	6:12pm Don-O: ↳ doctorjazz @6:10 Welcome to Holiday Crap on this Crappy weather, Doc.
	6:12pm Dean: Tater Tots roasting?
	6:12pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:12 .....on the sidewalks of Bullhead City!!
	🎸 ♥ 6:12pm dale: i like tiny tots roasted. or broiled.
	6:13pm Stanley: Children and Christmas. What in the whole wide world could be worse?
	6:13pm Dean: Baby, it's cold inside.
	🎸 ♥ 6:13pm dale: only 156 shopping days til christmas. 157 if you stop at the gas station on the way to grandma's house.
	6:15pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:13 ....with the A/C blasting into financial bankruptcy!
	🎸 ♥ 6:16pm Aitch: Freezing down here right now, but we have Xmas in summer?
	🎸 ♥ 6:17pm dale: super fools used to be the super friends until mr. t pittied them.
	6:18pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:17 42 issued an EP on his YT channel a few months ago. Sadly, any link to the 'fools are old and out of date.
	6:19pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @6:18 I guess the pity got too much for them.
	6:21pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Christmas with The Superfools" by "The Super Fools" "Cheap Son Of A Bitch" Perfect for the holidays!
	6:22pm Dean: I'm a fan of Christmas music. Real Christmas music. O-l-d shit, 13th century. Just returned from an exhibit of objects and works relating to the Tudor dynasty. You know, Henry VIII is credited with penning "Holly and the Ivy."
	6:23pm Dean: British punk band The Boys did a Christmas album as The Yobs. Worth spinning a track or two, I'd say.
	6:23pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:22 Yup, that's hard core!
	6:25pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:23 Sounds interesting!! Will have to check it out after this show!
	6:25pm Dean: A Slayer song tonight...
	6:26pm Dean: In its own quaint way, "South of Heaven" is a Christmas song.
	6:27pm Dean: German for "one horse open sleigh" is Onehorseopensleigh.
	🎸 ♥ 6:28pm WR: we had that Chipmunks 45 EP. Utterly destroyed over the course of a few years.
	🎸 ♥ 6:29pm Asheville Jon: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!! (in July)
	6:30pm Dean: Only 150F? That's half-marathon weather.
	6:32pm Don-O: ↳ Asheville Jon @6:29 Enjoy the hot flaming snowballs of Holiday Hell from AZ, Ashville Jon!!
	6:32pm Mr Fab: HoHoDon-O! I'm sure we're not sweating as much as you folks in AZ are, but still nice to have some cool Yule sounds to chill to....Ah, who am I fooling, still sweatin so much I gotta make more costume changes than Cher..
	🎸 ♥ 6:32pm WR: Ah, come on, it isn't 150 ℉ outside there, it just feels like 150 ℉
	6:34pm Dean: (What's not so funny is that while it isn't 150F in AZ, it is 115F.)
	6:34pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @6:32 You must be sweating from me playing you former past self......
	6:35pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:34 We got so much now and ahead og us with this hot jazz, that I doesn't matter, it's all freakin' hot!
	🎸 ♥ 6:36pm WR: ↳ Dean @6:34 And apparently has been for a week or more.
	6:36pm Dean: When I worked a record store in SoCal, the manager was a disco fanatic. I remember reporting to work one day after he'd had a vacation. Asked him how it went. He replied, "All I can say is that it was snowing in Las Vegas." Har har.
	6:37pm Dean: You should just play an entire show of Natural Snow Buildings. That'd cool you off.
	6:40pm Dean: Santa used to ring his bell at 53rd & 3rd.
	6:43pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Santa's Acid Hawaiian Space-Disco" by "RIAA" OH my, we are going down memory lane. Which apparently runs parallel with Santa Claus Lane.
	🎸 ♥ 6:43pm WR: One year Sanity Clause brought us siblings a Webcor HiFi and the The Three Stooges EP and the The Chipmunks EP that I've heard sampled in the tracks today. Trying to recall the year but I think that's beyond my grasp.
