a festivus for the rest of us
This week: the last show of the year is a non/multi-denominational holiday special, so Chris and Dan'll be wishing one and all a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, a Kwazy Kwanzaa, a Tip-Top Tet and a solemn and dignified Ramadan. The qualifiers for songs this week: mention of winter, snow, or general Yuletide merriment (or lack thereof). Expect Arab Strap, Vashti Bunyan, Ramones, Sufjan Stevens and - yes! - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band.
