Matches and whatnot at seven.

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 

Tuesday, November 29, 2016

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).

Tuesday, November 22, 2016

Right day WRONG YEAR at nine

A historical set today
Tomorrow's the anniversary
Of the killing of JFK

Tuesday, November 15, 2016

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.

Tuesday, November 8, 2016

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.

Tuesday, November 1, 2016

No problem at all at nine

As long as no one contravenes
We're going to have a Halloween

But celebrate things that have been.

Hope you're ready at nine

For tonight's schedule
Leave a little room
We're got tracks about wolves
And the moon.

Tuesday, October 11, 2016

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.

Tuesday, October 4, 2016

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.

Saturday, August 20, 2016

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

Saturday, July 16, 2016

Get your shots at nine.

Despite what comes, either good or ill
Tonight we play songs from Brazil.

Tonight we're going to celebrate
Every single goddamned state.

Eep! at nine

Here it is, the end of June
I almost forgot Ninja Tune.

Saturday, June 18, 2016

We launch at nine

A couple of the first ladies in space
And I bet you couldn't remember their names.

But you want to hear what's up

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.

But I don't mind admitting
After this week, I'm beat!

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.

Saturday, April 30, 2016

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.

Saturday, April 23, 2016

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.

Saturday, April 16, 2016

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

Saturday, April 2, 2016

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.

Saturday, March 19, 2016

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

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

Saturday, February 20, 2016

Peanutbutter and sheet metal sandwich at nine

We're going to try an experiment
But will it work? We'll see.
Tonight is covers of Kraftwerk
As well as some of Disney.

Saturday, February 13, 2016

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

Saturday, February 6, 2016

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

Saturday, January 30, 2016

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.

Saturday, January 16, 2016

Sweep it up at nine

Tonight we're playing jazz and swing.
Come on by, if that's your thing.

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

Saturday, January 2, 2016

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.
