Chat is archived.

Welcome over here now!

Happy Holidays!

You found your way!

(steps thru portal)

WELCOME

I've been resurrected

Big CHEERS to DJ JonSolomon! Enjoy every minute!

wait that's easter

Edith, I'm glad you said that because I was thinking the same thing.

Ha! What’s up, Doc?! Wait, that’s the wrong rabbit.

Although now I really would like to see a stained glass window depicting Jesus stepping through a portal.

Weneida more Oneida

I made it to the black lodge. Glad to be here.

Somebody pince me ..

is this... mormon

New Jersey public access special now a Numero Group cassette? What a world.

it's kinda Little Marcy

Did we lose CB in the transfer?

I assume Roffle was checking out for the night, could be wrong.

The moon is right the moon is right the moon is right the moon is right the moon is right the moon is right

I’m back

Jane Fondakkah, present

it was a little weird, finding the new thing

Ms. Fondakkah!

Got distracted by a friend convo and also tryna upholster this damn chair 😆

Totally fair on both fronts.

I thought Rofflestomp was gonna take a nap??

Roffle's penultimate words in the chat were "I love you Jon!" so I assume he transcended to pure light seconds later.

Haha

Giggles and Giggles

BERNARD SUMNER 💙

I saw Bernard and company at the Hollywood Bowl several months ago. A fine experience .

Everyone I know who went to that tour raved.

This song is amazing ! A song of song titles !

It is a clever delight.

It's 4:20 in Austin

2:20am Hollyweird

Isn't it always 4:20 in Austin?

Moment of silence!

yeah haha

Just my internet??

well we were having that issue earlier, like little dropouts? I haven't lately tho

If it just happened, it coincided with a CODEC alert in streaming program I dismissed.

Mine paused for two secs

Bet that was it.

At start of song?

That I do not know.

I'm all ??? I don't recall

That was when it happened for me

Cheers NERDS! L0LZ

I feel like mine were random times

Let’s hear Chewbacca this year!

OMG Jon I'm embarrassed I even said that because I totally meant like 1960's Baptist or something

It’s part of the official record, now.

I'm making this worse and worse for myself

Is it really Christmas morning already?!

Never! You’re winning the chat/airwaves shenanigans!! #GoEdithFrost!

Halfway ::sob::

The HALF!?! I’m cry

Keith I’m with you. The years seem to be blowing by.

SEASONS GREETINGS FROM HAMBURG, GERMANY!

Davvvvvvve!

DAVE

pounce hug

Happy Holidays from this Bah Humbug to Boy in Hamburg! 🙃🤪🥸😎

I visited Hamburg once. Great place :)

WestSiiidddeee!!

Moin EDITH!

REEPERBAHN!

i'm slowly turning my friends and neighbors on to this traditional Christmas Music Show.

I’m the perf amount of delirious for this track rn af fr

I have never been more awake and am no longer blinking

Coffee and Juxx Diamondz!

Merry Christmas ya filthy animal!

CELESTE

or something

😎

Tonight on Late Evening Jazz with Ms. Blue

I think we can go right from new stuff to the VU-inspired set to the Sabbath idea to Snaildartha and beyond!

Thanks for the revived expectations.You wonder ful you!

Roffle! You made it to the other side (of the playlist)!

I love few things in life Jon, but this is one of them.

WPRB is so on that list. Thanks for that.

Residential

You're very welcome.

Who knew some of The Swirlies recorded this in '95. Not I until this month!

This is a fitting soundtrack for me trying to upholster this damn chair right now.

🤡

The missus and I are trying upholstery too! GL!

I want this parade in New Orleans when I go.

hello again, all. I passed out for some hours but I'm back midway through what sounds like a flashback to my 8th-grade holiday band recital

I hoped someone might wake during this.

This just sounds very normal to me at this point

I don't have my kazoo

I think I hear a Celeste in there.

is playlist not refreshing or is it me

No, that was my error.

Try now.

We all survive on reindeer vibes.

sorry I'm very particular about my playlists

now THIS is something to wake up and get motivated to!

this is definitely a very special disco version

Jumping jacks, stat!

will try

the anti-lindstrom

@Edith yes! this is so tight and peppy

Sebastian! 👋

MrM is famous for “this playlist is not gonna update itself” 🖤💀 get it done, Edith Frost!

are we now in hour 13

@CB how is the upholstering going?

The playlist all night hasn’t been updating 4 me. I keep it open in a separate window and refresh it manually

Technically we have started hour 14.

Omg Sebastian it’s not going great lol

That’s how it “works”, CB !

I guess you're right? math

hey cb what I did was go to WPRB main page and click on "current playlist" in like that menu bar in the middle

aw, sorry to hear CB what a time to upholster. And Keith are YOU reupholstering too? Are there really TWO folks doing upholstry while listening tp WPRB Xmas at 6am?! I know we're a weird bunch, but still....

and yes, i realize everyone isn't on EST but still...

My kazoo is right here a considering a neighbor complaint.

also Jon, great to see that you're alive and well!

Edith, that’s what I did too but no dice. I think it’s my iPad. It’s not too much of an inconvenience

Sebastian haha. furniture jamz

Howdy party people and Jon! Just up to feed the cats. Time to take my traditional post-feeding nap, but I'll get to enjoy some music as I dream of sugar plums.

drag, cb

Paul Sa-KEE-vee

I awoke to the strains of disco drummer boy

😉

+13 Jon. You are so boss.

Got a good white elephant this year. Harry the Humping Hog, distributed by Spencer's Gifts

Like Wonderful Waterfuls? Those water games with the button you hit to get rings to float upward and onto spikes submerged in water? That’s what I’m picturing

Keith? an upholsterer AND a contributor to the marathon? what a renaissance character!

@DW "Humping Hog" by Spencer's Gifts? That sounds like a Jon Spencer song title!

Good morning!

Love your submariner wander Lizbot!

I awoke to bill playing this on our bandcamp and realized it was all clippy so i fixed it

Commie! LizBot! welcome back!

https://daskalteseis.bandcamp.com/track/santa

Nice.

good morning, Commie.

Congratulations on powering into hour 1️⃣4️⃣❗️

For some reason exporting the original file to a wav made the levels go kablooey

that black metal xmas right into this kids chorus thing was a great mindf**k back-to-back

How you doing Jon?

there it was again

Doing OK! Kinda cold.

yeah!

Ok. 99%+ sure it is related to the CODEC issue I get in Audio Hijack.

are we too persnickety?

It's unremarkable :)

THAT IS

A CELESTE

or celesta if you like

ask me about any instrument I'll tell ya if that's a celeste

but I hear vibraphone too

I guess vibes as a wake up tone is valid AF!

Thought this was terry hall at first

Quite a compliment.

Mornin’, Jon & all! Checking in after making sure Santa showed up overnight.

Edith it’s a kora

I have been pretty focused on the marathon, didn't get a chance to che.....who put all these boxes under our tree?!?!

another genius of a song. Good lord.

really?

Haha

like a mallet instrument?

This is so clean and 5x5. Wow, just wonderful.

you're fuckin with me

Sorry, mum 💯

Jon, sounds like Santa snuck in while you were busy. 🎁

I hope you were good Jon, if not watch out

It’s not Lindholm but I’ll take it.

Oh GROB. You lovable scamp.

He's the GROBbiest for sure.

Hi Roffle! Submariner Wander?! I am picturing a wandering hoagie now

I feel all GROBby now. I think this disco-y confection might be the antidote

feel like there should be an ALL disco hour at like 3-4am next marathon to reinvigorate us all

@Liz haha. there is no disco, only Grob

@Sebastian - Yeah, disco in the early AM is making me feel all optimistic

The disco breaks have helped my mood considerably.

Glad to hear it, Jon!

Not that I was down, don't get me wrong. Helped keep a consistent level of cheer going.

Don’t GROB us of this disco joy. I am now picturing The GROB to The Blob theme song

testing avatar change to Rudolph nose

@Liz Bot. I hope they are open to fulfill that. This day is a dice roll. Unless you have the skills. I'm not so good.

crap

Oooh, this song just keeps getting better

Yeah the random Disco jolts throughout the show have been beneficial

Disco is uplifting. 🪩 🛼

Edith I changed my fbook profile pic and that worked.

This is so clean from the stream for me. Perfection.

I changed gmail pic but don't have f'book. I think it's pulling from google but it hasn't refreshed on our little login window

Sometimes gmail profile pic change takes about a day to appear across all devices

eh to hell with it

What a delightful version.

Aw, this is nice.

it doesn't make me wanna cry & that's something!

Name your price download, this whole new Arbor comp is!

https://arborchristmas.bandcamp.com/album/arbor-christmas-volume-23

this is really nice

i still can't quite handle the Low

but it IS a nice version

@Edith, Ta hell with hell. If I go there, I'm not gonna play nice, and my motto will be be get the hell outta my way.

Great cover! I gotta attempt to get some more sleep, though that might not work out

it is a nice rudolph nose tho

you'll see! later. heheh

just woke up. looks like the goat is still not burning and it looks like frosted shredded wheat

(it's the art for my silly song's mp3)

I'm sad i missed 1910 chainsaw company, bubblegum reference + low cover is intriguing

I'm not spamming

Nice dream stuff Lizbot! Laterly

"From A Route 6 Car Wash" --yeah this is one of my favorite Yo La Tengo songs

See you later, Lizbot 🤖!

Ha.

Is the goat not getting burned because... There's a webcam on it?

Ise Goat?

Ok! I'm going to power down for routine maintenance for a bit. I'll see you all again in a few! All hail GROB.

bleep blorp

Happy maintaining, Jon Solob0t 🔧🛠 ⚙️

Dan was last seen heading to the airport. We all chipped in and sent him to Sweden. That goat's gonna burn.

Godspeed. it's -5 in Galve.

I mean Gavle

::hic::

High of 21 in Galve today.

Pushing 14/25 on the books now.

Perfect goat burning weather.

Speaking of the sun, it will be rising in 25 minutes in the Princeton area.

I can not wait! Bring it on!

Bring on the Summer.

I’ve been tuned in during each hour! Big cheers to DJ JonSolomon!

This IS a disco

Very nice to have you here, Mr. M!

This ain't no disco.

Heard about Princeton, NJ?

MrM, you're tops, boo. 👻

DJ JonSolomon brought me here! #SoIMPRESSED!

Hi, ChristineBoo! 👻

Jon, without thinking too hard what is the WEIRDEST thing in this year's marathon, and has it been played yet?

My mom took me to Princeton a lot as a kido. I have a special love for that train station that they took down. I still have a piece of slate from the roof in my wallet.

hmmm.

Moon is a corn puff. What’s it called??

it's kinda all weird no?

Altared Sounds was up there.

The pat metheny jawn

Everything is weird Edith. It's the only thing I trust in.

it's too hard to choose

Oh, bellz

Mornin', PRB fam. Merry Christmas.

What about that one song about that one song that CommieFrancis played after DJ JonSolomon played 2988 songs!?! 😝🤓🤩🥳🥸😎 WEIRD

Jesus' Blood is the Red Part of Your Candy Cane

Good morning, Mike Lupica!

Happy Holidays, DJ MikeLupica! ☃️❄️

I just ate a cookie in the dark and poured anticipatory booze into my coffee mug. Not a bad start.

Good morning everybody

Mike here you are and THERE you are too!

Good morning!

Cheers, DJ MikeLupica! ☕️🍾

Put that in your coffee mug and drink it.

I put a fresh log on the fire

as for the Altared Sounds track--- heck that DOES get weird. It started nice but pretty straight forward and I left the room for a minute out of earshot and missed the part where it really went OUT, just scanned through the bandcamp for it though

I can help out next year Jon, if needed. 📞

We'll all have imaginary slay bells (typo and it stays) ringing in our heads for a few days. A gift.

I hope your Christmas is full of gifts and love Mike Lupica.

i feel like this has gotten very meta and i kinda love it

Thanks for this carry of possibilities.

That was wonderful.

that was sweet

Thanks Roffle, same to you. I am most excited for my kiddo to discover the stereo she's getting. If she ever wakes up.

Please document, ML!

Stereo? You old fool you! Sweet!

I seriously need all the deets on this stereo

She's getting s small pile of starter vinyl, much of it by her request. I assume all 13 year olds are into the Beatles, Bowie, the Clash, Adele, and Edith Piaf, right?

I can see sunlight out my window!!

It's sunrise in the Princeton area!! 🌄

Good bet for sure!

Jon, what a great song to "let the sunshine in" with!

you ne regrette rien

L0LZ this

i kinda love these F-ing the listener covers. "Merry Xmas Everybody" IS my all-time favorite holiday tune (i may now have to change my pw security questions now that i've i've made that public)

F-ing WITH the listener

The Wonderful Christmastime one was ace also.

the patches of sunlight on the goat's neck make me think a giant magnifying glass on a nearby building could do the trick

@Mike. Yes, I think I was into all of that at 13, except for Adele who literally didn't exist yet

Sun in Philly

update: maybe I can just throw the chair out??

Oh good we get to hear Jon's French accent again

@Sebastian Ok, whew! Glad the zeitgeist remains intact.

Throw burning chair at goat

nooo save the chair

@Pat. yeah i've got the goat cam and the Solo cam running side by side. Thanx to George, Hattie and Loz for introducing me (and ALL of us?!) to the Galve goat

Liz not Loz

I feel dumb, I don't know what the goat is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqvguE5cKT0

Haha

there's this big straw goat in sweden

my god

and most years, it get burnt.destroyed by mischievous swedes

it's a big goat

Begging to be torched 🔥

Oh good, Animal from the Muppet's solo project.

You do realize you are the best part of zeitgeist DJ folks. Thanks for that. :)

Merry Christmas Jon and all the PRB fam!!

I'm laffing & that's good b/c it provides needed oxygen after 15.5 hours

Hey and good morning, Cap!

How many mg of caffeine have you consumed thus far you reckon?

Wait. That goat looks pretty af in the daylight! SaveThaGoat! Burn the chair!

oxygen is also needed for burning

def Animal vibes

Cap, besides two cups of green tea surprisingly little!

Amazing!

I will have some chai when family gets up I expect.

didn't realize til just now that the Goat-cam had audio on it too, was making the weird tracks on WPRB even weirder

Good morning all! Merry Xmas! How's the boss this morning? here's hoping it was an eventful evening music wise, uneventful other wise.

I am down with oxygen, when available in quantities apropos.

Here's to delicious chai

You can do this, DJ JonSolomon! Fighting!

The GoatCam does not need audio, does it?

so it's like burning man, but burning goat

Gavle is the birthplace of activist Joe Hill and several hockey players including Calle Järnkrok which is always nice to copy/paste

@Pat Rapa Animal joins Sonic Youth vibes

WPRB is the audio for GoatCam2022

Unless you want to hear someone suddenly yell "help! they set the goat on fire again!" in Swedish.

goat: no audio, none needed

L0LZ @DJ

RAYDIZ

any video with jon solomon (host) is the real GOATcam

Burnt goat is a non starter.

Happy Holidaze to DJ Captain Ahab! ❄️☃️

every song sounds like a good one to burn a goat to

Please don't burn the host (even in effigy).

Happy Holidaze to you Mr M!

There it is, Brian Heater!

SOLOMON! ❄️❄️❄️

No Brian's right we should prob burn jon at least a little

Jimboo, merry Christmas!

I didn't have a stake in this but after taking a look, you pretty much HAVE to burn that goat.

