Hey everybody

Here it is just over a week away from Christmas. I still have resisted the temptation to play all holiday music although there are three tracks covering Winter (for Yule), Hanukkah and Christmas.

I'm warning you now, next week all bets are off.

Anywho, hope you enjoy the list this week. Gotta run, more stuff to do. Honestly, it's not like there aren't over 11 months to do all of this and frankly it's not a surprise that the season is upon us. But you know how things go...

I Just Can't Wait Until Christmas Time ... James Collins *
San Francisco ...Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks (for Greg, Suzanne and Brandon. Cheers!)
Yesterday Was A Good Day for Friendship ...Lucidalabrador *

Sooner Than Soon ... The Paupers *
Keep The Dog Quiet ... Owen Pallett *
Electric Company ... Orchestra of Spheres
Let There Be More Light Full ... Melissa Manchester
Father Winter (In His Heart of Gloom) ... Pacific Gold
My Fear of Animals ... Amos The Transparent *
Fix The Hearts of The Hollow ... Organ Thieves *
Hades Heart ... Jupiter Hollow *
Lunar Express ... Outliars

Thanks for listening. See you on the 23rd. And again BIG THANKS to everyone who supported the station in the last drive. Your cards and special treats will be sent out just after Xmas.
