17 Dec 2010: it's... "Festivus Friday"

[urth]

WOS "Mele Kellikkimakka" -- there really is NO good version of this silly tune.

Dave had one he played a number of years back (2002? 2003?) done by Chris Isaak and Kenny Dale Johnson that sounded like it was done live in the studio at KFOG. I haven't heard it since, but I remember thinking that one was pretty darn cool.

BOS5 Dar Williams, a clever and delightful lyric, tho' the orig studio version has more snap than this acoustic take.

NTM, and co-BOS among the songs along with "Christmas Wrapping."  This is quite nice.  But I can't keep straight Dar Williams, Lucinda Williams and Victoria Williams.

Dar is the one who isn't crazy. Victoria is loopy crazy, with a really whiny voice, and Lucinda is a little more twangy, and she's crazy as a shithouse rat.
