Bob Morrison	Santa Mouse "Santa Mouse" by "Bob Morrison"	Columbia Singles	Columbia	2017	Once there was a little mouse, who didn't have a name. He lived in a great big house, this mouse, the only mouse in the whole wide house. He day dreamed he had playmates who were friendly as could be. The little girls would bring their dolls, and dress up and have tea. The boys would play at cowboys or Eskimo or Spanish. But when he tried to touch them like a bubble they would vanish. Now through the years this little mouse had saved one special thing. A piece of cheese- the kind that makes an angel wants to sing. And so that night as he brushed his teeth and washed his tiny paws. He said my goodness no-one gives a gift to Santa Claus. So he ran to get his piece of cheese and after he had found it, Some paper from some chewing gum he quickly wrapped around it. And then he climbed in bed and dreamed that he was lifted high, And woke up to find that he was looking right in Santa's eye. Thank you for my gift he said now tell me what's your name, I haven't any said the mouse. You haven't that's a shame. You know I need a helper as I travel house to house. And I shall give a name to you, I'll call you Santa mouse. So here's your beard and here's your suit and here's each tiny shiny boot. You mustn't sneeze and you mustn't cough, Now put them on and we'll be off. Then over all the rooftops on a journey with no end, Away they went together, Santa and his tiny friend. And so this Christmas if you please, Beneath that tree that's in your house, Why don't you leave a piece of cheese, You know who'll thank you, SANTA MOUSE!	0:07:52 (Pop-up)

Deerhunter	Memory Boy "Memory Boy" by "Deerhunter"	Halcyon Digest	4AD	2010	This song reminds me of Christmas. Some of my favourite Christmas songs are songs that have nothing to do with Christmas. That way they work well in August, also. Listen to the melody and tell me this isn't a Christmas Song.	0:25:13 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Host Speaking	"Host Speaking"					0:28:35 (Pop-up)
The Fall	Noel's Chemical Effluence	The Fall Box Set 1976-2007	Castle Music / Sanctuary	1991	Another song that reminds me of Christmas. The alpine horns. The playfulness. Recorded in 1991 but not originally released until 1995 on a double "live" album (w/ two studio tracks, ie. this one). Sounds like it could be a lost Fall song from any era. Apparently, this is actually about a chemical toilet on a tour bus & the driver of that tour bus.	0:29:09 (Pop-up)
Colin Newman	Safe "Safe" by "Colin Newman"	Not To	Sentient Sonics	1982	Yes, this song reminds me of the season. It's the sleigh bells.

Kittinfish Mountain	A Turkey For Jesus	Kittinfish Mountain's Christmas Conundrum Pt2.	Kittinfish Mountain	2020	Be careful with that deep fried turkey!

Enjoy your Turkey!	0:50:57 (Pop-up)
The Beakers	Christmas Letter From Home	Four Steps Towards a Cultural Revolution	K Records	2004	This is a grumpy tune for the holidays and we are good with that. It's not all fun and frolic for everyone and we see and hear you. Make the holiday you want to make. For you.	0:51:55 (Pop-up)
Ohmme	Jing-a-Ling Jing-a-Ling "Jing-a-Ling Jing-a-Ling" by "Ohmme"	JNR Holiday Party Vol. 2	Joyful Noise Recordings	2019	Frenetic, kind of irritating, this tune screams HOLIDAY. It's the feeling of the the last few moments during the holidays where you're overwhelmed by all the expectations of the season then you just drop everything and say FUCK IT I'M DONE IT IS WHAT IT IS.	0:54:49 (Pop-up)
The Lovely Eggs	Tyrannasaurus Rex For Christmas	A Very Cherry Christmas	Cherryade	2009	Exactly the kind of holiday tune you'd expect and hope for from The Lovely Eggs!	0:56:57 (Pop-up)
Palmyra Delran	Coal In My Fishnet Stocking	Coal In My Fishnet Stocking EP	Palmyra Delran	2017	This one is for all the bad girls out there listening.	1:00:08 (Pop-up)
Holly Golightly	Christmas Tree On Fire	Christmas Tree on Fire EP	Damaged Goods	2006	Another holiday safety PSA. Check your christmas lights for loose wires and connectors, make sure your tree is well watered, and not near any curtains. Do not leave lit trees unattended! Be safe! Be well!	1:03:18 (Pop-up)

	🏝 ♥ 9:52pm Scott67: Bob* is his name!
	🏝 ♥ 9:52pm Derek Westerholm: The organ in that song reminds me (musically) of a rarish Devo song, "Bushwacked" -- we played it back to back (not on the show) and it was striking, the similarity... Wondering if it was a homage.

