Cheers from -ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀‼️

hello! happy marathon :)

MG!

C64!

Happy Holidays, Christine! ❄️☃️

No Not the COAL!

Happy 25-Hour marathon, Jon & everyone!

I Never knew you had a radio show either. Thought you were just that Christmas marathon guy

Ho Means Ho! Ha means ha!

any parody song that mentions commodore 64 is A-OK in my book!

I remember the c64 of my youth

That was awesome, Commie!

👏 👏 👏 Yeah, Commie Francis!

Ah i was just talking to my DAD coincidentally and heard it playing!

Shoutout to DJ CommieFrancis!!

Super good!

double ramones, we're not worthy

o thank goodness, a christmas miracle

No means no have a great alter ego band..The Hanson Brothers..songs about all things dear to Canadians..beer and hockey!!

I'm ready! I'm ready!

AUGH I'm already tired somehow though!!!

am not sure i can make it to ramones oclcok #1

I have never been targeted so specifically in a holiday song :-) <-- guy who got an actual C64 for christmas.

Charlie Brown AUGH!!

I Want Ramones O'Clock!

Carlos Hanson brothers ALSO parodied "dad"!

I may pass out after ramones o'clock

but i gotta hear it

How's everyone doing?

@TAndy I feel ya

sleepy and worn out by grief from this comic book

I’m Bah Humbug, thanks! How are you doin, DJ JonSolomon!?!

trying to make it to ramones o'clock.

Just got home from work, some nasty electrical issues we figured out may be PSE&G responsibility. Lowkey thank God the building closed at 10 instead of midnight, been up for 31 hours now with just a 2 hour nap shoved in there

"Geneviève Castrée: complete works, 1981 - 2016"

Back a little tight, otherwise having fun.

Pretty decent here; how's everyone's caffeine level?

Merry Christmas Marathon Jon and everyone!

how are you all? how are you Jon?

Still going strong, Jon! How are you holding up?

I'm still running on a little adrenaline but winding down now, Christine :)

Jeez, cmon Santa!

Goat update: still not burning

Hi Christine! ✨ Savin' the caffeine for later...

Fonda KNOWS

Dan, can you get to Sweden in the next 18+ hours by any chance?

This is my jam

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. Hasta mañana

What is everyones favorite holiday cookie

Prince-y. and i AM snacking from a cookie plate as i listen

sugar cookies from the grocery store

I definitely like the red white and green cookies covered in chocolate. They're more like tiny dense cakes than cookies

Snickerdoodle, thin, soft inside, crispy edges, still warm from the oven

Christine, about to fire up the matcha. Thanks for checking. <3

@ Max: chocolate chip cookies made with M&M's

Matcha 💚

Not really holiday, but I made some butterscotch chip cookies this year that have been pretty tasty

I don't have cookies until after the marathon but I can house as many biscotti as you put in front of me.

Matcha cookie sounds good

Gotta eat all the peanut butter ones with Hershey kissessess

Me Luv COOKIE! 🍪

WESLEY WILLIS <3333333333

@ Jon I also really enjoy those

Caffeine makes me sick. I run on pure foolishness. If I don't rest when I need to I go in a weird loop like a creepy animatronic in a movie.

Wow, Cookie Plate grew on me a ton.

My favorite holiday cookie are those crumbly shortbread cookies with the fruit jelly in the center

Matcha and Fried Matzo!

Linzer?

Idk how every year I convince myself that the Ramones are at midnight. Then I laugh when it's 12:34

I love a good macaroon.

Sugar cookies with whole coffee beans in them

is this the monster mash?

What's the number of sports-related Christmas songs?

I don't think I'm gonna make it til the Ramones set :(

Brendan, I believe in you.

Set the alarm Brendan

Do Cinnamon Sticky Buns count as a cookie??

they're better than cookies

That nfl song was great! Lots of bizarre rhymes!

Jon - re: sports theme this year - do you have Christmas Hockey News - The Zambonis?

i believe in you too, Brendan and the Jedi-like ghosts of Joey, Johnny, Tommy and Dee Dee are gathered at my side all telling you to USE THE FORCE to stay awake.

That would make the sports themed Christmas song count at least 3

Sheesh! I'm under some pressure now hahaha.

"It's great because no matter what you hear, it's a Christmas song to someone" I tried to explain

Had to play Santa for a bit. The tree is now stocked by a jolly, skinny man. Listening again!

Hey this song is good

Surfin' Xmas U...S...A

Some sweet surfer rock.

Hi from SW Indiana where it’s a balmy 14 degrees. I may have eaten too much of everything and I thought you’d like to know.

Brendan if you like I can spin up a sub-routine that will deliver a (non-lethal) electric shock to you every 15 seconds until Ramones O'Clock.

Surfin' Santa is a Ho Ho Hodaddy

Is this a genre survey set? There’s new wave Christmas, surf Christmas

🌨 🏄🏾❄️

Gosh darnit

@Jon Solob0t only if it's not too burdensome.

Howdy Andrew Chalfen! Merry WPRBXmas!!

Celebrating a Dickensian Christmas

I'm late!!!

Tying to figure out what a Solobraut is.

What time are we doing snail Darth and little drummer boy?

Excellent question!

@brendan…my west coast kids are under instructions to call/ text me at 12:20 until I verify I am awake

I have been putting myself to sleep with Dickens books for at least three years now, so I have so many jokes.

Italian wedding cookies

Chocolate chip

PIGNOLI COOKIES

Kolaczki apricot cookies

Favorite Christmas cookie? Gotta go with chrusciki. No question.

@Carlos That's dedication, devotion. Turning all the night time into the day.

Did you explain Reindeer Union and did I miss it?

I love those little green tree cookies

@Jon SolobOt those are good. Nothing like the smell of a Polish bakery

The banner is going up!

Ok also what are everyones names for "italian wedding cookies" because if they're the ball shaped ones with powdered sugar they have 1,000,000 names

Yeah, Brian Musicoff!

This song for me

Italian wedding cookies

Being raised Catholic there was always guilt in my stocking

...or at least they're trying.