	6:44pm Dean: Of course I recall Rudolph. In fact, he's the only reindeer I recall, because for fuck's sake he was the most famous reindeer, jerkoff!
	6:44pm Don-O: The reception is not as bad I feared, but it looks like I'll have to send a clean copy off to John and Rebecca later.
	6:48pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Santa's Acid Hawaiian Space-Disco" by "RIAA" Unrelated, I just got a copy of the latest 8-Track Mind zine and there's a article about using this format against "assholes" and some how there's a Mike Love connection in my head with this track!
	6:50pm Mr Fab: i kinda forget what these tracks sounded like...
	6:50pm Dean: Assholes. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
	6:51pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:50 ....but you can still fun of them and write about it.
	6:52pm Stanley: This is brilliant. No its not it's crap.
	6:56pm Dean: I'm shy about making fun of my asshole and committing it to writing.
	♥ 6:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I'll Be Home For Christmas" by "Mr. Fab" That was lovely!
	6:57pm Dean: "...if only in my dreams..." That's America right there.
	6:58pm Mr Fab: ↳ doctorjazz @6:57 Thanks!
	7:00pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:57 I'm thinking of that George Carlin quote about American dreams, buuuut that's getting too obvious by now.
	7:01pm Dean: Noted!
	7:03pm Androu B.: Merry Crapmas In Yule-y Don-O, Otis (wherever you are), Mr. Fab, Dean, WR & Aitch (G'day)! I can already see we'll be delving into a good number of tracks from the Santastic comps. That'll make for a fun (sleigh) ride!
	7:04pm Dean: In America, nothing is too obvious, sadly. Kinda OT, everybody should check out Donald Erb's amazing contrabassoon duets after the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QFH6RJ8CpI
	7:04pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @7:03 Good Smelly Hot X-mas of Crappy Spite, Androu B.!!
	7:04pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Dreaming of a White Elephant" by "Ergo Phizmiz" Ergo Phizmiz - former WFMU dj.
	7:06pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @7:04 Makes sense. I suspect I got this track from the WFMU Christmas compilation that was found on the old Free Music Archives.
	7:06pm Androu B.: ↳ Mr Fab @7:04 And frequent contributor to Do Or DIY.
	7:07pm Dean: Perhaps The Residents' finest moment, the album Eskimo.
	7:10pm Mr Fab: I now hate "The Christmas Song" - "so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to 92... Merry Christmas to you" yeah, well my mom is 93 now. So F--- you, Nat Cole!!
	7:12pm Dean: FU, NKC is, as my daughter would say, "Not camp appropriate!"
	7:14pm Dean: (She just returned from a camp where the counselors often upbraided the girls for putatively inappropriate behavior. Consequently, she spent her time telling the counselors that what they were doing was not "camp appropriate.")
	7:15pm Dean: "...eyes all aglow..." What they smoking?
	7:17pm Androu B.: ↳ Mr Fab @7:10 Merry Pissmas, Harley Clown!
	7:18pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @7:10 You better a side order of FU to Paul McCartney who now owns the song and edited it when he covered it to meat-less,
	7:19pm Dean: For some reason I gotta hear The Who, "Join Together."
	🎸 ♥ 7:19pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Christmas Massacre of Charlie Brown" by "DJ J... Enjoyed that.
	7:23pm Dean: One reason I can't abide by the concept of property is the notion that one "owns" something like "The Christmas Song" (or, for that matter, my own plot of land). I myself "own" land, but I am daily fearful that something will take it from me. Good on you, Mr. McCartney, but I for one don't experience music in terms of ownership.
	🎸 ♥ 7:26pm Cp304: Howdy crappers!
	🎸 ♥ 7:26pm Cp304: Howdy crappers
	7:27pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @7:26 Good Crappy X-mas Hot Hello, Cp304!!
	7:28pm Don-O: Program note: We are nearing the half way point of this episode!
	🎸 ♥ 7:28pm Cp304: I sawer riaa Christmas zip file scrolling thru tunes on old hard drive the other day, and even listened to santastic while working out.
	7:29pm Mr Fab: ↳ Cp304 @7:28 Wow, not even sure if I have em all haha, thanks to old hard drives going the way of, well, old hard drives.
