Shangri-La, you should try your hand at coquito! I've not made it, but a colleague of mine who happens to be a native Puerto Rican made a batch for me pre-Covid and it was delicious! Very festive drink.

I think I'll do it, Pauly! I'll let you know how it goes. :)

My cat just sauntered over to me. Don't know if it's because she's hungry or digs the music.

As it is the season and all, I want to know the worst Secret Santa gift you've all received.

The secret element isn't totally required, but I feel like it somehow makes it more fun?

I'll start - two plain cereal bowls. :)

Apparently the gifter gave this same gift to someone else the year before me.

HyperDose:

Regifting actually happens? Thought it was just a TV sitcom thing
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:59pm
austinrich:

Yikes! As I try and decide what my upcoming "White Elephant" gift might be, the thought that I've done this all already is certainly on my mind.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:00pm
WR:

Was hearing La Lupe doing Fever and thinking it sounded very different than another version La Lupe did, which happened to be played on DJ Rubberband Girl's show on Monday, and then looking here, I see this version is titled Fever Boogaloo, emphasizing the Latin (re-)arrangement of the tune.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:01pm
austinrich:

I missed Dengue Fever? Damn. Need to tune in sooner.
Avatar 7:02pm
shangri-lounge:

Oh, it wasn't a re-gift. They just keep a theme going, and seem to buy cereal bowls for all their Secret Santa recipients.
Avatar 7:03pm
shangri-lounge:

Yep, this is the souped up version, WR! Funny that Rubberband Girl just played the other version this week. Whelp!
Avatar 7:03pm
shangri-lounge:

Oh no, I've never had to participate in White Elephant. But, the thought of it gives me anxiety!
Avatar 7:03pm
Mr Fab:

My wife's old boss gave everyone a pen that looked like a fish. She was rather annoyed by the fish-pen, as we dubbed it.
Avatar 7:04pm

Oh that's kinda lame, so you know what you're getting. At least cereal is awesome!

Lolll.

I hope it wrote underwater, Fab.

HyperDose:

These covers are SO good
Avatar 7:05pm
Mr Fab:

Ha, now that would have been cool!

I don't know about your firm, Shangri-La, but the firms I've worked for always have to have their logo on their gifts.
Avatar 7:06pm
shangri-lounge:

Nah, we're pretty small and non-corporate.
Avatar 7:06pm
shangri-lounge:

I like to tell people we're a "cool" firm.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:07pm
austinrich:

I'm leaning toward "Rob Halford Biography" as the White Elephant gift. Doesn't have to be a bad gift, right?
Avatar 7:08pm
Mr Fab:

hey Austin, I gave a novel by William Shatner once.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:08pm
austinrich:

One of those "TekWorld" books?
Avatar 7:08pm
shangri-lounge:

Ooo, I'm glad you like the covers, HyperD. I have a few more coming up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:09pm

I feel like I need a cocktail, @shangri. Excellent mix!

Are you a big Judas Priest fan, Austin? Haha
Avatar 7:10pm
shangri-lounge:

William Shatner writes fiction?!
Avatar 7:11pm
Mr Fab:

Well, he has a co-author. I'm assuming Bill probably doesn't do the heavy-lifting, but who knows?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:11pm
austinrich:

I don't mind them, but I was never a fan, per se. The book might be great for all I know, but I have a pile of other things I'm trying to get through, and I just don't see myself picking it up in a timely manner.
Avatar 7:12pm
shangri-lounge:

Hahaaa, amazing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:13pm
austinrich:

Shatner has his name on 11 novels, but like Mr. Fab suggests, it's often got a co-writer, and The Shat has "story credit."

Biographies can be pretty boring. :/

I have put down more "music bios" because they are as you suggest.

Even when the subject is a very interesting person. It's all just a bit too dragged out. I'll take a short Wiki entry, please.

Martin Newell's autobiography, This Little Ziggy is quite good.

Absolutely swooning over this show 😍
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:23pm
austinrich:

I got to Interview Martin earlier this year. He's a delight! (And very, very friendly.)

He also has a connection to Max Headroom: he was roommates with Steve Roberts, who wrote Max Headroom. (Martin was in the other room, writing Cleaners From Venus songs.)

I'm with @HyperDose; this show rules.

yeah, I don't think I've read many music biographies. But the Sun Ra one is a trip.

I bought a Bruce Campbell biography. It's still sitting on my shelf. "The Chin"
Avatar 7:26pm
shangri-lounge:

I like that I always have the option...to probably never read it. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:27pm
austinrich:

I bet Bruce Campbell's book rules, but Bruce is hilarious in person. I can imagine he has a good way of translating that to the page.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:28pm
Krys O.:

That's terrific, Austin! I used to correspond with Martin by mail in the 80s. A mutual friend let him know that I played Cleaners from Venus on my show back then and he wrote to thank me. We kept it up for a while. I was also pen pals with Kevin Lycett of the Mekons.
Avatar 7:29pm
Mr Fab:

I'm imagining Jay Leno vs Bruce Campbell in a Battle of the Chins.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:29pm
austinrich:

That's pretty dope, @Krys O. Martin is pretty active on social media.

My podcast co-host went to his village, and just found him at the local pub one day. They've been friends to this day.

LOL!!! ROFLMAO!!!! As someone who has a lantern jaw herself, I find that hilarious!

Krys continues to impress me each week. And now Austin, too.

@Mr Fab Taco as the musical guest? Sounds like the right atmosphere for depression-era showtunes in the 80's style.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:30pm

"The Chins" could be a new superhero team? Maybe they team up and fight crime?

"The Chins" is one of those shows that will do well at first, because Patrick Warburton will be a guest and whatnot. But after a while, it'll be hard for them to take all that abuse on the etc...