Omg please tell me everyone saw the Combination Yawn&EyeRub!

Good morning and merry Christmas everyone

It's a fine Christmas morning over here, hope it's doubly so with y'all

You don't absolutely need a stake to burn a goat but it's a useful tool.

Jim-- "stake in this"? haha, pun intended!

🚫🔥📻 👨

Can we get notifications on the goat

hm part of the problem seems to be that they don't necessarily burn it on xmas, even though that would really tie jon's show together

if i see something i'll say something, goatwise

That Slade version was HILARIOUS. I wonder if my English Slade-Christmas-song-hating friend would appreciate the Michael M Slade 'cover'

WOW - I wake up, sign into the marathon, and I get to hear the "Apocalypse Now" version of "Douce Nuit".

Notifications keep popping up in this chat af rn for realz

Good morning Jon! Merry Christmas

The goat is still intact https://www.visitgavle.se/en/gavlebocken

@Keith, that was a wonderful piece (A Gift From St. Noah)

THE Edith Frost in the chat? Wow...howdy!

There are 7 of us actually

Bonus!

all this goat talk makes me want to watch Wickerman, post-marathon

this could've gone into the earlier Halen mini-set! so much Halen this year....

I am EDITH FROST

I'm delirious

This will certainly wake one up.

You can call Edith Frost Legion for she is MANY

Ediths Frost or Edith Frostses

Also, I’m Batman 🦇

Well duh MrM

there are a couple on twitter who didn't get banned ::sob:: for making ::sniff:: Elon Musk cry

Surely, you must be kidding

I kinda got banned for impersonation

and some light toilet humor

Even Shirley know you're batman MrM ♥️

…maybe the chair doesn’t even exist. …maybe I’ve finally lost my mind. …what even IS a chair really?

Good morning!

With a livecam on the goat, I believe this is the only way future goat arsonists can light it up.

https://youtu.be/gmRf41SVHS4?t=19

mornin mk ultra

CB can you just keep covering it

Ahab is the wonder for the morning perhaps realm of Anatolian. Gotta catch that Christmas gig for sure.

Mary!

I feel like I missed part of the goat story while my family was here. What happens to the goat if it doesn't burn?

Would rather not find out.

no, I was totally thinking of some sort of burning darts

Launch an attack from the mosaic.🔥

@Christine Thanks so much! A small token of my esteem and affection for this wild gift we share every year.

https://youtu.be/rTCefc-uuEw

Ahab, how quickly can you be in Sweden?

if the goat survives, one of the edith frosts will be sacrificed

IT ALWAYS BURNS

Lol

Good morning Shirley. Good morning, jimbeaux. Good morning, Mary Krause Mary Krause.

we do this in Minecraft ALL the time

Good morning and Merry Christmas Jon and all in the chat! Tuned in since 5 yesterday, dozed off just after 1 so only caught moments from the last 6 hours in my slumber.

or maybe King Diamond just kisses it?

well that was weird - somehow i was on an old feed or something - had to refresh - somehow it was playing the van halen from like hours ago... so weird. fixed now

Morning, Mary Krause

Wow. That's new!

Angela Bassett in waiting to exhale burning the car but it’s the goat and my chair

In Phoenixville, PA, they build a giant wooden phoenix every year which gets burned at a big event....UNLESS an arsonist burns it before the big bonfire event. This happens often enough that they have security for the phoenix now. Although not as elaborate as the goat.

yeah that's weird DJ T, I was confused when you were talking about the current track as if it were a Van Halen mash/parody

Greetings, Pat, Jon, and Brian.

Is this still Mudfroot?

Frootcake Vol. 3

Is this WKRP?

Ahhh....the first cup of coffee. Happy to be tuning in!

right? Seb - so weird. and then my track listing feed wouldn't update. so weird!

Shoes for industry!

Hi Roffle!

This is the only Christmas Shoes

thank god i got it worked out in time to wake up to international shoe commerce...

Edith I’m having trouble with the corners. Might not have gotten enough fabric. I took a break and just looked at it again and it’s actually not that bad. Going to continue said break and return to it after. 🔥 🐐 🪑

Gimmie them phat Christmas dollahz

it's not an tune Xmas, but man this would be the perfect segue, obviously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HjIljJd-o0

can you shoot at it

Oh my signal must have dropped out, I missed a lot of chat

Keep wrapping in new fabrics like Christo

Jon Solomon's got sole!

Mary, you talking about Wickerman?

He certainly isn't a heel

Edith 😆

Jon we are en route to Winchester but i think we can pivot! To Sweden

JONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Merry Christmas!

by the way, I think this shoe thing IS the weirdest thing you've played so far and I LOVE it. Almost as good for me as the near pyschedelic trip experience I had hearing the "Xmas Seals" promo late night from a few years back

Men do be driving, though.

Oh you teenagers

ROBBBBBBBBBBB

Consider radio, won't you?

the Cracker Barrel one was better IMO

Hmm 19 hours drive….to Heathrow!

I'm whistling it now...

b/c I thought it was real at first heh

Look at that, the International Shoe Company lost a Supreme Court ruling that they had to pay state unemployment tax - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Shoe_Co._v._Washington

Every Christmas morning since 2006, I've woken up before the family comes down for gifts to say Merry Christmas to Mr. Solomon

Is New Hope fun to walk around on Christmas Day?

the Cracker Barrel story is great

I don't have all day to listen to this, I got friggin shoes to sell!

There's streamers??

New Hope is always fun

Merry Christmas Jon

There's always a catch.

this weirdo loves shoes

REQUEST: Anything by James Brown

who doesn't

Christmas is for closers.

Good morning, @Jon and everyone. Merry Marathon!

I thought shoes were made by elves

I must say - deconstructed christmas shoes by one dj tenderloin would work well here...

Good morning from Ohio!

Good morning Ohio

The International Shoes piece has some lines that would sound great in WPRB station IDs!

2nd prize is a set of steak knives

Do it Tendy

ooooh snake knifes!

Bela! I've thought about your grandmother and her cutouts so many times this year

My desire to yeild a credit card number has never been stronger.

Bela your story is up next.

I am suddenly disappointed that I didn’t receive any shoes for Christmas.

that was part 2......now i wanna hear shoes pt 1

Morning!

Things got weird up in this marathon later than I expected.

I got socks and underwear each Christmas from 1979 to 1987.

perfect timing

Awwww yisssss

holy crap this song

playlist

SOMEBODY BURN GOAT NOW

open up this gift pit

Copious umlauts, I approve

Hey its the grink

Maybe we can use a tactical grinch to burn the goat?

@Pat yes, this is definitely goat-burning music

lol at tactical grinch

Imma go LAMB on that G O A T

🔥 🐐 🤘

🤘🤘🤘

someone think of the kids

looked to see if Shoes (the power pop legends) had any Christmas tunes, that could've followed up the Int'l Shoe Co cut, but alas....

Update: The goat is now covered in snow but not burning

the goat looks pretty delicious

happy xmas folks

we have daylight in Austin ugh

Shoes, probably

A stuffed goat

Goat webcam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqvguE5cKT0

this is the GOAT of xmas shows...

🔥 🐐 🔥

Been here since 7:30 pm. A lot more people than last year made it through the night with us! 👏

I caught you a delicious goat

if they didn't want it to burn they shouldn't have put it there

mmmmmm goat

Good morning all, happy Christmas!

Personal gavle goat update: I woke up at 3 am last night with a gavle goat song in my head, and I can’t remember the tune now but I immediately wrote down the words before falling back to sleep: “ “here I stand now, Know what I know… GavleGoat in the night sky”

Everyone's back in the chat and that rules!

good morning Addie and hello again Liz.

Here for Columbus holiday content

Boner in the Middle of Cowtown is my favorite Mojo Nixon record

Good morning Sebastian!

@CB I TRIED to make it ALL NIGHT LONG (all night) but alas I passed out for 3 hours, but glad that folks like you were up to keep the faith

‘Morning, Sebastian, Addie, et.al. I only slept about 3 1/2 hours, but I attempted to fall back asleep and just couldn’t.

🥃 cheers!

Japanese-style Xmas monster movie idea: Snaildarth Vs Gavle Goat

Sebastian: YES

@Dan Ruccia - I finally found myself in yr home state for the first time ever last summer, on a road-trip from Pittsburgh to Michigan

@Dan Ruccia - And ceremoniously ate a gas station buckeye

🐌 🐐

thanks for playing our improvisation, Mr. Jon. sorry to have fallen asleep before it was aired. i hope that it gave someone strange dreams.

@Liz That is the way

Hooray for Bela!

And next time, stop by Cedar Point for all the roller coasters

You are very welcome, Greg. One of two intense overnight journeys!

Perf emoji, DJ DanRuccia! Facing each other!

That goat going in my cereal bowl now because it really does look like the shredded wheat! FROSTed!

i look forward to replaying it

Merry Christmas!!

🐌 🐻‍❄️ 🐐 snaildartha, eisbär & gävle-goat nativity

Happy Holidaze!

@Mr Malcontent - mmm, frosted goat 🤤

The true wise men

Mmmm now with more mountain goats! @DJ LizBot!

this is great, Bela. thanks for sharing. Hooray for ongoing wonderment!

Beautiful tale, thank you!

Awww, Mother’s memory 🎄 I’m cry.

Lizbot, eisbär and drummer boy was the whole tradition point. A vell...

aww

moving piece

Thank you for sharing Bela!

that was lovely

@malcontent - flame retardant fortified for good nutrition

I’m full this day @LizBotDJ

Show sticker again!

oooh new EF track is coming up!!!!!

ooh that woke me up

I get enough retardant in my vitamins @LizBotDJ 👻

Good morning Jon, it is so good of you, heroic really, to take on this holiday extravaganza. We send our warmest ever greetings of cheer from DJ Pethie’s parents.

touching story

Pethie's parents? Pethie is thee best!

Jon Solobot been quiet

Solobot is recharging, reportedly.

Good morning MaryEllen!! Happy Christmas! 💗

Nice pic of me on this album cover

I think he went down for maintenance

You are correct !

Jon, I haven't missed "it", have i?

You have not, Dan. After Snaildartha and Lindstrom I expect...

Merry Christmas Addie ! I hope you are staying warm.

DJ Pethie•Parents❣️❣️ Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄

Listen, Air Mack, I don't know what kind of people you're used to dealing with, but nobody tells me what to do in my place.

@Maryellen - I ❤️ Pethie!

Thank you MrMalcontent, and all the best to you too.

WPRB, not just community-supported, but a community in itself ❤️

merry xmas everyone, still waking up

Sending kind regards to DJ Pethie 💗

I really really ❤️❤️❤️ her too. Thank you for your sweet sentiment, Lizbot.

I am quite toasty Maryellen! Please give Pierre a hug for me!

Addie, I just did, and a smooch too.

This is like Do They Know It's Christmas? for a very specific brand of indie rock

bold move try to rehabilitate "ding-a-ling"

Good morning, Marathoners!

Good morning!

Chuck Berry ruined it for everyone.

Good morning William!

Greetings from SE pa…I cheated and got some sleep

Good morning, Captain. Happy xmas, all 💗

howdy Carlos

and all of a sudden i'm in the acupulco lounge on the love boat...

Always love a bit of disco. But only a bit.

Some sensational choreography just off camera...

sort of hard pressed to call this "funk" and/or "soul"...

Lounge yacht.

It’s f0nky and killed my Soul

that bridge kind of pulled it all together for me i must say

Hahahaha. DJ Dancing!!

this is craptastic

That's what I love about this comp though. Not just funky or soulful, but it makes sense.

No, it’s love boat . You nailed it

Oh, I unironically love this.

you're right boss - Santa's Funk & Soul Christmas Party 4 does seem pretty great

good morning. this song is great!

Like I'm google Bill Deal's catalog

Did I just turn on a Love Boat Christmas Special?

Now take us to FANTASY ISLAND

Good mauraning

What if Bill Deal had twin daughters...

And a Merry Krausemass to all

smiles everyone, smiles....

Merry Xmas to this bunch of freakin jerks only

this is genuinely weird

not that fake weird shit

morning, /\/\ /\ \/ /` /\

THIS ONE WINS THE HOUR

This does not remind me of the Love Boat.

The Poseidon Adventure, perhaps?

Good morning William!

Eile of Peggs

How is this not a Belle & Sebastian b-side?

awww

Hi Brian! Hi Pat!

haha "welcome to the musical version of the "'Poseidon Adventure'" is a line the Black Crowes once used to introduce themselves on stage. Both were scary in different ways

Oh lovely interpolation in this one.

BAMMY CLAMMAS!!!!

Chef!

@jon THANK YOU for playing Douce Nuit earlier!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Good morning everyone!

Now we're cooking.

Burn the goats

Seb - love Poseidon Adventure - one of my faves! saw it in the theaters.... tendy be old

yep this is goat burning music

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

omg there's a crow just started cawing really f'n loud outside our house

by the way, I want to formally request the "Setting Up Drums" tune. It truly is one of the finest Xmas parodies ever and I think it deserves annual play on the marathon.....ps, i'm digging more Gavle GOAT-burning music

@Brian Heater - Cooking 🐐

Ask not for whom the goat burns, it burns for thee

Great request.

I'll second a setting up drums request

why can't they hose the goat down at least

If carolers came to the house doing this tune I would definitely open door for them

🔥 🐐 🤘

When Gargamel needs some company

Now you ain’t crazy, I know you ain’t crazy… Merry Christmas every one! 🎄🎤🎧

Hi! Crashed out before 10 I think. Have to buy a stuffed animal for an 18 month old in a bit. What time is Snaildarrtha (EST, please)?

Was worried the goat wouldn't burn at daytime....but luckily the sun sets at 2:41 pm local Gävle time and it's now 2:45pm

9-10? I think

I'm having a blast on my side of the microphone!

@eliza rohr - maybe get a 🐌 stuffed animal and affix a Santa hat to it to carry on the Snaildartha legacy to future generations

Well, at least CVS is 5 mins away...

@Jason Samuel Goldman - I’m always surprised when I check the Gävle cam and see any daylight at all in darkest Sweden

I hate that I luved watching the goat burn

Merry Christmas everyone. Passed out around 2 and rejoined with the pile of eggs medley, quite the way to wake up

passed out at 1A - up at 7:30

Ordering Espresso’s here in Philly. Happy Hanukkah everyone

same as y'all

merry merry

@Liz Bot the only family member that might be amenable to the legacy is my cousin's stepdaughter who asked for Pavement and Smiths albums alongside the T-Swift

She's also going to attend college in the Philly area

@eliza rohr - nice! Mentor her in the Ways of the Snail https://www.amazon.com/Snail-Plush-Stuffed-Animal-Kawaii/dp/B09VDDVZF5

I thought you were calling me frostbite

What a fabulous run of almost-all-new or all-new-to-the-marathon tracks, Jon!!

@lizbot or an ACTUAL snail

The snail anticipation is getting intense! Happy Christmas morning chatters!

I think Snaildartha should be around 10.

I was talking about snaildartha with my daughter last week. She's officially curious. She's with her mom this xmas, so we'll have to start her snail training in a couple days

how many of us have new jerry t-shirts to mark the occasion? ✋

(New expanded edition of sUPEREDS here.)

🤘🏽

still wearing my jerry shirt since last night

I am wearing such a shirt presently.

Thanks! I should be back by 10

Now has the snail evaded me all these years??