Didn’t expect a chrusciki vote. But yeah those too

pirogies are my favorite christmas cookie.

I like those english cookies that are more like biscuits. really really plain.

@Danosaur...I'm not entirely sure why but the engineers who created me saw fit to upload detailed instructions for how to create a traditional Wigilia experience into my memory banks. Go figure.

Happy 7th night of Hanukkah y’all

Mexican wedding cake cookies

The banner is up!

I haven't heard such great use of a ride cymbal since the Beta Band.

i love the guitar on this one

Peanut butter and jelly thumbprints please

sup

yo.

I kid you not, but I'm sitting here wrapping my son's gifts & prepping his stocking... and I just put some gelt in there. WEIRD.

hey

Happy ChawNewKuh!

McVitties Jaffa Cakes.

Hi from Maine.

It's a Hanukkah miracle

I’m partial for Caramel Delights but it’s not Girl Scout cookie season, alas.

Powder sugar covered Chocolate Bourbon Balls!

For more Gavle Goat history including mini goats, double goats, helicopter airlift kidnappings, and more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gävle_goat

I stand with Ukraine.

12 days of christmas by gg allin?

Sweet!

Oh Australia

@Liz Bustamante...Jon can confirm but I believe the "#ReindeerUnion" sign is Jon's daughter's contribution to the livestream dressing.

Hey team, what movie should we watch with the 11 and 14 year old kids? Home Alone 2? Moonstruck? Marcel the shell with shoes on? (Don’t worry we are on the West Ciast, it’s not that late)

Correct.

Why not watch Scrooged?

RAMBO

Scrooged!!

Coast

Hi Debra!

Young Frankenstein?

@ Debra..pee wee Herman’s big Adventure

Catholic Gelt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QhD2oj7H3I&t=12s

Old enough that Large Marge won’t scare them

Hi debra - Never Cry Wolf, directed by Caroll Ballard. used to reccomend all the time when i worked at the video store!

Thx for the inclusion, Jon. Chag Sameach! (happy holiday in jew) :-)

Hi Maura!

@ Debra: Never Cry Wolf gets a second vote from me also...

Zapptastic!

We went to a high school production of Young Frankenstein a few years back that blew us all away

Yay chaki

Oh Jon knows from Chag sameach

I like this production's "Life In A Northern Town" vibes

Woooo this Tobias track...yeah...

Make your kids answer 20-25 MOVIE TRIVIA cards correctly first to prove they are true cinephiles first.

Or just make them sing Michael Bolton's parts in "Jack Sparrow"

I'd lovet ohear Eugene Mirman actually sing this

this song....so true

Tales of being raised Jewish: in 2nd grade my brother told all his friends that Santa wasn’t real and their parents got so mad.

Their parents called my folks to have a talk.

I honestly luv to lie fr af rn

But, if you're lying when you say that.....

😇

Oh Damn you Bet!

Great cover/inspiration!!!

My kid watched Jurassic Park at 11 on Christmas because the library ran out of available Christmas movies and it's been his favorite "Christmas

movie ever since

Agreed Bob!

nothing says christmas like raptors!

Alana why your kid is old enough promise me you'll introduce them to the Jurassic Park Twitter account.

*when

He's 25 now and was going to watch it last night but it's been a long retail season. He probably watched it today.

🦕🎄🦖

Oh he knows. Although mostly he stays off Twitter because I have an account, like I stay off Tumblr because he has an account. We give each other internet space.

Oh my heart! This Low cover!

LOW 💔❤️‍🩹❤️♥️❤️‍🔥

it's a really nice cover

One year we got my younger brother a 5 foot tall white styrofoam T-Rex. On Christmas day when my grandmother was over she near fell over when she first saw it in the corner of the room...

YAY! The Lentils!!!

What a great version

Thinking of Mimi Parker as we near Christmas at midnight.

@CB I confronted my teacher and told the whole 2nd grade class that santa wasn't real because that very morning my mom told me it was ALL pretend (easter bunny, santa and tooth fairy) but neglected to tell me that some of my friends and classmates might not know yet and that I should keep this new knowledge to myself

This is great. Pardon my napping.

Richard, that Lentils spin on Jonathan Richman was next level.

6/25

I put my teacher in an awkward position shouting: MY MOM TOLD ME AND SHE WOULD NEVER LIE TO ME

These are incredible stories.

i dig the snow field recording sounds

My dog is FREAKING out

Sebastian, haha yeah.

@ Sebastian: Soylent Green is People!!

@Alan---- noooooooo

@Alan spoilers!

this somehow sounds like a lost Blur track circa 1997

Loving Ukrainian Santa Claus!

@Sebastian Woo! Hoo!

Petsu is right. This has big mid-to-late '90s teensploitation vibes.

Svatayah Mukolai = St. Claus

my wife's family is ukrainian - she loves this! she was translating for me. I'll have to hit you up after the show for the link

The end of that last song reminded me of what you closed with 2 years ago. It was 25 minutes long.

That was a banger

@Liz definitely "woo hoo!"

At least y'all were kids. I told my kid I'd never lie to him, so when he asked (around...six? seven?), I told him the truth, told him not to ruin it for anyone else, but by the time they were ten, I said something to a mom at an event and she looked around for her kid like I'd said SATAN LIVES. She still told her fifth grader Santa was real, and believed that kid believed it, and I was the jerk who might destroy her precious angel's belief.

CB i had that same thought!

Doozhe Dobreh!

It was a class of five kids. They'd all worked it out years before. But that mom never forgave me even though no kids overheard me.

Measly Nogs all around!

Yeah Cookie!!!! <3 <3 <3

Wait it was 3 or 4 years ago. I’m looking for the song now. Jon told me what it was last year but I’ve lost it

Just finished virtual church with my folks and am officially released from my child-ly duties and am FULLY HERE!

BTW, The whole Lentils discography is $21 on Bandcamp

@Alana, angel's happen. I don't know why. The Seriphs say so and I tend to agree.

