WFMU: Blurred and Obscured with Jonathan Herweg: Playlist from December 24, 2017

Listener comments!
	5:06pm TehBadDr: Can we rewind the last 14 months and try again?
	5:07pm cklequ: It was either this or the 'all are welcome' Christmas eve service at the Presbyterian church a few blocks away. Pretty sure i made the right choice.
	5:07pm TehBadDr: That's a no brainer!
	🎙 5:10pm Jherweg: Hey everyone ! Merry X-Mas!
	5:13pm Number Six: Season 's Growlings, Mr. Herweg & All!
	5:15pm Number Six: @TehBadDr: Personally I think we should rewind the last 2 million years.
	5:17pm coelacanth∅: greetings Jonathan and obscured listeners Happy Krampmas!
	5:20pm Fuzzy: Blurry Christmas everybody!
	🎙 5:20pm Jherweg: What’s everyone want for Xmas?
	5:26pm Number Six: A lift from the 1st flying saucer off of this rock (as long as they're not Vogons).
	5:27pm coelacanth∅: unlimited resources
	5:27pm JakeGould: @Jherweg: I want a valid explanation for why that four breasted manatee thing that Luke casually milked was in “The Last Jedi.”
	5:30pm cklequ: I'd settle for a good broccoli calzone.
	5:31pm upstate sean: Hey
	5:32pm coelacanth∅: cklequ, yes -or that.
	5:35pm Number Six: @JakeGould: I'd like to know how they talked Mark Hamill into actually filming that scene.
	🎙 5:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Santa, I want a rocket ship.
	5:38pm JakeGould: @NumberSix: Why? It’s not like that guy has a career outside of this stuff. He’s getting paid.
	5:40pm Number Six: Actually, he does a ton of voice acting for animation (best Joker ever) & video games.
	5:41pm JakeGould: @NumberSix: I was actually going to write “Please don’t mention that ‘Joker’ voice work he did because nobody cares…” Of all of the actors to come out of the original “Star Wars” he was/is the worst. And for an actor, a film career means more than voices in video games or an animated film.
	5:42pm JakeGould: It would have been great though if he milked that thing, looked at Rey’s face in disgust and then stared at the ground and simply said, “My life!”
	5:44pm JakeGould: Also, I hope that Finn learns how to kiss by the time the next film comes out. I’m Little Rascals shorts with more passionate kissing.
	5:44pm adampsyche: alien milking explained twitter.com...
	5:46pm Number Six: You're being too hard on him. I've met him and he's actually pretty cool. I don't think he gives a shit about being an actor. He's more interested in his family than Hollywood.
	5:46pm JakeGould: @AdamPysche: Ha! www.instagram.com...
	5:49pm JakeGould: @NumberSix: Well… 20+ years ago I worked for a dot-com and Mark Hamill had some weird cable show and he wanted to profile us. We were excited, said yes and then his people came back to us and said we could be featured if we paid their production company $500 or $600… So we said no since that was slimy and sad. You know that episode of the Simpsons where Mark Hamill shows up at a science fiction convention? Pretty accurate. I liked Star Wars but I don’t hero worship. Also… That 4 breasted thing he milked.
	5:51pm sufferwords: Frisky on the air- i was there for this- that scene was a mess - we survived
	5:52pm cklequ: Am I the only one in the room who never made it past the fourth Star Wars movie?
	5:54pm JakeGould: @cklequ: You mean the first one from 1977 or the 4th movie that was the prequel from 1997?
	5:56pm cklequ: I mean chronologically.
	5:58pm Number Six: @JakeGould: What can I say, everybody has different experiences with people. Going to sci-fi cons is my job and I get to meet a lot of these actors. Some are cool, some are dicks.
	6:09pm adampsyche: I just shoved a half pound of fondue and steak in my face do I haaave to eat these vegetables?
	6:13pm Number Six: Yes! And you must wash them down with freshly squeezed green milk!
	6:15pm JakeGould: And then turn to one nearest you you love, close your lips tightly and just push your heads together as if a kiss were a barely competent headbutting attempt.
