Holiday Rerun: "I Can't Believe It's Not Christmas, Vol. 41" (a.k.a. Show 33) - this Tuesday Dec. 22 at 7 pm CST

 Hi! Pardon the delay (again)...I just zone out over the weekends.

I had a new show in the works for tomorrow, but I decided last week that I'd like to replay "I Can't Believe It's Not Christmas, Vol. 41" instead, from Dec. 2018 (Show 33). 

This was the one with non-holiday songs that sound like holiday songs. I'm still pleased with the way it turned out, and when else in the year would I play it? Since I don't repeat songs outside of occasional reruns, that's even more reason.

Plus, Christmas (and Thanksgiving) don't inspire me much. I can barely be motivated to get my kid gifts (but I do!), let alone hunt down Christmas songs every year. 

Holiday songs are basically the McRib at this point. I'm pleased with my 2018 concept, though!

But New Year's Eve/Day? THAT'S my holiday, and this year's playlist is gonna be dope!

 Greetings! Please tune in to Show 97 this Tuesday December 7 at 7 pm. 

This one has light country feel, and many Canadian artists.

(Kind of like when album credits say "100% MAPL" referring to Canadian music, artist, performance, lyrics. Why did I just notice it spells maple? 😄)

This show is also the second to feature the front and back of an album in the artwork spread (the other was Ewa Śnieżanka, Show 71). The back was too good to pass up (huh huh, that's what they said)!

Show 96: FC Gobble Gobble - this Tuesday Nov. 15 at 7 pm CST

 Hi! Tune in to Show 96: FC Gobble Gobble this Tuesday November 15 at 7 pm CST!

As I completed this playlist I realized it fits the 'French Commie' criteria: all Francophone and former Communist artists except for one track max.  

The last official installment was FC80 back in Dec/Jan, so we're about due - especially since the 80s NYE special next month won't meet the French Commie criteria. 

Thanksgiving is such a wack holiday (the iffy history, the idea of cramming everyone on planes/cars at the same time for a trip lasting less than a week, everyone buying food at the same time, Black Friday...wow the whole thing is such a capitalist scam...then throw in relatives you probably don't need to see, etc.)...so why not spice it up with some nice and nasteeee grooves? 

Rest assured though: there is no Thanksgiving theme involved.

Plus this is the closest we'll ever get to Thanksgiving, because 3rd Tues and 4th Thurs don't mix!

P.S. "Gobble gobble" refers to turkey, not that microphone. Pervert! 😄

Show 95: Covers Undercover - this Tues. November 2 at 7 pm CDT

Pardon my lateness! Tune in to Show 95: Covers Undercover Tuesday (tomorrow) November 2 at 7 pm.

This show features "foreign" songs and their respective "foreign" cover versions. This is in contrast to a band covering "Yesterday" or "Satisfaction", etc.

In a few instances the songs have the same title and can be visually identified as covers. In most of the examples though, the two versions are in two different languages (with different titles) and could only be identified aurally as being the same song. That means this show came together gradually over time, through general listening and luck.

In some instances, I'm not sure which was the original, or if both versions were covers of another version. Exciting stuff!!
