The playlist continues here!

Switched!

Jon...not sure if you have this info handy but where would I go to find more Spontaneous Generation music?

Not on Bandcamp but should be on the other streaming services as of last night!

Perfect! Thank you very much!

Everyone else here?

I am here.

Phew.

Did everyone else jump over?

Congrats on 12 Brendan 🏆

Oh word! Thanks! Should congratulate Jon tho hahaha

Made it unscathed!

When does the sun come up? Can't wait to see it.

I'm not sure. I normally wake up for work around 6am. I'd say right around there.

Maybe closer to 6:30ish.

Woo 13th hour

You'll be exactly halfway in 15 minutes right?

I'm thinking of making some eggs soon.

@Brendan, so your a chicken?

Yes indeed.

@Brendan, I like mine poached... just saying

WestSiiidddeee!! ☀️👙🏄‍♂️

I'm just gonna scramble the hell out of them. With some pepperjack!

through the looking glass

Good morning, everyone! I perfected my scrambled eggs in the microwave technique this year.

Mornin'!

here we go

Took a look outside, had no idea it rained!

French, I'm assuming?

love this. I wanna hang out with whoever this chick is

Still dark in Philly but yeah it did rain!

Oh yeah. The streets actually do look wet here in DE.

Happy holiday bro. Always a pleasure to tune in and watch your annual event. Time flies..

Thanks, Chad!

*️⃣🆗❗️ 🆒‼️

Giving those fitter happier more productive vibes

This is super atmospheric.

Halfway!

Oh Jon. I was wondering. Is Philly Boy Roy gonna be in the mix?

Hello from Bonn, Germany. Merry Christmas, Jon! Merry Christmas, everyone! OK, back to peeling potatoes...

I missed him last year so he kinda has to be.

Peel! Those! Potatoes!

Congratulations, DJ JonSolomon! And Thank You!

Guten Morgen Herr Chris!

Just gotta get to 10 am...

Actually, more like 9.

Mr. M great to have you on this journey. Ambrose too! Missing some of the other Wednesday regulars who I'm sure will show eventually.

I’m super dazzled by you, DJ JonSolomon! Spread! The! GOODWILL!

I'm thinking maybe coffee in an hour. How is it I feel less tired now than when I get like 4 or 5 hours of sleep?

It is freezing in here now, time to fire up the kettle.

Dueling teapots in the kitchen with different teas in each.

Dueling teapots...now that's a song I'd like to hear.

Coffee reload here, now that the red eye hop is about over.

I'm gonna eat some breakfast and then it will be coffee time.

PewPewPew 📢📢📢

I still get up at 4 am on xmas

I woke up a couple nights before the marathon in the middle of the night screaming. Do not recommend!

I always recommend screaming.

I did not care for it. Give me screaming when I'm not also dreaming always.

I typically remember 2 or 3 dreams a week. They're a trip.

I think things got terrifying suddenly and...SCREAMS. Only the second time it has ever happened to me that I recall.

It is very unsettling. Sorry, that happened to you, DJ JonSolomon! Everything is working out well here, no need for anxiety in the days leading up to the big event!

Did mr m just say super dazzled? Also just bumped into Santa he is on his way back to " the pole" I was super dazzled by his jolly demeanor

Also, I’m super duper bedazzled 💎 💎 ✨

I knew it!

✨ Super ✨ Dazzled ✨

Christmas Wrapping is probably in my top 3 Xmas songs.

This cover is faithful!

‘Christmas Wrapping’ 💜

Cover is on pointe.

A nine for the vocals, but only a 6 for the bass. Tracey Wormworth is unsurpassable.

Jarret! How's the kid??

Wait… Sinkane?/

Great! Thanks Jon. Baby’s first Xmas

How you holding up Jon?

Doing OK. Nice to see some people returning and others staying overnight.

Ha, we have a 4 y-o at home, we’re gonna pretend the day we get home is Xmas Eve.

🤙🎄

I'm happy to play along!

Nice to see another Tract Wormworth stan on here.

Tracy

Time to cook some brekkie.

Ok.. fixing my last Michelado (with Modelo tho) and closing up shop. Will postpics in a bit. Hoping to be back my noon for the underground set

Superbly Sassy

(And to finish painting the other half of the room!)

See you later CB!

Fun bunch of 45s 🧿❣️

Little did Johnny Alvin know that his diction would one day be the inspiration for nearly all Gen Z pop singers.

Breakfast is ready!

really like the way The Rangers think

They have some ideas, that's for sure.

It's not Christmas without Snoop! The D-O double G!

Sooooo glad it made it till Snoop o clock

Did Larry Ferrari put out a Christmas album? God he was talented.

SNOOP DOGG ❤️‍🔥

Sooooo glad *I made it to Snoop O clock

Lol… Miso Snoop

Miso soup 💝

This is an ad for a delivery service but also seems to pre-date the company they're advertising. Can Snoop travel through time?

I would not doubt Snoop is a time traveler.

You can answer yes to any question starting with “can Snoop….”

Snoop gets really good buds, so time travel can't be out of the question with the strains ganga going around these days.

Good points.

Must be a sativa.

I'm cracking up to this song. Might be losing it!

lol

This one will make you lose it, for certain.

Yup haha. It's happening.I recall a really messed up 12 Day of Christmas. Is that coming up soon?

Why does he need their teeth?

The Trian Kayhatu was a good example of a time machine failure.

Zombie Flesheaters!

Michael schmeizer 😂 I love that song

The James Webb Space Telescope launches in less than an hour. I'm really excited and nervous.

Who's James Webb?

I hope someone will keep me posted about how the launch goes!

Love some ska/reggae Christmas music

Gonna miss Selecta Jerry today, but worth it

Good morning all and Merry Xmas! Jon I see you played Hallmark Holiday Hellscape! Sad I missed it - my apologies to all who had to listen. Did you do the VU set yet? Good morning Jon, hope you're well, got your tea, etc.

Jon, you gonna spin at Johnny Brenda’s in Philly ever again?

James Webb ran NASA from 61 to 68

HHH wasn't so bad. I think it played for 2 minutes before I thought, wait is an ad playing?

that sounded like Barney!

@Michael Oh cool. Thanks!

Made my private insty public just for my fellow marathoners if you want to see the paint process… @chillinchillinmindinmybidness (Yes it’s a salt n pep reference.) hope it’s not against the rules to post my insty. Aiming to be back at noon for underground set. Love yous

CB you will never guess what my cats' names are...

Lol snoop puppets

Jon and Solomon?

Lol jk

Wait, I thought Jon is always on the radio.

I am always on the radio, but you only get to hear but a portion.

Aw man. What I wouldn't give to hear the rest!

Coffee is brewed! I needs it.

I demand "Accidently Smoking Crack"

Schmelzer, I second that. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Hi, DJ MikeLupica! Happy Holidays!

yo Mike! God bless us every one!

Indeed!

Very Merry Mike!

ML sighting! Hello!

Merry Xmas friends!

DR sighting! Hello!

hi everyone! jon was pat lying about some launch at 7:20?

Happy to be saying Merry Christmas to the collective PRB fam before I've said it to my actual fam. (Who are still sleeping.)

Alisha, for once Pat was telling the truth!

DJ DanRuccia! Woooo!

Look at all the folks sleeping and such.... :)

Merry Christmas to all!

I don't have the details because I am on the radio, but there's a launch soon and others can fill ya in.

Big space telescope launches in like 20 minutes or so

T - minus 22 minutes

James Webb Space Telescope launches sometime after 7:20 Eastern

Launching from where?

Equatorial Guyana or somesuch. ESA, Ariane rocket

Good morning everyone. Merry Christmas! This song really does sound the The Fall

Thanks for the info, Michael Schmelzer

Mornin' Fine Freaks! You're the DJ 🎙, I'm the Wrapper 🎁

Heya Rob, Merry Christmas! The kids are waking up the houses now... lol

Hiya Roffle! Merry Xmas to you and your kids

Jimbeaux! Rob! Roffle!

Mr. Mike!

So is there a relationship between God Is My Co-Pilot and God Is My Co-Pilot AF?

Dear Santa, please send to me all the volumes of Kill Rock Stars Winter Holiday Albums. Thanks!

GodCoAF

This is mixing well with the prelaunch chatter

This song is very peaceful. i like it.

Jon!

Add to the Rangers' wish list: I want to see all the way to the beginning of the Universe for Christmas

Maybe Pat's lie was that you are gonna broadcast the launch on this show somehow?

Someone needs to write that song, Michael

A 25-hour radio program wouldn't be complete unless we go to space.

@-ᎷяM - Same weather here as in SD today! I think the Christmas elves are playing jokes.

I am not doing a launch broadcast, alas. But I would like to tell people about it.

Satan Claws is Phat 😈

I guess the full Lindstrom doesn't really count as leaving the planet?

@Dan I'll allow it.

T - minus 10min

i'll find a way to watch it and narrate in the chat. anyone have good link?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rARTOhbLDg

Hi Gang! Launch is on schedule, history to be made i hope!!!

Lawrence Welk's Little Band - "Outer Space Santa"

Where is ROFFLESTOMP approximately?

@-ᎷяM - Philly

Keep me posted as I can't watch live.

Star Wars Christmas Album - "Christmas in the Stars"

Dang i missed my pal Data Wolf's robo story :(

@-ᎷяM Not stomping for Christmas, but soon.

Still is go..

DJ Tenderloin, your collage had people asking where they could hear it.

Live stream https://www.nasa.gov/nasalive for the launch from French Guiana

Hi Rob, fingers crossed!

This weather is silly. When does the earth shift back into the other axial tilt? Will that make a difference?

Those people need serious help! They can hit me up with an email - djtenderloin@gmail.com or just search me on Soundcloud. My whole xmas mash up album is there too! Guess this means I need to put up HHH?

Hey Alan. This is the big one! Fingers crossed indeed!

t-minus 7 minutes . synchronized launch sequence begun

Good morning and happy launch day!

I hope they cross-checked flight paths with NORAD's Santa Tracker.

We're going to Mars, man!

yes please for HHH

T - minus 5min

Yes, ROFFLE my phone automatically does the full name in caps as soon as I type r o f f 😂

Hi Roffle!

@Brendan ho ho ho.....

DJ DanRuccia, thanks for the link!

@-ᎷяM Just thinking dropping the last syllable makes for a kinder, gentler Christmas.... :)

GO Fever....

3 min go..

Engines chilled.

Weather so cloudy for launch!!

Hi Alan! Yes. Fingers crossed

Oh man! Here we go!

2min go..

That guy's head was very bald.

Alan, this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rARTOhbLDg is a little ahead of the one I posted

Who will STOMP the Bah HumBugs tho yo?

they're heading out to the observation deck

Oh shoot!

Liftoff

BLAST OFF!

There it goes

It's obscured by clouds

GO GO GO!!

GO BABY GO, GO GOOOOO!!!!

I think it's a success.

