Week 29: It's the Christmas edition! - Dec. 22, 2010

"Steampunk tunes, steampunk tunes, it's Christmas time, in elvenlands... da-da-dum..." Oh, hi! It's been an interesting show and I hope you'll like listening to it. First off, I'd like to apologize for a higher-than-usual number of bobbles in today's set. Our old DJ software packed up and decided to die on us when our music library got too far over 150,000 tracks for it. Needless to say, we were scrambling for a while and it's going to take a bit of time for us to get used to the new interface and the quirks of the new software.

But enough of my quibbling about things, we had fun tonight and got in the spirit of things, though no one submitted any requests (which all of you can do for upcoming shows by going to the blog and leaving a comment on the most recent post). So far no one's taken me up on this opportunity, but I live in hope. I'd love to hear back from those of you listening, so please drop by and let me know what you think.
