Hast denn die Rute auch bei Dir?
Ich sprach: Die Rute, die ist hier;
Doch für die Kinder nur, die schlechten,
Die trifft sie auf den Teil, den rechten.
hi Kinny.
Just can't be scared of a Satan who almost chips his horn on the fireplace mantle.
OH that irrepressible Satan.
Up to his boyish pranks.
What a scamp
Hitler was a big Santa Claus fan, had a Santa hat tattoo on his right buttcheek

Ken and People Like Us, and People Unlike Them,
Cromagnon's might be related to Negativland. Found on the interwebz:
"They had a big concept, and ESP-Disk was behind it, and the result was Orgasm, a jumble of rackety percussion, chants, shouts, moans, giggles, whispers, drones, found sounds, bizarre rituals, ethno-freak-outs and one actual song, “Caledonia,” a sort of metal bagpipe reel, and the only album released by the weird collective known as Cromagnon. The story was that Grasmere and Elliot contacted a hippie commune to record with a group of musicians known only as the “Connecticut Tribe” that may or may not have included future members of The Residents and Negativland, which added a ton of mystique to the already bizarre album."
2015 Krampus movie good? Playing around the corner might be good for kids...

G,
I once did something horrible. I listened for four, yes, four long uninterrupted hours the Ubuweb radio stream. But I think that's too naughty for being considered in the Krampus' nice list.

This is making me want to listen to Professor DumDum. I miss that guy.

This is awesome - haven't heard Theater of Tragedy in ages.
When does the seasonal statute of limitations on Christmas music expire? Sorry to broach such a controversial topic during this festive radio program, which is brimming with gaiety and frivolity.
I sure would love to know the origin of this recording. It used to be a recurring staple of my early shows. I am 99% certain I found it on Beware of the Blog (RIP).

Hell doesn't sound so bad. No kids is nice. Heaven is great, but it's full of screaming brats. Plus there's no beer.
We're looking into a Krampus costume, for the benefit of the wee one.

Gruss vom Krampus! did/do any other (american) listeners out there celebrate St Nick’s Day (Dec 06)?
we would hang socks on the mantle the night before and in the morning there would be fruit and some candy. my family is all german-catholic so i assume the custom followed them from europe. but there was never any mention of Krampus, disappointingly.
For a moment I thought we were going to listen to the horryfing, appalling, awful, bad, beastly, detestable, disgusting, dreadful, and execrable voice of Mariah Carey sining Visions of Love.
I'm starting to think this Krampus dude isn't the cute cuddly avuncular figure the Wiccans next door have made him out to be. Deception by your next door neighbors is never a good thing.
Finding out about Lemmy's passing around the holidays was a huge bummer (although not really unexpected) but learning of Bowie's passing on this here station - and right around my 50th birthday - was a completely flooring experience.
Oh, I see Camilo Sesto just died, bummer. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of my aunts in Honduras blasting "Algo de Mi". Great 70s Spanish torch song, surprised Tarantino hasn't used it yet.
Here's a Christmas horror headline: "China gene-edited baby experiment 'may have created unintended mutations'" That's it, we're doomed. This is how it starts.
@10.35 no prob Jeez you were great!
now we're working on a documentary about the Allman brothers band and thought about you for the role of Berry Oakley.
lump of coal you say? santa has been doing that to me since 1978 when i was 11. i take the coal and sell it for $14 dollars american. take that santa!!!
I think Krampus was just an ordinary guy who was driven crazy by the non-stop sappy Christmas music and Black Friday doorbusters, and one day he just snapped.
It's about goddamn time somebody actually started a fuggin War On Christmas! I'm tired of those right wing hate radio bozos whining about some imaginary war. It takes a real fuggin American like Station Manager Ken to actually give those chowderheads something to shove in their piehole!
Hey all! Anyone else switching away from the impeachment hearings? What they are doing right now with these Constitutional scholars is so bad. Being preached to endlessly about “Impeachment is bad because high crimes and misdemeanors and this is the Constitution and this is wrong and there are laws… Blah… Blah… Blah…” It’s like a bad speech at the end of a film noir before the bad guy gets locked up.
After the raccoons got in, we put a cap over the chimney. Santa's not gettin' in.

There are only three Xmas characters that are worth knowing.
Nope. I'm not talking about Baby Jesus, Mary or the Donkey. BUT Krampus, Shitter (Caganer) and Uncle Shit (Caga Tio). The last two come from the great Catalan tradition of mixing shit with Xmas.
I ask for the 3rd and final time:" Does Krampus have lesser powers in the daylight hours as compared to the dark hours?"
Walking in a cold Spanish rain gave me further questions:
Are there female Krampuses/Krampi?
Or are they gender neutral?
Which is the correct plural???
How do they/it/they procreate???
Cannot make it to the Dec 7th screenings, but I am sure it is
"a date that will live on in infamy!!!!!"
ps. The David Sedaris Elf story(1992) is a good read listen..
bust a gut: Crumpet the Elf

This IS the best Voivod cover from the Pink Floyd folks. it sounds almost as good as the great V. But honestly, Pink Floyd's Astronomy Domine cover sounds terrible.
Thanks, Krampus and Ken! Great devilish show, super GIFs, wild comments, and epic anti-Xmas music. till next episode and remember, loosen up and BE HAPPY >:-|