*how

@lizbot - Averaging approximately 5 hours and 44 and 11 tenths of a second of minutes of daylight until New Years - https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/sweden/gavle

The snail is swift of foot muscle and sharpeth of wit

when I decided to stay up 25 hours I neglected to take into account the many hours I was already up before it started. ::sob::

Stay strong Edith!

COFFEE! oh god

💪

oh now I'm dancing tho, this is far out

another hot track from that funk comp! i gotta pick this up...

My fave new comp of this season.

Would like to hear Slint cover Snaildartha

Ok, eff the chair. My current dilemma: should I get the snail shirt in soft pink or hot pink?

This is groovy 🧑🏼‍🎄

Great drums.

GROB

@MHR i got a sweatshirt!

agh more grobs

In general I like heather shirt colors personally.

@DanWeis I think a Spiderland/Snaildarrtha mashup migth work...

rock rock rock

soft pink. soft pink sounds more...dirty....

Do You Want New Wave Or Do You Want The Soft Pink Truth?

jingle grob grob jingle

woke up to grobs

i thought the lyric was “up on the crop top” at first

lol!

Grob is a harsh taskmaster.

Initial guitar line on this HSC song similar to...Sun God by Squirrel Bait?

They pelted us with rocks and soft pink snail shirts

is Maccabot around?

Merry christmas everyone!

Maccabot is here, yes.

Need a Hazy Sour Cherry/Hazel Nuts Chocolate split 7"

best robot 2022

Ok now it’s between soft pink and heather purple. Maybe I’ll wait until the snail song airs

Goat is fully intact.

Thank you Jon!!!

Brendan’s back, hey bud

Is there some kind of orgy surrounding the goat?

Why would you stand around a non-burning goat?

Maybe they’re collectively mind spelling it to burn

Commie Francis! My wife just explained to me that you work with my wife Nadia - I'm her husband! I don't think I made that connection because I'm a little thick. Anyway - hello. merry christmas! ha

What good is it just standing there

I am gobsmacked by the amount of talent providing new material for the marathon this year. This story is no exception.

they could've used fire retardant materials

Ok, so now we can hypnotize the eisbars?

for the goat/snail/eisbar battle royale?

It makes sense that you couldn't TELL ppl that they SHOULD burn the goat, but, c'mon.

that was great

spoiler

This VU set is good training for Yo La Tengo's 8th night show tonight.

i love VU set!

Merry Underground! 🍌

Ha! I gave the fam a puzzle made from our threesome picture at the start of 8th grade

Love the vu set! Off to a genius start

🤘👨‍🍳🤘

i love nico singing carols...

LOUUUUU

As I was drifting off after Misfits last night, I bolted awake with the realization that the whole thing probably started with the Rudolph special's songs.

wait all tomorrow's parties is a christmas song?? 🤣🤣👏👏

Sad to miss GROB but here for Lou and Snaildartha.

It is now

i die

My wife loves Taylor Mac! She wants to go to Machine Dazzle's exhibit this week.

This makes me realize I've never actually understood the words to this song

Also, this is fantastic

lemme catch you up on what you missed

grob grob grob grob grob grob

DJ Tenderloin, have you ever seen the video for it?

Oops

Oh, that's funny. Was the vocal track on that :18 Gift excerpt?

hey sorry - was away opening presents! seen vid for what?

On the left channel, yes

Merry Morning Everyone!! Unwrap those Panettone!

loving this vu set

Or did we get monostereo'd?

Are there any Krampus songs coming up? :)

Oh i know - Arty Needs

(I did not have headphones on for it.)

Hi Jon! Seasons greetings to you and yours

Love all these VU takes

Hello, Mike!

Sadly, we have to leave soon

re: Dan - I have seen! I laugh every damn time

Hey Mike, seasons greetings!

https://on.soundcloud.com/jYsKB

One of the many things I discovered from this show

Good work, Dan W.

Carl Z... the YLT Run Run Run Hanukkah night 3 with Lee Ranaldo on bells and guitar was off the chain! I hope you get something good tonight too.

Of all the band-cover sets, I find the VU/Reed one the most fascinating.

Always great to see so many familiar names on this chat

Oh Jon, this Velvet Underground tribute takes me back to my lovely misspent youth. Thank you.

also I loved the GROB callback, but what IS grob? Is it some internet term you youngsters on the tickin' and the tockin' use?

Lou VU set is a fave ya! Merry mornings y'all

I like it as a morning-starter!

This is so great!

I was there! Lee Ranaldo shaking bells while grinning like a madman is my enduring memory of this holiday season.

i don't understand grob. it feels like thing that attaches itself to your head and makes everything grob

it's getting dark in sweden.

Howdy, @Mr. Mike and @Mike A.!

I admit I don't know grob from GROB.

Delaware river is all big ice chunks a floatin’ this morning, looks pretty neat.

Merry morning Brian

OK -- Pat let's form Grobbing Mistletoe for next year

Mooooode!

Hi Chris

I have no idea what Grob is tbh, I thought everyone else knew.

GROB Peter to pay Paul?

Grobbing Mistletoe!

Grob is CIA.

good plan! It'll be a tough grob but somebody has to grob

haha @JT, do it!

Borg

Thank u Tenderloin

This is the best worst idea I've had today

agreed - JT - Grobbing Mistletoe! too good

(Whispers "g' night Lou")

Smash & Grob

I just realized I'm wearing new pajamas with bananas on them that Maria just gave me. Perfect serendipity for the VU/Lou set

Cool remix!

You know it's frigid if there's chunks of ice in the Delaware @DSM! Brrrrrrr

bananas on pajamas

AND during a song by a group with pajamas in its name!

But can you peel them

Whoa Beatles

Of course my headphones choose now to snap in half

Love that one!

yep.

Damn this Nico is tight

god i love this

@mike they were already peeled so they're now only worth 1/2 their value on discogs now, even in NM-

OK you got a cackle out of me with that one

unwrap slowly and see

Jokermen need to do a belated holiday pod about these VU trax

Nico is grobbin'

Hoooooliiidays....will be the death of me

Santa klows

ok that was great

Jim, something not too far from that is in the works!

@Space Cowboy-- may duct tape be your savior!

Grobtastic

wow. how did i miss this last year? this is brilliant

Two VU songs in one?! Love it.

26 grobs in my hand...

The absurdly talented David Nagler came up with this. He cracked the code!

I cry behind door... grandma got run...

so cool

This one's kinda legit.

Is this marathon cooler then the other years? Maybe it's just me I probably is

Grobbing Thistle (no toe... it has been grobbed)

This year's marathon is AMAZING

So many cool stories and funny songs

agreed. this year's is especially good!

And new stuff!

These chords are just indestructible, in any version

velvet undergrob

Having just the snippets of Arty Need/"Nico" was brilliant: tantalizing but never tiring

lol Patrick!

3 years running now for my friends dub proof 🙏🏼

They found a perfect "in" Selecta!

Someone needs to make a Rudolph/VU song called “There He Glows Again”. Just putting it out there.

You've got 51 weeks, Brad.

ha!

he's on the roof again

Bless up everyone Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

I've been trying to do something with Some Kinda Love - still working on it.

Oh no. What have I done.

ok - gotta open some presents now - i got some sweet PJs so far...

Happy Holidays EVERYONE!

I agree.

What would be good lyrics for White Light/White Heat/White Christmas?

@ Carl -- grob, clearly

That's the name of the collection at least.

the goat is illuminated but not with fire

Hello the chat - merry christmas and happy everything, Jon & Jon-a-thoners!

burn the goat

Ahoy there Readie!

@EF you beat me to it, i was just thinking the chat needed a GoatCam update!

All Marathon, all through the night, not another tune, from another source, not a squeak from a mouse

Merry morning, Readie!

Addie! Greetings!

Also, PewPewPew to DJ Dana K❣️

and holly happy to you, Christine!

Thanks Jon! Was there ever an Enola Gay Xmas Mash up? Christmas Day, I arrived home yesterday?

good morning love warriors

BACK

Enola Gay like the OMD song?

Ho, Ho, SidhOHtha!!!

yeah!

Not yet. Make one!

This is absolutely beautiful.

Ok!...Now I just need some musical talent...The lyrics I can do!

Ahhh surprise Lou Reed

Doug Yule Log

chibi-dibi-dildren

I have been listening for hours but only now figured out how to reduce the privacy settings on my computer enough to type something in this chat box. This whole Lou Reed set is great (King Mistletoe Jr my fave so far; this actual Lou Reed track w Bruce Cockburn my least fave)

“White Snow/White Yule” (pun not intended but I like it)

Hi Ken!! Merry Christmas!

Welcome to the fam, Ken!

This Cockburn track was not my fave initially but I have warmed to it since making it a part of the set. A friend texted me moments ago to say it always makes them cry.

Hi Jon! Merry Christmas!

Hey Ken

Nice goat here...be a shame if someone...SET IT ON FIRE

Doug YULE, geddit?

Forgot all about this Cockburn thing

Thanks for keeping the music rolling, Jon! Merry Christmas from your friends at Bike Works!

(Ken I really appreciated Trash Flow's encore Hamish Kilgour episode)

MIKE

Merry Christmas and happy holidays ! Jon did Christmas snail come on yet?

Snail in next 15 minutes or so?

Meow?

You're almost there.

almost kat

MrM! Hello

I’m loving this Bruce Cockburn - Lou Reed! My goodness

I've been trying to get word on that snail!!!!!

No Isebar, no drummer boy, no christmas. Oh well.

neerkat

I prefer it take me unawares.

all anyone wants to talk about here is goats!!!!

DJ Kat?! Meow!

I think we'll need someone who can read Swedish police reports to find what time previous goat fires took place in order to have an idea of the timing of it all (Christmas Eve Absolut drinking? Christmas Day Swedish Meatball and Svedka hangover?,) and what percentage of goat fires were set after cameras and live feeds were installed.

Lol jimboo

I'm trying to figure a way to put on the Marathon at the in-laws to see if they twig to the fact that Little Drummer Boy has been going on for an awful long time.

mojochronic is one of my faves. he? she? they? always inspiring

Jeg kan godt laese noget Svensk

Get back on the radio, DJ Kat! Happy Holidays!

Does Laurie Anderson have any wild holiday song? Would like to see more female artist

I think Mojochronic wins here.

I still have my snaildartha alarm set on my phone from last year

can I buy off the goat sacrifice? Need a live one to battle invasive plants. And for cuddles.

Bet the goat just catches fire with the camera right on it if no one steps up. Goat fire is an inside job.

has anyone considered a large magnifying glass

Predicting camera malfunction.

Chekov's goat.

Goats be GROB

feel like maybe i just followed the wrong dj tenderloin on instagram

@jim I was wondering too if it's an inside job too, if the burning of the goat is really part of the tradition and expectation

Laurie Anderson is sorta Chrismas.

Schrodinger's Goat

How else do you get ppl to leave?

lol Patrick

All this goat talk makes want to watch Argentina vs France again

"Thank you everyone, that was the goat, we've stood around not burning it for long enough."

Just gonna let it get weird and mildewy.

this is a goat sounding room

some people just don’t get the GOAT. It’s in your heart! Like CHRISTMAS! Gotdamn 🤬🐐🔥🤣🤤

Really impressed by the staying power of the goat conversation ever since the story and song last night

It has really captured the hearts and minds of the chat

Still with the burnt goat. A friend of mine used to have goats and cooked one of them under ground in a pit every so often.

goat goat jingle goat jingle goat grob

I always say "snow" two measures too early

109,082 Øre / €10,547 fine and 6 months in the pokey for smokin' on that goat pack?

https://bnn-news.com/man-in-sweden-jailed-for-burning-christmas-goat-232028#:~:text=A%20court%20in%20Sweden%20has,east%2Dcoast%20town%20of%20G%C3%A4vle.

if telekinesis was real that goat would be toast. people all over the world want to see it spontaneously combust

Goat Delirium 😵‍💫

Not the best beast in my humble opinion.

will any ungulate effigy offering do?

@Blaise and co, this is a great track

Good morning fam!

I agree with "goat goat jingle goat jingle goat grob"

Hey Debra!

Meet the goat. burn the goat. Burn the goat inside you, The goatless barrier.

@sebastian thanks! Dug yours last night!

How does he still sound so cheery?

The presents make the hours fly by!

Present #18!!

Charades!

L’Chaim!

🐌 🕉 ✨️!

HAIL TO THE SNAIL

I like the idea of listening to Snaildartha together as an exercise in community-building. It is!

Awwwwww yeah! It's time!

You’ve got SNAIL 🐌❣️

TRADITIOOOON

Snail o'clock

ALL GLORY TO THE CHRISTMAS SNAIL

Earlier when I wrote “burn the goat” my iPad at first autocorrected goat to “host.” The goat juju and conjuring is starting turn against us 😬🫣

L0LZ

🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌

🐌 🎅 🔥

Jerry has left a shimmering trail on our hearts all these years

Escargot buy any other name.

🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌

So fulfilling! The snail cannot fail!

Slime line

I think in all of our hearts, it's Snaili O'Clock somewhere

Wait, has anyone made the novelty songs about flesh eating reindeers yet?

@Brian D - well said!

Is there a goat in this story?!

There is if u believe

Yayyyyy jerry

Ha! @🔥🐐🔥

Goatdartha? Doesn’t have the same ring but maybe…

Tenor sax at a snails pace.

Goatdartha has legs (this is snail humor)

Here for Bob the Arbor Day Snail

Guess I should’ve been paying attention to the story, huh? …oops

Snailing away

85% awake during Snaildartha, the ideal late Christmas morning

🐌 🌲 🐐

Can you guys summarize in succinct manner for me?

So far Snails are Schmoozin & Oozin

Local snail makes good

merry christmas Liz Bot!

i mean we could but really it changes every time

and yet stays the same

What is Santa made of? The answer might surprise you

nah you gotta go on the journey

i've listened to this piece every year and I'm a huge deadhead too, but it just hit me the 2 main snails are Jerry and Bob. Just as coincidence, also this piece IS one long noodling groove jam.......

@SP OMG

a new Revelation

Mind blown....

Buttttt, does SANTA believe in You?!?

(for me too anyway)

Snail cookies have been served.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CmmJD0HuFR4/

Every year, something new to discover

ooooh thanks Seb! Maybe that'll get my Deadhead wife into the spirit

C O O K I E S❣️

jerry the christmas cookies

Haha thx mike and MrM

Cheers, CB.!

hey marathoners - here's where you can find Walk On The Wild Silent Night from the Lou/VU set. Thx! https://djtenderloin.bandcamp.com/track/walk-on-the-wild-silent-night

🐌🎷

Jiggling the cord, these Christmas lights might just come on.

Are Snails getting a timeshare with Santa?

Thought: Could the pilgrimage of xmas animals be the origin of the Gavle Goat???

Pretty sure it’s not a dead reference… but I suppose it is what you make it

🤯 @DJ DanRuccia

the Strouth has spoken. but it is quite something

Wake up, Edith Frost!!

Middle part of the story could be different every time.

I make my kids stop playing with toys and sit still and listen to this every year, this is my favorite part of Christmas John Solomon. My kids absolutely hate this

I'm up!! I'm rapt listening to Jerry

Oh she’s right there. Am I asleep??

they will thank you some day

@mrmalconent depends on if the North Pole is the new Florida :-(

I have a penchant for snail cookies

that's what I tell them

Listening from Hamburg, Germany. And I really love your marathon!

full disclosure I did nod off for about 10 mins a few sets back

I also tell them I'm writing emails when I'm in the chat

Listening from Hamburg, Germany. And I really love your marathon!

