24 Dec 2007: Return of the 10@10 Xmas Card!

[RGMike]

Looking forward to this. Predictions: J&Y, Kinks, Greg Lake, Ronettes, Feliciano, Brenda Lee. As I recall, Dave played the Carpenters the last time he did the Xmas Card and it was a bustout at the time. So I'm hoping he repeats "Merry Xmas Darling".

I listened to the 2002 Foghead Xmas card set last Friday while heading down to Tanforan to pick up a couple last-minute items (malls at Xmas--ugh) and heard nearly all of your predictions. The only two I'd add are the Waitresses and an outside hope for Chris Isaak's take on Mele Kalikimaka.

And so this is Xmas...

A greeting from a guy to his new husband. Once, years ago before I knew Dave was gay, I wrote him wanting to know why there were no same-sex greetings on the 10@10 card... "I hope there's not a KFOG policy against it", I said. Boy was my face red when I found out.

indeed, Waitresses are a must.  VHM Greg Lake, the orig version -- Joel Selvin played one of the re-made versions last nite and said it was "recorded in 1975". Some rock journalist he is.

Ooo! XTC! Orig issued as being by "The 3 Wise Men" -- and on Darlene Love's new CD, she covers this one and the writer credit is: Balthazar, Kaspar & Melchior. Tee Hee.

getting ready to leave on errands, but diggin' it.  I don't know if I shared this, but I was able to do Happy Xmas (War is Over) this year at Bethany UMC's Christmas program.  During rehearsals we had 5 or 6 year old girl singing along on the chorus at the end.  It was quite priceless, and we couldn't get her to do it in the actual performance, but sometimes things happen in rehearsals that are more precious than the performance you're preparing for!  Lennon wrote some great songs, eh?

How could I have forgotten the BBs?

[RGMike]

another VHM to Keb Mo's hard-to-find "Jingle Bell Jamboree".

Hooray for the late great Ms. Donohue.

So, will we hear from L-Dewd and "the Giver"? (10 Frink points if you remember *that* guy).

Was just wondering about L-Dewd...I'd forgotten about the Giver.

OK, you're three of six so far. I'd say the Ronettes are most likely of the rest, but how many songs have we got left?

Wow, Mele Kalikimaka! I wasn't truly expecting it, but I have no idea who's doing it either.

Aimee Mann? Tim Goodman went on & on earlier about how much he LURVES her Xmas CD.

I'd have never guessed. And I could be wrong, but the first track after the set sure sounds like her too. You'd think KFOG was getting a cut of her royalties or something.