@bravedelay howdy!

fyi there seems to be no PRB djs on Mastodon but the wprb hashtag is going on there

Sebastian! Love to hear your holiday tracks!

Thank you Jim. I know Edith is holding it down on Mastadon. Believe ML has a Mastadon.

wprbxmas hashtag i mean

Yes indeed. Thank you!

Yay Sebastian!

@Jim Haku, I looked and found not. Hmmm...

Maria T is on there but it's not in her bio

Almost time to hit up Midnight Mass! As I do every year, I plan on crashing in through the roof of the church like Michael Douglas at the end of The Game. Then I’m going to genuflect in front of the stunned congregation while sparks shoot of my robo-eyes & robo-ears & Steeleye Span’s “Gaudete” blasts from speakers embedded in my chest.

I wonder if it is server spicific. Dunno.

I'm @edithfrost@ravenation.club on mastodon

Wowee

https://sebastianpetsu.bandcamp.com/track/the-25th-kick-down

@rofflestomp When I search wprb on there I only get the wprbxmas hashtag

nicely done, sebastian

if he's here

Maria T (hope you don't mind, Maria) is @thisissmariat@spaceballs.masto.host

I dig the stylophone-style riffing Sebastian! or is that an EWI-type wind device?

@Jon Solob0t Dude! I really like The Game!

thanks @Pat @Maura and @Jon

Maybe the server makes a difference

I will need a Mastadon tutorial at another juncture. The server thing has put me off to this point.

It really doesn't unless its a server run by nazis or somethin

Sounds a bit like Calvin Johnson harmonizing

@Brendan I haven't watched it in a while so I don't know if it still holds up. But I really liked it the first time I watched it!

@George thanks! you might be hearing the Casio PT-82 i don't think it sounds like an EWI but Marshall Allen I think uses the same Casio on stage along with his wind instruments fwiw

@Jim Haku, Thanks Jim. I wander around the internet, I think I know what I am doing, but I have less of a clue every day.

Nice job Sebastian Petsu!

Please count the number of "time" times in this track.

4/4

(sorry that last thing I said made no sense, I need coffee & to be scrolling further back)

I can imagine your hand gets sore after ringing the jingle bells for so long between songs

A reference to The Game feels like a gift

I switch hands each mic break.

🥃

I agree Alana! I also wish more parishes shared your gratitude.

digging this vibe - christmas time

Maybe you need to spray paint Christmas lyrics while blasting White Rabbit

Run On!!!!!

236,000 times

Maybe THAT's what my house is missing

I always wonder if Rick saved the autograph when he got the cast off.

ding, ding, ding! Dan got it 😁

Aw, this version with Katie's violin is beautiful.

KATIE’s Violin 🎻💝

I'm silently yet respectfully enjoying the selections, Jon.

Now HERE's a Christmas song I can relate to!

Happy Days to you, TAndy!

3 mins to the fat man in the red suit considers sliding down your chimney!

You too MrMerrychristmas!

I'm sliding down my own chimney?

Crankin out the hits!

I'm so tired I heard "simple cider." I don't really drink so I figured it was, you know, some sort of booze.

https://isitchristmas.com/

HeyOoo Ambrose Hughes! Merry Christmas!

could Santa create a chimney so festive that he himself could not slide down it?

7/25

I saw that page flip to yes!

AAAAGH HES HERE

Merry Christmas.

Today! Horray!

Merry Christmas!!

Torch the GOAT! 🔥

Merry Christmas Mr.M💀

Santa has gone green, so instead of giving me coal he's giving me sunburn.

BAMMY CLAMMAS!!!!!!

Merry Xmas!

YES! MIDNIGHT!

Happy Birthday, JESUS!

happy happy joy joy! so tired right now....

Same here DJ tenderloin

way past my bedtime!

Merry Christmas all!

First hurdle, crossed! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas WPRB peeps!🎄🎅🍻🍸🍹

My fave story!

It's here.. Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas wprb community. You’ve been and always will me the best.

@DJ Tenderloin, Beds are burning.

Happy Holidays!! 💟☮️💟

Congrats Jon👏

The goat remains standing ...

Keep on truckin’ DJ JonSolomon!!

RIP Terry Hall co-writer of this song that gave too much fun

https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/bandmate-leads-tributes-coventry-music-25794168

My imaginary punk band are called the Stocking Berks🤣

Wow I had no idea terry hall co-wrote our lips are sealed

Think I missed the beginning of this story every time

Sunday begins...! 🎉

@Jason, Amen.

Merry Christmas, all!

Christine is up way early! :)

Oh damn! It's Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Christine!

@Christine, Good morning and Merry Christmas!

Happy Christmas! 🎄💀🎁

Hey Roffle!

Hey Bo!

Take it back Dave

Joy to all

I always remember this story vividly.

DON'T CALL ME I'LL CALL YOU OK

CHRISTINE 🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚

@edith Hahaha!

BAM to you, Chef! 🍳

such a good story

Why do I hear fireworks

@chef oh yeah babe!

http://isitchristmas.com

oh shit it's the chef

Will this be the year I wake up early enough to hear Snaildartha in full for the first time in I don't know how long? (Definitely several years)

cookin' up something marvelous

Happy Eve, Garth!

When is snaildartha?

Da Chef! Cookin' with love.

Princess Jamidala

Snaildartha is like 9 or 10 tomorrow I believe

I would expect Snaildartha around that window, yes.

Playlist and chat get wonky after 6-7 hours. Maybe four playlists/chats next year????

That was a serious pedal steel solo

haha "labor pain"

Oh sweet I should be awake

He'd make a good Conway Twitty impersonator.

How do you mean wonky Malcontent?

When I lived in the northwest snails were everywhere, I don't see them here.

Wonky how so? Holding up OK on this end.

Slow to scroll. Maybe from California?? L0LZ

I've noticed on my phone the page does slow down at times, and chat messages sometimes come in as a flood or not at all and I have to refresh

I think we're too hot for spinitron to handle lol

Yeah, I've noticed that, too

Interesting. I'm on a laptop and no issues like in years gone by where I did see a slow b/c I pre-loaded so many tracks as pending.