Success!

shush!

Okay you maniacs - Hallmark Holiday Hellscape is available - for a limited time - on my soundcloud -

https://soundcloud.com/djtenderloin/hallmark-holiday-hellscape?si=cc5cfe11de364716a3c6ca0fca66c027&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Nominal readings! Sweet!

looking for possible 9th planet!

It’s already on Tatooine!

Let's wait until after MaxQ

good launch!

Nominal Clean flight

well that didn't come out right - try this -https://soundcloud.com/djtenderloin/hallmark-holiday-hellscape

Go hot dog go

Booster sep ok!

You can trust MrM! It’s on Tatooine Rn aF!

We conquered space!

Fairing sep ok!

space....I believe in....space....

Don’t worry about missing it….it’s like missing the tip off of a basketball game. They have two months of unfurling cablea and setting it up in space, each step potentially fatal to the satellite. In other words, they have the 1st-2nd-3rd-4th quarters to play.

The staging of the “launch” to “space” looked authentic!

https://xkcd.com/2559/

The simulation is kind of authentic looking

All nominal so far.

Jason, keeping my fingers crossed til then

Second stage will burn for approx 25 min....

Ugh we have to wait 8 and a half minutes for the burn out? What do they think? We have 25 hours or something?

I will get up 1 hr early and stay up 1 hr ,ate to see when the space shuttle comes by

Late

All rockets, all the time

just missed it!

Hey Jon - I know I know - but I sent you Outer Space Santa anyway - you know if you want to...

You could only see it for like 10 seconds and then it was lost in the clouds.

Jon's very own Mission Control.... :)

DJ JonSolomon, thoroughly enjoying your very special show with all these great selections!

Stage 2 Ignition go!

MECO

☃️🎶🥁🎵🎸🎶🎹🎵❄️

25 minutes to burn to go!

Jon Solomon does it all. Christmas. Music. Rockets.

Space is usually the place but today #wprbxmas is the place! Merry Christmas everybody! Coffees brewing.

This rocket had a Santa assist module, no doubt.

I'm on my second cup Pat. It's keeping me alive right now.

@Roffle: https://xkcd.com/2559/

Rocket OK?

DJ PAT! Merry Christmas to you and your FamBam! All the best to you in the New Year!

So far so good!

Meanwhile in Paraguay, we launched our first satellite this past March… https://youtu.be/0GtFaNPozWg

Brendan this coffee maker can’t move fast enough! Thankfully the Pointer Sisters are keeping my sleepy impatience at bay

Right back at ya MrMalcontent!

Sun! Well, light. Blinds have been opened.

All nominal. Flying past Ascension Island now

THE POINTER SISTERS 💜❤️🧡

@Dan Ruccia - Hope air control was on it. lol

Augie is loving this Pointer Sisters song because it adds a little Grieg to Christmas.

Augie!

Somebody's gotta play "1,000,000 miles away" by Plimsouls from Valley Girl soundtrack real soon.

Trajectory right down the middle of the road...

Crack of the seltzer!

Look at it climb!

Love Randy Newman

Jason…what fake you to Paraguay?

I played this one "wrong" last year so making it right...

Never saw it from Santa’s point of view before. Take it easy santa.

Takes you

Thanks, DJ Pat! Get back on the airwaves real soon!

more great stuff from the king of jingaling!

T H I S

Getting a goose and then the goose is loose? You hate to see it

Stage 2 shutdown Successful! Now coast to L2

Ah, time for the Austropop set, I see. Got any Wolfgang Ambros?

Last Christmas like I never experienced it

Woohoo! And over the next two months we'll see how badly it was jostled on the way up.

(More interesting Austrian request: "Einer muss der Krampus sein" (somebody's got to be Krampus) by EAV.

Spacecraft sep from stage 2 Successful!!!!!!!!

Ich bin ein Berliner :)

All the really big boomy parts are gone and it's deploying it's solar panels. WOOT!

Morning.

we did it!

James Webb has solar power, too!

Morning Brian!

Is that the space telescope?

Blaise, yes

Yeah!

Webb In Front

Of course there's a NASA guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

could be boogaloo boy

I hope not

me too. can't trust the hawaiian shirt anymore

I got a brand new space telescope for Christmas!

TIL about the PRF monthly tribute series

Patrick, ha!

Congrats for flawless Launch!

good morning everyone

Hello hello!

💤💤💤

Good morning Julia, AKA Math Girl? lol

hi Julia!

Good morning Jon, and everyone. Gonna make some coffee and play catch up on the playlist.

Morning!

I feel like I've crossed a threshold. I used to just being going to bed at this hour after having stayed up all night to listen or hang with jon in the studio. now it's when i'm waking up. dag! has anyone here been up all night?

The only Bela I have ever heard of is Bela Fleck. That is no longer the case.

Bela runs Anyway Records, has put out some great albums over the decades.

Good story.

I heard you mentioned Don Giovanni (records)? Weird ears at this hours for me.

Oh wow. Another Brendan? That was not me.

@Julia - Started at 11pm myself. Coffee is my friend.

Hi Julia!

Are you still in Philly?

Hey Factorial! Jon had purportedly been up all night along with NASA launch staff and WAWA lunch prep crew (which are same crew incidentally)

Oh, I've been up this whole up time.

Factorial!

LOW 💙

low

Whoa loW

anyone's sound all of a sudden muffled? is it just me? sounds muffled

Let's see if it continues for the next track.

Got tenderloin in the ears again??

I think it sounds fine for me.

THIS IS AWESOME

weird. all of a sudden it came back in. crazy. sorry folks! false alarm?

Linux and Lucy

This sounds like Christmas this year, has me do giggle

we are delighting in this

hey rapa! hey jim beaux!!! and friends! @alisha - sadly i no longer live in the delaware valley. connecticut! not by choice!

Radio silence. Is it just me?

Could have been a bad audio file on this end.

DJT, thanks for uploading the HHH! This will make someone's Christmas. Or destroy it, but in a good way.

I honestly luv to drink ginger root slushy

cool. all good. loving this bizarre version of linus and lucy

ginger root slushy! love this idea!

good morning Factorial! Good morning all!

SEBASTIAN

J.Hoas - glad you...enjoyed? can't be the right word. while on soundcloud feel free to download my mix this year, and my mash up record. Enjoy and happy holidays to you!

I think i only dozed off for 45 minutes or less overnight but was just lying in bed listening. Got up dancing to that weird warped irresistable funk of that Linus and Lucy cover!

loved the Hallmark Xmas movie sound collage during the overnight! Who was Zeus? Daniel Day Lewis?

Mario Lopez?

i think so! wouldn't peg him as zeus but put a white beard on any hunk

that's my favorite part - mario lopez as the voice of zeus. truly that's when you know you're in hell. daniel day lewis on the other hand would make a fine zeus.

"connecticut! not by choice!" should be the state slogan

good morning, Jon. have i told you lately that i love you? thank you for being you <3

and we totally cracked up to the teeth in the drummer boy's drum song

This has not come up recently enough, Joshua.

Thanks for the teeth song, which many enjoyed greatly!

this song is making my wife crazy!

oh "the voice of..." makes more sense now

well happy migglemus and I LOVE YOU

what is gonna happen to this kid??

gimme this gimme that

(in this song)

Wait for the beep and flip the record to find out.

hahahahaaha

I told my wife I might put the gimme pig on next year's mix. she said "please, don't".

@Jon trying to remember the crazy long instrumental casio drummerbeat driven keyboard Xmas medley. i think you played it last year. would love to hearagain. it had wild transistions

Oh, I know what that was and I'll see if I can find the right moment for it. Some long pieces coming up in 90 minutes or so...

there is so much 8 bit christmas music out there...

i'm just waking up and that's full of typos but i think you can suss out what i was trying to say

It was Mikal Cronin (no typo).

i think you could even get away with playing a shorter excerpt if you can play the full thing

@Jon YES that's it!

*can't

best part of this time of the show for me is that everyone else who went to midnight mass is still sleeping it off and i get to enjoy the show IN PEACE

Things didn't get too weird overnight!

you're not out communing with the ghosts of horseshoe crabs on some faraway beach?

that was yesterday!

speak for yourself....the overnight felt pretty weird to me

Yo La Tengo Xmas?!!!!!!! nice

when lindstrom came on last night unexpectedly, i was just starting to fall asleep but had to get up to text the 3 people who i thought might need to know that it was on

@Factorial I heart that. it's weird not being able to thumbs up or heart things in this chat. i've gotten so used to that!

The chat could use a few bells / whistles indeed.

ooh which reminds me!

@jon - what year did you change the background bells? these are not the original bells

I like bells and whistles.

hello

MAURA

ahhh!!!!

that 12" Lindstrom version was definitely a curveball. I thought there was a big break from tradition!

hi factorial ❤️❤️

Just got up, yelled at the dog and loving this so far.

WOWZA!

Good morning Maura. we're still so tickled by Icy Shank!

good morning bela!

Bela, your story was great. Megan Hendricks just texted me about listening to it while on a walk.

Icy Shank is my favorite this year!! Absolutely going on next year's mix.

yes, thanks for the contribution, Bela!

Good morning & Merry Xmas, marathoners!

THOSE A HUGE WORDS JON! also--- Joel Meeks Little Drummer Man [Setting Up Drums]" deserves a 2021 play

*ARE

I believe him

Holla!

@Michael do you have inside info on this EPIC contribution?

Icy Shank was great, Maura, and I don't even get the reference

Good morning!

Good Morning All!

Good morning

Have had the stream running since yesterday.

No inside info, just bettin' the odds

Keep going, Jon!!

Jon, you look as bright and cheery as you did 8 hours ago!

Holiday wishes from Paris, Jon! Thanks for providing yet another soundtrack for our Christmas! Stay happy and healthy in '22!

@Michael is wagering allowed in the chat, or does that violate applicable laws?

Thanks Jon! For the telescope launch...

It's only an exhibition, not a competition, so please . . .

Yes! The James Webb Christmas Marathon Telescope has launched!

beep beep beep beep beep

Thank you, DJ Tenderloin! It turned out I had it on the music laptop already. Beep.

@Michael [sadly puts wallet back in pocket ]

Of course you did....I expect nothing less!

It's weird that Lawrence Welk and NOT Sun Ra is the one who recorded Outer Space Santa!

Merry Christmas!!

MC, SP!

Good morning Jon!

Merry Christmas, DJ StitchingPink! 🧶🪡🧵

Oh man! Was this Last Chance version in the marathon last year? I think I kept looking and couldn't find it anywhere.

Jon, you may be feeling tired, but you are seriously hitting on all cylinders right now. Thank you for all your enduring Yuletide Music Fantastica!

I don't remember. I might have put it in Korean? Isn't the band that's Korean?

Merry Christmas @MrM. 💖

Unfortunately, the artist + album title's only search engine hits...?

THIS SHOW!

Vundabar!

nice

You're welcome Rade. I feel pretty good right now.

