Go back on January 4th. Will have some different plates in the air for that time instead of the usual ones. I will celebrate the end of this heinous year with pickle juice as is my tradition. Coming up on 15 years sober next April. I'm happy to be listening under headphones. 😁
	12:41pm Steve Mayone: Listening in Fredonia NY where about to get walloped by snow. Thank you for keeping me company! Happy Alcoholidays! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t8kST0gRn68&list=RDCMnDYWxOxeU&index=3

	12:44pm KlausVonB: Congrats Krys O. Especially this year.
	12:44pm Joe B: ha, playing this brothers gibb tune tomorrow! a seasonal classic!

	12:45pm Roberto: Yass Krys!
	12:47pm Roberto: Yass Teenage Fanclub + Big Star!
	12:49pm egould310: I’m reading the Chris Bell/Big Star biography. Fascinating.
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: What great hook makers!
	12:52pm egould310: Primitives so jangly!
	12:52pm Bill in W.O.: Enjoying the variably peripherally and directly seasonal tunes so much more than "Christmas Music". Thanks, Pseu.
	12:54pm Pseu Braun: HEllO allz, happy work anniversary to Krys "KO" O, and season's greetin's!
	12:55pm Hughie Considine: I recently came across the Primitives doing "As Tears Go By" -- and it's peppy and jangly to the max.
	12:55pm Krys O.: Thanks!
	1:00pm word: Thank you skeleton crew and Pseu!
	1:01pm McGroovey: I'm interrupting my police-car-chase video watching to say "Great show so far, Pseu!". I'm keeping the sound off on the car chase videos.
	1:02pm wendy del formaggio: Hello Pseu! Hello friends! Special shout-out to Krys O.
	1:04pm thor83: lol @ closing time
	1:05pm sully510: Ok I’m bummed out now
	1:05pm Woo: Jeopardy - they are saving the last Trebek episodes for after New Year. The last one was originally scheduled for tomorrow but that was changed.
	1:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Wendy. A cheesy Christmas comic for you (and any cheese lovers): www.gocomics.com...
	1:07pm Pseu Braun: WENDY! lovely to see you here!
	1:07pm Sam: “I’m not a party pooper, I just want to be thrilled.” - Pseu the wise
	1:07pm KlausVonB: I had a feeling this Martin Newell track would be played today. Thanks Pseu!
	1:09pm wendy del formaggio: @KenFHP: Yay, thank you! That reminds me of a tumblr page that makes me laugh every time I look at it, and many of the entries are stuck in my head. https://cheesepeople-blog.tumblr.com/ Enjoy!
	1:09pm Krys O.: The many years I worked retail killed Xmas for me, especially when I worked at a record store and the corporate office gave us one cassette to play on repeat ad nauseum. I get a bad visceral reaction to commercial Xmas music. I'm standing at a bus stop in Orange waiting for a bus. Will be making my ersatz Polish food to approximate the traditional meal that we had growing up.
	1:11pm McGroovey: Yeah, listener Brian and I have extensive, deep discussions of closing time. I hate it--partly because I actually LOVE the "B" section of it (what are the word? "I know [something something] wanna take you home, [etc]", but the verses are soooo lazily written. Like, they couldn't spend a little more time and make all the words not sound like the first draft? Especially the line "...go home to the places you will be from..." Ugh. Awful. Sophomoric writing. eewwww. People tell me they have other good songs, but I'm afraid to get my ears burned. .... You got me started.
	1:11pm wendy del formaggio: Thanks, Pseu! Lovely to be here. I wish you all the best in the new year.
	1:12pm Pseu Braun: Thanks, Wendy - same to you !
	1:12pm Aric: You gotta love Nada Surf.
	1:12pm Therese: I have so much love for YOU, Pseu!
	1:13pm Joe B: definitely a top 2020 tune right here
	1:13pm tadpoles: Thanks for Martin Newell...brought to my notice by FMU a million years ago and loved ever since. Quite under appreciated outside the FMU umbrella which is a shame as he is a genius in his own way. Cheers.
	1:14pm Pseu Braun: THERESE! MWAH! xoxo
	1:15pm Pseu Braun: Cheers, Joe B wishing you all the best. xoxo
	1:15pm NikiA: wow lovely horn section
	1:15pm Shawn: Merry Christmas, Pseu!
	1:16pm McGroovey: I need more Martin Newell in my life. My introduction was the album he did with Andy Partridge, which I love. I need more.