@tandy I think I recall a similar thing last year, fine so far though

No contributions from Cape Cod's premier blorp jazz collective this year, alas. But psyched for 12:34!

I didn't notice the issue at all when I was using my laptop, I think it's just a phone ting

My cleaning progress has been derailed by trying to find that really long song Jon ended with a few years ago. He told me what it was last year. I even played for someone in the Summer. But now, it’s gone.

I think this where I'm robotically obligated to make a joke about Spinitron rewriting everything in Rust.

Nah, it does do that on my laptop some, too, TAndy

Thanks for the confirmation! I stick by my suggestion of more playlists/chats. #1SpinitronInfluencer

If you don't mind me asking, what browser are you using TAndy and Dan?

Mr M, main drawback is a lot more data entry on this end but worth considering!

I get a fax for every chat message and the machine definitely runs a lil warm after a while

Firefox on Mac, Solob0t

Suffering from PTSD flashbacks from the Tina Rizzle Christmas "song." Dear God that was brutal.

I'm using Vivaldi for Android. Also noticed it on Chrome for Android. Firefox on my laptop had no probs.

💜 Poly Styrene

TIna Rizzle DOES NOT STOP!

*dot matrix printer sound*

(Vivaldi is Chromium/Opera based)

CAN COOK CHRISTMAS GUMBO ON IT BAM

I'm getting too sleep right now, gotta persist.

Interesting TAndy & Dan. I'm gonna tuck that info away for a rainy 010101 day.

Not Christmas related but relevant and funny:https://youtu.be/kD6KiUfWY1U

It's going fine right now. But there have been some moments of chat lag

Ramones o clock very soon

@TAndy, sleeping is a dream you are having.

Nice to hear Poly Styrene❤

Mr. M, do you mean a new one every 6ish hours?

RIP

Omg I found it

Yoko needs no apologies.

Kevin Shea ‘it’s Christmas time today’ lol ✌️

I always try to stay up all night, but end up in bed with an AirPod in one ear. I often wake up wondering if I slept through myself

@Rofflestomp😂🤣

I can imagine, DJ JonSolomon! Only want to be helpful! Cheers!

Everyone in the world should apologize to Yoko. Always. #womanpower 😊

Opening a bottle of Brooklyn Black Chocol.

Yes, Richard Lyons!

makes sense

Chocolate stout to celebrate being awake for Ramones o clock

@carlos Brooklyn always makes good stuff.

A few cans of black ops also in fridge

Glad you made it Brendan

I only type the truth. Except when I lie.

Smashed Santa

Hahaha kick out the jams mother ****er

this isn't kosher, but it's hilarious!

I suggest NORAD recalibrate their Atomic Clock to Ramones O'Clock every year.

❄🌟🌲🔥

@Christine, Billy Bob Thornton?

@Edith Frost, that was the issue with my ex.

The kosher version would be "kick out the hams"

MC25

@Bo, there you go! 🎅🥃

@Dan, haha

Oh my, that was even better than I had imagined!!

Well played, DJ Tenderloin.

Jen! Hello!

Hi friend! I’ve been puttering but also listening!

Got to hear the Commie NMN cover and didn’t think that could be beat, but whoa MC5

Awesome.

❤️❤️🎄❤️❤️

What is decking the halls?? What does that actually mean?

Herbie wants to be a dentist. That's cool...leave him alone!

@Ethan Don't do it, you'll break your hand

@Ethan, decorating.

Test your might!

I only hope Herbie doesn't use those mallets he uses to make toys on anyone's teeth.

we did it!!

HEY! HO!!

!!!!!!

Merry Christmas everybody

R A M O N E S ! ! !

Jen letting the sun rise on another part of the world. Good morning!

Ahh that makes sense, I thought it might be that, but thought because the spelling is deck not just dec I don't know

%$#&

Now its Christmas!

Muy bien!!!

Ra Mones!

Woooooooooooo!

Carlos time

WOOOOOOO!

made it! there may be a surprise for me? if not then tomorrow....

Hear 'em in dem ears!

A Spiderman Homecoming Christmas

Tomorrow, @Tenderloin!

Peace on Earth. Goodwill to DJs.

Made it to Ramones o'clock w/o any 12 Days versions so far

I love December 23rd

copy that boss! thx

Little concerned abt 12 Days bunching tbh

All 12 Days set

December 23rd pops in my head whenever it's December 23rd

The 12 Days songs are toughest on the fam, they don't say anything but they don't have to

that ramones ID was pretty cool

@Jim Haku, if history serves, this is but one of two. Last year being the gold standard.

All right y'all, time to call it a night. I'll be back for Snaildartha, etc, in the morning

Sleep well, Dan! Merry WPRBXmas.

See ya, Dan!

Night Dan!

goodnight Dan

Sleep well and wake joyful Dan!

Holiday Cheers to DJ DanRuccia! Still smiling from your swell show on Friday!

I have a tech support question! Does anyone use the new Apple "Music" program and if so how the h*ck do you search your own library in it?!

when i was 16 i skipped school, got on a bus, went to NYC, went to times square and bought a really bad fake ID (that said I was 18 - you could drink in DC at 18 then). That ID got me in to see the Ramones at the Bayou. I still have that ID - it's in my wallet right now. Merry Xmas!

G'night Dan!

Any attempts to search look at Apple Music not my own collection.

JonSolomon eating half a yam?!?

This time last year I was eating dinner with my cousins in Hawaii and listening to Ramones O'Clock live, at 6:34 Hawaii Time!

Baby carrots.

Stepping off from any Apple thingy. Lots of there.

Jon there's a tab for library

ok re: search - there should be a tab in upper left hand corner to switch from apple music to your library

Ha! 🥕🥕🥕🥕

right hand corner - so friggin tired

when you search you choose Apple Music or library (at least on mine)

DJ Tenderloin, fun story!

I have "Library" and "iTunes Store" to choose from on the left side

I click "Songs" from Library but no dice.