	7:31pm Don-O: I fucked up. It looks like I'll be say good night twice with this show. That damned heat, you know.
	🎸 ♥ 7:31pm Cp304: I think that's the one with Gloria on it Fab
	🎸 ♥ 7:32pm WR: If this is the halfway point, then why were were you talking like it is over, or just the xmas segment over? Or?
	🎸 ♥ 7:33pm Cp304: It's Christmas in July, like the home shopping network
	7:34pm Don-O: ↳ WR @7:32 .....not enough egg nog. However, that stuff with this weather, I would have better luck with some nachoes from down the street.
	♥ 7:48pm Carmichael: I'm doing genealogy to this music. somehow it fits ...
	7:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Carmichael @7:48 hey Carmichael, I'm curious - how does one do geneology?
	🎸 ♥ 7:50pm Cp304: I can't clucky star carol of the bells
	7:50pm Don-O: ↳ Carmichael @7:48 Good/Bad Hot Flaming X-mas In AZ Hell, Carmichael
	7:52pm Mr Fab: ↳ Cp304 @7:50 ah, looks like the playlist needs an Artist name, in order to clicky-star. Or clucky star. Which sounds like the name of a prize chicken.
	7:52pm Dean: Did Tony Bennett sing Christmas tunes? Carol long ago moved from Bells. She's now in Bellflower.
	7:53pm Don-O: I do NOT know what I did between here and the Bonus Crap spot. The Heat?!
	7:54pm Dean: This Heat?
	🎸 ♥ 7:55pm WR: ↳ Mr Fab @7:52 yes, need an artist name and a title to have a favourite star to click.
	♥ 7:56pm Carmichael: ↳ Don-O @7:50 I'm in California, but no difference. It's 107 right now ...
	7:57pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Carol of the Bells" Is this People Like Us?
	7:57pm Mr Fab: ↳ Dean @7:52 he did a hip, swinging version of "Winter Wonderland." he was 96. So Nat Cole wouldn't wish him a merry Christmas either.
	🎸 ♥ 7:58pm WR: ↳ Dean @7:52 Hell yes Tony Bennett sang Christmas tunes. At least 3 whole albums, probably more en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 7:58pm Carmichael: ↳ Mr Fab @7:49 Heya Fab, I have an ancestry account. Start building a tree and watch the ancestors come rollin' in. Best names so far are Urania and Theosophus.
	7:59pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "My Favorite Things" by "Negativland & Wing" Did someone use AI to replace Julie Andrews Voice with Wing's?
	7:59pm Dean: Let me recommend my cataloging professor's book about these kinds of issues. It is Elaine Svenonius, The Intellectual Foundation of Information Organization (MIT Press 2000). Even though (or perhaps because) it appeared early on in the Web age, it gets to the heart of questions about what needs to be clicked and what not. Sir Tim Berners-Lee woiuldn't get it, nor would Brin or Page; they are blindered. https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/2796/The-Intellectual-Foundation-of-Information
	🎸 ♥ 8:00pm Cp304: ↳ Mr Fab @7:52 Bonus Crap!
	8:01pm Listener Robert: I never understood the distinction between the formal Hour of Crap and the bonus crap.
	8:02pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... I combed through the OTE Archives and they certainly did a lot of X-mas shows over the years! and Don Joyce was an athirst!
	🎸 ♥ 8:02pm Cp304: ↳ Listener Robert @8:01 Don -O gonna take us over the edge now
	8:03pm Dean: Good god, how does this guy behave come Easter time?
	8:03pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... I haven't caught up with the latest installments of Over The Edge lately, and I may never get to anyway. Too much good crap to mull through.
	🎸 ♥ 8:05pm Cp304: ↳ Don-O @8:02 I played one 2 or 3 yrs ago over at parents and dad said to turn it off lol
	8:05pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @8:03 Somewhere in the universe, Joyce is chuckling with everybody complaining that they can't climb that OTE mountain in one lifetime.
	8:06pm Dean: That "Dick" joke is just perennial. So funny!