	1:16pm Krys O.: Wendy! xxxooo
	1:17pm Aric: WFMU doesn't come in on my brother's stereo in Westfield. I'm holding out leaving for there as long as I can because of that fact. :(
	1:17pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Merry Christmas Pseu and all of youse!
	1:19pm Aric: @Pseu, do you even get wfmu on the radio where you are in central jersey?
	1:20pm Pseu Braun: yes, Aric. I placed my Grndig in the SE corner of my room.
	1:20pm Pseu Braun: Grundig, I meant. Also, comes in fine in the car.
	1:22pm Aric: Maybe it is the stereo, then. :/
	1:22pm The Donut King: Abba = Christmas to me!
	1:23pm wendy del formaggio: ABBA! ❤️
	1:27pm Mr. Palchepo.: Wow. ABBA sound more like The Who than I remember.
	1:28pm Mr. Palchepo.: Correction. This song sounds like The Who never mind.
	1:29pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Pseu! I’m having a post–grueling workout soak in my tub, and your show is the Calgon to soothe my physical and psychic aches! Thing With a Hook, take me away!
	1:30pm Pseu Braun: Gaylord! Soak it UP!
	1:32pm wendy del formaggio: @Gaylord: Hi ❤️! And maybe Pseu will play “My Bathroom is a Private Kind of Place” by American Standards. If not, you can just sing it to yourself.
	1:32pm pgalub: Happy Hookmas everyone!
	1:33pm Lizardner Dave !: JONESY!
	1:35pm slocker: I want Chinese food!
	1:35pm Gaylord Fields: Wendy! ❤️ A former WFMU on-air personality had that song on a constant loop in their bathroom!
	1:38pm wendy del formaggio: @Gaylord: Perfect! Now I wanna know who that is. I’ve looped the very beginning, where she sings “Myyy bathroom...”, to play on my show. Another Psychic DJ Cx moment?
	1:38pm Andres: Terry circa Fun Boy Three at the peak of both worlds.
	1:40pm Andres: Spiced Gouda!
	1:40pm wendy del formaggio: Thanks, Pseu! That’s quite a condimental collection you got there. Aged gouda (any animal!) will go with all what you mentioned.
	1:41pm Woo: Yeah Y Pants
	1:41pm Rui Maia: Greetings from north portugal! we're such great fans of wfmu here! hooray!
	1:42pm Gaylord Fields: Wendy, I’ll tell you offline. And yes, this counts as a Psychic DJ Cx.
	1:42pm thecarvelsnyc: Hi Suzy! Lynne & Steve Pang here, listening to you on our way to sister's house in Atlantic City! Happy holidays!
	1:42pm wendy del formaggio: Mansplaining Vaginas. A social media scourge, and a great band name!
	1:43pm thecarvelsnyc: thecarvelsnyc.bandcamp.com...
	1:44pm thecarvelsnyc: Hope to see you at Otto's in 2021! 🎆
	1:45pm thecarvelsnyc: Hi Gaylord!
	1:46pm Pseu Braun: I'm not Suzy but OK
	1:46pm eastvanhalen: Ha, saw you at Euclid Records and the Circle Bar with Lexi a couple of years ago!
	1:46pm Listener Robert: Since I moved into a house with a water softener (installed by the landlord to protect their plumbing and water heater from the limey ground water supply), if I use soap (e.g. a cake of Ivory or Dial) in the bathtub, it produces a bubble bath whether you wanted one or not. Just blow thru a soapy washcloth and you're covered.
	1:48pm Pseu Braun: Wish May Pang would check in more often
	1:48pm Joe B: If you knew Pseu-zy ...
	1:49pm thecarvelsnyc: SMH 😳🤣 Still love the tunes, been a long time since we heard Basement 5
	1:49pm thecarvelsnyc: May is Steve's cousin, no joke!
	1:49pm efd: Merry & Happy, Pseu and DJ White Russian! Enjoying the show while not sitting in front of the computer for a change!
	1:50pm reverie: enjoying the show from south fla
	1:50pm Pseu Braun: Happy Xmastime efd and sherrinista!
	1:50pm Joe B: I recently read that May Pang is in the group chorus on Happy Xmas War is Over, never realized she was on the scene that early
	1:52pm Listener Robert: Plus there's a paper filter that if you don't change, after a while the water flow rate is so low, it takes twice as long to wash anything. And if the electricity fails, you have just 5 toilet tank fills from the pneumatic pressurizer.