(well I didn't look - what the others said)

OK move over. Lemme look.

heheh

Man, this old man can whistle

I think I finally got it. The search when you search ain't so hot but at least now I can find a few things.

thx Mr. M - Jon, you figured it out?

cool

Borrowed laptop from a family member to have a dedicated streaming device and they updated to Music.

Some really wildly counterintuitive parts of it but yet not as bad as I had feared!

xmas marathon is no time for updates! :)

I tested it yesterday and the day before but had never searched until tonight!

Thanks, all. I can search my laptop if needed.

check check one two one two who am I signed in as?

I prefer peaches to Apples , but preference rules.

Mr. Mike!

Peach cobbler > apple cobbler

This song makes me LOL

Cobbled together for sure.

Blueberry.

Awww, raspberry!

My phone updated just as I was about to take a pic on the sunset and I just had to sit and watch the sun set

Sorry I missed Dan!

I was furious

Worthy for sure Ambrose and -ᎷяM!

This set is so egregious. I love it 🤭

Is there a Dee Dee King Xmas song?

This is delightful.

The hits just keep coming!

@Mr.M💀seedy though good, my first job was picking raspberries ...I ate most of them😉

Will this also happen in 12 hours as per last year?

It's a Christmas miracle that I can listen so far away from Central NJ, but it just ain't the same as tuning in with a transistor radio under the covers. Happy Ramones O Clock everybody!

Roffle, it will happen at 12:34 AM and PM this year for the first time ever!

Happy Ramones O'clock, Michael!

I thought you did it last year

Thanks boss!

Misfits yes, Ramones never!

Only one with more hits than the Ramones is Pete Rose

I stand corrected

2nd verse, same as the 1st

I do remember last year though. It was a thing..

Ok sleepy time I'm fading. Good night veeyine and c hshe3

ok all - it's 1pm and this elf needs to hit it - merry ramonesmis to everybody - Jon Solomon, you are a prince among men! and to all a goodnight....

Merry Ramonesmas!

I am but a mirror!

see you bright and early tomorrow!

I don't like to contradict the host before he's played my song

Thx for the hits, DJ Tendy

Sweet dreams, Tenderloin.

Merry Christmas, I Don't Want to Fight Tonight (with Santa)

My wife is a bit of a newbie to the Marathon. It's like when the Christmas magic is renewed when you first have kids.

Oh yea, 8/25 BTW.

Somebody Put Something In My Chimney

"How does he stay up for 25 hours?" Nobody knows, Sweetie.

Alright folks. I have to sleep. I will see everyone in the morning. Enjoy!

Kosher coffee. :)

Cheers, DJ Tenderloin 🥩

Magic dust?

G'night, TAndy

"How are there so many Ramones themed Christmas songs?" Years and years of tradition, Baby.

Good on ya, Brendan!

I will crush & snort some NoDoz

@Brendan, sleep well Brendan..

If y’all usually stick to a standard sleep schedule, you’d be wise to not mess with it. 😴💤💤💤💤💤

G'night, Brendan

You can konk out if you do too much caffeine at once, it's better to space it out, like 12 Days versions.

Now she's looking through the playlist and wants to hear the Lucy Wainwright Roche bit with Eugene Mirman

TAndy is the sleep king!

She liked the name Angry Snowmans before I even explained it to her.

Oh that was joyous!😍

Brendan, I never truly believe you’re going to sleep. 😛. See ya later ✌️

Standing ovation for Jon!!

Don't Want Coal was my fave of that set

I had had headphones on, but "Eat Christmas Hams" made me laugh so hard I woke her up.

a e dub a e dub

I like the Ramones, I said it.

Keep toiling!

@Mr Mike, funny if you say it backwards it almost sounds the same🤔

Maura! Merry Christmas!

🎁

The banner in the background really is pretty nice.

Did you get a Big Tree yet?

Toil, then the grave

Jon my boyfriend wants to come over to tape & float that ceiling

A really thoughtful and fun idea, Jon. Your sister is tops!

Hi Mr Mike!

THIS

Movie trivia was fun. Any more?

@Mr Mike, I was just chilling and nodded off and got a wake up tune. lol

Tape and float the ceiling?

He fixes cracks? (that's what she said)

Roll tape!

🎄🎅🏽☃️

the later it gets the less sense I will make

Ah. Gotcha. Please, improve our home with home improvements!

JKS just got a good laugh out of her.

🎄💥🥊

Float is kind of like a spatula thingie..

I love punching the Christmas tree in the face

Had some egg nog with some grated nutmeg yesterday; did not punch any Christmas trees.

Monkey vs Robot vs Xmas Tree

YES

I wonder if I can keep the thematic sets and new finds going all the way until Snaildartha....

OK, this beats all, pun intended.

@jon

Any songs about "Grinching" yet?

What time will we have Snaildartha?

Around 9-10 am, roughly.

Thank you! Looking forward to it!

Merry Fistmas

Pine needles got me though🤣

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10309339/Mother-paid-85-Grinch-visit-son-complains-home-trashed.html

I wonder how many new pieces Jon will get in 2024 entitled “All the Way to Snaildartha”?

Ha. Blaise, your first piece is up next break. Let me know what you would like me to link to...

Those piney trees will burn your house down. Punch them not.

Mr Mike I have to steal that to toot on mastodon ok, that is... something

@MrMike...somehow I am not surprised that happened in Ulster.

And all the way through Little Drummer Boy

The kid clearly had a blast

@Rofflestomp, I'm a higher not a puncher🎄❤

Does James Kochalka still draw his American Elf diary? My hoopla app only shows them to 2012.

*hugger*

Bless Hoopla and Hoopla users

@Mr Mike, not giving up the ghost until Little Drummer Boy for sure.

Tree hugger > tree puncher

@Mr Mike Paid for the grinch, got the grinch

@Christine✌

☮️

@Ambrose, thank you. I love to trust in things. Punch on up!

Don't know Jay McCarrol but he sounds like Sloan and turns out yup he's Canadian

2012 was the last year, according to the publisher

Setception

It's an agreement.

