What's so different about tonight?
It's winter, it's cold, and it's dark
But also a celebration of light
And that earns a calendar mark.

Extra minutes of night at seven
When the winter is its coldest
And the snow is extra deep
While around us gathers darkness
And a frozen death does creep
We all hold each other closer
And we celebrate the light
That's how we found to survive
The longest of cruel nights.

Bundle up at seven
Temperatures continue to dip
Down and down they go
And then there's ice. Careful! Don't slip
And maybe sleet and snow
So now the winter's coming fast
Be it good or be it ill
I'll will have to say, at last
There's finally something normal

Start the film at nine
He couldn't! He wouldn't!
He shouldn't but he did.
The bully rages on
While all the heroes hid
We need a soundtrack for the nation
Let's borrow some from exploitation (films).

Keep on keepin' on at nine
I don't know what to tell you
No idea what to say
It's not as if any of this
Is what we expected today
But I'll make this simple promise
And you know that I'll be true
If get half of a weak laugh
Then that will have to do.

Rally starts at nine. Leave your signs at home.
My god, tomorrow, here it comes
Decision time is finally here
So cross your fingers, squeeze your thumbs
Wish with all your hope and fear
And Wednesday morning, we'll awake
The sun will still rise in the east
And while our plans we try to make
Canada's good neighbors, at the least.

Hope you're ready at nine
For tonight's schedule
Leave a little room
We're got tracks about wolves
And the moon.

Test tubes at nine
One thing I can say of tonight
And with complete compliance
We're going to have a lot of songs
About that thing called science.

Garlic and stakes at nine
I'm back at last, raring to go
All my chores are done
I'm ready for October
And I'm ready for some fun
And tonight is about vampires
(Or, at least, a famous one)

A couple hours' fun at nine
I'll be out the month of September
But I'll be back as soon as I can
With a schedule to make
And some tests I must take
I need time, at least that's the plan
But I'll still be playing tonight
And it's not like I'll really be gone
You all can still get
A pretty good set
From a DJ I know I can count on.

Has it been 10 years? at nine
Summer's near its end, at last
It's getting kind of cool now
Time to enjoy all kinds of tunes
From that club called Pow Wow

Sit by the vent at nine.
My A/C went out last night
Things were awful warm
So I called a repair man
Scheduled for the next morn
He got here late this afternoon
Make of that what you will
Tonight I'm going to play tunes
Dedicated to my new chill.

Beat the heat at eight
The world is going insane
There's so much pain and fear
But I'm going to start a campaign
To spread a little cheer
The temperatures are soaring
But we are going to try
Before it gets too boring
To have Christmas in July

Late but not lethe
I've got some folks from out of town
They had me slightly delayed
But you want to hear what's up
I'm about to start to play

Doggie bones at nine
On the days that threaten rain
Those who do not have a home
Will ride, en mass, the local train
So they don't get soaked to the bone.
They usually keep to themselves
And they stay dry. I think that's fine.
Outside is full of many hells
Least of which is stray canines.

Unwind with a spider at nine
"Busy's better than bored,"
Is a phrase I oft repeat
But I don't mind admitting
After this week, I'm beat!

Listen and repeat.
Get it on
How can I even try to go on?
Bang a gong
Though I try how can I carry on?

How do you pronounce "Moog"? at nine.
This week brings us some sad news
Isao Tomita has died
It never did sound like a real flute
But we all know that he tried.

You're getting sleepy at nine
With endless misery and pain
The weight of the world is on our backs
And with nothing else we can do
It's time to just chill out. Relax.

Angel of death came early at nine
There were ten plagues in total:
Locusts, flies, and lice
Darkness, boils, lots of frogs,
Blood, dead cows, and ice
But of the plagues that freed the slaves
The one which made the Pharaoh wince
Was one that took his first born son
Was one that took away his Prince.

It must be time-stamped by nine
It's just a little money
It's barely even scratch
I don't think that it's the thing
To get you through that patch
And just in case you wondered
Yes, we have each others' backs
We'll watch out and double count
So you're not screwed on tax.

Bring an antihistamine at nine
It's been a mild winter
It will be summer soon
But here's the thing about the spring
The flowers are in bloom

It's not a joke at nine
So it's April. Finally!
I put fresh sheets on the bed
And, as a special treat to me
I'll redye all of my hair red
As for those who like to prank
All their friends upon the first
I would like to kindly thank
Those who will not be the worst.

Come find the eggs at nine
Easter is coming and so are you ready?
But Jesus isn't really dead, or is he?
He well may have died, but I guess he'll be back
Like a very well shaved Schrodinger's cat
And before you get angry, offended, whatnot
Remember that Monday is half-off chocolate.

Let's get some music in here at nine
We don't know where we're going
We've forgotten where we've been
We seem to make the same mistakes
Over and then again
We don't ask for perfection
Maybe just a moment's rest
So we can be just you and me
Before doing what we detest

Yeah, I'm starting early tonight
I know I could have waited
But no one was here
So I'm just playing anything.

Here kitty kitty at nine
It's been an exhausting week, you know
Yet somehow it just went by like *that*
It makes me wish I'd spent it in instead
In bed with a good book and a couple of cats

Bring your translators at nine
We've done covers all this month
And, for what it's worth,
It's finally time to do it
LET'S COVER THE EARTH

Peanutbutter and sheet metal sandwich at nine
But will it work? We'll see.
Tonight is covers of Kraftwerk
As well as some of Disney.

Cover the past! at nine
I'm playing more covers tonight
All part of this month's barrage
But what makes these different
Is they were made in a garage

Covers and uncovers at nine!
February's finally here
Winter has raised its head
But what I would rather do
Is stay snug in my bed

Come celebrate a clever bird at nine
Magpies "borrow" bits and pieces
Then place them so they belong
Though doing so won't make a sound
It's still a lovely song

Swing AND voltage at nine
You know I love that big band sound,
Crowds, and a thumping beat
If you decide to come round
You'd make my drams complete.

Before I forget
Graham Annable (@grickle) was asking for doodle submissions and gave me this. Not quite what I look like, but we'll say close enough.
Saturday, January 9, 2016
Don't you dare retire at nine
You hunt me down, as if in sport
Why? Am I not a human being?
What could your puny eyes report?
You can't believe the things I've seen
The only reason for my return:
To live a life that's fully mine
Then ignore all other concerns
And ask for what I want: more time

A New Year at Nine
And now, with good friends gathered near
We dance to tunes for this new year
Collecting all of our good cheer
Into the place we love. Here.
