	9:42pm andrewb: I've always loved Billy Squires' christmas song but just dawned on me that it's "killer Queen" with different lyrics. Not that thats a bad thing,

	11:01pm efd: @Stevel you and Hoboken Jack!

Wed. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)
EFD’s hair-metal-loving cousin Evan “Snake” Davies was dying to return to the airwaves in October after a four-year absence. However, this request was vetoed over concerns that his appearance might have had a deleterious effect on our Hellraiser efforts. He’s back today, though, spinning his favorite ‘80s (mostly) hard rock and hair metal just for you. Don’t (or maybe do) miss it!