No jinxes!

I feel sleepy for 10 minutes then awake for 10 minutes. Hoping Jerry will wake me up!

Lawrence Welk does not jinx.

Total Iron Butterfly vibes right now.

really digging this - Jon you're in the zone!

I have a full In A Gadda / Jingle Bells piece elsewhere but I'm not sure there's time!

In A Gadda da Christmas baby!

I can't believe we did all new material and concept sets from 5:00 pm ET on 12/24 until about 8:00 am ET today.

you definitely played this last year. such a good cut!

Yet it still felt like the marathon!

Yeah, I deffo remember this one.

Good morning and Merry Christmas everyone 😴

Yo wb Andrew

I show 2019 and 2018 as the prior plays but I could be wrong!

this deserves a rerelease...maybe Numero Group can track it down?

Merry Christmas everyone!

maybe it was 2018/19 cuz i remember being in a car when it came on. we stayed at home 2020. so....

thanks Michael and Sebastian :)

Jon, you may be the one person with more spreadsheets than me. lol

and thanks DJ Tenderloin!!

DJ SelectaJerry! Merry Christmas! Dance with me!

And a Special christmas thank you to Jon Solomon for providing a day off ! Thanks Jon

Very Merry Jerry!

Good morning and merry Christmas everyone!

Ripping first track to tune back into! Merry Christmas all !

Merry Christmas to One and All! 🎄🎁☃️

I love long jams!

@ Selecta Jerry - Hopefully Jon is keeping a reggae Christmas tune close to the vest until your shows hours hit. lol

SCRAWL! Thank you, Jon!

Better timing this year.

Dont mess with the Science roff

SCRAWL⁉️ Wowwie WowWow

SCRAWLLLLLLLLLL ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

@Selecta Jerry - Not my job to ever do so.

Gotta dram tho man, gotta dream.

whoa when is this Scrawl from?

just leaving it all out there on the field

Wow this Scrawl tune 🔥🔥🔥

Omg Jon, you've even out-Scrawled me on this one

re: reggae / selecta jerry - i heard a version of christmas time is here by roger rivas yesterday that's awesome. happy to send your way - to you too Jon! Me and the wife are huge fans of your show Selecta Jerry - happy holidays -

Harshe but fair.

that was good. I was convinced it was L7 at first.

I didn't know about this song either, Maria T

Hi Maria T!

Hi Mike!!!

Jon, ha!

Ghostface! Nice! GZA was the last show I was at before the pandemic.

Jon +++++ not too Harshe at all. Mays you play this song next year

From 1997 - https://www.discogs.com/release/12537075-Various-The-GiftTo-The-Homeless-From-Local-Artists

Thx Jon!

This song is insane

I'm a little O'Leary of all these puns

Thank you jon!

You are most welcome!

Morning all. Happy NOE ! (get it?)

@Michael S, :-)

I get it however could you explain it for everyone else?!?

I request the Scrawl every year :)

@Brian, Hallo. It took me a minute to get it!

@donutage, you are a true saint

(I hope this means Jon might play my Scrawl cover)

I'm trying to find time for everything I love.

I think he played it last year, Maria T. I hope he plays it again! (11:59 It's January, right?)

@Rob - yes it was new for last year!

Merry Christmas Mr Macontent ! (get it then? )

@Maria T, I remember now, I caught it last year. I was barely listening to WPRB then and only a little to the marathon. It was wonderful!

Dj tenderloin thank you for the kind words. stay blessed sir

well if my neighbors were not up before they are now, Happy Wu-Xmas

Love the keyboard stylings of roger rivas

I'll start saving now!

DJ Jon Soomon throwing down some faves new and od. Heard the past dozen or so and brough smies to my face.

thank you sir! great set Jon -

I missed Ghostface while putting the reindeer dishes away?!!! CHRISTMAS IS RUINED

Brian d merry christmas man

Merry Christmas Seecta Jerry!

There was a follow-up compilation of Columbus bands in 1999: https://www.discogs.com/release/12537261-Various-The-Gift- The Platypus and Pat Dull tracks are especially good.

as a person who owns one or more Santa-in-a-rocketship decorations, outer space santa was amazing

Hello and Merry Christmas to all! Wow Jon, love the longer stretch of the new to the marathon tracks this year before getting into classic favs. Aside from dozing in and out for maybe a couple hours total this is the most I've ever caught up to this point. Somehow missed Christmas Chapstick until now. Unbelievable! Also especially like that Run On track.

is there motley crue parody of girls girls girls that’s bells bells bells?

Merry Christmas all! 🎄 No shade to other sets but that last set was a cut above <3

@maggie - i have been thinking the same thing all along

Has anyone done "Elf Boy" "Bath Boy" parody yet? For the win of all wins

I agree - that last set was killer

May you find your Ls, Brian D and have a joyeux noeL!

Xmas Bath Boy 2022 challenge. Accept!

Where o where have me little L's gone o where o where can they be....

More Hallmark!

the Christmas Hoagie

Christmas hoagie 🤣

I want Christmas with Holiday Eddie Money right now

Please don't soil Eddie Money's name :(

I saw Eddie Money - a gazillion years ago - in Las Vegas. Downtown.

santa don't!

SONIC YOUTH❣️

Sweathogs Christmas... Santa Claus goes up your nose with a rubber hose... Love it

Just Say NO L

😉

I saw Eddie Money in Atlantic City a few years before he passed and he made fun of springsteen and the crowd at the golden nugget turned on him.

Joe, that's remarkable.

Santa Doesn't Cop Out on Dope kids

Turned on just to hear then end of Junk Miles—has that weird sensation of hearing familiar voices on the radio that I’m not expecting and being confused for a sec.

Good morning. I’m not awake or coherent yet.

Same

Longmont Potion Castle the phone prank genius called Edward Mahoney (Eddie Money aka) a few times. A classic where the prankster is posing as a UPS worker trying to collect money (ha) from Eddie for several tons of turquoise color gravel soon to be delivered. Eddie was backstage at a gig about to go on stage. He believed the whole pitch .... "What Address? Is this for me or my ex wife's address? This is Edward Mahoney yknow Eddie Money the musician...."

BECK 💚

That’s funny as heck, Brian D!

Baruch Atah Adonai with the robot processed voice... a classic every year.

Up in time for Snaildartha!

I'm ready for the snail!

Morning DSM! How are your girlfriend and her mother feeling this morning?

Yeah, DSM. I hope the worst is behind you all!

There's a hi def guy in a hoodie and Santa hat staring at us through the living room wall... plotting

Morning Rob! And Jon, thanks! They puke fest has subsided and girlfriend is feeling much better, even has appetite. Her mom is passed out cold. I think the worst is over :)

That’s good news, DSM

Thanks Mary. Merry Christmas everyone, looking forward to Snail time, I miss it every year.

10 minutes to 🐌.

(As in never heard it)

KEVIN! 😱

Everyone has a reindeer tattoo on their lower back, right?

🐌🎄

Yikes

Next level tramp stamp. Move over tribal designs....

this is hilarious

EFF AY OH

This is good and you should feel good.

Tequila

🐌 🎷 !!!

So fast on those digits haha

Sing it if you know it!!

I have a feeling a reindeer ramp stamp is going to live in my head rent free...It also sounds like something a Hallmark Christmas Movie addict would get while drunk on eggnog.

These guys are funny!

BRAVO

Ha!

Good pitch!

From the WestSiiidddeee!

Hold up. what's the internet?

🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌

everything bagel ritz cookie + hard boiled eggs: second breakfast of champions

settling in for SNAYL TYME

Bring on the snail!

WE WANT SNAIL! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? NOW!

I took a small break to listen to Jon bon Jovi fairytale of new york DO NOT RECOMMEND

That's on my Boxing Day agenda! I can't wait (I can wait).

Yesssss

🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌

SNAILDARTHAAAAAAAAAAA

Snaps, taps foot n says daddy o several times ..

It’s Christmas!!!! Snails!!!

Snaildartha is the most christmasy i can feel.

S car go time

I woke up just in time for Jerry the Christmas snail!!!

Jon, wait.

My wife says merry Snaildartha day to all and may your trails glitter brightly...

Yeah.

Very excited…….

(For a couple years i thought it was Howie Mandel doing the narration)

Feel dumb for asking but what is the significance of the 1:38 time for the Misfits set?

Hey Jon, how can I see the entire playlist? I love that you have the timestamps this year but I can only see back to 5am now *cry*

No need to feel dumb! There's a Misfits song called "We Are 138."

Cheers to the Mrs, Brian D! Stay glittery! ✨

Ahh thanks Jon!

Lara, go to wprb.com and on the far right you'll see both playlists. Hours 1-12 and hours 13-25.

what are we spose to tag our snail pics?

Never really processed that description of jerry before.

whew! I thought I was going to be forever in the dark about the name of that excellent wailers song last night

NOW it's really Christmas. 🐌

This epic has given me a greater appreciation of Arbor Day. All thanks to Bob.

I'd like all of you to know that even if you're a snail, I think you're important.

Agree!

@edward #wprbxmas

But better to be highly decorated than to be “important”

Somehow that background music just works so well!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼SNAIL SNAIL SNAIL!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Need t-shirt of Jon with his 9:08am quote “ I'm trying to find time for everything I love.”

thanks @commie

@DSM, that's so good to hear!! (I was on the phone with my mother for the past 25 minutes so I'm just seeing your update now)

If the video feed is ahead by a few seconds and we post something in chat and see Jon's reaction before we post it, does that prove time travel is possible?

Yes.

speaking of - that telescope that went up today - soon we'll be LOOKING BACK INTO TIME.... mind boggling stuff

Canadian content alert. SK mention

Oh, CANADA 🇨🇦

"bulbous eyes swimming on their stumps"

JON YOU MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT EVERYTHING

Jerry Christmas!

Bob and Jerry, drinking sherry

Just love that drummer!

Edward, #WPRBXmas is the hashtag to use please.

GOOD MORNING BREAKFAST CREW AND MEERRRYYYY CHRISTMASSSSSSSSS BAMMMMMM

How u doin @jon?

Bam!

Bam Chef neighbor ish

BAM to you, my friend

Scott just wanted a cushy job

Emeril's Gumdrop Gumbo™, WHO WANTS SOME

@brian hello neighborish! Tuning in from up in Boston this Christmas morning

Are there muddy ass clams in this gumbo Chef? If so I would love a bowl, thanks!

Chef in Boston wearing a fleece lined Chef's Hat. :)

Little late, but Merry Snaildartha to everyone! 🐌✨

Merry Christmas Jon! Rob Martinez checking in on Christmas morning (as usual) to wish you Season's Greetings!

Rob, your comp was especially good this year.

