"Christmas time is here,
happiness and cheer,
fun for all
that children call
their favorite time of year.

Saturday morning Forest (14) Shane (10) and Dad (7) will be in the house playing some of our favorite cuts from the annual Pirate Satellite Christmas compilations. It's kinda fun because the boys and Dad have added their quips to the mix over the years. So when we go back and listen to older recordings, say 2003's Yule B Chilling, we'll hear things that tickle the funny bone, warm the heart, or both. That year we asked the boys their favorite Christmas song: Forest (9) liked "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer", little Shaney (4) liked "race cars." We're promising fave cousin Adam Miller right now we're playing his favorite song from 2004's Code Of The Elves- "I Wish It Was Like Christmas Everyday". After all, it is Adam's house we go to visit at Christmastime...

Right now it's all about Christmas for the Pirate Satellite Entertainment Group. So tune in, share some holiday cheer and do your part in supporting the Christmas-Spirit Meter, so Santa's sleigh will fly on Christmas eve.

Dear Claus,

Me and my girls are going to a Christmas crab boil. Ronald the Red-Nosed Reindeer got sick. So I gassed up the heavy-Chevy so you could make your rounds. Stay warm while you're out spreading Christmas joy, and here's a tape for you to ride out to.

Love,

Mrs. Claus

It's (sing it now) the most wonderful time of the year. Pirate Satellite has been making annual Christmas compilations for over 20 years. An audio Christmas card to friends and family- which now include you. We're a different kind of Christmas compilation, usually unmatched by any, save KRUU's brilliant Andy MacKenzie. This show is sponsored by Manger 6.

We'll hear glad tidings from from... I can't believe it- Bob Dylan, who has a brand new Christmas release. Hear John Beltran remix Bing Crosby & Ella Fitzgerald; Project: Pimento, featuring the theremin; the all female Japanese trio Shonen Knife; Rob Wasserman and Elvis Costello will Put Your Big Toe In The Milk Of Human Kindness. David Arkenstone plays from The Christmas Lounge; Kirsten & Brent Lambert play an urban Silver Bells, our favorite version. Hear Aerial Logic; The Blind Boys Of Alabama w/ Michael Franti perform a haunting Little Drummer Boy (thank you Rodney Franz).

Saturday morning hear music from "Packin' Heat", a 1998 Pirate Satellite soundtrack compilation; where "There are no bad guys, just disturbed guys." Hear music from the films Heat; Blade Runner; Pi- "12:45, restate my assumptions: 1) Mathematics is the language of Nature." Music by Lush; Philip Glass; Miklos Rozsa. Soundbites from Zero Effect starring Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller; The Asphalt Jungle with Marylin Monroe and more. 2) "Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers." Music from movies, on Pirate Satellite, Saturday, 9:00 A.M. Central.

3) "Therefore, there are patterns, everywhere in Nature."

Perhaps a mystical Hallowed Ween morning with Pirate Satellite. Begin On The Rocks, then Paul Takes the Water Of Life. Mark Dwane flows the Halloween Oracle. "Inner space. Absolute, Unbounded final frontier." There's Mysteries Of Science flowing Chaos Pleasures. "Everything Zen? I don't think so." Hear a Basic Instinct. Daniel Ash down slow conjues a ghostly Casablanca. Procol Harum dazzles in hallowed gothic rock. Zamfir flows Hallowed Ween Fantasy.

Depeche Mode in electrotango from Tanghetto. Reach out and touch faith. Maneesh De Moor visits the "Oracle"

~ No Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready... you won't have to.

Craig Padilla, Zero Ohms & Skip Murphy take us Beyond The Portal. Hear from Norway's Green Isac; then Squarepusher's dramatic, propulsive "Planetarium"

~ What is Real? How do you define Real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, taste and see then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

Boards Of Canada's "Heard From Telegraph Lines" a few times. Yello loves you (I know).

When I first heard Constance Demby's song Alleluiah from her album Sanctum Sanctourum my attention to all else stopped. I was hearing the gates of heaven open, in all it's dramatically reverent, Divine magnificence. I cried. Today's show was inspired by Alleluiah. We'll hear that and more from Constance Demby's Sanctum Sanctourum. "One of the most beautiful musical experiences I think I've ever heard in this genre." ~ CD Services

We'll also hear music from Deborah Martin & Erik Wollo's brand new release Between Worlds. "The American Indian believes there are two worlds- the world of spirit and the world of form. Between Worlds was created to represent with sound this bridge between the two worlds."

Divine electronic expressions on Pirate Satellite. Live stream @ kruufm.com. We'll post the playlist afterward.