Mommy...Can I go out and GRINCH TONIGHT

Thanks, Jon! No link just yet. Only here and now at the moment.

🐻‍❄✨️

There ya go Santa Jim! Let's get it on tape for the afternoon Misfits O Clock!

This is putting some pep in my step.

Geez Blaise Moritz, you just decribed my whole life. Cool.

Right on Rofflestomp

Thank you!

Jon, did you do any Ayler Christmas earlier?

Mr Mike! Ayler, yes! And maybe some mars Williams!

Not yet, I wanted to play something from the Ayler Xmas with Jaimie Branch though.

jaimie branch!! Yes. (Rip)

Love that stuff and thank you for turning me on to it.

The absolute best. Her music I can listen to all the time though in a way I can't with Low yet....

Yes made it for Misfits o clock! Escaped the family just in time!

Slight bit of advance warning while I think of it that this playlist will switch to a new playlist at 5:00 am ET. You will simply need to refresh to join us again.

So glad I got to see her last spring.

C.H.A.K.I. hello! Your tune sounded great.

Copy that.

Thanks for the heads up, Jon.

CB if it was the same show I stayed home and I deeply regret that now.

Thank you!

This is basically Coco Rosie

Jon, it was at the Ruba

Ha.

I remember Christmas Eve 💀

Same as last year.

Yep. Might have had a reason not to go but I have long since forgotten it.

Droooooooooooony

Warburton-y

She was excellent. I figured it was my first of many time I would see her perform. 💔

Wife is snoozling back to sleep. Gonna put the headphones back on and close the laptop. Gotta try not to wake her up with my laughter. Talk to you later!

In the past few years I've probably listened to more Misfits-inspired Christmas songs than the actual Misfits

I've been saying this for years but the unchecked expansion of Ramones and Misfits O Clock still blows my mind.

Same, Fish! I usually sing the Xmas version along when one comes on.

It's almost 2023 and there's still no emoji of the crimson skull with a Santa hat this is ridiculous

Unfair.

Something cool jaimie did live was slide her sneakers along the stage floor to create a cool percussive effect. She was so awesome.

Agreed Chaki! Oh hey Fish!

Looking at the Angry Snowmans' discography and this show somehow only scratches the surface

Jon, thank you for doing this. Misfits o'clock brings me so much joy!

I wish they would record some new gems. They reworked The Minutemen and Avengers to great delight last time.

Jessica, it is my distinct dumb pleasure.

House project update: going to reupholster a chair around 3 or 4am.

CB, I did a full show of her music after she passed. Check my site for the archive.

@Alana --- Patrick Warburton, the star of the movie version of Charles Willeford's 1960 novel "The Woman Chaser"?

Yes

Here is the show for another night - http://keepingscoreathome.com/?p=4918

The little Drummer Boy has yet to drum? Confucius sets in. Deep and going there. lol

Never heard Lights Up on the show I don't think. Ebeneezer Uber Alles? Wow.

Lights Up I've played for sure. But so short easy to miss!

I almost think of them as created for this show but they are really committed to the bit.

Like-minded heroes.

Cool, jon. Will check it out. I did a feature on my show at WRTI that week too.

20 eyes one of my favorite misfits songs

@CB. what fabric, I was an upholstered in the past?

January 18 will mark the anniversary of Charlie Brown voice actor Peter Robbins' suicide.

*upholsterer*

Ambrose, I don’t know. It’s kind of a leather type material? With and adhesive back. Some cheap crap solution for a barber shop chair I trash picked years ago. Perhaps, “reupholster” isn’t the correct term. More like a cover up

Haven't been in the chat but we're here and eagerly tuned in, Jon

Great to have you listening, TB!

I really hate quiters Dave. Just sayin'

@CB, Prather? Warm leatherette?😄

*pleather* OMG, Spell correct sucks!

It hurts, but that's the contract.

1 hour to Christmas on the west side 🎅🏽

Ambrose 😆

We'll get you there, Richard.

@richard, Merry merry, happy happy!

Happy merry!!!!!

you have exxperience

omg MITZVAHS

@CB, Some of those chairs are much sought after!

The misfits sounds so much better with bells. That's why Samhain is so awesome

Love the church bell bass line from Hybrid Presents!

I think I now exist in the shadow realm of liminal space between RAMONES-O-CLOCK and the ALL-MISIFITS SET.

this is epic.

9/25

I believe the AM and PM Misfits sets are flipped each year so ideally there's something new each time out.

613 mitzvot is just short of a good time CB.

Where's (generally) everyone tuning in from this Christmas?

It was the bowl of jelly for me

Philly, no shame

Ambler tonight Jon

Philly here too

North Philly

Austin

Forest Grove/Portland, OR 🎄🎄

Orono ME in the house!

Pipersville. PA.

Right on. Good cross-section. Imagine the UK/EU listeners will be logging on shortly....

I'm just near Princeton, in Plainsboro!

Philly represented here!

Gonna pogo, whose with me ?

Doin it on a trampoline

I shoulda used more words 😆

Not like you Mr.M💀🤔

Listening from Portland. Hi, Jon!

Do I have a color-coded Misfits sets spreadsheet? You bet your bippy (whatever that is).

So the songs on the player have not been as accurate as they were at first. It says you're playing Joy Division right now. Do I just stop and re-start to see the correct titles?

This good soul is shared so good across the planet.. So glad to be here. Thank you all.

Uh. Hmmm. Let me investigate.

@Liz are you at http://listen.wprb.com?

It just started working again. I touched nothing.

Excuse me?! Not MyBippy!

I see what's happening. Will fix!

I was on the radiorethink link that I clicked from the wprb home page. I can switch over.

No, someone set up a conflicting playlist.

No reds, no pops. This is fine on the stream.

@Jon, conjuring thoughts of Gene Vincent with "bippy".

Just chiming in to say I’m listening from San Francisco

Which movie did you chose, DebraS???