Christine!!!

my cats are being annoying AF for food but they must wait until the moment of zen concludes for food

Craisin crawdads and gumdrop gumbo! Reminds me, anyone with a sparkling drink and access to craisins maybe raisins would work... pour beverage into thin glass, put craisins in.... and BEHOLD ... the dance of the jumping craisins! You will stare as intently as you do at hooded tired holiday djs on your wall. Enjoy. It really works. And .. i think it proves perpetual motion is possible too so we have that going for us....

TY Jon - you're sounding fantastic as always!

Jon, you're killing it! 🔥 33 years, man! Merry merry!

Merry Christmas, Christine! Be well and stay happy!

Merry Christmas Christine!

Hi C! A very Merry to you!

Drinking coffee and laughing at the Iron Sheik's christmas tweets while snaildartha plays. Doesn't get better

@Brian, we ate paella at a Mexican seafood place in our soon to be new neighborhood after moving crap out of our storage space.

Tip, just 1 or 2 craisins. They bounce up and down forever. Sink like Jacques C to bottom then.. rejuvenated they rise... rinse repeat

how many years has Jerry been a part of the marathon?

Good morning Brian, Chef, Roffle, Rob, eliza, DSM, Wheel of Randy, Julia, Joe, Joe, Joshua, Readie, MrMalcontent 💀 Rob from Maryland, Commie Francis, Blaise, Edward, Brendan, Carl & all the PRB fam 👋

XMAS SONG REQUEST: Elton John - Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher (2004) (found on my 2021 comp)

Good morning, and a verrrry merrry Christmas to you, Christine!

Gahhh phone call from my mom in the middle of Snaildartha. But Jerry would know it was in the spirit of Christmas.

It has always been the means of giving

@Brendan Was your mom calling to make sure you were listening to Snaildartha?

The true artist performs only for himself

MHR, I think since...2009. I checked at one point.

@Joe Yes indeed.

Exactly @Michael

so it's possible you could have listened to it as a child and grown up with it! where are the gen z Jerry followers?

Right back at ya, Christine. It's great shooting the shit with some peeps from my ancestral homeland and worldwide.

@Readie - Happy Merry Christmas! It's like everyone shows up at Jon's party for Christmas... :)

MHR I will have to check but that's interesting. Was there Snaildartha before MC existed...?

Jon, did you happen to play the Benji Hughes tune I requested in the hours after 1:38 AM and when I tuned back in at 9? Just wondering, not a big deal if I missed it or if you don't even get to it at all (listened to it all month)

I'm working on raising a gen z snaildartha fan

Was it snail mail? My wife asked

Not yet but it is in the "to play" folder.

No worries!

@maggie s just leave it on on the background, they'll absorb it and then boom! enlightenment will come upon them

@matthew that's how it's been going (she is 9 now)

It aired in 2008...trying to find 2007 playlist.

My 11-year old niece is hearing Snaildartha for the first time...

@maggie perfect hat just means Jon has to keep doing this for ten more years 🤣🤣

Omg didn't see that coming

Bob Newhart played the old snail inside

JERRY FOREVER

I can't stop until 2023 at the earliest.

We ❤ Jerry the Christmas 🐌 🎄✨

@ DSM we were all once you. the revelation is ever-renewing, ever-changing

I sound like Jerry's dad but think I have the marvelous baritone

does anyone know if there's a way to see the playlist that goes back further than 5am?

If you click on Jons name at the top of the page it'll take you to the list of all the previous shows!

See the “Recent” show list on this page?

We'll miss you Jerry 🐌 ♥

Thank you Jerry 🐌

thanks AndrewT, MrMalcontent

What. No that's just from the craisin that hit me in the eye... nope not crying

McKee, far right of wprb.com!

got it! Thanks! Need to see what stupid sleep may have robbed me of this year!

I can't believe Rankin-Bass didn't cover this.

✅ showered ✅ dressed ✅ in bed ready for lindstrøm to start

True spirit of christmas 🐌💯

@DSM there will be muddy ass clams for brunch! Just to clarify are you looking for muddy ass-clams or muddy-ass clams?

Transnaildent!

Now it's time to feed my bat castards

@Chef, second please, second only actually!

🤣 @eliza rohr

@Chef, pass the muddy-ass clams

Maccababies?!

Where can I get Disco Christmas????

Disco Christmas, a new classic!

Very glad to have finally heard Snaildartha. Shocking, enlightening revelation.

the bar is raised higher and higher each year. This rules!

Massive quality!

Need that on every format

WOW!

that rules

Christmas greetings from the UK loving having a disco Christmas!

It certainly made me want to disco.

Loved that one. Hi Jon!!!!! Happy Xmas marathon to ya!! Sounding great!

Must have Disco Christmas...

New Top 15 Favorite! Also, did they vary the chorus one time to include "it's a disco crime?"

Jon thanks for debuting this!

LET'S RIDE.

Mary says that needs to be in the yearly rotation!

The Houser's are awesome at making tunes :)

Here we goooo

Can’t wait for Lindstrom 😬

Disco Christmas hooray!

Merry Christmas, to One and All! 🎁🎄☃️

Grabbing a glass of GLOGG!

anyone else want to do some calisthenics to lindstrom

Haha

Here we goooo! 🔥🎶

Lindstrom!

"hooray" is giving me flashbacks

Whole family gathered around the wireless for this

Yoga class to Lindstrom

Drop and give me, uh, I don't know, 200?

We luv ya Jon!

radios in every room - engaged

So weird to have this at 11A - I feel like this should be in the middle of the night somehow...

anyone doing the driving challenge? (if so, maybe don't chat back, but always curious where folks land by the song's end)

i plan to land in the kitchen

Perfect time to construct breakfast.

Soundtracking the Christmas Pudding ceremony 🔥

I love a slow build!

Currently watching the final flight of the women's event at Russian national figure skating championships on mute with Lindstrom blasting through the stereo speakers—this is literally the Xmas I've always dreamed of. Thanks Jon!

Mmmm pudding

Sounds magical, Maria!

figure skating + quality radio = a happy maria t

Readie !! Merry Christmas to you and yours !

if only there was a way to weave eurovision in there somewhere, Maria!

and they say you can't have it all—I AM PROOF YOU CAN

@mckee - i'll find a way!

hi jon and chat!!! just poppin in to say merry WPRB xmas!!

So happy I gave up acid for this song.

I like to think of this as a very long song that has almost 365 day gaps of silence in it.

I may have to turn off WPRB when the woman who does the quadruple jumps performs her program set to the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog"

I turn up the volume and bow my head

@Dennis, wow.

I feel like I'm on another planet. Marvelous!

I was just a babe when this song began and now I am an elderly man. What's important is, the drumming continues

Disco Christmas is here! - https://soundcloud.com/matt-houser-15530854/disco-christmas

Disco Christmas!

I've had Snaildartha on in the background on Christmas morning for years and years now and somehow never heard or never was paying attention to the end before. Mindblowing!

I feel so boosted

Somebody hold my hand

I gotcha Jerry. Don't worry.

Thanks man

Please, it's cold.

Drink lots of water....suck on a lollipop....

Something I could definitely see the Christmas elves playing at the after close of business Christmas party.

I was dragging this morning, a little anxious actually. These have passed!

@Selecta Jerry *fist bump*

i LOVE this

CL- thanks !! and back-atcha! merry merry merry!

@christine 👊🏼

Little Drummer Boy, A Space Odessey

I was so sleep deprived before this, but now I march ever onward into the cosmos

I bet Jay Spaceman and Jay Space both like this

i have always liked the little drummer boy since i saw grace jones sing it on pee-wee's christmas special. it's got a bad rep because there are so many schlocky versions and because it has goofy lyrics

I actually don't even feel tired anymore. Of course, still over almost 7 hours to go.

@Maria T - when and where can I see this stooges jumping woman?

It is one of the better traditional Xmas tunes to cover I feel.

This rendition of Little Drummer Boy is...transcendent 🙌

If you always like the little drummer boy he grows cruel and terrible. Some kind of monster. Better to keep him in check

Christmas made with this 🙏

how are you holding up Jon?

Dan, now that the sun is up I feel good. Still waiting on an email with something for the show I'm anxious to arrive so I can prep it properly...

Thank you for asking!

Thank you again for doing this year after year :) It's become a major tradition for so many

I’m still Super Dazzled by DJ JonSolomon! Biggest CHEERS To You, Sir!

Ahhhhh vocals....

KABOOM!

@Jon, it's good to hear that you're feeling good. I hope you get that email soon.

@Jon - Glad to hear you’re holding up well!

As someone who loves and collects xmas music of all odd stripes and has searched long and hard - this is my Christmas. This is my Christmas home. thanks Jon!

On another note, not to go backwards here, but Oh My Gosh, Disco Christmas? What a blessing that was!

DJ Tenderloin, you have made this show a better place with your contributions and recommendations. Welcome home!

i need to vacuum but i CANNOT

Commie we got one of those vacuum robots as a family present. Pretty cool.

What a year - Icy Shank and Disco Christmas! So many gifts this year...

Shout out from #WPRBXmas Past: Thanks to that kid Jon who DJ'ed on Xmas so the rest of us didn't have to 33 years ago!

@jon and @MHR not sure if this has been figured out but according to Snaildartha's wiki page it's been played on the marathon every year since 2004, though I haven't checked the citations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaildartha:_The_Story_of_Jerry_the_Christmas_Snail

And that tradition continues Chris signed a saturday dj

dunno why that formatted with have the text bleeding out of hte chat window

*half

Im going need to fire up some Pork roll after this one

I could go for a pork roll, egg, and cheese.

Our dog is asleep on the sofa running in time to the drums.

scrapple sandwich

Did I miss the all-Fall set?

@Selecta...and a Friday evening DJ just interjected another thank you to Jon as the tradition continues....love, love, love!

@Selecta Jerry, was that Saturday DJ that Chris signed you?

Of course

Little drummer boys arms must be getting a bit achy by now

All-Fall is still to come, followed by [redacted thing I am so bad at keeping secrets why is this my burden in life?] afterwards.

lol @ JRS

<—- marching like a robot in living room

Thank you Jon!

@Brendan I'm about to make myself a bacon egg and cheese

Rum pa pum on my drum 🥁

Awwww scram!

Hans-Peter Lindstrøm, bring it home.

Jesus my family started text bombing and a coworker gave me her new address in Sweden (she's leaving in a week)

@Dan - I recall yesterday at a neighborhood market, a couple, exasperated, asking a stockperson where is the scrapple, and that stockperson's quizzical look, "???" And the couple trying to describe it...I shook my head, thinking...ah, another young lad from central Jersey needs a crash course in "philadelphia"

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

OH LOOK, it's Casugas...

Does it have to end?!

@Readie, wow, there are local people who don't know about Scrapple? Also, hello!

Lindstrom's LDB be added to the measurement of time songs, Bath Boy, Dopesmoker.

Hello Christine, yes, sadly...I was gobsmacked....

Hi Eliza! Merry Christmas!

These last five minutes.

Wishing the ghosts of #WPRBXmas Future could send us a sign...

@DSM, good idea.

