December 17, 2012: Tis the Season?
I just can't get into the holiday spirit without a snowflake to be seen for miles. It rained here a couple of days ago and a few locals whined like it was the most unfair, ridiculous thing they could imagine. Sigh.
Bob Dylan – Tangled Up In Blue
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.

December 16, 2012: The Lowest Form
There's nothing like a tragedy to bring out the worst in people. I've heard and read some of the cruelest and most awful things in my life in these past couple of days.
I adore and need you guys, and I know I'm not the only one.

The reason Neil Chrisley is listed is because his given name is Barbra O’Neil Chrisley. No explanation for this name is given, but it seems reasonable to assume that he’s the only man to play major league baseball whose first name was Barbra.
Jeff Granger was drafted by Minnesota in the fourteenth round in 1990, but did not sign.