	1:53pm Gaylord Fields: @thecarvelsnyc: Hey hey, Lynne and Steve! Fancy meeting you in these parts!
	1:53pm Mister Dobalina: Excellent show so far....Pseu.
	1:54pm DjLorraine: It's my first time visiting Pseu's show. I'd like to join the WFMU listeners and start my holiday merriment. Hi to RevErie
	1:55pm rich the greeb: All that Lox talk really made me regret going with tuna on my bagel and not the full lox and schmear. Fuckin 2020! Better bagel choices in the new year!
	1:56pm Listener Robert: But shower heads now are so low flow, you don't notice the difference when the water filter's clogged.
	1:56pm Micheal: Dig a Pony is my favorite Festivus song. Thanks for a great show and Happy Holidays.
	1:57pm Gaylord Fields: @wendy: I sent you an email revealing the “My Bathroom” person, as I believe in discretion (even when I’m in the tub).
	1:57pm Joe B: Let It Be was definitely a time for airing of grievances for the Beatles
	1:58pm vicki people like us WFMU: Youhoooo
	1:58pm vicki people like us WFMU: Is great
	1:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: Haha, true! And the Feats of Strength included John and George getting into a fistfight.
	2:00pm DjLorraine: I brought home a beautiful spanikopita today. It's lookin' good n flaky.
	2:00pm Joe B: ha yes Gaylord! hope it makes the new film
	2:00pm Andrew_in_WI: Little girls want Ginuwine singles
	2:02pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi Pseu! I was a pony lover too, had all those plastic horses and horsey books. I hated Caroline Kennedy because that bitch had a pony! But let's make this a time of love so happy holidays to Pseu and everybody. The comments are one of the best things about WFMU. Someday we'll have get togethers listeners, right? RIGHT??
	2:03pm rich the greeb: Will there be any Lil’ Marcy coming up? I need to be terrified today.
	2:04pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: George was definitely the most Festivus-ready Fab! Don’t micromanage his guitar playing, and DO NOT touch his digestive biscuits! He’s got a lot a problems with those people!!!
	2:04pm HyperDose: That's the plan Lizzie! Would be awesome to meet some fellow listeners to talk tunes and network
	2:05pm rich the greeb: My bad I meant Little Marcy, I conflated with lil markie.
	2:06pm Joe B: @gaylord - ha, exactly
	2:06pm Deborah: Greetings! Holiday cheer to everybody. Cleaning up my dead computer disaster and grading papers until Sunday. And so it goes.
	2:08pm Joe B: @aylord - maybe I will play the murry wilson rant for festivus programming next year
	2:09pm Andrew_in_WI: My old friend Betty Marie on vocals here
	2:09pm wendy del formaggio: @Gaylord: Thank you, and I understand. When I get home from work I’ll read and respond.
	2:12pm Pseu Braun: Hey All who have emerged recently!
	2:12pm egould310: This is a great Quilt song. The whole album is great. All of their albums are great. What a great band. To conclude; great!
	2:14pm rich the greeb: Hiiii Pseu!
	2:16pm Dennis Diken: Season’s Greetings to Pseu & all!
	2:17pm Woo: Hi to Dennis Diken. Oranger is great!
	2:25pm Dennis Diken: Hey Woo!
	2:25pm Krys O.: Hey, Dennis!
	2:27pm rich the greeb: Leave it to Ray to write the best Christmas song ever!
	2:28pm garlic lover: Boom <3
	2:28pm Dave in VT: did they change it from "beat you up" to "tie you up"?
	2:30pm Krys O.: Finally home and radio is turned on for the katzenjammer cats to enjoy too. Waiting for my Chinese food delivery. I honor my Jewish heritage on the 25th that way. Tonight is Polish Catholic food or as close as I can come to making it during a pandemic.
	2:33pm Doug in JC: Just popping in to say Happy Holidays. or Happy No Holidays, that's fine too.
	2:35pm Rock Ridge Chess Club: Hooray! It's 2:30, let the drinking begin. Cheers

	2:47pm ?: holy crap it goes for a lot ! https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/5435408?ev=rb
	2:48pm Dot: Happy Hanukkah Pseu! 🕎 I've wanted to send you a comment or email for the longest time. I've really enjoyed your show while working from home this year.I have a reminder set to always turn your show on Thursdays. Thanks for the great holiday music today!!!

	12:27pm West Trenton Vinnie: Somehow I'd missed that Kim S. was a Pixie briefly, RIP, a true great!
