9:22am
Negator:
Ken, play some of that sick, twisted, old Christian shit from some obscure record from the early 70's. You know some song with a spoken word breakdown in the middle of some sick shit like little Johnny dies because he was singing a secular Christmas song, or something like that. I love that type of XXXmas!

Yeah, Negator's right. When's little dead Johnny gonna drop by?

So, can anyone tell me what was up with Irwin last week? He seemed to be having some sort of breakdown. (See last week's 7SD comments.)
9:30am
Listener Dave:
And through a wormhole in the space-time-radio continuum, Ken picks up WNEW-FM's signal from December 22, 1988 for just one song
9:33am
Keith:
Does that mean that the next song will be "Life in the Fast Lane"?
9:33am
Parq:
Kenster: There's a great Poi Dog Pondering version of the Hawaiian-American classic, "Mele Kalikimaka". It's on lots of comps, including "A Different Kind of Christmas", on the Riksy Business label, which also features Syd Straw, Shonen Knife, NRBQ, Timbuk 3 and more.
9:33am

9:41am

There was that metal/glam band Angel that had "The Christmas Song" which was kinda bad, but kinda good. I think it was from '77 or '78.

The real birthday of Jesus was probably in September which is why I break out Christmas records on Labor Day. Adds a whole new dimension to the barbecue.
10:44am

Meph: At least Jungle Bells and Lettuce Snow are seasonal. Confusing the Annunciation and Christmas is confusing the invitation for the party.

New research indicates that Jesus was most likely born in April, an Aries.

"new" research? I thought it was a given that the 25th of Dec was chosen to merge pagan festivals with Christian symbolism

don't like the swiss yodeling much.
wow! there is a book
"Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo: The Secret History of Yodeling Around the World"
and more good links on the amazon page.
i am also edumicated by the wikipedia entry on yodeling.
10:49am
Listener Dave:
Well yeah. I didn't hear about the April thing. I remember the September theory being based on records that indicated that that was the tax collecting season, hence the traveling. Hadn't heard about April.

Wes:
Charles: study the Superman "S" emblem...that's a snake, not a sun. But, you're right, partially, modern day Xtianity has returned to pagan idolatry and symbolism in the quest for world government/control of Jerusalem and the "end of the world" THOSE are the crazy ones. Leave us incense swinging old order catholics with our business to tend to, we don't worship the sun.
It's only in fhe forbidden books of the Apocrypha that one finds out about Joseph and Mary's other children (Jesus' bro James) and Jesus' eventual marriage to.... yes, a true marriage of good and eeeeveeel, the whore Mary Magdalen!
11:01am
stuart:
SM: No, James is mentioned in the NT. They found his ossuary a few years ago, complete with inscription. Some people doubt its authenticity, but it's got to be authentic because it was very expensive.
11:02am
Charles:
I dig the apocalyptic tone, Wes, but Superman is only powered by the Sun, and was two Jewish men's attempt at creating a fictional Messiah.
11:02am
Wes:
If nothing else, the gnostic texts sell well, see Dan Brown's book of lies and the moooovie industry making $$$ on it and inserting their own occult imagery in the process.....gotta love mental conditioning of a populace!
11:02am

i wonder if Thurston and Kim sing this song to Coco..

I don't think it's in the Apocrypha about Jesus' siblings, I think it's in the regular New Testament (Protestant translations probably tho).

large screens will start to be common in church.
video sermons initially, then the stained glass
(especially as sunlight becomes scarce).
the experience will merge with the theatre experience,

or, a device that stimulates the 'god part of the brain' (which see)
depending which is approved (papally, governmentally) first.