Bob Morrison	Santa Mouse "Santa Mouse" by "Bob Morrison"	Columbia Singles	Columbia	2017	Once there was a little mouse, who didn't have a name. He lived in a great big house, this mouse, the only mouse in the whole wide house. He day dreamed he had playmates who were friendly as could be. The little girls would bring their dolls, and dress up and have tea. The boys would play at cowboys or Eskimo or Spanish. But when he tried to touch them like a bubble they would vanish. Now through the years this little mouse had saved one special thing. A piece of cheese- the kind that makes an angel wants to sing. And so that night as he brushed his teeth and washed his tiny paws. He said my goodness no-one gives a gift to Santa Claus. So he ran to get his piece of cheese and after he had found it, Some paper from some chewing gum he quickly wrapped around it. And then he climbed in bed and dreamed that he was lifted high, And woke up to find that he was looking right in Santa's eye. Thank you for my gift he said now tell me what's your name, I haven't any said the mouse. You haven't that's a shame. You know I need a helper as I travel house to house. And I shall give a name to you, I'll call you Santa mouse. So here's your beard and here's your suit and here's each tiny shiny boot. You mustn't sneeze and you mustn't cough, Now put them on and we'll be off. Then over all the rooftops on a journey with no end, Away they went together, Santa and his tiny friend. And so this Christmas if you please, Beneath that tree that's in your house, Why don't you leave a piece of cheese, You know who'll thank you, SANTA MOUSE!	0:07:52 (Pop-up)
Cleaners From Venus	Could Be Christmas	Could Be Christmas EP	Mr. Mule	2019	A superfun song from the awesome and prolific Martin Newell.	0:10:03 (Pop-up)

Deerhunter	Memory Boy "Memory Boy" by "Deerhunter"	Halcyon Digest	4AD	2010	This song reminds me of Christmas. Some of my favourite Christmas songs are songs that have nothing to do with Christmas. That way they work well in August, also. Listen to the melody and tell me this isn't a Christmas Song.	0:25:13 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Host Speaking	"Host Speaking"					0:28:35 (Pop-up)
The Fall	Noel's Chemical Effluence	The Fall Box Set 1976-2007	Castle Music / Sanctuary	1991	Another song that reminds me of Christmas. The alpine horns. The playfulness. Recorded in 1991 but not originally released until 1995 on a double "live" album (w/ two studio tracks, ie. this one). Sounds like it could be a lost Fall song from any era. Apparently, this is actually about a chemical toilet on a tour bus & the driver of that tour bus.	0:29:09 (Pop-up)
Colin Newman	Safe "Safe" by "Colin Newman"	Not To	Sentient Sonics	1982	Yes, this song reminds me of the season. It's the sleigh bells.

Elastica	All For Gloria "All For Gloria" by "Elastica"	The Radio One Sessions	Strange Fruit	1994	One of two Traditional songs Elastica recorded for a John Peel Session in December 6, 1994; they decided to make it their "Christmas" session.	0:38:06 (Pop-up)
The Ailers Set	Hit The Snow "Hit The Snow" by "The Ailers Set"	The Last Match	Slumberland Records	2000	This album has a song called "Christmas Song" on it, but I feel like this is the one that really sounds Christmas-y.	0:41:06 (Pop-up)

Kittinfish Mountain	A Turkey For Jesus	Kittinfish Mountain's Christmas Conundrum Pt2.	Kittinfish Mountain	2020	Be careful with that deep fried turkey! Each year, fire departments respond to more than 1,000 fires related to deep fryers. Those fires cause serious burn injuries and more than $15 million in property damage. BE SAFE! Enjoy your Turkey!	0:50:57 (Pop-up)
The Beakers	Christmas Letter From Home	Four Steps Towards a Cultural Revolution	K Records	2004	This is a grumpy tune for the holidays and we are good with that. It's not all fun and frolic for everyone and we see and hear you. Make the holiday you want to make. For you.	0:51:55 (Pop-up)
Ohmme	Jing-a-Ling Jing-a-Ling "Jing-a-Ling Jing-a-Ling" by "Ohmme"	JNR Holiday Party Vol. 2	Joyful Noise Recordings	2019	Frenetic, kind of irritating, this tune screams HOLIDAY. It's the feeling of the the last few moments during the holidays where you're overwhelmed by all the expectations of the season then you just drop everything and say FUCK IT I'M DONE IT IS WHAT IT IS.	0:54:49 (Pop-up)
The Lovely Eggs	Tyrannasaurus Rex For Christmas	A Very Cherry Christmas	Cherryade	2009	Exactly the kind of holiday tune you'd expect and hope for from The Lovely Eggs!	0:56:57 (Pop-up)
Palmyra Delran	Coal In My Fishnet Stocking	Coal In My Fishnet Stocking EP	Palmyra Delran	2017	This one is for all the bad girls out there listening.	1:00:08 (Pop-up)
Holly Golightly	Christmas Tree On Fire	Christmas Tree on Fire EP	Damaged Goods	2006	Another holiday safety PSA. Check your christmas lights for loose wires and connectors, make sure your tree is well watered, and not near any curtains. Do not leave lit trees unattended! Be safe! Be well!	1:03:18 (Pop-up)

	🏝 ♥ 9:52pm Derek Westerholm: The organ in that song reminds me (musically) of a rarish Devo song, "Bushwacked" -- we played it back to back (not on the show) and it was striking, the similarity... Wondering if it was a homage.