So YES! @eliza•rohr 👻

Your story is next, Edith.

Woooo!!! that's awesome Sven

Jon, I'm gonna be driving from 2-3. What's on the agenda then?

Welcome about, Avanon.

Brendan, your guess is as good as mine. Should be clear of RAMONES-O-CLOCK and the second ALL-MISFITS SET by then.

OMG ok

Haha awesome. Thanks!

what an honor I'm not worthy

Jerry is a tough act to follow

Speaking of the afternoon driving, that was usually when my son and I would be driving to the John Peel "The Fall" supercut.

I LOVE THAT ONE

While I enjoy listening at home, the drive just hits so much better.

currently buying sail 24 hour marathon shirt listening to snail dartha -- my charisma took a -2'

um i think you mistyped +20

Ooze Nudge Ooze ➖➖➰➖➖

it's a Christmas charisma miracle!!

The only words I’ve registered this whole time is “Arbor Day”

oooh and superfluous! One of my faves

Waking up to Jerry meeting Santa...I literally can't remember the last time I've heard BEFORE this part, but I'm glad I made it to consciousness for this

Get a friend like Bob the Arbor Day Snail.

.. not to mention that beautiful slime

I was in a chat with a grubhub agent at the beginning of the story so all hope was lost from the jump. Another year were the snail evades me. Happy Arbor Day everyone

*where

Jon, speaking of Snaildartha, did you get my card

If Joe Frank had a baby, it would be a snail.baby.

CB gonna eat the escargot, I just know it

I mean you can alway listen post marathon… it’s sort of easy to find. Just saying. But it is never as good as it is here.

@rooflestomp that is awesome

@CB was it perhaps Grobhub?

I can't believe Jerry is opening for ME, that seems bass-ackwards

Brothe Bruno's in Manhatten is the place for a good Escargot -ᎷяM. Just sayin'

Listening with my snail shirt on

@Maria, on our mantle currently!

Why is part of me thinking that redoing "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" into "Jerry Was a Christmas Snail" would be kinda awesome

One of my fave lines about the arms. And yes Joe Frank is alternate universe friends w Matt Fugate / Jerry the Snail I would hope

wait do I have to clean up the slime

That’s where I’ll throw the burning goat! Thx Rofflestomp! #Vegetarian

Joe Frank!!

I think my bff got me the snail shirt, which means he'll drop it off at my house sometime in February despite driving near my house every day on the way home from work. He still hasn't picked up his present from his Oct. 25 bday. Actually, the shirt might be my Oct. bday present, not a Christmas present, I don't remember at this point.

Wanda Jackson has a song called "I've Got a Date With Jerry"

...the Christmas Snail

Edith on slime removal

🤣🤣🤣 @eliza•rohr

A Snail shirt was gifted last night

Eliza, DO IT

I can't play bass like that, I might be able to do the guitar noodles

@briand mat wasn’t friends with Joe Frank, but he and I were friendly. He was a genius cranky but a genius.

What 😮 a door 🚪?!? Whut

YESSSSS

Chris, the "he" was referring to Matt or Joe? Or the snail haha?

OMG Santa is a KRANG

Santa is a snail gundam.🐌🤖

@Chris Strouth, Joe Frank seems quite cranky for sure. LOL

In tents and porpoises !?!

Only way that mind would produce that output if it were a cranky mind ya

Joe was brilliant

What’s going on now in the story? Are all the snails ok and happy?

So happy to catch snaildartha

Regerts

Maybe we are all snail gundams, who's to say?

saaammmeee

They are stalking each other

@CB in a manner of speaking

Oh I think Chris was actually referring to being friends w/Matt Fugate now that I read the wiki

Yeah joe Frank.was Kranky. Matt is still a delight, and Jerry is a transcendent n

Love Bob.

2 questions - do the vocals of this exist without the music? so many mash ideas flooding my cranium. also - has there ever been a live performance of jerry? because that would be transformative.

Krista, did you make it to MN OK?

Happy Days to you DJ Krista!

DJT, I believe there is a live recording that Jon played one year

GM, Maria T!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@edith think of the *magic* in that slime

There was a live performance at year 30

Ya I remember that airing. Big 30

Wasn't that performance done in Minny?

Nope I was friends with joe Frank. And of course matt. And well everyone in the room o. This record. Cause I had to talk them all into doing it for free

snail can't fail...

I maintain that Mrs. Claus is a robot. That's the only way this story works

Oh both of them! I see. Talking them into doing it for free .... a snail Christmas miracle yes

cool. i might've even heard that and then promptly forgot. i'd love to see that! there should be an all star tribute...

Mrs. Claus MADE the robot.

Snail has my hostage mail.

I'm up. Did I miss lindstrøm?

lindstrøm is still tk

@Maria T did you seal the envelope with slime

I guess we're in Jerry's Room at the moment.....hmmmmmm

Not everyone has read my Santa Snail fanfic origin story I see.

And now Christmas is perfect.

Dj tenderloin. The session tracks are somewhere. There was one live performance in mn that was going to be a record… but instead it is forever banashed to the closet of never gong to see light. Pre covid we wanted to do a live thing and do it out there. But now that things are getting better we might

NOW it’s Christmas.

We are all concerned about lindstrøm. Ransome might also be involved.

I might faint

Chris Strouth - pls let me know! i'd road trip for that...

In all seriousness I am very grateful for this Christmas tradition. Thank you Jon 👨‍🍳♥️📻

Ah yes, the Krang tradition, a tradition within the Tradition

Thank you snail.

everybody add 44 xp

@Drew HIIIIIII, I did not! MISSED OPPORTUNITY!

Snail rules, thank you!

thank you for snaithdarthaaaaaaaaaaa jon

(or something, i'm bad at d&d and the people i play with hate me)

Getting ready for a Lindstrom walk. I think I got 2 miles in last time?

Jim Haku! I was thinking there was a clear cue there for prequels! Where do we find them?

Hey, socks are a good gift.

also - Chris Strouth - must find acapella track of it - thx for the tip - on the hunt!

YAY EDITH

Sock it to YOU

Chris S thank you for the back story tidbits, info! Great to hear!

@Maria T ps I'm coming to Philly for unwound, can we have a twentieth reunion or whatever it is by now?

Bam.😪

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Meta verses from Edith?

a nod to Hannukah Harry

Very psyched to hear this new Edith Frost piece!

We’ll said Chef Emeril Lagasse! Such a great tradition.

Glorious, Edith

EDITH FROST ❄️💙❄️

Edith, brilliant!

edith ❤️❤️

Yeah, Edith!!

omg i love this

Walk like a boss Dan Ruccia or run at the sun. Good stuff either way.

@Drew YES! Of course! I would be mad if you came all the way here and we did not get to hang

Mark Greenberg ladies and gentlemen

This is Edith in the chat? Beautiful, Edith! <3

@blaise In all of our hearts. And possibly a locked livejournal.

on all playing

Frost melting my cold, cold heart 💙💙💙

Merry Christmas Jon and everyone!

Yes! Look forward to Edith's contribution every year.

EDITH ARE YOU PLAYING A CELESTE?

I AM LOVING THIS EDITH

42 minutes of drummer boyyyyy

Jen just asked if this is going to be the marathon opener from now on.

This song is delightful

Fantastic!

thank you all

Merry Christmas everybody! What a great song!

wow. wow. wow.

https://soundcloud.com/edithfrost/wprb-xmas

Love it Edith! And I'll be at Unwound too!

So gotdamn CHARMING! @EDITH•FROST ❤️

Yay Edith!! Love!

that was excellent

I gotta add to playlist tho

👏 👏

That's a new fav for sure. Watching out for the Phoebe Bridgers cover in 3-4 yrs.

here we go!

Cheers, Edith! 💯

🔥🔥🔥

been a great honor & great fun to do this Jon for 10 years omg

🤩

@edithfrost what a great little track.

Is everyone tall enough for this ride?

So good, Edith

As long as he’s here, as long as Jerry the Christmas Snail is in this town, there’ll be no more to come through here as bad as he is. 🐌🎄

the only way out is through

I feel better now. Thank you Jon.

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I'm never quite sure when to take it....

A little bit of inside baseball about my Xmas contribution that is Edith-specific: My guitar tone was deeply inspired by "Walk on the Fire" (I told you I love that record!)

I seek to have severely overslept and missed Snaildartha. But at least I made it just in time for THIS

whoah

The dog isn't gonna like it but the volume is going wayyyyyyyup

Lindstrom wear they head out...

Somehow I am always making breakfast during Lindstrom, the perfect Breakfast Making Song!

STRAP IN. LINDSTRØM TIME.

I'd end up making 42 pancakes

so I name-checked our lips are sealed in that song, so that was a little weird and sad

All strapped in!!!

Last week I was driving home and getting drowsy and my wife told me I was just one Lindstrom away from home. Sure enough, the beat dropped when I hit the driveway

(before Terry Hall died)

(I think it's technically a violin making the droney fuzzy noise on that song???? but that sound lives in my head rent-free)

@Dan...love that!

I love this marathon so very much seriously this whole thing is pretty much pure magic. But it’ is all about Lindstrøm. Holy crow is this great. I didn’t think you could do better than low in this song. And he just takes it so above and beyond

Jon, I always enjoy a Christmas morning hike w/the dog. don’t recommend hiking w/earbuds but today is the only allowable exception.

on my WOTF? no violins.

edith frost you may have created the new marathon theme song. so so good. at some point print those lyrics!

A link from the Snaildartha wiki here (an article about you know who year # 30...) https://www.radiosurvivor.com/2018/12/wprb-dj-jon-solomon-celebrates-30-years-of-christmas-marathons/

@Edith yes! oh wow, I thought it sounded like a violin all these years

@Maria T, rolling an electic violin through a pedal just makes sense. Thank you Eddie Jobson.

here we go!

Following Edith and DJT on band camp. Great work!!

Get in the car, start driving and don't stop until the end of Lindstrom...

Brian D! Good on ya! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Really beginning to feel it.

This is my favorite one. Thanks Jon!

🐌 + WPRB🎄 + 🥁 = Jon The GOAT 🐐 🔥

Just started Lindstrom on youtube with both playing at the same time.....VERY trippy

all radios in house and bluetooth streaming...delay only enhances the experience....

two of the classics back to back.... a blessed christmas

Mike Constantine, you are wonderfully evil!

Apparently Lindstrom performed Little Drummer Boy live for the first time recently. I hope to something receive a recording!

I think my little drummer boy hating stepmom is STARTING to come around

Who’s gonna tell Chris… 👀

Also Edith that was so sweet and amazing

Indeed Roff!

The revolution will be Lindstromized.

Cranberries in stepMom’s ears, DJ CommieFrancis??

Commie Francis - so I'm dumb and didn't realize that you're the woman who works with my wife Nadia! Ha! Good to meet you? Anyway - merry lindmas!

there are are surprising number of songs about this show

lol!

run it back one more time jon

the little scrotumclaus

I may not always make it to all of the marathon, but I will not miss Lindstrøm! I will rise out of the worst headache and coziest bed to remember to tune in

The Xmas Meta Marathon: Songs about WPRBXmas

Now Zoning

Thanks for that link, Brian! I didn't know about the Fox 29 spot

Also, hi hi friends!

55 Miles per Hour = 629,789,416,666,667 Angstroms per Lindstrom

Insert “LINDSTRØM IS JUST BOLERO!” meme here.

DroneZone!?!

Lindstrom's a pretty cool guy.

Lol Wesley

there are Edith - but that one is the sweetest

@Jannon, with ya. This is worth waiting a year for.

Oh yes Nadia sends me your mixes every year dj tenderloin!

XmasDroneZone™

Lol

Lindstrom.....https://f4.bcbits.com/img/0007295789_10.jpg

good news Commie Francis! happy happy joy joy to you and yours!

BOLERO! Too funny, but spot on Wesley.

aw thanks deej

ah it really is Bolero-esque innit. the great unRaveling.

Nice to see Ken Katkin in the chat! Do I remember correctly Ken was the first music director to let Jon do a show on WPRB?

jeez talk about being sandwiched between two titans of the 25-hours, jerry & the boy

so it's all his fault!

If so, did Ken start the wonderful tradition of "WPRB interns" from local high schools (and occasionally middle school)?

Because that tradition also gave us Home Blitz and Don Giovanni Records

Man this just makes me wish I took drugs.

Medication time

thank you, @Dan Weis... staring into Lindstrom's eyes while listening is a whole 'nother level...

I take drugs - this makes me wish I had some

@Dan Wade, I did Electro Optics in college and Angstroms were the nanometer of choice. :)

lol@Roff

Chris, that was Ethan Stein.

Thanks for correcting the record, Jon

And thank you, Ethan!

Of course. Eddie Mosh for life!

Indeed!

hello again all🎄🎄🎅🏽

teeth instinctively starting to grind a little....

Every year my dad would drive to pick me up in Chicago so I didn't have to take the train to visit the family in NW Indiana. This was ALWAYS on the radio when we cruised down Lake Shore Drive. It was great! Streets mostly empty. This is excellent driving music! Miss you, dad!

One of many traditions I'm grateful for. Happy marathon time to all!

I mentored him so that makes me your grandfather

JS salute JS (and JS)!!!

💨💨💨🔥

Imagining mary and joseph in the manger with a small baby jesus and there is some child with a lap top and a peavy practice amp making this for them.

Hey, Jason. I have many questions about the thing you sent me but I will ask them later! Well, one question. Is that you doing the voice(s)?

ha it's not my voice!

Ok!

This is the part where I always stop remembering what I was thinking.

I think Jon must have played it before but check out Frank Kelly Christmas Countdown. An Irish parody of the 12 days of Christmas. And the complaints of having to deal with what would happen in reality if all those gifts were sent (Frank played the cranky old priest on Father Ted a way too short lived comedy program)

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we thereAre we there yet? yet? Are Are we there yet? there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?? (me to Lindstrom, mid-Boy)

Keeping the Lindstrom pace on a walk is kinda tiring. Bright sunny Xmas in Durham, though!

@Dan - is that Durham UK?

Found it, Wesley

https://twitter.com/100Wprb/status/1333635174920298496?s=20&t=lU6egJ6XKdDcgYqUa3nDoQ

Music to wrap gifts to. Until you realize twenty minutes later you've lost focus and absent-mindedly wrapped the scissors, the tape, the wrapping paper roll, the snail cookies, the phone playing WPRB...

This is basically tinnitus

Ok, I was thinking, sun must be close to setting across the pond rn! lol

@Brian D. Frank Kelly was a funny, funny man.

Presents are opened. Managed to catch a bit of jerry and now settling in with lindstrom, a cup of coffee, and some old comics my parents got me

Aye Ambrose

I get chills when the vocoder voice drops

f. Peter Frampton

JS JS JS 🤯🤯🤯

I'm hearing voices now, is it just me

Rup a pum pum

@Dan Wade Yup, that’s it! 👍🏻👍🏻🎄

@CM it's all of us

@DanWade I went to HS with a DanWade in south Jerz. Did you grow up in the Medford Lakes area?

I picked the right time to get into the Christmas greens.

Completely forgot the sixers are on at noon!

Might need to hire one of those NFL time management coordinators but for the final 12 hours of radio shows. Not sure everything can fit!

Dan Weis, nope, grew up in Alabama. (Hi Matthew)

Are they playing the Pittsburgh Pisces Kevin? I forget ...

was out on a walk with the pup, just got back into chat Thanks for the tune Edith. Loved it!

