Dear Santa, please let me be chopped up for Christmas
A well-intentioned children's story about the first Christmas is written, or rather "executed" in a weird, and sometimes disturbing way.
I think of trees as strong, proud, noble, silent caretakers of the planet. Quietly doing their job of providing oxygen and looking beautiful without a trace of smugness. Not as bullies picking on smaller trees with self-esteem issues.
And there's something disturbingly hilarious about a tree that longs to be chopped down, cut up, and nailed together as a piece of furniture. Ohhh, the joy he feels when he finally achieves his dream of being woken up by someone swinging an ax into him! And isn't that what Christmas is really all about, Charlie Brown?
Um...I realize I'm human, so my Christmas dreams probably don't involve being awoken by an ax murderer with plans to make furniture out of me and put a baby in my remains. But that's just me.

Comic Newsbriefs #1
In the early '00s Cait was writing a full page feature for satire zine...um...damn...I forgot the name of it. Comic News? Anyway, Cait's feature was "Comic Newsbriefs." In '02 the magazine had it's own radio show in Oregon. They asked Cait if she would turn her feature into a radio bit. So, Cait and Mychele came over, and we recorded a pile of her briefs. I cut them up, and put them together in four 5 or so minute bits.
Whimsical Will was NOWHERE in my head when I produced these. I don't think I had heard his feature on Dr. Demento back then. The music is to add to the silliness of it, and cover the hiss from the tape. The drops (short, inserted sound bites) come from inspiration from early '80s Brandmeier. And the other difference from Whimsical's style is that Cait is an excellent and smart writer. The bit isn't based on unbelievably stupid puns delivered with a ji-normously broooooaaad wink and a nudge.
I'm not a fan of Whimsical Will.
Cait wrote it. I produced it. Cait, Mychele, and me proved the voices.

Getting my kicks
I didn't like the videos I saw on YouTube people made for "Route 66," so I made my own damn version. Enjoy!

More practicing to be a DJ. Should be 'during" songs, not "in between" songs. Maybe I am dumb enough to be on the radio.