	6:17pm adampsyche: hahaha you gotta admit that juice was a good callback to episode 4 and that nasty shake that aunt Beru (sp) was serving when Luke was all whiny
	6:19pm cklequ: I have a feeling that jokes are going over my head right now. Much like an aeroplane.
	6:23pm adampsyche: wait I want a calzone now thanks @cklequ
	6:24pm cklequ: It's tough to find a decent calzone at 6:30 pm on Christmas Eve.
	6:33pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm like you. I don't do anything for x mas....I don't buy gifts and I don't want people buying me things I don't want and I just like walking around the city...like you
	6:33pm Tommy in Neversink: I like the music
	6:38pm rw: Hey man, good to hear the Blur on Xmas eve! Thanks for filling in! Enjoying the calmness. It’s keeping me from screaming right now! Hey everyone!
	6:38pm Number Six: If you really wanted to freak your rens, just ask them how come Santa also spells Satan.
	6:40pm rw: Okay, I’ve been doing a little screaming, but nothing too serious yet.
	6:41pm hmmm: This sounds like a rip-off of Orange Juice ripping off Velvet Underground ;-)
	🎙 6:42pm Jherweg: Glad to hear you' all are surviving !
	🎙 6:42pm Jherweg: I came from a secular family so they wouldnt have cared
	6:42pm hmmm: with a little rip off of Chris Forsyth ripping off Television haha
	6:43pm hmmm: Sorry to interrupt your conversation...couldn't resist
	6:50pm coelacanth∅: this is quite nice
	6:55pm rw: What I want for Xmas is to hang out with my kids for a few days, which is happening so I’m good.
	🎙 6:58pm Jherweg: Good glad to hear it RW!
	7:00pm JakeGould: The soul-crushingness of the holiday season has passed for me because I am secular, and Jewish… But the buildup to Christmas this year has been fine since I didn’t have deal with patronizing folks who would ask me if I at least have a “Christmas tree” because even if I am Jewish, it’s still an American thing. Yup, I’ve had that horsecrap shoved down my throat for decades. Even worse when I was kid since I came from an immigrant family and every schmuck—even kids—hears that and decides they will passive aggressively tell you how to be a “real” American. I guess nowadays most people don’t feel like telling people how they should properly behave. Anyway, happy you are filling in!
	7:04pm wittsend: what a piece of work is man...
	7:07pm TehBadDr: So bubbly, so nice!
	7:09pm dale: nice sounds - happy holiday kids.
	7:09pm dale: ...whatever holiday you want to make it.
	7:13pm Number Six: Jonathan, your musical choices for tonight are greatly appreciated. One, because I seriously dig this kind of stuff. And two, because it's such a relief from all of the Happy,Happy, Joy, Joy crap that's forced into your head everywhere you go this time of year.
	7:13pm mary: Love this show. Was just talking about Gallo before you mentioned him. Prob hearing Fusciante... Buffalo 66 - a first feature as beautiful as Polanski's Knife in the Water. And other cinephiliac vibrations.
	🎙 7:19pm Jherweg: Thanks Mary, I was hoping this show wouldn't be so full of bummer music that it pushed people over the edge. I meant it to have the opposite effect.
	7:28pm rw: It’s having the desired effect here.
	7:30pm SheWolf: I like all of this very much.
	7:31pm SeanG: always dug this bed music
	7:33pm Dominick: hitting the spot
	7:34pm coelacanth∅: time to get going. you risk your life out there when santa's on the road. Thanks Jh have a Happy Everything...everyone. tchau
	7:41pm khd: catching the tail end of the show and digging it, thx
	7:46pm SeanG: Gas!
	7:46pm JakeGould: Oh, the show is good!
	7:48pm david_: listen, the snow is falling
	7:57pm david_: Thanks Jonathan for filling in
	7:57pm SeanG: thanks JH great show

View Jherweg's profile

An underground journey through the history of psychedelic rock, modern music, shimmering noise, free jazz, punk, funk, children's records played at the wrong speed, tape cut-up, static, the composition of decomposition, and subversive spoken word.