	12:28pm Roberto: Yes, apparently she was dispatched from the Pixies for stage diving. She was too good for them anyway. And I love the Pixies!
	12:30pm Joe B: greetings Pseu and everyone
	12:31pm Fletchernyc: ❤️❤️❤️
	12:31pm ratso: Kim was too cheerful to be a Pixie.

	12:38pm KWilde: Happy Holidays to all WFMU listeners
	12:38pm egould310: ETBTG yes! This is such a beautiful song. Thanks, Pseu! Happy Holidays.
	12:39pm Hughie Considine: Aw, this is really one of the greatest yuletide gems of all.
	12:39pm Woo: Last night I found a flyer for a club where my band was playing on Thursday and Throwing Muses played on Friday. Two bucks. That was in Providence in the 80s. Things was cheap.
	12:40pm Andres: Afternoon Pseu and Hookers! Glad to be here to hear and sometimes to comment. All gold so far today!
	12:40pm NikiA: Lovely song. I love Christmas. Happy Holidaze all.
	12:41pm Krys O.: I work for an industrial printing company and we discovered this year that we're considered an essential business. It's been busy actually. We close between Xmas and New Year's. Go back on January 4th. Will have some different plates in the air for that time instead of the usual ones. I will celebrate the end of this heinous year with pickle juice as is my tradition. Coming up on 15 years sober next April. I'm happy to be listening under headphones. 😁
	12:41pm Steve Mayone: Listening in Fredonia NY where about to get walloped by snow. Thank you for keeping me company! Happy Alcoholidays! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t8kST0gRn68&list=RDCMnDYWxOxeU&index=3
	12:42pm Krys O.: Ooh, I'm just passing the FMU transmitter! (Waving at the waves)

	12:42pm Andres: Weakerthans!!!
	12:43pm Jeffrey Davison: Holiday greetings Pseu and all!
	12:43pm NikiA: Congrats on almost 15 years, @Krys O. Big accomplishment, esp through this year. Stay strong.
	12:44pm Faye: wow i was just thinking about how weakerthans always remind me of my christmases as a teen
	12:44pm Joe B: stay safe Krys!
	12:44pm KlausVonB: Congrats Krys O. Especially this year.
	12:44pm Joe B: ha, playing this brothers gibb tune tomorrow! a seasonal classic!
	12:45pm Joe B: also works for easter time!
	12:45pm Roberto: Yass Krys!
	12:47pm Roberto: Yass Teenage Fanclub + Big Star!
	12:49pm egould310: I’m reading the Chris Bell/Big Star biography. Fascinating.
	12:51pm Hughie Considine: What great hook makers!
	12:52pm egould310: Primitives so jangly!
	12:52pm Bill in W.O.: Enjoying the variably peripherally and directly seasonal tunes so much more than "Christmas Music". Thanks, Pseu.
	12:54pm Pseu Braun: HEllO allz, happy work anniversary to Krys "KO" O, and season's greetin's!
	12:55pm Hughie Considine: I recently came across the Primitives doing "As Tears Go By" -- and it's peppy and jangly to the max.
	12:55pm Krys O.: Thanks!
	1:00pm word: Thank you skeleton crew and Pseu!
	1:01pm McGroovey: I'm interrupting my police-car-chase video watching to say "Great show so far, Pseu!". I'm keeping the sound off on the car chase videos.
	1:02pm wendy del formaggio: Hello Pseu! Hello friends! Special shout-out to Krys O.
	1:04pm thor83: lol @ closing time
	1:05pm sully510: Ok I’m bummed out now
	1:05pm Woo: Jeopardy - they are saving the last Trebek episodes for after New Year. The last one was originally scheduled for tomorrow but that was changed.
	1:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Wendy. A cheesy Christmas comic for you (and any cheese lovers): www.gocomics.com...
	1:07pm Pseu Braun: WENDY! lovely to see you here!
	1:07pm Sam: “I’m not a party pooper, I just want to be thrilled.” - Pseu the wise
	1:07pm KlausVonB: I had a feeling this Martin Newell track would be played today. Thanks Pseu!
	1:09pm wendy del formaggio: @KenFHP: Yay, thank you! That reminds me of a tumblr page that makes me laugh every time I look at it, and many of the entries are stuck in my head. https://cheesepeople-blog.tumblr.com/ Enjoy!
