PROGRAMMING NOTE: Holiday Schedule

By

The holidays are here. It's the time of year when you bite your tongue, roll your eyes pretending to like that crappy gift someone gave you. Then you secretly plot how the heck you're going to re-gift it or shove it in the back of the closet until it's time to bring out when the person who gave it to you comes over asking "hey, where's that gift I gave you"?  Yea, I'm speaking from experience.  

One of the most unusual holiday gifts I have received happened many, many years ago. It was a bottle of wine that was about 5 feet tall statue - I think it was supposed to be Bacchus the Roman/Greek god of wine. I appreciated the gesture but wow...it made my eyes roll internally. It was next to impossible to pour it because of it's shape.  And when I did manage to siphon a glass out of it, it literally tasted like the grapes were stomped on by donkeys with foot odor. It was cheap crappy wine. That swill made Boones Farm look like Dom Perignon. The image below SORT OF gives you an idea of what it looked like.  It was much taller and wider than this.

OPEN POST: Merii Kurisumasu めりーくりすます! Or Christmas In Japan Is For Couples!

Christmas is celebrated differently in Japan, yet much of it is recognizable. We see beautiful lights, Santas, and  decorated trees, and it is a time for getting together. But it diverges there because Christmas in Japan is for couples.  They exchange gifts and cozy up for romance. Though American food is preferred, KFC is  preferred ; it can get expensive, so they will have tasty Japanese romantic dinners or something delicious and homecooked.  It is common to see couples holding hands flushed with love and happiness. It is like Valentine's Day except on Decemeber 25th. Only about 2% of the Japanese people call themselves Christians, so it would make sense to carve out their own traditions and make this holiday something unique to them and reflects their culture.  Christmas Eve is for  kurisumasu ke—ki , a sweet sponge cake with filling, but the next day is for dressing up, making fancy dinner reservations, and staring into the eyes of your "ride or d...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Barbara Cartland!

Are you off work yet? Are you ready to throw a swingin' party? That means making party music mixes, right? And, yes, you must throw in a WTF song in the middle of the mix just to mess with everyone. For example, say you're throwing a New Years Eve party with a bunch of cooler-than-cool jazz or house music tracks; in the middle if it, throw in this song . I guarantee everyone will squeal with delight. In fact, throwing that song into any mix is always a good move.  Want more ideas for WTF songs to drop into your mixes? DJ Li'l Scratch has got you covered. But first, let's pause for a moment. This is important. Why? Because this is the definition of beauty: The face: like a pale, English Cream Custard (which is just a bit overcooked). The jewelry: made from the finest diamonelles money can buy. The eyes: with their exquisite baby tarantula eyelashes (the eye shadow is their after-birth). I'm overcome, I can barely breathe. And, no, this is not RichBitch. She is, of c...
