Coffee Show Christmas 2008!!!

Oh, yeah! One of the very best parts of doing the radio show is programming the annual Christmas show! Some years it can be annoying for listeners if, say, the show is six days before Christmas; but this year was a terribly appropriate Christmas Eve! This year we had a bunch of new songs, including many mashups to mix in with old favorites. For Keith, the whole season is best summed up by Joseph Spence's haunting "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town!" He would also like to note that the one Christmas song he forget to bring up and play was The Residents' "Santa Dog!" We had a heck of a good time and hope you all had a great Noel!

Here's the playlist if you need to make an in-store CD next year that isn't annoying. (Hint, no more Manheim Steamroller. EVER.):