The bass flair up at the end here is excellent

It never ends @Brendan

Maaaaddd!

I listen to this every year, and every year I’m surprised by the turn it takes at the end. It’s so good.

I hear this every year and there's still parts I don't recognize.

@Casuga You too!

@Dennis - yes! I concur!!!

Building to a big spectacular finish

Now here's what I'm wondering. WHERE TF IS CARLIN REED

Carlin was here overnight.

Of course he was...

First time listening this loud. So empowering!

SOMEONE GET READY TO THROW A GRAPEFRUIT AT MY HEAD

CLOSEEEE

I've got the grape fruit.

I guess both chats will have to combined for the epic CVS receipt, I hope CVS has enough paper.

Orgasmic!!!!

I missed...

YEAHHHHHH

Hey now!

That was incredible, glad this was what I tuned into when I woke up

WOW!!!!!!!!

☃️🥁

WE DO LIVE THERE JON

I wish it never had to end.

Whoop whoop

Well done Lindstrom 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

gave me Chills this year!!!

@Casuga, next year, get up early enough for the journey of Snaildartha. It will do you good.

Well, that was intense.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Jon if you want to live inside that song may I recommend getting an MRI? Because that was how I felt when I got mine

We would all like to live in the last 5 mins of that song.

The ringtone that gets better the more you don't pick up.

Emotions eveytime I hear this.

weird - i felt a little emotional too

Mustard's my jawn.

It's still playing in my head

Mustard is the wine of condiments

OH HECK YEAH! I took a shower to that and it was GLORIOUS. Now I can march ever onward into the rest of Christmas

the beautiful crystalline light in Jon Solomon's eyes....

Btw, HI LIZBOT, merry happy everything!

Note to self...take a shower next year during Lindstrom

DJ JonSolomon, don’t forget to play that special bit at Noon, okay? #HELPFUL!

Note to self: take a shower

lol@Christine

Re: creatures, there is a lady on my nextdoor who claims to have a FLYING SQUIRREL infestation in her attic. Some people get all the luck.

Would love to hear merry christmas for christ sake if it wasn't played yet.

i like the theme of this Mericans song!

and the execution too. a nice come down after Lindstrom

Better than a Bullwinkle infestation

John played this the other day

Killdozer!

Mericans sweet tune!

We had a flying squirrel in our wall right before Superstorm Sandy. Added an element of...something.

I know we're slowly running out of time, but what are the chances of fitting in James Brown's "Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto"?

I don't want this show to end.

Why would this show end? 12 days of Christmas! Let’s GOooooo!!!!

Right?

I vote for the 30 Hr. version!

I looove Killdozer!!! Can't go a Christmas without.

Will "The Gift of the Magi(cian)" be making an appearance this year?

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Yo La Tengo! Yes!

@JonSolomon I see you played us at 06:31 - thanks for the spin! Too cool to be included in this show :)

@dan scrapple is my family's Xmas breakfast dish. can be fine, often at the very bottom and very back, in supermarket freezers as far south as DC.

YES THANK YOU, @JON!

I actually had Killdozer written down from last year. Sick song!

if this the lowest a band has ever "fi'-ed"

Be-low fi

Ho ho ho fi?

haha

Oh! It's Silent Night!

This was recorded off WPRB in 1984, band includes Paul from Detention who died recently.

God, it sounds like the Replacements

Merry Xmas, all!! Loving the show this year, Jon!

Merry Christmas, Steve!

awww. Paul was my brother-in-law's gymnastics coach!

what sweet child o mine is this

RIP Paul Shields

Whoa!

i typed my last comment before the vocal kicked in!

omg

What Sweet Child O Mind is This has alway been one of my marathon fave.

Ooh, this is good.

Lovely to hear Mark Dickinson's voice!

Wuuuut

Anyone trying to tango?

[slow handclap for Maura]

omg

I heart this

this is insane(ly great)

this is great

getting a big demon Lorne vibe

Oh my! I've never heard this one before—stunning!

This used to be a staple but has been wiped from the internet I hear. Glad I found the disc! Many requests!

i don't even know what to say

This is amazing—I love it.

Stunning

ohhh that Joy to the World finale!

Hot damn!

OH OH OH what?!

hardest lol @ settin' up drums

this LDB is my fav (sorry, lindstrom)

this silly

i love this

SO. TRUE.

This is amazing. As a bassist, I never let my drummer set up alone.

this has to be rob c

man i wish marc schreiber was on here

Sweet 🤘🥁

@Brendan you are a good egg, sir.

I feel so seen.

Rhythm section sticks together.

This is great !

god bless all the little drummer men among us, god bless jon, god bless the chat! merry christmas all!

Merry Christmas!

oh jeeez i love this one too... this set is back to back hits here

I stand corrected

Happy Christmas all!

This has some Advance Base vibes.

cuz it IS AB (by his old name)

No way Jose!

yes, way!

Jon turned me on to AB with "Nephew In The Wild." Years ago.

This is a really excellent set!

oh Merry Xmas @Addie Sugarplum! I know you! It's been a minute! Thanks for stopping by.

@Jon did you remember to do whatever you had to do at noon? Something about an announcement?

Happy to report no Trae Young chants at the Garden so far....but they did boo him on the screen. Knicks up 16-3

Casiotone For The Painfully Alone 🎹 Classic.

Noon ANNOUNCEMENT!

Thank you!!!

@jason I need the Knicks to miss the playoffs by a mile so it doesn't interfere with the rescheduled phish gigs

@MrMalcontent 💀, you're famous once again...

@Kevin M 4/20 Phish, dude!

Hey Sebastian!! Nice to see you…we live in VT now!

Yep!!! Had tickets to 12/29 and 30, so now 4/20-1

@Addie woah serendipity. I just mention Phish and then you say VT!

Cheers, DJ JonSolomon!

@addie SugarPlum, Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas to you too, Christine!

I wish the Brothers Chap would animate Snaildartha

@Addie i wondered why i had seen you and the family around for a while here in Philly. i hope you're safe and healthly. tell everyone i say hi!

@sebastian we are doing well! We’ve got snow here for a white Xmas!

@justin YES

@Addie SP- so glad you have a white christmas!

@Addie *hadn't. awww sweet. we just have a wet grey Xmas with a multiple vehicle stolen car accident nearby [womp womp]

but who's Jerry? strongbad or homestar?

Merry Christmas, Jon!!

💜 LOUUUUUUUUU & VU

watch me now!

Merry Christmas to Nicole, Jon, and Maggie from Auntie Jo, Dennis, and Tanya!

I do love me some Sweet Jane, tenderloin.

VU Doc btw - excellent! The Jonathan Richman parts are great

DJ T—yeah, everything about it hit me. Especially the editing—just amazing.

Todd Haynes - excellent match for the subject matter.

merry christmas WPRB fam!

Wow! What a concept!

Merry Christmas, Dana K! ✨How are you doing?

Dana K!

I had to look this guy up - Jon, as always, I gotta hand it to you - where / how do you find this stuff? Not aware of this - crazy version of both songs

Dana K! Merry Christmas!

I wish I could recall. I think someone sent it to me? Unsure!

The VU doc is worthwhile eh? I saw it on someone’s and was thinking about checking it out.

Taylor Mac won a genius grant in 2017 - and yes the VU Doc is excellent. Enjoy!

i'm doing well! thanks jon for playing my god is my co-pilot request! (even if i was still asleep)

Hey Addie! glad to hear you got some snow up your way

Ahh yes Santa's black heart 🤘🎅🤘

@readie it is perfect out for burning our belated Yule log today!

Crushin me with this Velvet Christmas

Blaise, I liked the first half of the VU doc but I loved the second half of the VU doc.

@coastal.loon and a bit of ice as well, but I’ve got nowhere to be today! Just chillin with y’all.

Our lives were saved by Jon Solomon's 25-hour Holiday Marathon ROCK & ROLL 🎸🎶

Aww yeah, @Addie! A yule log, snow and ice glistening, and listening to Jon-athon!

@christine +++++++

@Addie solid plan, no sense in messing with some icy roads today.

AND IT WAS ALRIGHT!

YES @Christine!

*healing guitar solo*

Has anyone contributed as Doug and/or Billy Yuletide?

You should slide in one of those Macaulay Culkin Pizza Underground songs just to be funny

Guitar solos are sick!

Doug Yule-tide - that's genius!

G'night Lou. 😢

the Feelies should've contributed a song for this set

nice sampling here!

Agree with Christine.

@Carl Z haha

hello beatles

I'm awake...ish

omg Nico lmao

we are dying over here! so great

Did I miss more Deth Elf?

What a good nico

This whole set is great, but this Nico is hilarious. Can't stop laughing.

I'm laughing and upsetting the dog over here...

Santa Claus pronounced like Klaus Nomi!!!

Doug Yule Log

Not a Creature Was Sterling

hey this is great - what a cool idea to combine them together - love love love

not a creature was sterling - pretty good!

Still blows my mind that Lou Reed was married to Laurie Anderson. Not that I would not expect weirdness from either of them. Just a weird fit.

I was vacuuming during the announcement i think

@Roffle, my favorite "celebrity" couple.

Any chance of a Ghost Santa in the Sky sighting? Lol 🤠

👍 Christine!

omg I thought for a nanosecond it was the ...nevermind...no jinxing....

Alana sources say very soon!

Santa B good...do what you should 🎶 🎅

My buds from dub proof ! 🔥🔥

Big up Jon

This one I found through you Jerry!

My favorite Velvets song! That live 1969 version is so good and long.

Salute!

Hey! Thanks my friend. Big ups to you sir -

Such a good set! Great for a Christmas day run

Dying to see where this song goes...

On our way to pick up Chinese food and couldn't have picked a better set for our drive.

Hats off to DJ Tenderloin! 🎅 This is inspired.

this is Fun Timez

Dj tenderloin 🔥🎶🔥🔥🎶

DJ Tenderloin does not play!

DJ Tenderloin! Respect!!!!!

🙌 💯

aw shucks y'all. make a boy blush....

The three new additions to this set brought it up another level.

Thanks for the vibes Tenderloin

Wow dj t 🦌 so good

available on soundcloud - just search dj tenderloin - on my xmas mash up record

thanks again er'body - and big thanks as always to Jon - who brings the shiznit every damn year! Go Jon!

These VU songs are just as good as the originals!

There he go.

I need to tighten up when some of these sets lie but noon feels good for VU.

aMAZING QUALITY

I’m in the shower drinking beer so this is the perfect time.

@joey lol

First thing in the morning for a true VU fan

These two songwriters both have an knack for putting story up front in their music.

Joey's got the waterproof phone and err'thing

This song rules

I'm back! Just needed a quick shower pick-me-up.

Bam!

what chef said

@Michael Schmelzer - Full on waterproof bluetooth these days. Top shelf way to go.

Merry #WPRBXmas, Mr. Mike!

HUGE bam

Be careful; the shower is slippery. You may spill your beer.