	8:07pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... AH! That performance (well, the closing number, Car Bomb) is on YouTube!
	8:09pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @8:07 www.youtube.com...
	8:21pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... I don't know about you all, but it's kinda odd that I'm listening to all this X-mas crap while the sun is still out and blazing. Yea, I haven't fully gotten use to this AZ lifestyle yet....well, on this corner of it anyways.
	8:24pm Mr Fab: Ok, now The Grinch is hacking into the show. Ferget it Glinchy Claus: in a sound collage show, you can't interrupt anything - everything's already interrupting everything else!
	🎸 ♥ 8:25pm Cp304: ↳ Don-O @8:21 I visit my Christmas crap a few times a year usually, at least your AZ don't have the east side humidity
	🎸 ♥ 8:26pm Cp304: ↳ Mr Fab @8:24 Ha, you never know if it's the streams or the set
	🎸 ♥ 8:27pm Cp304: "you wanna know how this garbage sounds?" That's a good ISO
	8:29pm Dean: My take is that no matter how resistant so many of us are to the story of Christmas, nevertheless it engages many of us. We all recognize that Christmas is not about snow and winter and cold. Even if we don't "believe" the story, we find it compelling.
	8:30pm Don-O: I fear that at the end of this year, I'll go through all of the OTE X-mas shows and slap the excerpts into a OTE christmas show.
	8:32pm Kat in the chat: Back from grocery and beer run in time to catch a half hour of Crap!
	8:33pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:32 Good Crap, Kat! Beer runs are good!
	8:37pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... I, too, am a bit pissed, Don! with this internet connection jazz.
	🎸 ♥ 8:38pm Cp304: Fidelity is crucial for a good crap
	🎸 ♥ 8:42pm Cp304: I gotta say, I prefer wired errything, but I did cop some referb audio Technica BT for my cel phone, and the fidelity is unbelievable
	8:44pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @8:42 Shhhh, your provider might get mad at you.....
	🎸 ♥ 8:47pm Cp304: ↳ Don-O @8:44 I guess I'll always be a 3rd seat booper
	8:51pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... "ritual"?! in any of this?!
	8:52pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @8:29 Each country's/culture's interpretation of the story contains some element of arrogance woven wthin the context.
	🎸 ♥ 8:55pm Cp304: Good crap tonight Don-O, if I ever join a dating site, my profile will say, enjoys Sheena's jungle room, and listening to hours of crap while standing in living room and drinking beer after 11 hours of cable dooding
	8:55pm Don-O: A pile of catnip? The cat must be a junkie!
	8:55pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @8:55 G'day and G' luck!, CP!
	8:56pm Don-O: My thanks to all for putting up with this crap and my bellyaching. 'Till net week.
	8:57pm Mr Fab: I'd love to know if anyone has put "WFMU" in a dating profile. It would certainly narrow the field.
	🎸 ♥ 8:58pm Cp304: ↳ Mr Fab @8:57 Lols like that laughing spitting Santa clock!
	8:58pm Androu B.: Thanks a crapload, Don-O!
	8:59pm Don-O: Now if you all excuse me, I'm off to eat some baked potato and a nap!
	8:59pm Mr Fab: Wishing you and yours the merriest summer, Don-O.
	🎸 ♥ 9:00pm Cp304: ↳ Mr Fab @8:57 I always wonder when I'm talking to a chick, if we got together, could they handle my Sheena's addiction? Would that be a deal killer?
	9:01pm Mr Fab: ↳ Cp304 @9:00 Nah - I have my headphones, Mrs Fab has hers.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Cp304: ↳ Mr Fab @9:01 Haha
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm WR: Thank you! Don-O!

	6:37pm Dean: You should just play an entire show of Natural Snow Buildings. That'd cool you off.
	6:40pm Dean: Santa used to ring his bell at 53rd & 3rd.
	6:43pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Santa's Acid Hawaiian Space-Disco" by "RIAA" OH my, we are going down memory lane. Which apparently runs parallel with Santa Claus Lane.
