	12:27am chaos_in_LA_LA: Hot damn @aitch
	🥀 12:28am Handy Haversack: FINALLY! Though I have, I realized, been listening to WFMU Christmas shows all damn day, and there has not been a single repeated song. I don't like Christmas, but I love YOU, WFMU!
	12:28am Ryan: RIP jam master jay
	12:29am coelacanth∅: "
	🥀 12:32am Handy Haversack: HA! And the first repeated song of the day is RuPaul! I love you even more!!!
	12:33am Andres: But that was on Saturday, Handy.
	12:34am Andres: But yes, better the second time.
	12:35am mariano: Dawn Davenport!!!
	12:39am Cooh John: Mercy, Mon Ami.
	🥀 12:42am Handy Haversack: Greenpoint's own Mae West! Rex also had some quality Mae West Christmas smut to share today.
	12:43am slugluv1313: I WANTED CHA CHA HEELS!!!
	12:45am Ryan: Eww I worked at five leaves for a minute. 🤢
	🥀 12:46am Handy Haversack: I've never been, Ryan.
	12:46am slugluv1313: heya Mr. Pumpy -- do i sense a future project for your students? you know, Laibaching a favorite song, something like that?
	12:47am Ryan: But please tell me you’ve been to the turkeys nest, handy 🥺
	🥀 12:49am Handy Haversack: Ha, of course, Ryan. I've been here a long time. I think the last time I went in there was ... 2016? After an Iron Maiden show at Barclays and then drinks at Hank's?
	12:52am Ryan: Haha hell yeah
	12:53am Ryan: Mon Amie 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 BOSS DJ pew🚨pew🚨pew🚨
	12:54am Ryan: I’m rolling up some mistletoe rn
	12:55am Mon Amie: lol Ryan pew pew enjoy! Handy that's so crazy Mae West is from Greenpoint!
	12:56am mariano: Dawn Davenport's eating a meatball sandwich right in the middle of class!
	12:57am Ryan: I picture funkmaster flex screaming over these shows every time. That’s how I hear it in my head.
	🥀 12:59am Handy Haversack: Mon Amie, she was proud of it and would come back to do shows when there were still theaters here, from what I have read.
	1:00am Ryan: Wow I didn’t know about Sharon Jones. RIP Sharon Jones
	1:00am mariano: I had no idea Eartha Kitt did anything with Bronski Beat. Strange and wondrous world...
	1:01am bbxtina: I just finished watching the Divine doc... how bizarre and coincidental.
	1:03am Mon Amie: kizmet bbxtina! dawn davenport / divine forever...
	🥀 1:04am Ken From Hyde Park: I like how at most other stations, they run out of Christmas songs in about fifteen minutes, but at WFMU, the DJs bring them out for a week with hardly any repeats.
	1:11am Ryan: St Anthony got me back on my sad boy shit real quick. So good though
	1:13am Ryan: “That’s worse, innit? Then he’s ‘Mr Tony’ whereas I’m just ‘Tony, me mate’”
	1:13am Ryan: Audio Prozac
	1:13am mariano: This Kinks might be my favorite Xmas song. Great video too.
	1:14am BH: Cat news: one cat jumped in the bed with me this morning for the first time in about a month and a half (she had been going to other places in the mornings after the room was redesigned). Non-cat news: Brown marmorated stink bugs are making a run for the indoors lately, and i'm finding and flushing them. So another winter of being a war criminal towards those dumb bugs
	1:15am Ryan: Hell yeah Mariano and hell yeah BH
	1:17am mariano: In Honduras in the 70s they had this Santa that would ride on top of a van with the 4 megaphones, blaring out Xmas cheer. The kids used to throw rocks at him though so he'd have to go by at around 40mph. Very much in the spirit of the Kinks song.
	1:18am BH: in my part of the country (the midwest) we've been on a run of generic weather lately, meaning less thunderstorms in summer and no snow yet. So, a slight hindrance for the cause of inspiring people to stay inside.
	1:18am Ryan: Mariano for real?! I love that.
	1:20am Ryan: I think a lot of people are emboldened by the vaccine existing now, too, BH
	1:22am Ryan: Like when I realized this was the chipmunks, I hear funk flex screaming “AHHHH” and mashing the air horn
	1:22am mariano: Ryan: Yep, I can still hear his voice dopplering as he sped by.
	1:24am Ryan: Mariano I just lol snorted at “dopplering voice” vis a vis the whole visual
	1:27am Roberto: feLIZ NAVIDaaaaaaadddddd
	1:29am Cooh John: 3 songs for the second time today. Love it.