Knickerbockers brian

Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Play half the Misfits Songs in the left ear, half in the right. Boom! Saved you 20 minutes

this is the part where it gets very manic

Volume bumped

Hi Dan !

The voice oculation part is just. So very fantastic

tysm sebastian

In the Lindstrom depths

Jon, you only get three timeouts per half.

Awwww yeah!

🚀🚀🚀

Hi Jannon!

Same here Jerry

Putting on the duck boots for a frolic with the inlaws. Catch you on the flip.

hi!!!

we have ignition .... and lift off.....

right Dj

Chords are starting to churn......

whoaaaaaaaa yeah

Deep in the track

Srsly, I remember when 24/25 hours seemed like a lot of time to fill. Now there's enough to go to Epiphany easy.

celeste

i gotta say the slow burn of Lindstrom would be a great soundtrack to a giant burning goat in the Swedish night...

Man this is beautiful

and hi @Jannon!

that sounds like an omnichord

yes, yes it would be a lovely way to burn a giant straw goat. hi sebastian!

I told my dad I'd be having breakfast with him AFTER Lindstrom. Now that's how you handle priorities, boys and girls.

😆, Sebastian. The townsfolk approach the goat in slow procession, torches in hand 🔥 🐐

Burning Goat....I'm taking reservations

oh that's a fuckin omnichord

The world stands still for this one

Fund drive goal for next year: send a delegation to Sweden next year to burn the goat

Part of our family's Xmas morning tradition for 12 years straight. Thanks as always Jon!

Imagine if LOW had done their Brooklyn concert version off Do You Know How To Waltz? except on their Christmas EP

@DanWade--- that save 20 minutes comment made me think of some punk comp that Yoni from KDU tried to play that was "stereo" but really mono since each channel had a different band recorded in mono so it had double the number of minutes/groups. you just had to play it 1 speaker at a time

when the bells go I think I am actually floating

This is the part of Lindstrom when I astrally project

Must say, hearing these triumphant drums and the Goat standing defiantly in a golden light certainly gave some points to the Don't Burn The Goat view

was the goat such a fixture last year?

Somehow I always end up listening to this in the shower. It’s meditative.

Goat wasn't even on my radar until this year.

@Lizbot, gonna say it again I'm totally watching Wickerman tonight after the marathon ('73 version, not the nick cage crap remake)

oh thank god we've got some lyrics to hang on to again

I never heard of any goat until this long day

DR at least someone needs to walk around it with a flaming torch at the moment of lindstrom

@Jason - 🧐… 👑 🐐‼️

@sebastian did you know the shit Wicker Man was dedicated to Johnny Ramone?

some very endriss lyrics to be sure

The Gävle Goat is Rookie of the Year 2022

I wish I had a flaming torch right now. I would absolutely be waving it around

sounds like a chorus of yetis

im sweating

Dennis posted a video to his Insta and then it was double Lindstrom in my house and that's way too much Lindstrom here

@eliza no idea. was it a "hate" dedication cuz they knew it was crap and johnny was a dick

shared my earbuds with my wife; she managed to hang in there for about 4 minutes

I would like this song to not end please and thanks

Here we go

yes, amen

@sebastian it's a Neil Labute joint so I think the delusion that it was good was there

and now the emotional release

HERE WE...oh Dan already said that.

it's pretty intense how we've all joined the cult of the Goat together after just being introduced to its omnipotence yesterday--- but it IS the way, the truth, and the light. JOIN US!

I'm ascending!

we have it blasting here! we love you Jon Solomon! no where else can you hear this

Are we there yet???

break on through!

I called this "an endurance test"

covering the dogs ears

Techno rockin’ part

I AM IN THE IONOSPHERE.

How many peeps are going to have goat ornaments next to their snail ones?

This is when thejesus blood candy cane red kicks in

@Alana that's blasphemy! never enough Lindstrom!

@Sebastian Petsu - A true folk horror classic. I showed Hattie Wickerman for the first time this Halloween. Up next; Wickerman II: WickerGoat

maximum volume

Absolutely PRAWNING rn 🦐🦐🦐

Thanks Lizbot for making us aware of the Gavle Goat Thanks Baby Geniuses podcast Wiki of the Week for making Lizbot aware of the Gavle Goat Thanks Jon Solomon

Jon, please follow up with the version of LDB from Jonathan Kane

n you imagine someone crusing through the area and spinning the dial and finding this?

i feel like i finally understand this song

I'm jawning rn

@Liz Bot you should check out the 3 hour folk horror documentary on Amazon if you haven’t seen it: Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched

Every time I tune in, something different and delightfully interesting! Love it, Jon!

immersed in it

You just kinda have to give yourself over to it.

The goat officially made it to Christmas Day, so goat prevails

This is where he becomes a Little Drummer Man.

Big Drummer Boy

haha dennis

Mary that is a great doc

Obscenely ginornous drummer guy

It's like the Voltron assemble part of the song

boy's got stamina y'all

Big Drummer GOAT

office chair dancin' with Jon

There’s also a giant folk horror box set meant to accompany it that is expensive but worth it

I had to change my socks, I expect to need to do it again before the end

Little Ommichord Boy

it's a rolfing

Ok back to ascending to a higher plane of existence with lindstrom

I love the climax of this

I believe the moment when he becomes a Little Drummer Man* is called a BAM mitzvah

the jingles the jingles the jingles I am ded

... there's a 45 minute hologram stuck inside this R2 unit....

🥳

Lol maria t

🙏🏼

@MTS 🤣🤣🤣

Now breathe everyone.

hi everyone from the hospital where my mood has been improved by the power of lindstrom

Awesome amazing just hell yeah. I love that track so very much

*note to musicians: Also a great, mildly insulting phrase to use when a drummer is getting annoying with you

HI DANA

Hello Dana, hope you are on the mend!

Yay Dana!!!!!

thinking of you, dana <3

She emerges!

Dana!

hey Dana glad you're feeling better. thanks for checking in! Also, woooo that Linstrom climax gets me everytime!

My bff asked, "Is Lindstrom when Jon Solomon eats breakfast?"

hi everyone!! love you all and hope you are having a Happy Day

hope you get sprung soon dana

shoutout to citizens bank logo on Jon's hat

He might be doing something else

Dana, still in the hospital? Boooo, but glad you're back in chat

Glad you’re feeling invigorated by the power of the Strom!

it's when he eats b'fast or gets rid of it. sorry everybody.

Dana good to see you! I hope you get out soon!

bleep bloop boop

That's where I was going Dj

no emergency nap?

phew

I’m feeling a lot better than I was when I came in last night but they’re keeping me around a little longer

Mike C - yeah, the chat sometimes comes in spurts - as r. hell might say. yep

Hopefully back to 101% soon Dana K 💙

I mean, I sometimes have to lie down during lindstrøm and I'm running the show

I mean 101.3%

Last year was the first time i was listening when Lindstrom was on and I had the radio on downstairs and the stream on upstairs and they were a little off from each other and it was fa-reaky. Great intro

lol @Dj

NOT

stupid typing mistake

I dont know you but feel better Dana K - also, don't you hate how LONG it takes a hospital to discharge you? man i hate that. pls - feel better

That's what I did @ Commie....fired it up on you tube 5 minutes after it started

when this is over, I'm just gonna blast Hex-Mas Enduction Hour on repeat until my family leaves

Health and healing to all 💟

Was finally in the bath for Lindstrom, but sadly no one threw a grapefruit at my head during the peak. Oh well, next year 💗

im sad I missed Snaildartha!

thx tenderloin! it does take forever but i don’t want to risk having to come back. also sad i missed snaildartha (it’s usually on during my drive to my family’s)

@Dana - feel better! hope you get out soon!

jerry wishes you a speedy recovery i'm sure Dana K. Also - this story is so good.

LOVE this story

Take good care, DJ Dana K! Put an update in the chats often! Sending fast healing holiday vibes! Kind regards to you! 📢📢📢

MrM! happy days to you!

🖤💀

NEVER REVEAL!! They're gonna kick him out of the guild...

The Cars works so much better than the Final Countdown. Sorry G.O.B.

Now I want Pizza Hut

But in, like, 1988

There's pizza?

Set things on fire. I would want a seat near the exit.

I've worked for $12 and pizza

Trying to figure the final six hours out, I fear the Sabbath set is the thing that needs to go.

it was gonna be $13 but Rian Murphy made me give back a dollar

There's something about "Magic" that sets the hersher-iffic tone of this story.

(bad luck)

Ramones at 12:34, Misfits at 1:38, can't squeeze some themed sets between. Fall, JRLP both overflowing (in a good way).

Sad to see the Sabbath set go...

Me too but I'm crunching some numbers here!

Still wishing you a friendly breeze Dana.

Oh Dan

I have an idea on how to swing this for 2023 that makes sense.

you're like lorne michaels

I hope The Fall set makes the cut

With your host and musical guest, Jandek!

Fall set has to be part of the marathon. Do not fear.

Oh Dana that sucks. Hope you feel better soon. I listened to last year’s marathon ina hospital room. Was so thankful to have this to listen to.

Let it be what it will be, DJ JonSolomon! Just enjoy it!

lorne michaels! Ha!

omg at least the peel fall

Sense is a precarious construction.

As a sickly Spoilt Victorian Child I request the Fall set stays

Take a piece out of each set?

Give me the pieces I'm hungry

The Fall The Fall The Fall .... you know the rest

true

hey boss - if you need to push my ramones debut to next season i get it no worries - you've been more than kind to me this year and i wanna do my part. I wanna help make the numbers work! much luv

Always the same, always different, John Peel saying "The Fall"!

No way man. I have a plan!

26 hour show!

ok but do sabbath next year, i can wait

I would have liked VU and Sabbath before Snaildartha.

Well, ain't no rules till someone makes 'em.

the show has been great. no wrong moves

NAT KING COLE ♥️❤️♥️

Jon is a mad scientist he will pull this off with a little Christmas magic

exactly Patrick - this year's show has been excellent! there are no bad directions!

Goddamn it. I was doing my makeup to get ready for fam shit...sorry guys...

Rest well, BRW 🖤

i'm sorry i'll miss the end, but i hope the host survives, the goat goes down in flames and Dana K get jailbroke

this is so elton

Aw, "White Wine in the Sun" is one of my favorite Christmas songs.

Didn't get a chance to play in 2021, now the guy who requested it each year isn't here to hear it.

BRW?

I’m cry

@eliza, My cousins are Doctors, I feel like wearing makeup , but it doesn't play well with my beard.

can't wait to see how the marathon lines up with the basketball game!

Oh, is this the all-tears set?

tears....

I broke!

Oh Mim

oh no, these are too many emotions

🖤🖤🖤

oh jon

(tears)

LOW 💔❤️‍🩹❤️♥️❤️‍🔥

Love you Jon...let it happen...

Oh man oh no

Right with you there, Jon!

hug your robot son

Feeling things rn

oh jon this is too early for the tears

This song always breaks my heart… and this year JT breaks it ina different place.

😍💔😍

Emily and I sobbing over here

the best

It and in a. Spellcheck is a duck….🤦‍♂️

I probably shouldn't have just posted that Tim Minchin song on my FB page. It perfectly aligns with my views on Christmas, but will probably annoy extended relatives and co-workers. Oops. Merry Christmas!

I need some dumbshit after this

Sholders are

that was beautiful, thank you Jon.

❤️🤍💚💛 Merry Christmas

might be alone in my hospital room but glad i’m not alone in crying with y’all

oh. fuck

Aww, DJ JonSolomon•Wife ❤️🤍❤️ Happy Holidays!

oh man was waiting for this

He was a huge presence! BRW lives in our thoughts and hearts.

P-22!!!!

Well, I see I kicked the right moment to power back up.

it's a little dusty here 🥲

Those sleighed me, both...you weren't alone in your emotions

the best biggest cat :(

MORE TEARS

pspsps :'(

Very beautiful, Jon.

WestSiiidddeee meow 😿

hit by a gd car at the end and unable to recover :(

Call any vegetable and your chances are good.

Had about a dozen issues. 💔

White Wine in the Sun tip: if you say Steven Jay Gould real fast, it has the same number of syllables as Dawkins.

yeah, but a hero to everyone who lived in Los Angeles, our big fuzz

It is TIME

And a pretty cool existence too. CoolCat

I am Los Angeles 🕶

The Ramones are how I learned to count. Unfortunately, I can only count to 4.

More tears for Brendan 😭

Listen sniff glue they count all the way to 8

1 2 3 4 TEARS!

I lived in Thousand Oaks and LA was dredful. The 405 was my recurring nightmare.

@Brendan numbers 5 to infinity are overrated.

WOO WOO WOO

more Christmas Homecoming

okay "all wrapped up and ready to go" is the kind of dumb genius I needed

Can't tell if this singer is Evan of Biohazard or Taz the Human Suplex Machine

THE RUHMOANZ❣️

gobble gobble hey yes

Gobble Gobble Gobble Hey!

I might have to have a shot of wild turkey! gobble gobble gobble hey

THERE ARE NUMBERS HIGHER THAN 4 IN A RAMONES INSPIRED SONG?

@ DJ. Have 2. Shots are small

Gobble Gobble Giggle 🙊 Turkey Lurky Jurky 🦆

Carlos - so am I!

I wish I took longer to hit send. 🦆💨

Dad gave me a shot of liquor to the start of this song and my face never recoiled so hard at the taste of rum before

@Mr.M💀😂🤣😂

Rum?! Oh, yum.

Not just moans, but RAMONES

I can only count to three in french

Bloody Marys here

I haven't had a real drink in nearly a year... My taste buds are all eeby deeby

YES

cah-truh!!

thanks boss ! you are too kind

SONK

SHA LA LA LA SHA LA LA LA oh happy days

Jon Solobot great to have you back friend....

Oh, Jan

*Jan Brady

Eliza - yes

Banana splits la la la would fit in nicely here

@DJT yeah refresh is not working whatsoever

DJ busy, eliza rohr

Please be patient and keep arms and legs inside ride

or the christmas song sung by the Sha La Das

DJ JonSolomon, this playlist is not gonna update itself 🙊🙉🙈

merry ramonesmas! https://djtenderloin.bandcamp.com/track/sha-la-la-jingling-at-the-moon

tendy

@DJ that was rad as hell, thank you for your service!

I'm on it Mr M

I know, Sir! Cheers!

Tendy, you've done it again!

Gracias! It is truly my pleasure...

Which one of you jokesters got me an in-ground pool for Christmas?

Big thx to the boss man! forget Blavet - Jon Solomon is the real boss with the xmas hot sauce

Galve Goat not on fire as of yet, but light DO give it a warm orange glow

Where is the Goat Firestarter!?!

just checked the cam, Jon is in the midst of a Christmas gathering. LOL

(my audioscrobbler chrome plugin is pulling the playlist from something called radio rethink, fwiw)

Was

I think we're at the 80% point no? math

My parents stopped by to say hello.

careful what you say, DJ T. The Geator's got a posse

The Twisted Goat Firestarter!?! 🌀🐐🔥

Very cool.

SAY HI FROM S

FROM US

they look tired, Jon...shouldn't they take a load-off on the couch, just for a minute...

(too excited to type)

LOL

hello parents from solomon!

I just noticed the sign behind Jon that the reindeer are unionizing. Good for them.

Ha. I got my photo of them in their Xmas gear, that's all I need.