	1:09pm Krys O.: The many years I worked retail killed Xmas for me, especially when I worked at a record store and the corporate office gave us one cassette to play on repeat ad nauseum. I get a bad visceral reaction to commercial Xmas music. I'm standing at a bus stop in Orange waiting for a bus. Will be making my ersatz Polish food to approximate the traditional meal that we had growing up.
	1:11pm McGroovey: Yeah, listener Brian and I have extensive, deep discussions of closing time. I hate it--partly because I actually LOVE the "B" section of it (what are the word? "I know [something something] wanna take you home, [etc]", but the verses are soooo lazily written. Like, they couldn't spend a little more time and make all the words not sound like the first draft? Especially the line "...go home to the places you will be from..." Ugh. Awful. Sophomoric writing. eewwww. People tell me they have other good songs, but I'm afraid to get my ears burned. .... You got me started.
	1:11pm wendy del formaggio: Thanks, Pseu! Lovely to be here. I wish you all the best in the new year.
	1:12pm Pseu Braun: Thanks, Wendy - same to you !
	1:12pm Aric: You gotta love Nada Surf.
	1:12pm Therese: I have so much love for YOU, Pseu!
	1:13pm Joe B: definitely a top 2020 tune right here
	1:13pm tadpoles: Thanks for Martin Newell...brought to my notice by FMU a million years ago and loved ever since. Quite under appreciated outside the FMU umbrella which is a shame as he is a genius in his own way. Cheers.
	1:14pm Pseu Braun: THERESE! MWAH! xoxo
	1:15pm Pseu Braun: Cheers, Joe B wishing you all the best. xoxo
	1:15pm NikiA: wow lovely horn section
	1:15pm Shawn: Merry Christmas, Pseu!
	1:16pm McGroovey: I need more Martin Newell in my life. My introduction was the album he did with Andy Partridge, which I love. I need more.
	1:16pm Krys O.: Wendy! xxxooo
	1:17pm Aric: WFMU doesn't come in on my brother's stereo in Westfield. I'm holding out leaving for there as long as I can because of that fact. :(
	1:17pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Merry Christmas Pseu and all of youse!
	1:19pm Aric: @Pseu, do you even get wfmu on the radio where you are in central jersey?
	1:20pm Pseu Braun: yes, Aric. I placed my Grndig in the SE corner of my room.
	1:20pm Pseu Braun: Grundig, I meant. Also, comes in fine in the car.
	1:22pm Aric: Maybe it is the stereo, then. :/
	1:22pm The Donut King: Abba = Christmas to me!
	1:23pm wendy del formaggio: ABBA! ❤️
	1:27pm Mr. Palchepo.: Wow. ABBA sound more like The Who than I remember.
	1:28pm Mr. Palchepo.: Correction. This song sounds like The Who never mind.
	1:29pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Pseu! I’m having a post–grueling workout soak in my tub, and your show is the Calgon to soothe my physical and psychic aches! Thing With a Hook, take me away!
	1:30pm Pseu Braun: Gaylord! Soak it UP!
	1:32pm wendy del formaggio: @Gaylord: Hi ❤️! And maybe Pseu will play “My Bathroom is a Private Kind of Place” by American Standards. If not, you can just sing it to yourself.
	1:32pm pgalub: Happy Hookmas everyone!
	1:33pm Lizardner Dave !: JONESY!
	1:35pm slocker: I want Chinese food!
	1:35pm Gaylord Fields: Wendy! ❤️ A former WFMU on-air personality had that song on a constant loop in their bathroom!
	1:38pm wendy del formaggio: @Gaylord: Perfect! Now I wanna know who that is. I’ve looped the very beginning, where she sings “Myyy bathroom...”, to play on my show. Another Psychic DJ Cx moment?
	1:38pm Andres: Terry circa Fun Boy Three at the peak of both worlds.
	1:40pm Andres: Spiced Gouda!
	1:40pm wendy del formaggio: Thanks, Pseu! That’s quite a condimental collection you got there. Aged gouda (any animal!) will go with all what you mentioned.
	1:41pm Woo: Yeah Y Pants
	1:41pm Rui Maia: Greetings from north portugal! we're such great fans of wfmu here! hooray!
	1:42pm Gaylord Fields: Wendy, I’ll tell you offline. And yes, this counts as a Psychic DJ Cx.
	1:42pm thecarvelsnyc: Hi Suzy! Lynne & Steve Pang here, listening to you on our way to sister's house in Atlantic City! Happy holidays!
	1:42pm wendy del formaggio: Mansplaining Vaginas. A social media scourge, and a great band name!