1:38 = second Misfits set, Fall after, [redacted], JRLP...will there be any time left?!

Time will tell.

Did Dead Moon make the cut this year (might have been sleeping)

How much would a Sister Ray adaptation mess up the timing of next year's set?

They could! I am pulling now.

Unless time is redacted!

Oh, I need my roommate to get up from her nap...The Fall intro is her least favorite 😈

I gotta hang some socks, shovel the walks, & decorate the tree

We spent a surprising amt of the year saying "The Fall" like ten times in a row if someone says the word "fall"

Chef Tip™: connect your shower to a bubbling hot keg to bathe yourself in the beer itself, and enjoy a frosty plastic pitcher of tap water

Make some pies and chill the wine, ain't got much time

We don't smoke or drink or tell you what we think We got resolutions

Happy Holidays friends of Jon

Rockin' Glockenspiel

Even when she was what??? Will we ever know???

Glockenspiel was one of the coolest things I in band... lol

Perhaps someday we can have a King Kong Xmas set.

@Chef: spoiler--- (she was shucking clams)

I love the Staple Singers!

Hattie is dancing to this. i like this mashup so much!

All Jandek

as someone who makes mashups i'd like to take a moment and give some props to mojochronic, who i don't know or anything, but has made some of the best mashups ever - his? hers? zeppelin, motown, 70's funk, etc. xmas mashups are inspiring.

Great set! That was a great final mashup. Agree on the staples singers!

@christine WOW I knew it. Never thought wprb would participate in clam censorship #clamgate

I started making a Christmas version of The Gift but stopped due to quality control issues.

@DJ Tenderloin - And something that works in a timeless sorta way every year.

@Chef, the lyrics were too muddy.

ok @jon! share that link. i want to see you as a dope peddler!

The gift is already a new years song cuz of the mummers.

Whoa! Christmas version of The Gift?!? Great idea :)

I'm holding myself to doing a doom metal version of wonderful Christmastime next year

RUTABEG A)))

It’s already called THE GIFT! It’s a Christmas song.

@christine !!!!

Love love love the Velvet Lou Christmas set Jon!

@Dennis Lingg - The Mummers are go for this year in Philly. Wonderful world.

Josh delivers

@joey fair point!

We just recorded a Christmas reworking of Highwayman by the Highwayman called Christmasman... hmm

I did magic once.

Love this story <3

Ah, it wouldn't be Christmas without this one!

Josh if youse guys see this that was fuckin’ beautiful; Rutabega Forever

I remember this story - s'good one

Oh, yes! I love both Dave Hill pieces.`

Keep checking in on Jon's beard on the live feed from time to time to see where we are in the show. lol

This sounds like a plot to a Peewee movie or something. I like it.

I made sure to shave yesterday!

NGL this story is my favorite.

@Jon - You are a professional! We expect nothing less. :) I love that you have the same focused look on you face. Priceless.

All thru the show

@Jon, can we get some espresso delivered to your door? ☕ Do you need anything?

I find it bizarre that every year I forget how this ends. Maaagic ✨

No coffee until 12/26!

I got so many bags of beans from N&M today.

Gonna play some rocket league while jamming out to Misfits o clock part 2

Noice!

Casugas / Carl = XO

@Kevin M - I think you might have a good idea there.

It gets the adrenaline pumping

I didn't miss the Fall set did I???!?

Great story!

@Kevin M - Gaming to Gregorian Chants doesn't always cut it.

Time flies... ⌚

HOW do I forget this story end every year?? It's so good!

That's a heck of a payoff!

and that's how you make a christmas story. great!

I hope Ed is happy and well

@christine perfect comment ❤️

I think David Hill had an Ed Magic update on his Twitter at some point...

Ah yes, drunk Danzig

Chrisfits!

@donutage - IKR... Too good!

The Residents could do a cover of this too, and I would not know the difference.

gonna tell Garth we opened for the Misfits

so jon--- about that Waiting For the Man video of you and david nagler---- how can we find it?

or did i imagine you mentioning that because of my exhaustion?

I will share it shortly.

[thumbs up emoji]

I always think of the Cleveland Show scene where they cover this song.

👍 Here's another. Thanks interweb.

Reporting back for the final stretch ✨

@Kevin M--- you in particular might appreciate this. I met Glenn Danzig in the Denver Airport in 2016 as I was about to fly home from the Phish Dicks shows and he was flying home from Riot Fest.

Oh wow!

Nice!

Hi, DJ JonSolomon FamBam!!

Wish I had the ingredients for some French Onion Soup in honoür of Danzig

Start about 6:30 in, Sebastian...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBootIPEg0M&t=8s

@Kevin M we went thru security at the same time. i got to see him with nothing on his feet except black socks. We chatted for a minute and snapped a pic together. My best celebrity interaction ever.

Hey Jon. My friends Jimmy and Kathy just got over to listen in for a bit. Would it be too much to ask for a shout out to them?

thanks @jon!

Brendan have you been here for the full ride?

There's something far more embarrassing in there I have zero recollection of. Yikes.

Also, MrM have you not slept either?

Me to awake roommate: I'm so glad you're awake for The Fall!

Roommate: I will leave the whole-ass house

Y’all deserve a 🏆

CB is the room all finished being painted?

0-2 in rocket league but having a blast so whatever

If I ever paint another room, I'm gonna sign it at the bottom just because.

Hard flex Roffle, respect.

this was my favorite - saw the misfits in 1983 at Wilson Center DC (church basement)

I’ve been here all night. Slept because of a wonky headache at hour two 🥺 for maybe 4 hours. Boo. JonSolomon is a TROOPER!

One of the best.

@DJ Tenderloin - Thought you were going Glassboro there... lol

Did the Misfits play Glassboro?

Dunno

Glassboro? I grew up in DC - was a punk rock kid. early 80s. Got to see everybody you could probably think of. Never saw Fear. was thinking that earlier when Jon played a Fear inspired one

Wilson Music Building in Glassboro is cool though

Used to be a venue there that was a former movie theater that was being used as a boxing venue but bands would play in the boxing ring.

ahhh - got it.

I’m gearing up to paint the 2nd half of the room. I’m doing accent colors so the taping and whatnot takes a bit. Staring off to the avoid and drinking coffee for a bit.

@Jim, that sounds amazing!

I posted pics on my insty of the process so far. Lookin nice so far :-) thx for asking 😊

Going over to my 75 yr old mom’s for Christmas. Going to see if I can convince her to sit through the whole Fall set.

Wait! She’s 76! What year is it?

Staring off *into the void…

This set does the Garden State proud.

Deth Elf up after Misfits!

Ahhhh!

@DJ Tenderloin - Spent My very young punk years in NJ. Worthy experience, and always a simple train ride into NYC..

Hey, Merry Christmas everyone!

Lol on this

Oh happiness!! Xmas is here!! 💀🤘🎅🏻

Roffle - you must've seen shows at the city gardens yeah?

This is incredible

this is hilarious btw

Is it ok if I upload to Bandcamp now so I don’t have to take my laptop to my mom’s?

Epic

Wilson Hall is a proper theater-type venue. Saw Hugh Masakela there I think, no punk bands for sure.

CB it's staring off into the void time for sure

@DJ Tenderloin - Probably so. I was young. CBGB did not really card anyone back then.

I wonder how many times reindeers are named over the course of a marathon

DSM 😄🌀

@DJ Tenderloin - Nor most of the Village area for that matter.

Omg the Jelly

Hey Jon - is this generally easily available via interweb? This has great mash-up potential, being acapella...

Wonder if this was one take or what.

I just found it on the youtubes

I am happy to make it available for you post-marathon if needed!

Two Inch Winky delivers yet again!

CB-perfect. thanks! Roffle - I skipped school once, hopped a bus with friends to NYC, bought a really bad fake ID, which in turn got me into see the Ramones!

WE ARE 12/25.

@DJ Tenderloin - You monster you!

Two inch winky yeah!

I’m sending the link for acpaella danzig to so many of my friends

@CB, that's a quality and involved paint job, good job! (checked the pics)

@CB - Sounds like a Todd Rundgren dream.

Howdy, 2 o'clock Party Peeps! 🐥🐥🐥⚡⚡⚡

Glad to see y'all are still here, Jon, you are not human!

@jimbeaux, ho ho howdy!

OMG, this set! Time to check up on Jon's beard shadow.

LOL Jon@ Well met

it's nice to know we live in a world where there's room enough for Chrisfits, Christmisfits, and Misfitsmas

@DJ Tenderloin - Indeed!

that was BRACING! thank you

DSM, thx! ☺️

Jon I am leaving to visit my dad in the hospital :-( I will try and continue to tune in

Take care Jeff

@Jeff Jotz - Merry wishes to your dad! And all of yours.

DETH ELF! DETH ELF!

hugs to you and your Dad, Jeff

DETH ELF

Oh Jeff. Did not know. Hope you are all as well as possible.

ok, caught up on the chat. I missed the launch this morning

Rawr

Oh Jeff, I’m sorry. Good luck to you.

What what's the thing it's based on?

and @CB You have a Siberian too?!

elf bear!

Best rendition yet !!

Das Kaltes Eis! ❤💚 must download immediamente

I mean Deth Elf

Eisbär Elfbear? I'm in!

I got about a half hour until we need to leave for New Lenox.

Or The Mighty Fall as they're known to us!

@Jeff sending good vibes

the rutabega song: https://soundcloud.com/theseknottylines/a-coda-for-saint-nicholas

THE FALL THE FALL THE FALL THE FALL

The Fall The Fall The Fall The Fall The Fall The Fall /John Peel voice

The Fall The Fall The Fall The Fall

So the page turns again like lief in the wind. Falling all around.

Ladies and gentlemen… THE FALL

ALL FALL, Y'ALL 🍁🍃🍂

Good evening, they are TheFall!

Jon on the airwaves takes in some air. Go bro!

NO X-MAS FOR JOHN QUAYS LET’S FUCKIN’ GOOOOOOOOOO

Sun Hammers here in Philly. Good stuff!

Finally, it's Christmas.

shrug emoji wink emoji

Baby Jesus and john peel dancing wild with all the egg nog they can drink which is all the egg nog there will ever be.

thanks to the wonders of technology, my brother & i are each listening in one airpod and sparing my mother's fragile ears

The Fall!! I am back from birding and hearing this! :-DD

Hurray for Xmas day birding! And the fall

We're out for a while at Mary's mom's, but thanks for playing both of ours, Jon!

@elliot - But maybe, just maybe you could turn her to this side of the Schwarz? Might not be all bad... Just sayin'

I'm birding in my mind.

A holiday tradition-ahh!

Love the king mistletoe jr! Another marathon induced classic

@Rob, how was birding today...Did you do a Christmas bird count?

