In case you haven't noticed, to the right I have a list of notable Christmas songs and the number of times I've heard them on FM 100 since I started listening on Monday, November 9th. Why Charlie Brown is breaking away from the rest, I'm still not entirely sure.
Happy Veteran's Day.

Holiday Torture '09: First Repeat
Around 4 PM yesterday I heard Burl Ives' Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer for the second time.
Now today, after a killer band practice last night, I am refreshed and ready to subject myself to another workday filled with Christmas-themed drivel.
Has anyone else heard the "Christmas" song performed by a child in which he refers several times to "Mr. Jesus" and he's singing about how his parents beat him? Not exactly Frosty the Snowman, is it? Bizarre.
FEED THE WORLD! LET THEM KNOW ITS CHRISTMAS TIME!

Last Christmas
We've just had our first Wham sighting of Holiday Torture '09. I will definitely be keeping count.
Holiday Torture '09
FM 100 is already playing Christmas music. Yeah, I know. It's only November 9th. To bring in the holiday spirit this year, I have decided to listen to FM 100 non-stop at work from now until Christmas. About five minutes into this and I'm already sweating.
I really really love Christmas... but come on... November 9th?
Oh Burl Ives, How can I resist your sweet Christmas magic?

Iron and Wine Was Suck-tastic
I'm not in the business of complaining about free shows, but that was by far the worst show I've ever been to. I love Iron and Wine, so you know that the crowd had to be particularly awful to warrant that distinction. But the crowd exceeded the limits of my imagination in utter crappiness.
People were being loud and boisterous and everybody was boozing. It was so crowded that you had to get completely out of range of the sound to get any breathing room, and that far out it was just one giant mass of people drinking and talking. Was this an Iron and Wine concert, or a frat party? What did I miss here? How many people actually came to listen to music?
In short, it was a sad day for concerts.