Overtime after 8 hr shift for the reindeer

I have them on a shirt, and I'm proud

@Edith, Math is not always proven. Love math.

And paid family leave

I LOVE THIS SONG

#Night8

My roommate went to take a nap. I told her if she sleeps through The Fall I will do a reenactment of the introduction. She said I will NOT. It's okay; she's wearing a shirt to remind her how it goes. 😁😁😁

@Carl have fun without me (and fuck Ticketmaster)

Ahahaha

oy vey!

Alana, you should do it anyway

Oi! Vey!

Oh Android I wish you could play a video AND music at the same time.

@Eliza Ugh, yes, fuck Ticketmaster.

I've already programmed her over the years to respond "The Fall?" to every instance of the words "The Fall." My work here is done.

Excellent work ma'am

We will have all eight antlers of the Moose Menorah ablaze in about 4 hours.

Moose Menorah is an objectively great name for a band. I'm adding it to the list.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

She looks amazing in her shirt too: https://www.instagram.com/p/CmkbIjWpXi0/?igshid=YWJhMjlhZTc=

Cool Carl. Warms up the house too. Good timing this year.

Moose Menorah! Did you buy or make?

Ho ho ho, let's go!

nice, Alana!

fyi - i will hopefully be debuting my Fall - Misfits mash next Christmas - basically Jon Solomon's christmas dream becoming real...

Slappy Happy HollyDays, AlanPasnyk!

Really digging this mash up!

misfalls

@Alana Gift from the Alaskan in-laws. https://mastodon.green/@CarlZimring/109570997538966051

Ticketmaster is not my black neighbors go to.

We are one-uh 38-uh

It's MAJESTIC

Not sure how well Mastodon links work, but that's supposed to be a picture of Night 7

@ Mr. M. Same to you! Mr. M. Happy Holidays!!!

Love the Ramoms!!!

Brunch eaten, presents opened, Marathon continuing—all is well this WPRBXmas!

@Carl I'm not on Mastodon and I saw that link of the moose menorah just fine

@Carl I was able to see it just fine and I don't do SM other than my Insta house account

And Moore Merry Wishes to you, Joe! *6 hour delayed reaction ☮️

Ah, thanks. I'm still new on Mastodon and am getting used to how it works.

Official Mike

DJ MikeLupica, why so serious?! 🃏

Ahehehehehe

I must share that Little Drummer Boy took up the ENTIRE drive to pick up Grandma Lagasse, with it perfectly ending as I pulled up. Then we laughed together in the car to the magician story

Holiday Cheers to you, TAndy!

@chef BAM

@Chef, it's that kinda magic.

What time I’d The Fall set?

has anyone made a "Jon's kids take out the recycling"-themed Christmas track yet?

What time is The Fall set?

it's a pita present

Is the Hour 21 gift hummus?

Yesss I can’t wait for the voice changer

Boy, girl, & *robot* voices?

man use that voice thing right now on the air!!

like a transformers voice changer

That's Scharpling's voice modulator

Scream franchise Re-enactments

@Carl, please clue me in when you get the Mastodon thingy. I started to join the Music server, but I am off balance with it and didn't.

Merry Christmas Jon (and everybody)

OH MY GOD

I'm on mastodon.green.

Dude, wow.

Dan, you are awesome

wow! rockstar!

this is huge, Jon!

DarthSolomon

I asked Andy for 5 radio friendly minutes. He gave me 22 minutes and an f bomb

Does this now count as the most famous Twitter RT...but better?

I’m on a call with the folks so had to pause listening. DONT WANT TO MISS THE FALL SET THO

this is huge Petsu - wow . the big time!

Let's hear it for the Quakers

Reformed is half of my folks. They all sound like Jerry Gordon, Makes me happy to listen in every Friday.

Schminky

Thought Spiral Marathon. Two Jews, Two Mics, 25 Hours. Starting nowwwwww

I think silence is kind of "their" thing Chris Mohr.

schminky - short for schmindrick

Darlene Love ‘Christmastime for the Jews” ❤️

Srsly Andy Kindler! What a get!

That explains it, DJ Tenderloin!

Rogue Wave - Christmas for The Jews

It is, Jon, it is

"Give It" "A Shot"

bravo

That was awesome

pretty friggin cool

Jeeeez

“Let's hear it for the Quakers” 😹🤣

Holy Cannoli

it almost sounds like those little moo-cow thingies

Sounds like AM radio

oooo nice feedback

Could be a song

Top Tech Gift of Xmas 2022-2029!

Every pastry is holy, MrM

I liked the feedback

I agree and concur, ChrisMohr

Sheesh, I thought Killbot showed up!

When does the voice change?

I thought it was Hendrix

so that didn't go as well as I had hoped....:)

The minimorph would have lasted about 3 hours.

OK, I have to head to Queens. Have fun everyone and Merry Xmas!

@-ᎷяM, those triangle buggies are a road hazard to this day. Curious, but a hazard nonetheless.

Happy Christmas, Eliza!

Safe travels Eliza!

Bye!

Jon: My only request that you don't collapse during the final hours of the Marathon!

Have the good time eliza!

Alan, You are gonna make me watch the just in case cam again. :)

CHEERS, eliza•rohr❗️🎄☃️❄️

You have talked me out of it, Alan.

is this what it feels like to be on ayahuasca

What is Rofflestomp on about???

Anyone read Bruce Adam's new book _You're with Stupid: kranky, Chicago, and the Reinvention of Indie Music_?

PewPewPew!!!

Finally back on laptop. Hello Jon-camera!

@Solob0t, I would like to have Bruce on to talk about his book in 2023.

How ya making out? Less than 5 hours left >:)

@-ᎷяM, I am the mystery. Where I belong.

KRS-ONE ❤️

@ Jon: Last year I had to get up early for the Rocket Launch, this year the house was so damn cold I went into hibernation mode...

we should all be making out at this point

Fresh cup of hot coffee ready for misfits time

Rofflestomp, triangle buggies? Quakers? 🧐

Actually it’s lukewarm :(

@JonSolomon: Yes, yes, yes, a million times yes. You have to do that.

I bought it sight unseen. Huge Kranky fan. And there's no way I'm not going to purchase something that reviews bill as "a book-length love letter to Labradford."

yesssssssssss

AHHHHH

I think about this one a lot.

Rock bell jingle jingle

yeeeeeeeeaaaaah

ahahahahaha

OMG!!! THIS IS THE GREATEEST XMAS EVER ! THANK YOU JON SOLOMON THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!

i think about this song a lot

My favorite

Bell jock ringle

tell 'em, man, say it

this song going out to my single remaining braincell

@maura @mary bell bell bell

It's agreed - it's the greatest

bell roooock jingle bell roooooock

Roommate is probably so pleased she's asleep right now

Rooooock bell rooock bell

@-ᎷяM, The Quackers drive horse drawn buggies on Pennsylvanian roads. They only are required to have hazard triangles prominent on those horse drawn carriages.

Alana, I love your roommate, but she is missing out

that's the best present - thank you boss

Can't put my finger on it, but something about these lyrics seem off.

YAY

THIS

MAURA

Oh yes.

I got a big tree!

Iced shank!!!

WATTTTTTTT!?!?!?!??!

hell yeah! the SHANK!

YESSSSSS MAURA

iced shank!

🌲 🌲 🌲

EXCUSE ME

AW YEAH ICED SHANK

omg

ALL DAY LONG.

WHAT

maura lol

amazing

YAY MAURA!

hwat

Love Wet Leg, that was fast!

My introduction to Wet Leg was discovering Maura had done a song for the Marathon.

oh boy its almost chrisfits time

DANCE JON DANCE

so glad you played this again this year

Steven this debuted last year! Maura is ON IT

Oh my god this is. So awesomely awesome!!!!!!!!!

Hot by the fire.

God I love Iced Shank so much

I forgot about this from last year and am so happy it exists.

the shank rules!

by the yule log by the rock bell jingle

Incredible

Jingle Rock Bell and Yule Log - so many gifts....

Yule log extended mix please!!! 🔥

" . . . aware"

Way to short of a real rocker

Iced Shank of Gavle Goat remix

how's it goating

Let's GOOOOOO

Have the Misfats made any holiday music?

Lets goat!

hmm seems fine and no one's burnt it, I don't understand

yeah Maura!

I have to hit the road shortly. It was a blast! Everyone have a great day. Thanks Jon!

by the yule log by the goat grob

Need a BathBoy XMAS ReMiX!!!

drive safe!

My claim to fame is being friends with The Manischefits, whose song Hanukkah (in the style of the Misfits’ Halloween) Jon plays during his Hanukkah special I believe

if driving

Have a Happy One, Brendan!

thank you for doing what you do Jon!

Merry Christmas everybody! Thrilled to tune in for the Misfits set. Did I miss the Fall set?

Fall set next!!

Happy day to you Brendan, be safe on the holiday roads.

Hip hip hooray Jon!

Excuse me, hip priest hooray!

Did no one do bath boy really? I'm in suspense

Pardon me, DJ Pat! Huzzah!

Also currently hatching a GENIUS idea for next year

Alas nobody did Bath Boy...yet.

CommieFrancis, did you? Husband?!?

Merry Hex-mas Marathon, Pat!

We all fall for you Jon. What happens next is what we are waiting for sir.

I am your ElfBoy! So filthy.

Can’t believe there was no bath boy submission. It was right under our nose the whole time!

Bath boy might be criminal on Christmas. dunno, but there it is.

Missing Philly Boy Roy....but not really

Equine!!! Oh. Eat pie!!!

Merry Hex-Mas to you Chris!

Philly boy Roy is essential but I can listen on my own, assuming it’s been cut for time…or just cut

Horse pucky -ᎷяM. :)

L0LZ

oh this is sweet

it's tough pulling off an acoustic Misfits Xmas parody, and yet....

...that one does it perfectly

I think about Philly Boy Roy every time I see someone thrown out of a bar.

It is so

lol @ Jon

If the glove don't fit. And other myths.

If the glove doesn't fit, you must Misfit

"I waaaant presents"

There is a guy in my neighborhood that is a real life Philly Boy Roy. He’s in his 50s, long black hair down to his waist, always wears a flyers, eagles, or phillies hat and jersey with acid wash jeans. I love this man.

Zomg THIS 🎵🎶

@Mike, Proud misfit. I have a WPRB pin. :) Let them eat sake.

with that piano, that last one almost sounded like a mash-up with Tori Amos' Cornflake Girl

Drink sake or eat cake?

this one might be my fave

Nothing feeds my soul like someone singing Santaaaa to the tune of Motherrrr

lucky to see the misfits in 1983 in a church basement in DC. they were amazing. and genuinely scary to 16 yr. old me

Sake for sure -ᎷяM

Sake please

Sake Cake

Awww Hellz Yeeaahh! Pour me another slice! 🍶🍰

A fine treat

okay this is inspired; the joke was right _there_

Hey

No matter where you are, there you are Jannon.

Made it back for Ramones-o-clock part deux! Bummed I missed the queers and dj tenderloin tho

Did the goat burn?

Twice

https://youtu.be/d1afzE41MZ8

Jon Solomon introduces the Sonics

this is like the UBC sketch "now that's what I call songs sung in the style of two princes"

what time does the goat burn

This is off from last year in the time line, but who wears a watch when folks always are looking at their phones anyway?

Top of every hour

I use it to notify me to look at my phone!

Now we have watch phones

Yo CB - it's here - https://djtenderloin.bandcamp.com/track/sha-la-la-jingling-at-the-moon

Oh just kill me with that Mike! So true!

I realize I have listened to more Misfits Xmas parody sings than actual Misfits songs

what about a burning attack drone

I forget how the originals go now!

Thanks Tendy. I’m following you and Edith’s bandcamps now. I have the page open in separate tab to remind me to listen after the show. I love the Passover album cover 😆

Merry Christmas everyone!

This is a new one.

my BC is run by my label fyi, I run the Soundcloud tho

Love having a shirt that goes with the show!

thx CB - thinking of doing a hannukah remix of that song - here's where you can find my holiday mash record if you are so inclined - https://soundcloud.com/djtenderloin/sets/the-inevitable-dj-tenderloin-holiday-record

Just tryin to fit in. You guys are awesome all days 25 hours long.

(or I'd follow back of course)

Hey! Merry Merry! We've been listening all night but this is the first chance I had to navigate to chat! My brother Toby flipped out over the Iced Shank Yule Log song, and I told him all about you so you have a new fan. Haha

Josh and Garth!

Oh that Toby

hi Carl!

This rocks, Garth! Hi!

MerryChristmas!🎁🎄HappyHolidays!❄️☃️

Happy Cancelled Holiday, Rutabegas!

this is great

Carl! Liz!

Let's go sixers 🏀

Ooooh! The vegetable Will respond to you

lol tricked ya, you thought Jon was coming back NOPE

Love this coda.

This is really good Jon. Thanks for a cool ditty.

actually the bells coming in there worked nicely!

2022, a year with abundant great Rutabega songs

Sorry I was away from the chat. We had a visitor.

Sixers win!

Jon and I had family time at same time

whoop whoop

I'm still waiting on The Rutabega to take me up on my offer to go shot for shot at the Madison Oyster Bar.

@Mike Constantine do you know Toby?

Damn did I miss rock bell jingle or what is it

yeah cb

@Solobot meet you there in 30!

Ladies and gentlemen...

I will be there @Joshua!

Oooh yay Joel RL Phelps 💙

THE FALL

YAY

Happy Holidays!

What’s it called and by who? Also was there a wet leg song that played? I’m having trouble with the playlist

Happy Holiday!

No one knows my stuff here that is just fun, but my cousen. I don't know where to take it, but it's all good. Silly world.

Wet Leg was Iced Shank.

Fun fact: Solobot used to live in South Bend. Right by Howard Park!

Happy Fall set errbody

Thx jon

that rutabega song was incredible

Fall into Christmas...

Happy Falliday

I 2nd that - fantastic rutabega track

Jen is singing "No Christmas for Guppies" and I will not hear this the same way again.

Thanks @Maura & @Tenderloin ! Will get it posted shortly 💗

A little late, but that Iced Shank track was brilliant!

We should do a dopey zoom thing next year. Hoot per hoot.

thx y'all Merry <3

@Solobot WHOA! Do we know you irl? I really thought you were a robot 👀

Happy Holiday Richard and cute pup

CB, the other was Jingle Rock Bell by P.S. Tail, Esq.

Good King Wenceslas, silly bugger, he fell out!

Everyone in that area is basically a robot, Josh. Including everyone who works at Corby's!

Chicago Now now!

I don't think you guys ever got the chance to see me in all my robo glory. At the time, I was spending most of my time computing π at Notre Dame. And doing my best to avoid Fr. Hesburgh, who would CONSTANTLY interrupt me.

If not for bots the internet might have dead air time.

@maura I totally recommend their whole catalog on bandcamp. It's solid! https://theseknottylines.bandcamp.com/album/leading-up-to

NM, my hat is off to you for this entire album.

Edith, thx! Started working again and I just found it. I’ve got like 20 tabs open for lpost show reference. Also have a Spotify playlist of things I’ve discovered. (Sorry about Spotify. I use it to compile my radio programs)

OH HELLO

Markowski this is still the most crazy and beautiful thing

I haven't had a chance to hop in the chat yet, but I've been listening a whole lot! Brings me some real joy you're playing this song again this year!

