this version unfortunately forgoes the awesome first half. the song in it's entirety can be found after the jump.

1. thanks to bS for covering the xmas day post. twas i that dropped the christmas ball, not the meated one.
2. my mentioning of the "bad dancing" tag in meat's vid yesterday reminded me of this video that i wanted to play before, but it was a little too close to DK's FJM video. enough time has elapsed that i can unleashed this on you all:

"I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers
The Magnolias, Camellias and Azaleas so sweet
And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
You looked so beautiful in the rising heat
I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns
People carry on regardless, listening to their hands
Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns
Bored and disgusted, to do us down"
-Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Darker With The Day"

don't forget to toss your name into the hat for guest DJs, y'all.

with the negotiations completed and contracts all signed, we're happy to announce the recruitment of a fresh round of guest DJs. we're looking for a few sensitive young men and women to take a turn behind the tables.
if you're interested, please send an email to hungryjoe [this thingy] wgom.org. first priority goes to new DJs. spots left over will be spread among returning DJs (2011 DJs have first priority, then 2012's crop), awarded by random number generator. also, months will be awarded by random number generator.
deadline to apply will be thursday, 20 december 2012, at, oh, let's say 3pm CT
come be the next opportunistic renegade.
EDIT: if you have any months that won't work out as well, let me know and i'll try to get the schedule to work for you should you be chosen
EDIT II - RESULTS:
nice turnout for volunteers. we had 6 newbies volunteers, so they're all in. for the next group, we had 7 people that last had a guest run in 2011, so all their names were put into consideration. to choose, their handles were placed in alphabetical order, and then a random sequence of numbers 1-7 was generated and that order was matched to the alphabetical list of names. numbers 1-6 are in, and whomever received lucky #7 would have to wait until next year.
The candidates:
and the random number list:
sorry, breau, it's going to have to be next year (though you'll be first in line if we need a pinch hitter).
and, with further random number usage to determine months with schedule requests taken into account, your 2013 guest DJs!
there you have it, folks. if DJs want to trade months, that's fine, just let me know. thank you again for the great volunteer turnout. those that missed the cut this year will have much better chances next year. any questions, let me know.

first off, big thanks to bS; hope it was all you remember. second, i'll start to organize the new haul of guest DJs sometime this week. third, kinda busy, you guys. christmas lunch at work tomorrow, and i was charged with providing the music. as my own private chuckle, i included dylan's, um, take on "must be santa", which led me to this video. seemed as good as any.

i really wish i could have been around when this album dropped, long after dylan was thought to be washed up, and blew everyone's minds.
