Step right this way, folks! The minimum height, which is required to climb on this ride, is purely a state of mind.

Icy chill conditions set the tone as a winter storm rages back east. New days are upon us with a post holiday blow out; leftovers still kept warm and shared. From resolutions to revolution, living in the moment and we say goodnight to Phil... aural embers fill the air.

At the end of every year comes those obligatory "Best of" lists and stuff. Wax! Crackle! Pop! is no exception! Well, sorta. Special guests, filmmaker Danny Plotnick and musician Chris Xefos, join DJ Jim G and look back to celebrate "musical moments" had this year. Discovering new and rediscovering the not as new sounds 2013 experienced us with.

Basking here in all it's glory: holiday raves and reinterpreted faves, fab four theatrics, plus a few toons that we think matter during the lunacy that "Tis the season." Secret Santas Charles & John exchange gifts with host DJ Jim G bringing good tidings to you!

As the sun still burns away, some of us return as astral travelers. You need meat? Walk, don't run then. After all, life is just a temporary thing. This week's show looks back and listens to some of those who've passed on from this world in 2013.

1977: Elvis died, punk & disco thrived; we tried! Special guests Charles & John join Jim G in looking back with some hits and some deep, DEEP grooves. Wax! Crackle! Pop!

As we enter thee holiday season some of us start to wonder where we belong in all of the hoopla. Maybe partying will help.

My first night on the air. After a furious week of moving (first time in 10 years) I removed myself from the sea of boxes in my new home and grabbed the first couple boxes of records I saw and made it down to the station. From Nina Simone to Hawkwind, Bob Seger to Tuxedomoon and then some… it was a pretty fun first night. Thanks for listening.