(I shared the album last year with some Fall fans who are not marathoneers and they lost their shiiiiit)

I’ve got Neal’s band camp open in another tab too. What was the song of yours that aired? It was excellent. The pat metheny one?

hats off to you man - a feat unchallenged and quite possibly never bested in Marathon Christmasdom! Incredible

@solobot hope to meet in the flesh at some point. maybe not at Corby's or Oyster Bar tho... :D

Oh thank ya, CB! Here's the link - https://nealmarkowski.bandcamp.com/album/zero-tolerance-for-silent-night

My only regret is that I didn't finish another Fall album this year, but I lost a lot of momentum this summer when moving. Next year!

Thanks for bringing the tunes, Neal!

Thanks for the brilliance, Neal!

I share the same hope, @Joshua. At some point, Solobot will make the long trek back. But that stretch of the Ohio turnpike leading into Indiana is soul-crushing. Even for a machine!

Shucks, thanks to JON SOLOMON, the true reason for the season!

Also, did y'all catch that "Mommy

another whole ALBUM?! wow. incredible!

**"Mommy's Daddy/Daddy's Daddy/Santa" song yesterday? That was NUTS.

I can only imagine what Mark E. Smith's reaction to "Hexmas" would be. Either completely angry & irritable, or completely friendly & cheerful, hard to figure which.

This is so great but I have to leave chat to play Wahoo with my lovely niece and nephew. It's a wooden board game with marbles, basically like Trouble but no popomatic. We'll be listening tho! Xoxo

@CB. I fell hard for Maria T last night. Totaly woth it. That stuff is great. So glad for these exposures here on WPRB. Magic!

I'm off to see fam, but will haeve the show in one earbud. Thanks Jon, chatters ad all. Merry Chirstmas!!

EDITH FROST with the new user pic! 🔴 Cheers!

really?

I don't think he would have been amused.

not here

Neal, what other Fall album would you choose to cover?

Paul Hanley was friendly about it!

What the hell are you eating Solomon...looks good!

@Neal Great! He comes across as a very decent and friendly chap on the podcast and Twitter

Liz - split between "Slates" and "Wonderful & Frightening...". Started mapping both out lyrically earlier in the year.

@Neal Oh, 2 more of the best of the best Fall records!

@Chris - Love the podcast! Definitely seems good natured, though he and Steve should probably invest in a better mic.

Awesome!!

I see it now EDITH FROST. I just closed and opened my web browser app on my iPhone though so you know.

Oh yeah, the first season they just met in the local with their friends for a chat and it was hard to decipher what they were saying.

Solomon is doing a Kosher clenze. lol

refreshed & now I see!

lol

Fun timez!

For anyone who hasn't read Steve's book - he tells a story about them recording the "Jingle Bell Rock" cover.

@All Y’alls

you could even say it glows

I need to catch up on so much chat!

Where MES assigns him to find a record of it the morning they record the Peel session, but he can only find an instrumental copy - hence MES's total disregard for the lyrics/second part of the song.

Cheers to all the Dears! Especially those with Big Elf Ears!

Jon looks in love with his family. Nice.

I am NOT IN LOVE WITH PLAYING CHARADES right now.

Bha!

Include a "no charades" clause in the reindeer union contract?

Not radio frendly

hi Neal! i don't care for The Fall, but i care for YOU!

No charades for John Quays

Hark!

Watched the season finale of Andor now I’m back

thank you, Jon

People doing the wonderful people thing.Best of this world.

You are welcome. Three hours left!

omg

Gonna get there, rock this thing.

Loving the Fall set. Sounding great, Jon!

There is a ONE HOUR VERSION of this on YouTube but sadly it has added background music.

I get it now Jon, how you stay up so long. you just simply do it that's all

Of course

He said it!

https://i.imgflip.com/75hie3.jpg

I remember this from 2 years ago I think,

It's the Fall?

I used to think that the La Croix was the fuel you used to get through the night, Jon. You have barely had any this year, no?

The Fall discography

Wonderfall...

ROOMMATE IS AWAKE

SUCK IT

hahahahahahaha

I have had less tea / seltzer than usual but I have a ginger Whole Foods can out of view.

@Alan Good 'un!

I started about 12 years back CB. Always a good ride.

Try to stay a little more hydrated these last few hours!

At DJ JonSolomon!

Yes. I had a smoothie and a bit of ginger soother.

As you may or may not have picked up on, my throat is not at 100%.

theme weavers live are tight!

@-ᎷяM, I would pay good money to watch you drink.

I like to gargle with warm saltwater

like as salty as I can stand

TMI

L0LZ

I care more about what you do than what you say Jon. But I love your take.

for the throat you perv

Gift! Gift! Gift! Gift!

I mean

Getting ready to bathe in JRLP. Among my favorite Christmas traditions.

uh huh

for when you can't swallow

Pethie!

No. Not perv. lol. Just that task is kinda barfy level convo on the WestSiiidddeee. L0LZ

oh ok, yes tmi is kinda my thing

I wonder how many santa suits the gift priest has in their wardrobe?

it's a busy holiday season, giving you all those new gifts, dan

is this from the no-teeth era?

2011, so perhaps.

Jannon - CLEARLY

He certainly gives Joseph Spence a run for his garbled money

ah yes, the occasionally dentures era

Roommate: ...See, when someone who sounds like John Peel introduces a band, you don't expect them to sound like THIS

still the best

Hahahaha @EdithFrost! and also @Rofflestomp!

YES, YES YOU DO

Throat Coat tea has not been found to be toxic or made by nazis, right?

hi Jim!

Happy Days to DJ Pethie❣️

Hello

☕

I bet there are a bunch. I had a very good friend priest that was good friends with Carlos Castañeda at UCLA. Weird woks Dan.

I've been awake 29 hours and I believe I can fly

In "Ludd Gang," Smith wrote, "I hate the guts of Shakin' Stevens / For what he has done / The massacre of 'Blue Christmas'/ On him I'd like to land one on."

I definitely believe in Edith Frost

omg I love this one

I have had a lot of caffeine...

DJ Chester's theme from way back...

Happy Holidays, DJ JonSolomon Daughter!

Oh she walked away

After all of these decades, "Totally Tired (of Xmas)" is the earworm of earworms that rings in my head at some point of every day of every day of my life.

It is a gem.

She'll be back Mr. M.

I’m totally tired now yet thoroughly enjoying Xmas! I’ve been awake since the mid point of DJ WaveyCat was on air Saturday and am made of caffeine. 😳

This one is bonkers. Always loved it.

I can read my dog's thoughts now

agreed

It's not the end, but I can see it from here.

Edith is experiencing all stages of the 25 hour marathon now.

it's not the end until JRLP sings

Gosh, does anyone else remember the first time they heard "No Xmas for John Quays"?

probably on the marathon in 2001 or 2002?

Probably *on* WPRB!

the wee hours stuff was what I would miss in prior years. it was so fun

Please tell me your dog is named Chairman Meow @EdithFrost

I dated someone for a few months in college and tried to introduce her to the Fall via this song.

Her comment was "...It's just the same part. It never changes?"

Me - "Yeah, and it's PERFECT!"

did you scream "repetition repetition repetition" at her next?

Sorry. Bowie. My niece just also named her dog Bowie

New Big Prinz was my introduction. You gotta start accessible.

So great! Xmas with Simon really got me this time!

Ah-uh, aaaah-uh ah-uh!

Bingo Masters Breakout for me.

Liz - this is something I learned later!

Neal, that reminds me of a similar fight I had with my ex-wife about Miles Davis's "On the Corner"...

Imagine how Bowie #1 feels

diamond dogs

Mark Dickinson on WPRB in 1981, probably...

Nothing says discipline like Christmas, Neal!

my significant ex managed to find a copy of Hail the New Puritan for us to watch once (before everything was on youtube)

My Fall epiphany (if not intro) was the song Cruiser's Creek, and I want someone to do "Christmas Creep" ok

@Jannon, happin' perhaps. I love undedicated volume this day..

@Edith great suggestion!

"C-H-R-I-S-T"

but the first time hearing the Fall at all was probably via MHR on wprb ca. 1996?

(One extra letter, but somewhere to start!)

Have you all seen the "trailer" to "Yesterday 2"? The film where Mark E. Smith & The Fall never exited. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkqXyTwFt6g

Jean E. Sheperd

*existed

I’m with you Edith!

howdy! was gone for a bit. which one has shoulder pads on it? I had heard them before that, but that was the record i actually got into and played

DJ T: Bend Sinister

Neal, dudes on crosses is not okay. Just sayin'

durp

CM - yep that's the one

If Jesus grew up in LA he would've made a great surfer, walk on water etc.

So many folks sent me that "Yesterday 2" trailer.

The folks around the table at the very beginning just killed me.

rutabega | "cancel christmas" links if anyone would like... https://youtu.be/aJRT-Scq55M or https://soundcloud.com/theseknottylines/cancel-christmas

@Neal Same!

"You know, The Fall. John Peel's favorite band." "Oh, you mean, The Undertones?"

CM brutal

JWH - I will snag that from soundcloud - that was awesome

besides, I thought he said that song by the Moondogs was the best one?

CM - So good!

Everyone, check out the JonSolomon tv show streaming now on the YouTubes! Special Guest!

Every year, I hold out hope JRLP will release a Xmas LP

Maggie is very soft....

there's a delay between my stream and the yt :(

Agree JRLP xmas LP would be unreal.

A true Snaildartha moment right now!

There's some Jerry the Christmas Snail energy here

MAGGIE YES PLS

Does Maggie like Jingle Rock Bell?

Always good to have a "plan B"

It's Maggie's turn

Alana - good judge of abilities - does she like Jingle Rock Bell?

Solidarity with the #ReindeerUnion

Hey hey hey, Deth Elf documented the Elf Strike of 2018, we stand in solidarity with the reindeer.

I do like the idea of weird christmas music as family business...

Don't cross the reindeer picket line

Why do you think my nose is so bright

return christmas to socialism

Maggie 🥰

Build big straw reindeer and then burn it down!

It’s a family show!!

@MrM Yes, that's it!

Will Maggie's hour make it a 26-hour marathon in 2023?

I'd call into Maggie's roundtable hour.

Maggie's got a point, we don't talk about the January Christmas rides, the Julian Calendar, things like that.

Totally here for the roundtable on north pole politics

any reindeer are welcome at my wassail, just saying

STAR WARS ❤️

Andor 10/10

Baby Yoda Chia Pet 💚

Sad Cereal Man is perfect

@Carl - I share that same long-standing JLRP xmas LP hope.

Happy Christmas DJ JonSolomon Daughter!

No Xmas for Quinoa

Mm, quinoa

I am so hungry and the Chinese place stopped taking orders before we got ours in

I'd help crowdfund JRLPXMASLP

Happy Christmas, Maggie!

no xmas gnocchi

Bravo Maestra Maggie!!!

Phelps! YES!

brava maggie

Oh this is GOOD!

Only one night a year! Your dugher nailed it in a very nice way.

Woot woot to Maggie 😁 Could the spin off show be a 24 hour Halloween music marathon? 🤗🤣🎃

it's kinda like going to church on Christmas with your parents

Nice

get the tissue box ready y'all

Phelps, Definitely a Christmas tradition here...

We're back home after catching The Fall set starting with Totally Tired on the way via my wife's smart phone

So this way up volume stuff. Nice

I'm usually at my mom's/with family at this time, so it's nice to actually be able to hear the show at the end for once.

I would sneak a listen when cooking in the kitchen, but miss a lot of it.

playlist?

Entering.

lindstrøm, the fall, and joel phelps are my annual "can't miss" segments—so I guess it's good that I'm often alone on christmas

I'm like a backseat driver

The guitar tone on this one!

Rejoice! You have no choice!

harmonica solo!

Makin' my day yet again Jon!

Joel, if you're out there, a happy and healthy new year to you and yours.

Wonderful. This guy is such a legend.

This day asks no end tho.

My favorite part of the marathon, every year.

Jon, will archives be available ? I missed the 1am-8am - can I dnld playlist?

Two playlists are up 5 pm to 5 am and 5 am to 6 pm

Burn it all down! Glad to be here.

❤️❤️❤️

a dance remix!

The goat has not been burned down

but why

it's christmas

Solomon FamBam!!

The goat is meat. Sorry, but it is so. Moving on...

the goat is hay

Some Dama/Libra vibes

I gotta say that this Phelps set is a Beautiful way of Wrapping up Christmas Day, Thanks!

this is majestic

kinda like a huge, burning goat in slow motion

yep

Yes, a Lama would not approch such a thing. But the devces of this soul do evil that I cannot resist.

This is always so lovely

Just beautiful

Deep breaths.

It is a good breath.

I thought there were digital archives of the show too. Has that not happened for the holiday marathon because it would break the EnterWebs??

There _are_ digital archives Mr. M. They're currently being moved over to the new marathon.christmas.

When that's all done listener songs & stories from 2015-2021 will be available to review. As well as playlists from 20022. And probably several other things besides. Stay tuned!

awesome man. lots of songs I haven't been able to track down

Happy Holidays from Sight Unseen FM! Peter and Emily here; enjoying every hour of this program. Thank you Jon !

JonSolob0t! Ah, that’s great! Thanks for the information! From the year 20O22?!? That’s almost too UnPossible to believe!

I'll be posting a different piece that debuted during the marathon daily at facebook.com/keepingscoreathome starting tomorrow!

This set has made my day. Thanks Jon. Thanks Joel.

Nice set indeed, I hope we're all here in 20022!

It's Chistmas Time by The Qualities if there's time

Well, I certainly intend to be here in 20022, but then, I’m building a TARDIS.

20022 is not a typo. Now is as good a time as any for you all to learn the hard truth: you're living in a simulation. A simulation I'm generating.

In the year 20022.

floating up towards the great glowing orb

Can you simulate me a rickenbacker guitar? I’ve always wanted one.

Better a simulation than assimilation..

Jon your show has been a real treat. I remember the days before internet broadcasting when I had to position my FM radio just right to pick up WPRB in Union County. Happy Holidays to all of youse guys.

RENEW! RENEW!

Always glad you're out there, Jeff.

The portal to infinity is wide open, Edith. Enter Carousel and renew!

Jinx Jon Solomon.

There was once a near-gavle experience in Philly

@Mary, but of coarse, silly me.😄

jons, that is my favorite movie of all time no joke

I have a framed poster hanging in my kitchen.

As intense as Heard on High is in 85 degree and sunny Cartagena caribbean weather, this certainly made me jones for driving around dark Jersey roads in December.

ugh

Not a very realistic depiction of robots I'm afraid, Edith.

There is no sanctuary!

Circa 2008, an energy drink company set up a towering piñata at Broad and Washington

There was a great shop in Chicago on Addison near Wrigley that if you told them movies you liked would call you if they got a poster in.

I think that mall still exists

They invited the public to gather and, at a signal, swarm the piñata once it has been smashed with a wrecking ball

@Jeff, thank you, back atcha, cheers!

I am box!

a team broke out of the bubble and stormed the capitol

Overwhelming, am I not?

Oh my god what happened at the piñata, was it good chaos or bad?