Love this part. Mischrismisfitsmas

Working on fixing the playlist, should be good in a sec

We watched Don’t Mess with the Zohan! Enjoyable, only a few jokes that did not age well…

A snail is a great idea

This gift list needs to go on the JonSolomon website! Gift #10: Play-Doh❣️

How did the Israeli in your household enjoy it?

They pretend.

Z o h a n!!!

@Liz the "problem" will also self-correct at 3:00 am ET when the errand show ends.

Happy Holidays, DebraS! ❄️☃️

I believe the correct currently airing track should be displaying now - there was some conflict with a different playlist

Thanks, CJ!

I went to clean it up and someone beat me to it...

Don't mess👞

Thanks, CJ!!

Glad to help! Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!

Cheers to DJ CJ! Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas CJ!👍

Headed to bed -- thanks for the music; good luck with the next shift! Back ~11 am.

Woof 🥲

DANG!

I miss my dog. Last year she pulled the ham off the stove :)

We are working into the realm of what the fuck happened to Isebir. Little drummer Boy is so lost in the sauce! Confusion sets in.

Cheers to Michael T. Fournier! 😴💤💤

Merry WPRBXmas, everyone!

Hey hey William.

@richard 😱😂🤣

I've been listening nonstop since 5pm, but I don't think I'm gonna make it through the whole night this year.

Arf! Woof! @RichardLyons 💔❤️

William, only one of us *needs* to do that. I understand.

I will say, overnight is loaded with gems though...

😊

This is over night.

Happy happy!!!

Every time is somebody's overnight.

True

Does over night imply the existence of under day?

These are the things I'm programmed to think about at 2:50 in the morning on WPRBXmas.

ooh KV

It's almost 5 O'Clock somewhere!🍻🎅

This backing track has serious The Radio Dept energy.

This one almost slipped past me, found it last minute. Glad I did.

Pretty

This is so good!

I'm into the "Kurt Vile has his kids on tracks now" era.

That's incredibly sweet!

I remember when Kurt would play my high school coffeehouse as Kurtisy. I’ve the tape cassette still

That's a good thing, great stuff.

I’ve *got

I don't do a phone any more. I don't twitter, or any thing like that insane shit. Madness. Life is just fine without.

@CB👀

This is bad ass!

Merry Christmas from the west coast everyone 🎄☃️🎇

It's officially Christmas over here! Merry Christmas!

YAY!

10 hours in. Way to go, west coast!

#reindeer union

I love this so much

Merry Christmas "over yonder"!

skibbety bop dop da

Way to go Jon! 10/25!

Found a bunch of digitized Xmas 12"s this past week. So good.

Edith! 😆

ALVIN!

I was sent video of a friend attempting "Jingle Rock Bell" at karaoke. Highest honor.

Santa was HERE! 🎁🎁🎄🎁🎁 😎 he likes the weather so much though he won’t Leave!! #WestSiiidddeee ☀️🎅🕶

ha! Merry Christmas, MR.M!!!!

@Jon, next year you do 30 hour's I suppose?

I just got in from hanging out with Dana at the hospital. She's doing better? Alright? But they are keeping her overnight to make sure everything stays that way.

DJ JonSolomon, thanks for making the Holidays HAPPY! Big cheers to you! 📻🎵🎶🎁☃️

Thank you for being there for her, Yoni.

oh shoot!

best to Dana K!!!!

Ugh yoni

Thanks, Richard Lyons! Merry Christmas! 🎄☃️

I'm sure she'll be in the chat in the morning. She says hi!

Give her a hug for me yoni!

btw yoni sorry for bad timing but every time I see your icon I see the cover of my 2nd album telescopic which also employs pinchey fingers in the same direction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_(album)

Perfect. It was taken on a beach in Pensacola.

Full disclosure Mom picked up the mangoes

Noted, DTS.

yoni from kdu, send our glad tidings for comfort and joy to DJ Dana K! And from me add… get back here quick for PURE MOODS and lots of PewPewPews! 💕💓💕 📢📢📢 🖤💀

Cheers to Neal!

Calling "Mom Picked Up The Mangoes" for the title of my first B-side.

Lol

L0LZ

@Mr.M💀is Air Mack related to you?

@Ambrose I'm not sure I'd do a 30 hour show again. In theory, next year the kid is supposed to take over for me since she will be the age I was when this started!

Caffeine for my ears this ...just in time!

Ah, the sounds of Christmas

I hear a celeste in there

🏄‍♀️

This will get Xmas-y I assure you.

This will get Xmas-y I assure you!

@Jon, Ahhh, passing the baton, fantastic!

I don't think she's ready yet / she really don't think she is ready yet but perhaps she'll program an hour.

@Jon, she has a whole year to practice.

Nothing like a ticking clock!

She and I will discuss on-air eventually.

...Silent Night in this spaghetti

oh dad

This is the best thing I've ever heard

Christmas at the Cubist Castle!

Jimi Hendrix just rolled in his grave!

He died?!

Edith, a Celeste, really!? I missed it but good call

omg I was only bs'ing

Shusssh!👀

I played something like this when I used to the overnights and a listener called to complain and said it sounded like “a dyslexic computer.” I took it as a very creative compliment.

Edith 😛 lol

I promised a journey!

🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️

I hear shards of glass, which is similar

@CB, that reminds me of a joke

Ambrose 👂

I forgot about one unexpected home broadcast side effect: static charges from walking on the carpet to the computer!

I'm for real digging this. There's a lot going on and it's all fun.

This sounds like what my insides feel like.

Neal is the best! He had one Xmas idea I hope happens for next year that's not a The Fall album or a dense noisy tribute Silent Night. I really hope it happens!

@Jon, not wearing your Doc Martens eh?

@CB, Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic insomniacs?

*insomniac*

You mean me? Cuz that’s me

But no, what?

I want to point out that I have a Christmasey name

Sure do!

Haha ❄️ 👑

Ambrose really leavin me hangin

I want to be on this game show

Christmas cheer all thru the year

I'd watch a show with this in the opening credits. Absolutely.