	1:30am BH: RyanL I think it'll take a few weeks and a dip in the curve (either directly correlated to a vaccine or coincidental) to crank up plausible vaccine-inspired behavior changes. I guess it'll be interesting to see what sort of urgency swings happen during all of this. Here in Missouri, the average of new cases may have hit the peak a month ago. It has been dropping for most of the last month (aside from Thanksgiving-related reporting quirks), but it still has a ways to go to get to October numbers. MO hasn't done a good job but so far it's been in the background while other states doing worse jobs get the headlines
	1:32am Cooh John: Merci, Mon Ami. Good night, Amigos.
	1:33am Ryan: Bon soir CJ
	1:34am chaos_in_LA_LA: None
	1:36am Ryan: Man fairytale of New York makes me feel like I’m 5 in the front seat of my father’s car every time I hear it
	1:37am Roberto: What, no F word?
	1:38am vinylarry: Hi Monamie, just woke up ... can’t believe me missed half of show, just in time for Shane & Kirsten. Last night saw the new Shane MacGowan documentary Crock of Gold, heartbreaking. This song never gets old
	1:38am Ryan: Roberto: it was the REALLY bad f word
	1:39am modern blaze: lots of parties.
	1:39am Roberto: Aw but it just doesn't feel like Christmas without it.
	1:39am Mr. Pumpy: Q: How many pairs of $15 dollar readers can I break in the past hour? A: A lot more than I care to.
	1:40am Ryan: HAHAHAHAHA in a terrible way you’re right. Roberto, I like you 🤜🤛
	1:40am modern blaze: @Roberto, yea and you doin' great?
	1:41am Ryan: “They’re wearing it”
	1:43am modern blaze: oh it sure will
	1:49am modern blaze: i wish to bring a dollar or two again if u will
	1:53am Ryan: WHOOOOOO <3<4<5
	1:57am BH: well, if the second verse wasn't enough, maybe the third verse keeps this song from being unironically covered by Christian rock bands?
	1:59am Mon Amie: sorry that went dark fast
	2:01am Ryan: I believe it to be the fault of the moon
	2:02am vinylarry: Yaz reunion live album killer for RSD 2019!
	2:10am herb.nyc: Lovely set of music! Whenever I think Christmas and John Waters, I think JEW (bec of Johns initials). Hallejewah!
	2:19am Ryan: That was seamless AF
	2:24am Mon Amie: this might be my favorite xmas song ever
	2:25am Ryan: Erasure is always good
	2:28am Ryan: Honestly just a tremendous show, as uze
	2:32am Ryan: HaHa sound is such a good one
	2:34am Ryan: I’m on the lookout for a song which thematically and sonically fits but I don’t wanna say which one 👀 hint: it’s an instrumental (actually an instrumental)
	2:35am Mon Amie: oh man what was it ryan? and vinyllarry, yes that'd be rad!
	2:37am Mon Amie: would be? i forgot what year it is lol...i sometimes miss out on the bmg mute reissues
	2:37am Ryan: I still feel like it might get played so I’m not saying
	2:41am Ryan: Oh probs not: au revoir simone “winter song” popped into my head. That “verses” EP was a good one
	2:41am chaos_in_LA_LA: such a great set. Thank you so v much
	2:42am modern blaze: i got one dark and long for the trouble of
	2:42am modern blaze: show you cong and we talk i mean it sisters.
	2:44am modern blaze: and now to the place of Germany we need a reissue of Land of The Freak!
	2:44am Mon Amie: au revoir simone is a good one! lol i'm into jesus territory now. thanks for the kind words chaos!
	2:46am Ryan: Don’t expect me to cry
	2:49am Ryan: Oh haha Jk just like honey might actually make me cry
	🥀 2:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Joyeaux Noel et merci, Mon Ami.
	2:51am littleplasticthings: This show has been one of the rare highlights in this dismal year. Thanks, Mon Amie!
	2:53am mariano: Wowww, have not heard this Smiths in ages! Thanks Mon Amie, great show. Thank you Darren, 'night all.
	2:54am Mon Amie: thanks for hanging mes amis, y'all have been the brightest spot in my year - have a good week, and see you same time same place next week

	1:22am Ryan: Like when I realized this was the chipmunks, I hear funk flex screaming “AHHHH” and mashing the air horn
	1:22am mariano: Ryan: Yep, I can still hear his voice dopplering as he sped by.
	1:24am Ryan: Mariano I just lol snorted at “dopplering voice” vis a vis the whole visual
	1:27am Roberto: feLIZ NAVIDaaaaaaadddddd
	1:29am Cooh John: 3 songs for the second time today. Love it.
	1:30am BH: RyanL I think it'll take a few weeks and a dip in the curve (either directly correlated to a vaccine or coincidental) to crank up plausible vaccine-inspired behavior changes. I guess it'll be interesting to see what sort of urgency swings happen during all of this. Here in Missouri, the average of new cases may have hit the peak a month ago. It has been dropping for most of the last month (aside from Thanksgiving-related reporting quirks), but it still has a ways to go to get to October numbers. MO hasn't done a good job but so far it's been in the background while other states doing worse jobs get the headlines
