Spoken word piece created for Jon Solomon's 2022 "25-Hour Holiday Radio Show" on WPRB in Princeton, NJ.

Cracker Barrel

Recorded December 2022 for Jon Solomon's 25 hour Holiday Radio Show Marathon on WPRB. 

you left the lights up 
till god crashed the party
face to the window 
fogging up your dreams 
friends growing sinister
plotting your death

you left the lights up
on public display 
for all the demons and angels to pray
the game kept pulsing 
long after we'd fallen out

maybe it's better
if we don't hash it out 
over drinks and smoke
flesh falling from our mouths

you left the lights up 
and covered up your eyes
bad actors acting like
the elders were surprised 
their graves were mobilized 
their engines were already cold 

maybe it's better
if we don't hash it out 
over drinks and smoke
flesh falling from our mouths
maybe I don't wanna know
that your heart will turn to salt
that the game keeps pulsing 
long after we log out

leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here
leave the lights up
we're still here

Leave the Bathroom Light On for Santa

It's finally here! The 2025 holiday mix is out. This is a tradition that goes back decades.  Like most Xmas mixes it begins with a DJ Tenderloin track, and then we're off and running!   Christmas on The Planet of the Apes is of course a nod to the 5 mix series that I released this year on Mixcloud, all inspired by the original Planet of the Apes (movies, TV, cartoon, etc. - the OG - oh and thanks for the shout out Boing Boing!)   I have to send Mele Kalikimaka out to our friend Suzanne for letting us stay at her place in Honolulu (and the use of her car!) and to our friends in SF - Brian & Mary Jo for letting us crash there en route!  And as always a big thanks to Jon Solomon at WPRB - many things you hear in this mix I discovered listening to his 25 Hour Christmas Music Marathon (!) on WPRB - now in it's 38th year!   Lots of good stuff on this year's mix - and really nothing sums up this current administration like "No Room at the Inn".  We gotta save this country y'all!  Anyhoo - I hope everyone has a safe, happy, healthy holiday season and new year.   Peace.