	🎸 ♥ 6:43pm WR: One year Sanity Clause brought us siblings a Webcor HiFi and the The Three Stooges EP and the The Chipmunks EP that I've heard sampled in the tracks today. Trying to recall the year but I think that's beyond my grasp.
	6:44pm Dean: Of course I recall Rudolph. In fact, he's the only reindeer I recall, because for fuck's sake he was the most famous reindeer, jerkoff!
	6:44pm Don-O: The reception is not as bad I feared, but it looks like I'll have to send a clean copy off to John and Rebecca later.
	6:48pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Santa's Acid Hawaiian Space-Disco" by "RIAA" Unrelated, I just got a copy of the latest 8-Track Mind zine and there's a article about using this format against "assholes" and some how there's a Mike Love connection in my head with this track!
	6:50pm Mr Fab: i kinda forget what these tracks sounded like...
	6:50pm Dean: Assholes. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
	6:51pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:50 ....but you can still fun of them and write about it.
	6:52pm Stanley: This is brilliant. No its not it's crap.
	6:56pm Dean: I'm shy about making fun of my asshole and committing it to writing.
	♥ 6:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I'll Be Home For Christmas" by "Mr. Fab" That was lovely!
	6:57pm Dean: "...if only in my dreams..." That's America right there.
	6:58pm Mr Fab: ↳ doctorjazz @6:57 Thanks!
	7:00pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:57 I'm thinking of that George Carlin quote about American dreams, buuuut that's getting too obvious by now.
	7:01pm Dean: Noted!
	7:03pm Androu B.: Merry Crapmas In Yule-y Don-O, Otis (wherever you are), Mr. Fab, Dean, WR & Aitch (G'day)! I can already see we'll be delving into a good number of tracks from the Santastic comps. That'll make for a fun (sleigh) ride!
	7:04pm Dean: In America, nothing is too obvious, sadly. Kinda OT, everybody should check out Donald Erb's amazing contrabassoon duets after the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QFH6RJ8CpI
	7:04pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @7:03 Good Smelly Hot X-mas of Crappy Spite, Androu B.!!
	7:04pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Dreaming of a White Elephant" by "Ergo Phizmiz" Ergo Phizmiz - former WFMU dj.
	7:06pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @7:04 Makes sense. I suspect I got this track from the WFMU Christmas compilation that was found on the old Free Music Archives.
	7:06pm Androu B.: ↳ Mr Fab @7:04 And frequent contributor to Do Or DIY.
	7:07pm Dean: Perhaps The Residents' finest moment, the album Eskimo.
	7:10pm Mr Fab: I now hate "The Christmas Song" - "so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to 92... Merry Christmas to you" yeah, well my mom is 93 now. So F--- you, Nat Cole!!
	7:12pm Dean: FU, NKC is, as my daughter would say, "Not camp appropriate!"
	7:14pm Dean: (She just returned from a camp where the counselors often upbraided the girls for putatively inappropriate behavior. Consequently, she spent her time telling the counselors that what they were doing was not "camp appropriate.")
	7:15pm Dean: "...eyes all aglow..." What they smoking?
	7:17pm Androu B.: ↳ Mr Fab @7:10 Merry Pissmas, Harley Clown!
	7:18pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @7:10 You better a side order of FU to Paul McCartney who now owns the song and edited it when he covered it to meat-less,
	7:19pm Dean: For some reason I gotta hear The Who, "Join Together."
	🎸 ♥ 7:19pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Christmas Massacre of Charlie Brown" by "DJ J... Enjoyed that.
	7:23pm Dean: One reason I can't abide by the concept of property is the notion that one "owns" something like "The Christmas Song" (or, for that matter, my own plot of land). I myself "own" land, but I am daily fearful that something will take it from me. Good on you, Mr. McCartney, but I for one don't experience music in terms of ownership.
	🎸 ♥ 7:26pm Cp304: Howdy crappers!
	🎸 ♥ 7:26pm Cp304: Howdy crappers
	7:27pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @7:26 Good Crappy X-mas Hot Hello, Cp304!!
	7:28pm Don-O: Program note: We are nearing the half way point of this episode!