We are leaving but will listen in the car. Merry Xmas from me and John (who some chat peeps know)

I must admit I don’t like Christmas in England because everywhere closes down for three weeks. It’s disgusting. You can’t get any bread or milk and that’s what the song’s about. Christmas is more of a family time…where families can beat each other up. — Mark E. Smith

Time to hit the North...Pole 🎅

HIT THE NORTH POLE!

@Christine, it was nice. We ran into friends, and saw cardinals, sparrows, and vultures. We were looking for the Northern Shrike but once more didn't see it

@Blaise, yes! Xmas day birding and The Fall

Whoa hit the north pole is new to the marathon, correct? I like!

Brand new. Thank you Gotobeds!

HELL YEAH

Birds that hang out for winter are kickass Rofflestomp favorites. They have moxie!

I'm so glad that I am catching the All Fall set. I missed it last year (which was my first marathon)

A christmas miracle: I slept almost the whole day (sick) but still managed to catch the FALL SET

Roffle & Christine, we also saw Northern Pintail, Bufflehead, and American Black Duck, 2 or 3 of each

So good by the gotobeds

This soothes my brain

The Fall

@Rob, a respectable haul, along with the Fall

One of the best.

Can't beat The Fall!

Jannon, it is a Christmas miracle! Feel better!

Falling from grace is epic!

@Christine, yes. Especially The Fall

crossing my fingers, and praying while I scan the playlist to check whether or not I missed the Phelps set

Take a fall everyone

thanks @Rob !

Phelps follows Fall (easy for you to say)!

But between this set and JRLP...something will happen.

YES YES YES YES

On the edge of my seat here Jon!!!

Hi Jon! Looking forward to Phelps for sure!

Hark!

Hey Alan, Waking from rocket deram my friend?

So why did they make so many holiday songs? Delightful that they did. But is there a secret history? Like john peel commissioned them to make an annual Christmas song?

Looking forward to the something that will happen, @Jon

Take care everyone. I'm off to xmas dinner. My friend and her husband did Beef Wellington this year. I'll be listening in the car. *waves*

I love when something happens

@ Jon Yes, I was very impressed! Wow. the Fall then Phelps ++++Wow

Hi Christine, Rob et alia...

HI Alan!

@ Rob: No snowbirds yet???

excellent entry by the Gotobeds.

To paraphrase a station id from earlier this year, is it Fall enough is it Fall enough is it Fall enough is it Fall enough is it Fall enough is it Fall enough is it Fall enough WPRB Princeton

I'm heading off to York, PA shortly. Will be listening via headphones in the backseat of the car because my dad doesn't "get it". (that makes me feel like I'm 15 again)

Hi Dana K, Good for you! Healing music...

Like the Little Drummer Boy, there is no mention of John Peel in the Bible, and yet the pastiche of him endlessly announcing The Fall may be my favorite Marathon tradition.

Safe travels, @Dana K

3 hours left on the clock.

Keep one earbud in, Dana!

Bon voyage, Dana K

Safe travels Dana K!

As MrMalcontent would say, only 3 hours left? I'm cry 😭

Christine, I'm cry too, turns out 25 hours is not enough!

Guys, we gotta save some Jon energy for next year....

Water off a duck for Jon! Thanks the stuff we are.

thanks everyone! merry xmas!

safe one Dana...bcnu

Totally Tired: apropos for certain radio-history-making DJs

@Christine Exactly!

@Christine - Only been listening to This since 2011, but so correct!

Hi Christine! Saw one Totally Asskicking Rocket launch this morning...Very Impressive....

spotted a dance party on the live stream

@Alan, hi! I'm so glad you got to see the Webb Telescope launch live 🚀 🛰 🔭 🌌

@ Christine: Fingers still crossed...

That dance party felt good.

Dancing gets it out somehow.

Even better when no one is watching...lol

@Alan, there should be some partying if/when the telescope reaches L2 around January 23rd

@ Christine: I'll do my Moon walk...

@Christine - When that mother of all current telescopes goes online, It's a huge win for all of us who care something other than a flat earth theory, and just need to know in the depths of our very curious human spirit!

Best Christmas gift!

Oooooohhhhhhhhh!! What a buildup.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh sh--

😳

OMG OMG OMG

Whaaaat?!

Whoa

Nice Jon!

Thank you Jon!

I'VE NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE-ah!

Me neither, Chris!

Making fried matzah and caffeinating before tackling the last of the paint job. Cheers to all. Let’s do this.

Well I was planning on going for a walk. I just blasted the ALL FALL set to every one in a three block radius of my me in CLIFTON HEIGHTS

You go, Dan!

Sorry in advance, y’all!

wtf NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE

@CB - May those walls of paint survive beyond Pompeii!

guess I should crack that third MAD ELF

@jannon yeah!

@Jannon: truth!

@Neil, this is you?! Cool awesome

This is bad ass

Hats off to Neal! 💯 What a gift.

@neal Brilliant! I'm sure MES would have caustic things to say about it, though

srsly NEAL

or NEIL

We are so happy at our house right now!!

whichever!

Thanks Neal and Jon! Talk about a Christmas treat!

Thx Roffle! 😄

Putting the MES in XMES

This is so good

Neal heck yeah!

hell yes

This is AMAZING

@CB - Really man, sign it! Let the historians figure it out. lol

Highly enjoying Thank you @Neal!

GIFT PRIEST

here's a new gift, dan

Gift Priest is a keeper.

but it's outta reach!

_I'm dying over here_

Where the hell is Greg Lyon right now?

no shit, right

This is taking ambition to a whole new level! Speechless.

I got my last green Santa suit out of the wardrobe :-DDD

He is not.....

appreciated

wow - so it's really the entire record? this is beyond the realm...

when is the Joel RL Phelps set? I hope I did not miss it

this is uh-inspired-uh

Please tell me this lives somewhere on the internet somewhere where we can find it later???

@dan cohoon after this

My best friend has a 139 IQ and is a musical genius and he does your exact same pace moves. Not surprised at all. Thank for so much good music you have shared. He did that for me too.

Loving this so much

139 as a kid

@Dan R it will end up on Bandcamp tonight I believe.

This is amazing.

Sounds like modern lovers

someone needs to page chester

His sled is in the back-uh

His sled is in the back-ah

Snaildartha/Hexmas crossover time!

BRB, adding ‘“uhs” to the end of every word I’ve ever said

I can't stop cracking up. This is the best. Shipping in winterrrrrr

I was wondering how Winter was going to unfold. Brilliantly!

home-uh

yeah-ah

right uh

I can't believe I was briefly considering skipping the last few hours and almost missed this glory

You can surprisingly to the Electric Slide to this song. I just tested it

Ya gotta listen to this track on laptop and FM simultaneously 3 sec delay

I hope that at this point Jon's just gonna play all of hexmas, right-uh?

The Winter songs are everything I was hoping they could be, and more!

@Alan Pasnyk - I love certain delay overs!

Two hours...Time is just gonna go fast now...aw man!

@ Roffle: It works for call and answer effect

Instant Replay...

Alright! I'm back.

@Alan Pasnyk - The glide plane is ready to set flaps for the landing approach! Just not yet.

Just listened to Egg Nog by Luna on repeat in the car. Discovered it on the marathon a few years ago. Such a beautiful song

@Jon how do you keep raising the bar bar each year??????????

OMG Who fills the stockings!!!!!!!!

RED FELT FEET

This year the best works were surprises from friends with visions who get the spirit of the the thing. This, Maura's Wet Leg cover. I wasn't expecting either they just...arrived.

Merry Christmas all ⭐✝️🎄🔥❄☀️

The same to you, Ossy.

Great holiday playlist so far, Jon ⭐

Bessed be them folk!

Say Ossy!

>>>>Ossy:🎄🎄🎄🎄

Blessed... Ya konow...

No digit disciple left.

Iceland checking in

Just in time for Christmas in Iceland!

Sleepy volcanoes for a bit!

summoned like a spell

This Chicago Now album is such a wonderful surprise treat

Was tough to keep quiet about for the past week+ that's for sure.

Can't imagine the amount of time and work that went into this. Is it all one guy?

Yep, just me - but didn’t take too long

That is a sign of the good work!

Worked on it in parts here and there.

I look forward to Fall message boards learning of this. Let us know when the Bandcamp is live please!

Sir - it is AMAZING. You are too humble - an amazing piece. Excellent work! Happy Holidays-ah

Next level of live? Build that castle!

agreed with DJ Tenderloin

Checking beard time.

No beard!

lol

This is extraordinary! Neal, did you record a couple tracks in Iceland for verisimilitude?

The Shadow Knows!

Pat - I wish!!

This is simply incredible. Well done, Neal!

On every road is black ice!

The smoke detector sounds are piercing

Dan, Neal is the same person who did the Eusa Bells record you played this week.

yeah! this is bonkers

The sun sets in Philly. So funny today, more than others.

The end is rapidly approaching!

Not to mention the end of the show

@jon oh cool!

Here’s that BC LINK

https://nealmarkowski.bandcamp.com/album/hex-mas-enduction-hour

Consider that link clicked!

All money goes to Planned Parenth

Ood

Bravo!

Hells yeah!

And bought! Thanks, Neal!

Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you Jon Solomon!

It never all fits! You have too much good music to share with us, Jon!

JAWS! Omaha represent!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Neal, you do some Lucier pieces. Nice!!!

Wow I really loved that too - man so much goodies

Good! Yes!!!

I won't quite be making it to the close, so let me thank Jon now for yet another amazing marathon. You generosity is matched only by your endurance! Merry Xmas to all!

Wow!

JRLP!

A master of music. And timing.

You beat me to it Carl!! JRLP

It's been a heck of a day.

Hey - how can I get Christmas Train from Tri State Santa? also - I think I know Sohrab from my DC days - from EDSEL right?

JRLP equals brilliant. Such magnificent songwriting.

Happy holidays all! Jon - thanks for spinning Tri-State Santa. Available on bandcamp here: https://savak.bandcamp.com/track/christmas-train

Radical. There's your answer DJ Tenderloin!

And DJT, yes that is Sohrab from the mighty Edsel! Also, what up Corvair Heather! Omaha reppin hard!

My fave part of the marathon.

Well you can tell him hello from Jon Jolles - a friend of Jim Saah

I just purchased Hex-mas Enduction Hour (and Let's Have A War On Christmas and Yule Log too)!

Phelps...yes....

JRLP x 🎄 = ❤️ x ∞

@Jon: It's a Christmas miracle! My rip of the stream hasn't died once yet. Fingers crossed it lasts til 6!

Don't jinx it in the middle of Joel's set!

Is there a way to view the whole playlist? It seems to only go back til about 5AM

@rossisdead, here's the other playlist https://spinitron.com/WPRB/pl/14908224/Jon-Solomon

I have been like, actually intersecting with family in a Christmas-y manner but i heard bits of that Chicago now set and WOW

thanks, Rob!

*it starts at 5 pm yesterday

And thanks for buying our single rob!

Yr most welcome, ross and Commie!

I have to catch up on all the parts of the show I missed

@Carl Zimring - Don't believe in jinx. Wprb spirit trumps jinx.

