Behold, the playlist for the 2nd Annual Wow & Flutter Christmas Disrespectacular! (And I'm proud to say, a show which carries on the holiday tradition of getting a single, offended call - not that I'm so bothered, particularly as it was one from a fellow programmer, a woman who seems to think of herself as Coast Community Radio's fucking den mother or something and really should mind her own goddamned fucking business about what's appropriate late-night radio fare and what's not, especially since she used more profanity in her phone call than the track in question, and if it's the political incorrectness factor you're worried about, cookie, bear in mind that sarcastic commentary about Chanukah could be construed as anti-Semitic from a WASP or someone similar but is perfectly fine coming from a member of the Chosen People, not to mention a guy deeply beloved of our oh-so-liberal listenership, y'dig? Ah, yes, all I want for Christmas is some thicker skin...)

OH, STORMY...
And here's the show I did in the aftermath of the worst storm the northern Oregon/southern Washington coast has seen for some time. Nothing out of the ordinary, other than having to do it with a single, generator-run light for illumination, which was fine because it kept me from seeing the giant elm that had fallen mere inches from the KMUN air room and loomed ominously outside the window as I broadcast. And after driving through downtown Astoria late that night, I regretted not having a copy of the Specials' "Ghost Town" with me, though #23 (ooooh) below seemed appropriate on both sides of the em dash. An auspicious way to celebrate my 50th show, eh wot?

SCHNUCK ON THIS, SCHNEEP:
Time to catch up once again on some missed playlist uploads, especially since there's two new shows from me this week... First, my Thanksgiving-eve broadcast, featuring the talents of my brudda Bob (who I'd have co-host every show if I could), and also either the last weekly W&F or the first bi-weekly W&F, depending on your point of view. Shame, too, that the show was shortened to seven minutes this week, but some of the stuff that followed was pretty good, too...