	🎸 ♥ 7:28pm Cp304: I sawer riaa Christmas zip file scrolling thru tunes on old hard drive the other day, and even listened to santastic while working out.
	7:29pm Mr Fab: ↳ Cp304 @7:28 Wow, not even sure if I have em all haha, thanks to old hard drives going the way of, well, old hard drives.
	7:31pm Don-O: I fucked up. It looks like I'll be say good night twice with this show. That damned heat, you know.
	🎸 ♥ 7:31pm Cp304: I think that's the one with Gloria on it Fab
	🎸 ♥ 7:32pm WR: If this is the halfway point, then why were were you talking like it is over, or just the xmas segment over? Or?
	🎸 ♥ 7:33pm Cp304: It's Christmas in July, like the home shopping network
	7:34pm Don-O: ↳ WR @7:32 .....not enough egg nog. However, that stuff with this weather, I would have better luck with some nachoes from down the street.
	♥ 7:48pm Carmichael: I'm doing genealogy to this music. somehow it fits ...
	7:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Carmichael @7:48 hey Carmichael, I'm curious - how does one do geneology?
	🎸 ♥ 7:50pm Cp304: I can't clucky star carol of the bells
	7:50pm Don-O: ↳ Carmichael @7:48 Good/Bad Hot Flaming X-mas In AZ Hell, Carmichael
	7:52pm Mr Fab: ↳ Cp304 @7:50 ah, looks like the playlist needs an Artist name, in order to clicky-star. Or clucky star. Which sounds like the name of a prize chicken.
	7:52pm Dean: Did Tony Bennett sing Christmas tunes? Carol long ago moved from Bells. She's now in Bellflower.
	7:53pm Don-O: I do NOT know what I did between here and the Bonus Crap spot. The Heat?!
	7:54pm Dean: This Heat?
	🎸 ♥ 7:55pm WR: ↳ Mr Fab @7:52 yes, need an artist name and a title to have a favourite star to click.
	♥ 7:56pm Carmichael: ↳ Don-O @7:50 I'm in California, but no difference. It's 107 right now ...
	7:57pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Carol of the Bells" Is this People Like Us?
	7:57pm Mr Fab: ↳ Dean @7:52 he did a hip, swinging version of "Winter Wonderland." he was 96. So Nat Cole wouldn't wish him a merry Christmas either.
	🎸 ♥ 7:58pm WR: ↳ Dean @7:52 Hell yes Tony Bennett sang Christmas tunes. At least 3 whole albums, probably more en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 7:58pm Carmichael: ↳ Mr Fab @7:49 Heya Fab, I have an ancestry account. Start building a tree and watch the ancestors come rollin' in. Best names so far are Urania and Theosophus.
	7:59pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "My Favorite Things" by "Negativland & Wing" Did someone use AI to replace Julie Andrews Voice with Wing's?
	7:59pm Dean: Let me recommend my cataloging professor's book about these kinds of issues. It is Elaine Svenonius, The Intellectual Foundation of Information Organization (MIT Press 2000). Even though (or perhaps because) it appeared early on in the Web age, it gets to the heart of questions about what needs to be clicked and what not. Sir Tim Berners-Lee woiuldn't get it, nor would Brin or Page; they are blindered. https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/2796/The-Intellectual-Foundation-of-Information
	🎸 ♥ 8:00pm Cp304: ↳ Mr Fab @7:52 Bonus Crap!
	8:01pm Listener Robert: I never understood the distinction between the formal Hour of Crap and the bonus crap.
	8:02pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... I combed through the OTE Archives and they certainly did a lot of X-mas shows over the years! and Don Joyce was an athirst!
	🎸 ♥ 8:02pm Cp304: ↳ Listener Robert @8:01 Don -O gonna take us over the edge now
	8:03pm Dean: Good god, how does this guy behave come Easter time?
	8:03pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... I haven't caught up with the latest installments of Over The Edge lately, and I may never get to anyway. Too much good crap to mull through.