Same here. Recorded whole marathon and no drops. Unbelievable luck!

It's a testament to how much new music has been sent to this show that it seems "Twas The Night Before Christmas Philly Style" isn't going to make it this year.

This is my second marathon, but last year it looks like I only listened to the 24th for <6 hours and maybe the final hour on the 25th. This may become a tradition for me and my wife

It was in but had to cut it out of the set where it sat for time.

Ah.

Joe Frank?

I can't believe it'll be the last hour.

I missed most of the Fall set for dumb Family stuff! Really enjoying this years marathon!!

I can't believe New Years Eve and Day is next week, and I remember the beginning of 2021 like it was yesterday

An hour left, and I got to tune back in as I cook dinner.I hope everyone is having a great day!

So glad I remembered to tune in this year!

(joking, I mean, I still missed it, but I’ll make it through somehow)

Not doing New Years in Times Square ever again. Fun, but then you have no choice but to commit. Better have a plan. I did not.

Dude Jon how are you still walking around

Ossy, I can’t wrap my head around it being 2022!

Feeling good right now, AB. Ask me again at 8 pm or so.

yeah it's that home stretch adrenalin. like birthing a child

Pardon me if I start to cry

This is the penultimate track of Joel's set, his new contribution wraps it all up.

Good Guess Who reference.

this one kills me every time

@dan cohoon yep

Fender guitars working for their cost. I can work with this.

if you thought i played the Ghostface Xmas loud

So much emotion in these songs. Perfect for reflecting on a year gone by.

Well said.

So appropriate...

Pies: Have Landed. In Oven. Un- trad Crimmus lasagne underway by Teen Chef. Hang in there, Santa Solomon!

@rossisdead i recorded the terrestrial broadcast and it's still going strong though I missed 1:02pm-2:55 today because of an tech issue on my end

@Sebastian it sounds better with static

Fuck Jon, you bring it home for exactly why I listen to you. Thanks man.

Also the best guitar tones

@Dan and you definitely get a little static here in Philly but through not using the radio's antenna but instead using the power cord as its antenna taped up inside my front window with scotch tape I got a nice strong signal. why it worked like it did?, no idea!

Roffle, that means a bunch. Has been a special eight hours or so for me today.

This one's more of a rock song than I expected. No complaints!

Your the best! Love you man. You get it!

@Jon: Thank You and gotta tell you that you Saved Christmas for me this year. Both parents passed on and this is last Christmas in Mom’s house. But your show, kept me going….Well Done!

Wow, that's heavy Alan. Happy to play some small part.

yeah this current JRLP song is very good

almost Neil + Crazy Horse-y!

not sure how you do this every year!

I'm curious to see if it is the length the track says or not. For a comical series of reasons I wasn't able to preview his new mixes and song but he promised they were AOK and there is trust established.

The one time today my feed cuts out, and it's in the middle of Joel's new song.

So I'm hearing this for the first time too!

got to keep it interesting the last hour! the joys of radio! :)

But what I heard at the beginning could have been on Blackbird. I say that with awe.

Radio is the best. You know this Lauree.

Love all these crazy spinners here too. Your my best you guys. You made my ears a better place. And I really, really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!

Digging every minute of this new jrlp. Love a good, long outro

i'm floating

thought for a second Jon had managed to beat-match his jingle bells

What a Great Wrap Up!!! Wow!

I will happily pay for Just Been Born. Even missing 4-5 minutes, it was epic.

⭐❄

❤️

Is Maggie excited about The Book of Boba Fett?

Hey Kiddo! Do you know your dad is a genius? And does cool music for us to learn?

Awwww, DJ•Daughter!

STAR WARS ♥️

Lol, You have points! Good job!

Wish I had her memory talents!!

Checking in late this year! Thank you for the marathon as always from Huntington Beach, CA!

star wars c/nc

Will the show be available on demand after so I can listen to the six hours I missed?

CHAD HARDCHEESE

I don't know if my fever is spiking again or what but I feel like I've entered a dimensional xmas vortex

Hey everybody - gotta sign off now, gotta eat dinner with neighbors - Jon I think this was the best one ever. Thank you so much - you are the best, sir. Much love to everybody - Happy Holidays! See you next year :)

love hearing from Maggie!

Maggie!

DJ•Daughter, Happy Holidays!

Oh no, Jannon.

So great

one of my fav memories from last years show was her talking about getting her mandalorian socks

@DJ Tenderloin, thanks for the holiday tunes! Looking forward to you uploading your piece up to your soundcloud account

I don't know why I just thought it was so cute and it stuck with me

Thanks for another year, and may you and your dad do many more!

Relevant to today's discussions: https://twitter.com/PulpLibrarian/status/1474870629555916802

DJ Tenderloin, cheers and Happy Holidays!

Julia, I mentioned that same thing early this morning. The “did you out grow-gu them’ became a common phrase in my household

Maggie forever!

ahahahah im glad it's not just me!

Cheers, DJ Tenderloin

jesus this is so beautiful

(nothing religious intended)

BAM how is everyone's dinner turning out

Is the show available on demand afterward so I can listen to the 6 hours I missed?/

@Chef, dinner was delicious here: homemade ravioli & red gravy. How about you?

I don't know if it's quarantine or what, but the new contributions to this year's marathon are phenomenal.

Cheers to all the Dears, especially those with Big Marathon Ears! Happy Holidays! ❄️💙☃️

Whalin' with more Wailers's

😭 this song

Hi Lizbot! Yeah same here.....

I'm eating a loaf of bread without even cutting into it- just rip style

A touch of SOTC 💚💛🖤

christmas dinner is a little underwhelming this year....... in a delightful way of course

Makin' me smile Julia!!

@CHEF- lentil soup over here! 🍲

Thanks Jon! It was a pleasure to spend 25 hours with you!

You are all very nice. Hustling to be done by 6!

Yay!

Ripping bread is so right

I can't believe it's just about been 25 hours already

Thanks Jon! What an awesome trip!

I swear christmas eve and day fly by like no other days of the year

oh I just opened a kombucha we're getting extravagant

rock rock jingle rock bell bell bell

Thank you for this year's marathon, Jon! This may become our Christmas tradition...

@Jim did that one play yet??

seconding jim

Jim, kid has to pick between this and Jingle Rock Bell. This survived.

I've definitely sang "Jingle Rock Bell" at least three times today

So...you better not sleep 🚫😴

Art forgeries anyone?

Enjoying this very much

No acts of political terrorism?! Aw shucks

Jingle Rock Bell is on YouTube THANK GOD

DJ JonSolomon! Truly so impressed by you and your Super Dazzling talents at making MAGIC for 25 hours! Take good care! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Biggest CHEERS and Kind Regards to you and your family!

Oh jeez, Santa's gotta a ton of people not on the list in NJ for that turn signal part lol

@rossisdead, here in Maryland too!

Objectively good advice here

Probably everywhere, Rob! lol

hahahaha

THIS IS AMAZING

Santa Claus: Ultimate Judge of Good & Evil ⚖

Now *that* is an old classic.

oh, it's time for the "will Mac make me cry *again* this year" game

Oh boy this one

this one is now a total classic and necessity

Yesssss

Goddamnit Jon. Feeling all the feels

I love this song so much

Is Emeril one of those guys that worked at City Gardens?

Gonna cry into the pineapple stuffing

This song is making me tear up

Oh Yeah man...this..

😿

Mac is a national treasure.

I completely forgot about this song after last year

Aw, Mac!

SIGH

THANK YOU, @Jon "Human Radio Station" Solomon for making radio broadcasting history ONCE AGAIN! 👏👏👏

Thank you Jon Solomon for another amazing year of music, truly what a treat it is to tune in year after year. Wishing you all a beautiful rest of the day and hopefully a brighter future. Be well all.

Hearing this reminds me I cannot wait for the new Superchunk out soon!

I work at Emeril's™! Dinner of seafood buffet shaped liked Santa's nude body was a huge hit with the Lagasses

BAM

Bam!

Thanks for another great show, Jon! I look forward to joining you again next year already!

ok, got choked up but didn't actually cry... only took five years to get to that point!

11 years for me, first year of chat stuff since early summer. So glad this is still real. Thanks man! Thanks WPRB!

Yes thanks as always Jon. You've become the soundtrack to my Christmas and I wouldn't have it any other way. We're lucky to have you on the waves throughout the year too!

Every Christmas Eve, once the show starts, I feel like I was just listening to the year before's show yesterday. Like all previous Christmas Eves merge together into one

Thanks Jon, truly appreciate all you do. Enjoy your incoming dinner and remaining Merry Christmas!

Feels the exact same to me ross

THANK YOU Jon!! And special thank you for playing the frootcake track yesterday, it was an honor <3 I've been introducing your marathon to my girlfriends family in Boston and it has been a great addition to a beautiful day <3 THANK YOU

This is our Christmas!

Theme song hits and im like "no way its been a year since the last time I heard this"

started crying hard during Prince Can't Die Again. It gets me every time!

Kevin: Yeah, exactly! It's like "Wow, it's been a whole year already"

This was another great one, Jon! Got to share a little bit of it some family this year (who didn't run away screaming!), which was nice. Thank you!

Thank you Jon for sharing your gift with us all these years. And for the best Christmas music in the world

Thank you so much Jon, PEACE!

Thank you so much for doing another marathon

Thanks Jon! You're my hero!

Thanks for providing another great soundtrack to Christmas, Jon! Love to everybody in the chat!

love all the new ones but my favorite is still Yo La Tengo - It's Christmas Time

Thank you, Jon. May your sleep tonight be restorative and have a terrific start to your 2022.

No Amy Annelle?

Did I not mention Hanukkah? Thanks for all!

Next year I need to bring back my tradition of requesting Ultra Hummus!

I'm trying to remember how long I've been listening but the earliest SPECIFIC memory I have is Jon talking about the new Wawa touchscreens and by then I considered it a tradition to listen. Merry Christmas, all! Off to finish my kid's laundry (NOW I'm the parent of an adult) and eat Chinese food!

Thanks @ Jon, you do us too much honor. Love to all WPRBeings! 💗

Congrats on another amazing marathon!

🥂

Does anyone know if Jon pipes the music through his house all day?

Bravo Jon. Thanks again. My last year in Paraguay. Wonderful music.

Thanks, Jon! Merry Xmas and get some sleep.

Yep, two speakers as monitors.

Jon you rule. This year’s show was a beaut. I hope you get lots of sleep! Thank you for being you!

LA LA LA

This was so good, as always. Been listening since mid 90s, I think? Thank you!!

Awesome!! Thanks again! Love this tradition. Have a great 2022 all!

HOLIDAY THANKSGIVING FESTIVAL TREE!

Another year of escaping the black hole of existential dread. Cheers to all.

Thank you so much Jon—this year was awesome (as always)!

THANK YOU SOLOMONS <3

Thanks, songs, bells.