Liz and I were in that crowd, and then they announced with less than a half-hour to go that it was canceled

Noooooo

They told everyone to disperse

the book had a lotta sexytimes omitted from the movie

oh no this one always breaks me

look at your palms!

are folks making Logan's Run references? I was out of the chat for a while and can't figure out where this tangent started

man haven't seen that movie in years

That night I walked by and the piñata was glowing eerily backlit by streetlights as the cray paper fur softly flapped in the breeze

lol I'm sorry, I started it

love the "no time left for you" quote

EdithFrost, what movie?? The internet was useless and I have a headache.

there was a song that made me feel like I was floating up on lastday

I was filled with a desire to shoot a burning arrow into it

Logan's Run

yep - Logan's Run. Jenny Agutter - hubba hubba. are you allowed to say hubba hubba? you know even though it makes one sound like their 100

they're

starring Michael york, jenny agutter and FARRAH FAWCETT. And Peter Ustinov

yeah but farrah is in it for like a second

@George did the piñata survive? It did we get a blaze of glory?

that movie does rock

No hubba, Bubba

Run! Run, runner!

speaking of which, can we get a goat check

WHAT IS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE THING THEY'VE EATEN SO FAR TODAY

Guess I better check out all the hullabaloo

goat intact

(looking for menu ideas)

I checked, the goat persists

I had my marathon lunch / dinner which I simply call "Christmas" as in "can I have a bowl of Christmas, please?"

My husband had a habit of giving his friends a dvd of Logan’s Run whenever they would turn 30.

I need the goat to “spontaneously combust” or I will! 😡

Rice, ginger, garlic, onions, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, carrots?

LMAO

mary jones - that's funny

For the under 30s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wjXpTDuHiE

Watching the sun set while listening on Christmas Day...and yes I have a poster of Farrah...

I’ve fallen off with the cat but I’m still hangin. My longest run with the show ever, 23 hours.

In the book it worked in groups of 7 years so it worked out to you die at 21 or something, I forget

okay that's it for me, love you all. till next year

i had nice home made cookies

Yeah, it was a shame when we ran out of people turning 30!

I fell off the cat. Meow.

but they couldn't get enough young-looking extras or something lol so they made it 30

oh yes, this!

Good night, Jannon!

With the *CHAT

I had some lovely pound cake, @Chef 🍳. How 'bout you?

just finished lunch. We had heaping plates of Christmas

I never fall off with the cat, ever.

glorious

😹

Wearing my shirt from The Clean. RIP Hamish

Edith, I think the movie is a lot better than the book. I like that it was mostly filmed in a shopping mall in texas, and it LOOKS like a shopping mall.

hell i might do carousel right now - where do you sign up for that anyhoo?

Alas I had no arrow. The company later wrecked it away from the public

everyone's saying the goat will definitely survive this year, he just has to go through renewal

I think Pete Buttigieg is in charge of the Carousel these days Tenderloin. Shoot him an e-mail.

Used a tiny amount of the footage for an ad

and yes, DJ T, I ha a crush on Jenny Agutter even though I was seeing it as a TV rerun

@jon your Christmas sounds delicious, and @christine oooo homemade or store bought? Apparently Stock's pound cake is famous or somethin

from american werewolf too.

totally sebastian, and like the weird fountain amphitheater thing, I wonder if that's still there

And hmmmmmmmmmm my mom made delicious sticky buns from scratch this morning

Cheers to Jannon Sonja Stein!

I'm so grateful Joel shares these with us. One of my favorite hours of sound (recorded or otherwise) in the whole year.

I saw it way too many times at like 14 so I might've got some weird ideas about... stuff

@Emeril this robot has been enjoying some nice Irish whiskey.

This track is a real knockout.

Glorious

Solobot - have you had the tyrconnel?

I could have cut two songs from this set but now that I'm cooling out listening to the whole thing I'm glad I didn't.

Solobot - https://www.thetyrconnellwhiskey.com/

it's a whole vibe

The set has really evolved over the years. I remember when he used to post these on his Soundcloud.

This is fantastic

I will ask him to Soundcloud them again next week.

good choice Jon - this is so cathartic

These songs demand space! I'm very cool with it.

I have Tenderloin! But my go to fav is Slane Castle. I'm a Powers robot when it's not WPRBXmas.

Please do, Jon

This one in particular is keeping the hairs on my arms in maximum goosebump mode.

@Chef, it's homemade cream cheese pound cake with little chocolate chips baked by my sister. Love!

Another fun Solobot fact: my Christmas tree is decked with the metal Powers tags that used to come with every bottle. They look great next to all the white lights.

Power to the Powers! you know what's not bad - The Pogues irish whiskey - though i usually don't go in for the gimmicks so to speak

Yeah, Carl. It's just so rich and full

more of a bourbon man, solobot

Not ash, but it's snowing in Gävle.

I don't think I've ever tried Pogues. I'll have to add it to the list. Never could get into bourbon, for some reason. Tho I do keep a few bottles of Scotch around for *extra* special occasions and the odd after-dinner dram by the fire. This machine runs on peat!

Soooo grateful you didn't cut anything from this set.

would be hard to keep it alight hmm

EDITH FROST is a hoot! Join chats eryday, thanks much.

Solobot - Christmas tree is decked with the metal Powers tags - that's friggin brilliant! i love this idea

Edith, you're doing the whole thing!! I missed a few hours overnight.

ChocoCoins?!! Yumz!

It helps to have many, many bartender friends. I don't think I'm physically capable of accumulating this many Powers tags through sheer force of consumption.

I think with enough firestarter it should be fine

yes Liz I'm transcending the shackles of consciousness

This is the most like Darlene Love Joel has ever sounded. Darlene Love and Crazy Horse.

well then solobot you're simply not trying hard enough

Bag 25 was dark chocolate gelt.

:))

Phenomenal

My gelt is a beautiful sunset here in Bucks County...

Delicious.

What a closing number! Thanks, Jon! Merry Christmas everyone!

Trust me, Tenderloin! It's not for want of trying. There was a time this robot could drink enough whiskey to stun a team of oxen. But mercifully, even robots reach an age where that's just not practical, or advisable, anymore.

What was the song about gelt last night?

Oh that’s right we got another hour! It’s like Christmas all over when you lose count!

Noice!!

FUCK YES

There's Gelt In The Stocking?

Yessss hail to the king!

✨️ Final hour ✨️

Solobot! Boy do I understand you - I'm but a shell of the man I once was! Also - you played The Secret Strain exactly at 4:20 - nicely played sir

CB - gelt in your stocking?

Thank you.🤘

I literally laughed out loud when this queued up.

I love Judas Priest

😉

Judas Diamond :)

This is a great Manowar track.

@CB - https://bmusikoff.bandcamp.com/track/theres-gelt-in-the-christmas-stocking

I will BURN the goat!

Secret Strain @ 4:20...that was all Human Jon, Tenderloin. This robot can take no credit!

Jon! Your snail shirt garnered many compliments/questions at the family gathering :)

Will not be here in chat long though, the volume of stuff to load is overloading my browser LOL

Has Penny showed up yet, btw? We have less than an hour left. And I'm still waiting for the key.

any one else see Mercyful Fate on their most recent tour. Soooo good. The King still reigns!

This is perfect.

I gotta remember to get the outsider music vol 2 that you surfaced jon

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Thx Jon

What we really have, is the laughter.

aw. we were pals on the badplace

Is the stream sounding a little funny to anyone else right now?

Yup. Static.

Yes. A touch blown out.

not really

Laughter, a goat, and a third thing.

There we go.

Thanks Jon!

And inside a half full can of V8

YES THAT'S IT

Oh my yes! APPLES IN RAZOR BLADES.

Much better now!

Wait.

Ah this one is a golden standard

I’m scare and cry

It wouldn't be xmas without the 5 zombie flesh eaters

This ScreamerClauz track is the best!!

I am a simple gal. All I want is "The Fall" repeated over and over again, Jingle Rock Bell, and this

ZOMBIE FLESHEATERS🧟‍♂️

totally forgot about this holiday classic...

smashed-in skulls!

Missed this the last two years!

yes more jingle rock bell!

Just gonna sit here, drink rye, and thinking about drowning puppies

I feel like I've had to turn this down at family functions before

The Moose Menorah is fully aflame. https://mastodon.green/@CarlZimring/109576625158825789

Kids LOVE this one.

Like Baby Jesus intended, Mare Bear

One year my little sister asked my mom..:What's a Trulah"

I'm afraid to ask, but I couldn't make out #6.

See, I would've played this one at 3am and that's why I'm not the professional.

Chag Hanukkah sameach, Carl!

Actually, don't tell me.

that was almost as good as GG Allin's version of the song xD

Chag Hanukkah sameach, Alana!

Everyone is cracking me up right now!

Sonics😍

I second that.

Carl, I've never been able to tell what size your moose really is. I imagine it's 2 feet tall.

(Sonics 💕)

One time I accidentally said "drowning puppies" in target

It is 46 feet and people try to burn it down every year.

(No, Liz, you have the size guessed accurately.)

😂

I literally laughed so loud

I thought that was the "...bodies dead wrapped in plastic..." 12-days for a moment, that was played just before, but that is a DIFFERENT macabre take on the 12 days of Xmas

👻🤑🤠 @MaryJones 🏆 “Just gonna sit here, drink rye, and thinking about drowning puppies” 🥃 cheers!

Kind of surprised I hadn't heard of the goat before this year. I do love Swedish indie pop. I'll need to search Labrador Records' back catalog for goat songs I missed. I'm sure I missed something.

@MrM slainte!

@Dan oh no!

Oh dang, I missed the Belonging debut before JRLP

Oh hell yes setting up drums

Is the goat next years tshirt?

it could still be an elaborate hoax

🥁🥁🥁

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

I feel this one.

As long as it is not a snail on fire I am good.

Aren't we all just setting up drums?

A classic

CB. I hope so

This might actually be my favorite

@dan food for thought

it's just a straw effigy

Roommate likes this one without eyerolls

🥁 🪘 🥁 🪘 🥁

first to show up, last to leave.

This drums song should be paired with the Slade parody/tribute which just had one line over and over

been snoozing for most of the day but tuned in for this one

I just sent my kid a link to Ax-Mess on YouTube and said, "If anyone asks what your childhood was like, tell them your mom made you listen to this every year."

Christine, what's your other emoji (besides the drum)?

Aren't we all, Edith?

@Sebastian, you're thinking of the twin peaks version: http://www.glastonberrygrove.net/texts/tp12days.html

I still like the magnifying glass idea

This Alex Jonestown Massacree is a REALLY good Hold Steady impression

@Mr.M💀that is a rye smile you have after all😉🍻

Hi Rob! The second emoji was a long drum (djembe) emoji.

[John Lennon voice] drums

Goat update: It's now snowing on the goat. Still not on fire

I sent their song to Craig Finn and he was amused with how much of his sound they captured.

Final Thirty Mins?!

@Sebastian, Number 6 included that Twin Peaks 12 days of Christmas song on his last FREE4ALL show this past Wednesday.

I’m cry.

@Chrstine, Did Number 6 and I both play it back to back?? Ha!

Hi Christine! Thank you, Emoji Queen

@Dan, how cool about the snow

@Dan you may have, but sadly I had a work meeting and didn't get to listen to much of your show on Wednesday. 😔

Did you know that experiments with people placed in environments with no time cues suggest that our bodies expect a 25-hour day? Supposedly the tension between that and the 24 hour reality spur us to adapt.

Holiday Cheers to you, Ambrose Hughes! 🥃🥃

Just play the Sublime thank you track

oh I feel like a nice dram would cure my assmar right now

@ Jon: A Sincere "Thank you" for warming up this refrigerated house at my new location in Doylestown Pa. on Christmas. Wishing the best for you and your family in 2023! Take care...

Dram drone dispatched, Dana.

well, here’s the one that makes me cry!

not that there aren’t several others - but always this one

thanks for playing may fav 2 2020 Xmas tracks from that years show back to back Jon! And thanks everyone foe reminding me it was the 12 days of Twin Peaks I was thinking of!

@Dana K - Same

The next one is the one I catch the kid singing to herself sometimes. Shhhhh.

I'm slowly walking around kicking fallen party balloons

Did I miss Half Man Half Biscuit “It’s Cliché to Be Cynical” or was it not played?

It is the "there might be time" song.

Aaaahhh I love this song

YESSSSS!!!!

So good!

(I decided there is time.)

THANK YOU, JON!!!!!

🖤

🎄😭🎁

Perfect.

🙂

I hope we all make it to next years show healthy and happy. Been grand spending time with y’all. Maybe next year I’ll be painting the new house. 🧡💛🤍

DJ Dana K, follow medical professional’s directives! There’s 11 other days for the Hennessy!! Take good care! Happy Holidays and Kind Regards to you!

Still my all-time marathon favorite

🥳 🎉 💯 🎁 🎊 Thank you, Jon! This has been tremendous.

Edith your profile pic! 👏

Great show Jon. Thank you so much. And thanks chat for the kind words and good company.

yeah it finally showed up

HMHB "Trouble Over Bridgewater" but not my hometown of Bridgewater Twp., NJ

Every time I mention a Celeste on the air I will think of you

Dan, thank YOU for all you do / have done behind the scenes.

♥️ 🎄 ♥️

I saw it and I shouted out with glee

At least this year my dad didn’t make me turn off the marathon like he did when we were driving out to my aunt’s house

Merry Christmas, Dan Wade! Thanks for keeping us company.

Oh this is beautiful and joyful, thanks Jon! Just what I needed to clean up from the festivities!

Happy Holidays to all! I love this show. I don't want it to end! I did get some sleep though

Thank you, Jon! Lovely spending this time with everyone! Cheers!

Thank you again Jon!!!!!

thank you Jon & family

It’s officially the 8th and final night of Hanukkah y’all ✌️ 💟

Catching the end 👁⭕️👁

Jon, did The Law start you on your #WPRBXmas journey, or was it something else that inspired you?

This has been a truly great marathon, Jon. Thanks again for all you do to make this possible.

Chris, great question and one I'll need to sleep on.

Edith: thank you for the Loren Mazzacane Connors wee hours album rec. The next time you see David Grubbs, let him know this robot is a huge fan and I would short circuit if he ever considered writing a Christmas song about me.

I have thoughts but can't compile them presently.

👍🏽

Jon, thank you from me and my wife for this year's marathon!

I want him on Mastodon!

You are a radio star, Jon! 🌟⭐️🤩

You are so very welcome, Rob!

And Jon too for that matter heh

Jon, thank you. This has been a great way to spend Christmas.

DJ JonSolomon! So impressed with you and your excellent marathon! It was fun to witness the magic every hour! Big cheers! Happy Holidays! Sleep well! Stay Swell! Kind regards to you and your FamBam!

This was my first time, and it was glorious! Thanks a ton, Jon. Happy holidays, everybody!

This robot salutes you, Jon Solomon. I literally would not exist without you & without WPRBXmas. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you've done & continue to do for this ragtag group of misfit listener toys.

Wonderful spending Christmas with you all!!! Cheers, Jon and Family:)

thanks Jon, for another great year and all the hard work that went into it. And thanks fellow chatters. it was nice spending time with you-- both folks I know face to face and new people. And those of you who also contributed new tracks, I'll be buying a bunch of stuff on bandcamp tonight and tomorrow!

C u Sebastian!

Thanks Jon! Merry Christmas!!

I wish I could thank you all with the depth and detail you deserve.

Billy Disease of The Law was a WPRB DJ in the early 1980s.

Thank you for another wonderful marathon

This year more than ever it feels like the marathon just started when it’s ending….

Sorry I wasn't present in the chat, but you were in the background of our Xmas with my brother and his kids and my kids and our friends visiting. And I left the radio on overnight so you were in my dreams. Love you always! Thanks for your service! You're the best! Xo to the family!

Thanks jon for everything
