Christmas Ideas. I Have Them.

Tracy Ullman's incredible They Don't Know should be a sad Christmas song; there should be a version in which "they don't know about us" is replaced with "they don't know Christmas" "everybody loves Christmas".

You're welcome, Earf!! Tracy Ullman, call me! 🕺

It Was 20 Years Ago (Yester)Day

It was an all-time thrill, having my song Hope You Had Fun on the Smash or Trash segment of the all-time legendary Tom Scharpling's The Best Show:
For you Hayday fans out there, check out Greg on WFMU. Scroll down to the August 29 show and click. Scroll ahead to about the 2 hours and 30 minutes mark and sit back, enjoy.

(Some of you Marah fans & friends of Xmastime MIGHT recognize a few of the call-in voices 😜🤣🕺🎸)

I'm also glad to finally be able to post the clip of it here after all these years and don't worry yes I cut out the actual playing of the song (it's a great song but 6 minutes is 6 minutes, you can listen to it HERE.)

As I said 20 years ago (yester)day, enjoy!

Xmastime Pro Tip: Interior Decorating

Wanna double the number of wireless lamps in the room? Put them by a window at night - PRESTO!


What's the German Word...

...for suddenly realizing you're older than Larry David was when Curb Your Enthusiasm debuted? 😬

Holy Crap du Jour

A Note on the Interior Gatefold of The Beatles Red & Blue Compilation Albums

Did you really have to use the same photo for both? Really? NO others pictures of these guys floating around you coulda thrown in there for the fans instead? FFS it's not like now where we have access to every photo ever taken; back in 1973 you'd thirst for photos of your heroes like water in a desert. NOT cool, Apple Records! 😡


 

Sometimes I Scare Myself with My Own Genius

Should-be Hold Steady song lyric:

"And she said man Del Shannon almost ruined Runaway
When he stuck us with Hats Off to Larry,
And then she puked Mountain Dew Cake Smash Slurpee all over my Chucks."

1-Sentence Xmastime Web Series Review – Dugout Dads

Bringing together the cast of The Sandlot for some easy laughs mixed with nostalgia is brilliant; keeping the episodes to only 4-5 minutes is merciful genius.

I'll Say This.

There is no real making-lemonade-outta-lemons scenario about when AI flips the switch & eliminates millions of jobs overnight, but if I must find one bright spot it would definitely be that at least we'll no longer hafta hear about billionaires "wringing their hands!!" that if we'd only unleash them by eliminating taxes & regulations then they'd be able to create jobs, both out of thin air & out of some magnanimity borne from our being made to believe creating jobs is the reason they started their businesses in the first place, which is absolute bullshit that millions of fucking idiots in this country fall for on a fucking 24/7 basis.

Current Events

It’s kind of funny that out of all the who-fucking-knows-how-many people I’ve seen on tv screeching on & on about the evils of left-wing indoctrination at colleges across America not one of them has been a person who’s been a college student at any point within the last 20 years.

Hot Lobby

Some time ago Marley said the reason I've never seen the same person in my apartment building twice is because since its close to the airport it's a layover for assassins which was really funny until I started noticing that the two women who work the front lobby desk every night until 11pm are way too smoking hot for such a thing.
