Good morning , sir. LC roast and LT tricolore reporting for duty. That's the lieutenant in the avatar. She's the current CO here at Camp Whistle Stop in Glen Burnie. She would like to say "Pace in terra, buona volont'a agli uomini" and could you please play Riu Chiu by the Monkees ?

Dan Morfitt:

Good Morning Lite Brigade!

Yep, Brian, my Salopian chum, I will be back in the Motherland for the Xmas break but back in JC for NYE! This is the last WFMU LITE before the holidays but we have one last shebang before 2023 breaks in to wreck the joint.

I only managed to watch 4/5 of Cunk on Earth last week. Got too distracted by a new Playstation5 and trying to connect a new router.

That conversation in the background of the Spice Girls certainly did not feel organic.

Dan Morfitt:

Enjoy Happymaan! My Green Card is precious and I think the only way I could move back to the UK is at the vanguard of the liberating force to arrest corrupt government members.

Everyone be safe on the roads in the US and Europe. It's either wet as heck or like an ice rink.

@Andy - Nothing here is played with any irony but thanks for your thoughts, Dad.

If you want, have a listen to Pseu's ace show from Thursday with The Lemon Twigs in the studio. It was excellent. www.wfmu.org...

Glad you enjoyed, @Bird! It's a very faithful cover from Blossoms and excellent because of it! They also do a wonderful Olivia Newton John cover that I've played before...
  5:22am
Andy:

@Dan nothing to do with 'Dad' whatever you meant by that but clearly you are "Mr Entertainer' which is a bit odd for WFMU don't ya think?
  5:25am
Andy:

Oh and if you wern't being ironic then God help us. I'll just make sure not to tune in when you are on air. Each to their own. Out.
Avatar 5:25am
Dan Morfitt:

@Andy, it's the season of goodwill to all. No skin off my nose if you don't like every song played, we're not obliged to play to an audience of one.

Apologies for not being earnest and reverential about every track, I thought music was meant to be enjoyed.

Dan Morfitt:

Thanks @AndrewC! Even I don't like every song I play!

But, as you already understand, I never play anything with a sense of irony. Anything recorded has gone through so many stages of craft, finesse and difficult birth, I cannot dismiss anything as a 3 minute joke. Everything on WFMU LITE is played with love!

You are correct...Dan has a FANTASTIC show!!
