WFMU: Burn It Down! with Nate K.: Playlist from December 25, 2018

Burn It Down! with Nate K.: Playlist from December 25, 2018

Music for the revolution in my head: choogling punks; power pop, both skinny-tied and long-haired; soul shouters and girl groups; bubblegum and acid rock; global fuzz; weirdos and outsiders, and the Weirdos and the Outsiders; Archie Shepp and J. Geils. Plus, live bands.

December 25, 2018: It was, like, 80 percent Christmas stuff.

	9:12pm ?: Iz 'e a Pop?
	9:14pm Kate: Nate! This show is my new fave on fmu. Starting off with my fave scene from my fave show Enlightened always makes me happy, and week after week you’ve been introducing total jams I’ve never heard before in all my years of faithful radio listening! Uptown Down by Melanie! That Spectrum song! Wow. Keep up the hits!
	9:14pm mb: Merry Christmas to you, DJ Nate K. Is it possible to play "Burn It Down" by The Suicide Commandos after each Christmas song to skew the percentage? Not a request i'm just wondering if its possible.
	9:15pm sufferwords: peace brothers and sisters - farm out!
	9:16pm Greg from ZONE 5: Happy Christmas, Nate!

	9:18pm Nate K.: @MB, I'll try to bring it down to 65 percent, but I can't dupe the theme song.
	9:26pm medson: Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas Nate. Burn it Down
	9:28pm ultradamno: If you end the show with Protomartyr's "Feast of Stephen" you could get a jump on all the feast of stephen themed shows tomorrow.
	9:29pm ultradamno: Err, St. Stephen's Day
	9:33pm ultradamno: Wouldn't it be 'you better not NOT scream' for a punk rock christmas?
	9:41pm Mailman Tom: A Quick One was the first rock opera, and probably the best!
	9:51pm JakeGould: Do they know it’s Christmas? Do the Russians love their children too?
	9:52pm JakeGould: Dead air again on 91.1FM?
	9:54pm Nate K.: Anyone else getting dead air?
	9:54pm JakeGould: Now it’s back.
	9:54pm JakeGould: It was like there was a signal but no sound if that makes sense.
	9:54pm medson: 91.1 was out but just came back
	9:57pm SM Ken: Thanks All. Having audio circuit problems. Please let me know here if the audio drops out again at 91.1fm.

	10:04pm SM Ken: Thanks. I just put the MP3 stream on at 91.1fm. It sounds worse but at least it will stay on until the T1 audio gets fixed.
	10:22pm JakeGould: @SMKen: Saint Kludge! But it works.
	10:33pm Nate K.: Thanks for hanging out everyone, and thanks to everyone for the heads-up re: 91.1.

	10:51pm ultradamno: I like how seamlessly they worked the christploitation into the existing song ;)
	10:52pm JakeGould: I’ve had enough wine that I am fine with this.
	11:11pm chresti: Hello! I enjoying the show!
	11:11pm JakeGould: Farmer John, I’m in love with your Santa!
	11:17pm ultradamno: She's got a Niagara quality to her phrasing
	11:19pm Joe D.: i'm so far unable to find anything Roger (Clark) Miller has done that isn't great
	11:21pm ultradamno: I met him at Repeat Performance when Birdsongs played No Bar, he's a nice guy to boot.
	11:27pm Nate K.: Joe, agreed. Sproton Layer = great, too. Not Roger Miller, but Burma-related, I've always liked the Consonant record.
