I actually compiled this cast a couple of days ago so that I wouldn't have to worry about selecting some Yultide Cheer at the last moment.

As much as it shames me to admit this, there isn't really any excuse for this to be as late as it is, but it is. There are a few reasons I could use, but honestly, it just feels like a cop-out, as perfectly valid as those reasons appear on paper, were they to come from another.

I decided to do something different withthis one, and so it's all instrumentals and minimal-voice pieces.

Also, I have no excuse for uploading 30 November's cast again last week. I just fixed that.

To both listeners, if you're hoping for Christmas music, I'm going to put that off until December 21 -- in theory, I could do a new cast of Christmas music every week, and have it all different, but I want to save stuff for next year.

As for this week's set, I know I don't like to do any one band two weeks in a row, and i think I did that last week, too, but sometimes a set works best with a specific song or two, and it cannot be helped.

Two weeks ago
youngsoulrebel: Oh noes! I've got Skinhead boots! You know what's next, right? Before we know it, I'll be whompin' everybody darker than me (which is almost everybody) and sacrificing to Wotan and talking about the "master race".
youngsoulrebel: [eyeroll]
youngsoulrebel: I thought you'd find that funny.
youngsoulrebel: by the way, I think everything I knew is wrong.
youngsoulrebel: I'm on the verge of a conversion....
youngsoulrebel: Yes... yes, that....
[ten minutes pause]
youngsoulrebel: Dude, get over here! I'm having a moral and spiritual crisis!
theattackpanda: hold on a second XD I'm dealing with rotten food
theattackpanda: and cats want to eat it
youngsoulrebel: ew, ok
theattackpanda: yeah pretty much
theattackpanda: our fridge doesn't have a light in and I forgot about some food in there
theattackpanda: and... yeah
theattackpanda: good job on the boots though lol
youngsoulrebel: get a torch?
youngsoulrebel: I decided the red ones looked better with blue jeans.
youngsoulrebel: ...but hey, that's how it starts, right?
theattackpanda: I dunno; it started with me with sol invictus and death in june
youngsoulrebel: Well, it starts with *something*.
theattackpanda: true
youngsoulrebel: ...but yeah, my crisis.
youngsoulrebel: I think... I think I like Morrissey.
theattackpanda: yea?
theattackpanda: I like the smiths
theattackpanda: I don't much care for his solo work
youngsoulrebel: My whole adolescence and adult life, Morrissey, solo or with The Smith, has given me hives -- or at least until recently.
youngsoulrebel: I think I can blame Last.FM for releasing me from a Morrissey-free existence, and I say "blame" because really... I was happy not liking Morrissey.
theattackpanda: that's ok I mean
theattackpanda: I like wilco now
theattackpanda: which makes me want to vomit
youngsoulrebel: Well, at least you understand. [hugs]
theattackpanda: *hugs* oh, I do. I really do
theattackpanda: it sucks
theattackpanda: when you suddenly enjoy something you built your personality around hating
theattackpanda: xD
youngsoulrebel: I know! I was happily listening to my logarithmic Last.FM radio, then as it happens, a song came on and suddenly I'm all "ooh! That's rather nice, I'll see what it is..." and then I bring the client to the front and :-O It's Morrissey...
theattackpanda: yeahhhhh
youngsoulrebel: I seriously ran to the shower and had a good cry. Yes, just like in _The Crying Game_ only without the trannies.
theattackpanda: haven't seen it
youngsoulrebel: Honestly? I've only seen it cos Neil Jordan fascinates me.
theattackpanda: who? XD
youngsoulrebel: ...not necessarily in a good way, though; I think he's clinically insane.
youngsoulrebel: The director.
theattackpanda: I see
youngsoulrebel: Anybody who would even consider making a film version of Patrick McCabe's _The Butcher Boy_ has to be certifiable.

Four hours ago -- redemption:
youngsoulrebel: so, according to a sourced statement on Wikipaedia, Morrissey is finally in a sexual relationship, but he won't say with who or even what gender this person is.
theattackpanda: wow.
youngsoulrebel: Am I alone in thinking he's secretly fucking a cheeseburger?
theattackpanda: ...
theattackpanda: literally?
youngsoulrebel: Think about it! He's heard "If Morrissey would only have a cheeseburger and a good lay..." for YEARS. He can kill two birds with one stone this way.
youngsoulrebel: He goes out to the McDonald's drive-thru wearing a ski mask (so no-one recognises him), and comes home to a candle-lit apartment, playing "How Soon Is Now?" on repeat with his iTunes....
theattackpanda: xD
youngsoulrebel: ....pours himself a glass of red wine -- he's gotta romance the Double Quarter Pounder
youngsoulrebel: ...kisses the bun tenderly before spreading that hot cheese-gooey meat for Little Moprrissey to have a turn at the romance...
theattackpanda: this is just getting creepy
youngsoulrebel: you can picture it, can't you?
youngsoulrebel: Oh, wait... he lives in LA for tax avoidance now -- screw McDonald's (pun unintended) -- he'd go to In-N-Out
theattackpanda: apparently in-n-out have the best burgers ever
theattackpanda: according to many I know
youngsoulrebel: they do have pretty good burgers. not sure I'd say "the best", but it's also been five years.
youngsoulrebel: but you can totally picture Morrissey screwing a cheeseburger now, can't you?
theattackpanda: I can.
theattackpanda: I didn't want to.
youngsoulrebel: :-D
theattackpanda: :p