	🎸 ♥ 8:05pm Cp304: ↳ Don-O @8:02 I played one 2 or 3 yrs ago over at parents and dad said to turn it off lol
	8:05pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @8:03 Somewhere in the universe, Joyce is chuckling with everybody complaining that they can't climb that OTE mountain in one lifetime.
	8:06pm Dean: That "Dick" joke is just perennial. So funny!
	8:07pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... AH! That performance (well, the closing number, Car Bomb) is on YouTube!
	8:09pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @8:07 www.youtube.com...
	8:21pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... I don't know about you all, but it's kinda odd that I'm listening to all this X-mas crap while the sun is still out and blazing. Yea, I haven't fully gotten use to this AZ lifestyle yet....well, on this corner of it anyways.
	8:24pm Mr Fab: Ok, now The Grinch is hacking into the show. Ferget it Glinchy Claus: in a sound collage show, you can't interrupt anything - everything's already interrupting everything else!
	🎸 ♥ 8:25pm Cp304: ↳ Don-O @8:21 I visit my Christmas crap a few times a year usually, at least your AZ don't have the east side humidity
	🎸 ♥ 8:26pm Cp304: ↳ Mr Fab @8:24 Ha, you never know if it's the streams or the set
	🎸 ♥ 8:27pm Cp304: "you wanna know how this garbage sounds?" That's a good ISO
	8:29pm Dean: My take is that no matter how resistant so many of us are to the story of Christmas, nevertheless it engages many of us. We all recognize that Christmas is not about snow and winter and cold. Even if we don't "believe" the story, we find it compelling.
	8:30pm Don-O: I fear that at the end of this year, I'll go through all of the OTE X-mas shows and slap the excerpts into a OTE christmas show.
	8:32pm Kat in the chat: Back from grocery and beer run in time to catch a half hour of Crap!
	8:33pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:32 Good Crap, Kat! Beer runs are good!
	8:37pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... I, too, am a bit pissed, Don! with this internet connection jazz.
	🎸 ♥ 8:38pm Cp304: Fidelity is crucial for a good crap
	🎸 ♥ 8:42pm Cp304: I gotta say, I prefer wired errything, but I did cop some referb audio Technica BT for my cel phone, and the fidelity is unbelievable
	8:44pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @8:42 Shhhh, your provider might get mad at you.....
	🎸 ♥ 8:47pm Cp304: ↳ Don-O @8:44 I guess I'll always be a 3rd seat booper
	8:51pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "BONUS CRAP: A Very Boopy Christmas (excerpt)" by ... "ritual"?! in any of this?!
	8:52pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @8:29 Each country's/culture's interpretation of the story contains some element of arrogance woven wthin the context.
	🎸 ♥ 8:55pm Cp304: Good crap tonight Don-O, if I ever join a dating site, my profile will say, enjoys Sheena's jungle room, and listening to hours of crap while standing in living room and drinking beer after 11 hours of cable dooding
	8:55pm Don-O: A pile of catnip? The cat must be a junkie!
	8:55pm Don-O: ↳ Cp304 @8:55 G'day and G' luck!, CP!
	8:56pm Don-O: My thanks to all for putting up with this crap and my bellyaching. 'Till net week.
	8:57pm Mr Fab: I'd love to know if anyone has put "WFMU" in a dating profile. It would certainly narrow the field.
	🎸 ♥ 8:58pm Cp304: ↳ Mr Fab @8:57 Lols like that laughing spitting Santa clock!
	8:58pm Androu B.: Thanks a crapload, Don-O!
	8:59pm Don-O: Now if you all excuse me, I'm off to eat some baked potato and a nap!
	8:59pm Mr Fab: Wishing you and yours the merriest summer, Don-O.
	🎸 ♥ 9:00pm Cp304: ↳ Mr Fab @8:57 I always wonder when I'm talking to a chick, if we got together, could they handle my Sheena's addiction? Would that be a deal killer?
	9:01pm Mr Fab: ↳ Cp304 @9:00 Nah - I have my headphones, Mrs Fab has hers.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Cp304: ↳ Mr Fab @9:01 Haha
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm WR: Thank you! Don-O!