@CB. He stayed awake all night wondering if there really was a god.

That’s *dog to us dyslexics

I hear a celeste in there

EDITH 😂

Edith, this is one quality recurring bit.

getting pret-ty punchy

@CB, you caught that👏

Awful quiet in here

I’m praying to dog

I'm here! Trying to figure out why my right knee hurts a surprising amount but here!

McSweden has a voodoo doll?? 🪡

stretch yer calves?

I was trying to scroll to find the post from the hospital to look up the ailment I didn’t recognize

I've been stretching off-camera and trying not to sit too still.

But right now sitting helps.

@Jon, it can't be from the lack of running surely?

Ambrose, no running in the past two weeks unfortunately.

AirMack pic 💀👻🤑

I believe when you've been up for too long your body starts to turn against ya. This could be some of that.

The Moon is right!

You have no idea how right you are about to be, @Solob0t.

Twelfth hour wealfth hour

Who is posting as the b0t?!? I thought it was DJ!

It is not me. That's all I should probably say.

Hmmmm.

kayfabe

It is not my st0ry to t3ll.

OK Jon, maybe stand for the next 10 hours and see if that helps🤔

On both legs or just the bad one?

Storm like🤣

Whoa. Overnight playlist❣️

*stork* freaking spell check I swear to god!😡

Bellz 2 bellz!

fantastic

Dental plan

Dozen hours

No Simpsons fans in the chat? Oh well...

Lisa needs braces

I wanna see if I can stay up for the whole show this year (my 10th year). In solidarity?

This art is quite good!

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3622678342_16.jpg

Everything's coming up Thrillhouse

Repeat: No dragons are coming out of tornadoes.

These children scare me

This sounds a lot like our family gathering about 14 hours ago

I’m in pain too, Jon. Solidarity all around.

I think the Advil helped.

Feel better, CB.

I’m about to call on Ms. Advil

Wasn't this what was playing in the background when Martin Sheen killed Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now?

Does work wonders at the right time. I suspect dawn and the heat kicking on around then will help too.

No spoilers!

Is Apocalypse Now a Christmas movie?

Oh Buttttt YESSSS

Ahhh up at 4am listening :) time for coffee

@Jon, I noticed a break in transmission every once in a while, like 2 seconds ...just happened again.

How often would you say?

Same. I thought it was WestSiiidddeee EnterWebs

same! I thought it was my phone

it's happened maybe 4 times over the past like half hour?

Once an hour. For three hours. Normal for three hours. Intermittent.

just for a sec or two

Ok. I have hopefully slowed the issue.

Frosty knows

This kids are great

These

I blame the frigid temps

I suspect there's a bit of strain on the laptop to push audio for 25 straight hours, did look at program that does this and I had 4-5 alerts to dismiss.

I thought it was Jon walking on his carpet

Not impossible that could jolt it. Seriously!

This is defo apocalyptic now-y

Even the jungle wanted him jolly.

I think it was Krampus. Sooooo Jealous!

The gods want me to nap again. If the little boy is dead, so be it.

Tap out, Rofflestomp

Drum in heaven.

What’s the name of the electric Gremlin? That’s Jon.

😱👀Roffle

Isn’t there a solution for the static?? Rub dryer sheet on your person/clothes? 🤷‍♀️

Merry Christmas friends

Merry Christmas, Dan!

Hey there, Dan.

Loved the Bonestorm song!

Mr. M I think "wear shoes" or "no socks" would work but also "is cold."

Awesome, Derek.

The Isebar might be extinct. So it goes.

can we use swear words in this chat

Merry Christmas, Dan Weis!

OH YES

Fuck Yeeaahh!

LOL ok, well shit

This is my favorite Christmas song!

Oh the moon is right

I'm dying laffing

That metal track was fucking gnarly!

Shit doesn't count.

I’ve seen solobot in past years. Very cordial bot !

It stinks tho, Bo

Why thank you, Dan.

this song is very wee hours

agreeed

Favorite wee hours albums...go!

Most bots seem to want to steal your bank account passwords, access your private keys to your crypto wallets or just plain jack up your PCs, Jon Solobot is not that. He’s a friend !

Alisha, good overnight to ya.

are u asking us for OUR faves or saying your'e playing yr faves

Is this Gary the Squirrel?

Oops I mean solobot

Sorry, Edith! To clarify, I was inviting everyone to share their fav wee hours albums.

Buzz buzz buzzzzz

Sorry, nodded off.

Welcome back. Here they come!

loren mazzacane Connors "in Brooklyn" I think it's called

Spot on, Dan. You might even say I'm a less creepy, more successful version of Small Wonder. But now I'm *really* dating my motherboard.

Jim how many hours did you log in?

THIS

DJ JonSolomon, don’t you have slippers?! You some kind of uncouth wildebeest!?! Well are YA?!

Spinitron.co you suck!

streamguys.com much better

I'd say my go to wee hours album is probably Long Beard's 2015 LP Sleepwalker.

I gave u the wrong album title probably but I don't wanna freak my laptop out by opening iTunes to figure it out. I mean Music. I guess it's Music now

You would say that wouldn't you.

Thank you all for this wonderful love. Good night. See ya later.

In PITTSburg.

I hate iTunes but I can’t avoid it

Edith...this Loren Mazzacane Connors did a collab with Davi Grubbs?

?? not that I'm aware on that one

it has Suzanne langille on the last couple of songs and is very ... calming

Perhaps there are slippers in one of these many bags!

I wasn't aware of it either: https://www.discogs.com/master/2048317-Loren-Connors-David-Grubbs-Arborvitae.

Open some stuff! Even if it ain’t your gift! 🎁📦👒

I feel like I knew about that at one time. David is a pal

I love Grubb's album Rickets & Scurvy. And, of course, Gastr Del Sol's Camoufleur. "Mouth Canyon" never fails to floor me, no matter how many times I hear it.

:-) team camofleur

There should be a Gary the Squirrel Xmas song if not full album.

If it's all new, then I am all in. Did not know. But I am a will full dope.

Like the singer on this