	1:43pm thecarvelsnyc: thecarvelsnyc.bandcamp.com...
	1:44pm thecarvelsnyc: Hope to see you at Otto's in 2021! 🎆
	1:45pm thecarvelsnyc: Hi Gaylord!
	1:46pm Pseu Braun: I'm not Suzy but OK
	1:46pm eastvanhalen: Ha, saw you at Euclid Records and the Circle Bar with Lexi a couple of years ago!
	1:46pm Listener Robert: Since I moved into a house with a water softener (installed by the landlord to protect their plumbing and water heater from the limey ground water supply), if I use soap (e.g. a cake of Ivory or Dial) in the bathtub, it produces a bubble bath whether you wanted one or not. Just blow thru a soapy washcloth and you're covered.
	1:48pm Pseu Braun: Wish May Pang would check in more often
	1:48pm Joe B: If you knew Pseu-zy ...
	1:49pm thecarvelsnyc: SMH 😳🤣 Still love the tunes, been a long time since we heard Basement 5
	1:49pm thecarvelsnyc: May is Steve's cousin, no joke!
	1:49pm efd: Merry & Happy, Pseu and DJ White Russian! Enjoying the show while not sitting in front of the computer for a change!
	1:50pm reverie: enjoying the show from south fla
	1:50pm Pseu Braun: Happy Xmastime efd and sherrinista!
	1:50pm Joe B: I recently read that May Pang is in the group chorus on Happy Xmas War is Over, never realized she was on the scene that early
	1:52pm Listener Robert: Plus there's a paper filter that if you don't change, after a while the water flow rate is so low, it takes twice as long to wash anything. And if the electricity fails, you have just 5 toilet tank fills from the pneumatic pressurizer.
	1:53pm Gaylord Fields: @thecarvelsnyc: Hey hey, Lynne and Steve! Fancy meeting you in these parts!
	1:53pm Mister Dobalina: Excellent show so far....Pseu.
	1:54pm DjLorraine: It's my first time visiting Pseu's show. I'd like to join the WFMU listeners and start my holiday merriment. Hi to RevErie
	1:55pm rich the greeb: All that Lox talk really made me regret going with tuna on my bagel and not the full lox and schmear. Fuckin 2020! Better bagel choices in the new year!
	1:56pm Listener Robert: But shower heads now are so low flow, you don't notice the difference when the water filter's clogged.
	1:56pm Micheal: Dig a Pony is my favorite Festivus song. Thanks for a great show and Happy Holidays.
	1:57pm Gaylord Fields: @wendy: I sent you an email revealing the “My Bathroom” person, as I believe in discretion (even when I’m in the tub).
	1:57pm Joe B: Let It Be was definitely a time for airing of grievances for the Beatles
	1:58pm vicki people like us WFMU: Youhoooo
	1:58pm vicki people like us WFMU: Is great
	1:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: Haha, true! And the Feats of Strength included John and George getting into a fistfight.
	2:00pm DjLorraine: I brought home a beautiful spanikopita today. It's lookin' good n flaky.

	2:02pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi Pseu! I was a pony lover too, had all those plastic horses and horsey books. I hated Caroline Kennedy because that bitch had a pony! But let's make this a time of love so happy holidays to Pseu and everybody. The comments are one of the best things about WFMU. Someday we'll have get togethers listeners, right? RIGHT??
	2:03pm rich the greeb: Will there be any Lil’ Marcy coming up? I need to be terrified today.
	2:04pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: George was definitely the most Festivus-ready Fab! Don’t micromanage his guitar playing, and DO NOT touch his digestive biscuits! He’s got a lot a problems with those people!!!
	2:04pm HyperDose: That's the plan Lizzie! Would be awesome to meet some fellow listeners to talk tunes and network
	2:05pm rich the greeb: My bad I meant Little Marcy, I conflated with lil markie.
	2:06pm Joe B: @gaylord - ha, exactly
	2:06pm Deborah: Greetings! Holiday cheer to everybody. Cleaning up my dead computer disaster and grading papers until Sunday. And so it goes.

	2:30pm Krys O.: Finally home and radio is turned on for the katzenjammer cats to enjoy too. Waiting for my Chinese food delivery. I honor my Jewish heritage on the 25th that way. Tonight is Polish Catholic food or as close as I can come to making it during a pandemic.
	2:33pm Doug in JC: Just popping in to say Happy Holidays. or Happy No Holidays, that's fine too.
