"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and that our stupid equipment worked properly..." The Davenport Sisters wanted to bring you a two hour Christmas special chock-a-block full of special guests, surprise sing alongs, monkeys on tricycles, Emmett's hip-hoperatic translation of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, instead they're bringing you the first hour of this festive holiday failure and keeping their fingers crossed that next year the equipment doesn't explode half way through the show. 12.22.08 Playlist: Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas Man Man - Whalebones Bonnie Rideout, Maggie Sansone and Al Petteway - Gloomy Winter Porn Orchard - This Holiday Season The Real Tuesday Weld - It's a Wonderful Li(f)e Danny Elfman - What's This?

In an effort to improve Emmett's increasingly foul holiday mood, Klaude creates an attitude modifier that unfortunately reverts Emmett's brain back to her toddler years.

The sisters enjoy the slightly earlier time slot and prove that no matter what time it is, they're still a bucket full of goofy. Phineas joins the ladies to bring us this week's sponsors, helps Klaude name her first full length album, plays "guess that tune" with Emmett during her poetry corner, and engages the sisters in extended discourse on a special kind of hug. 12.08.08 Playlist: Harlequin Jones - Worried Ugly Chris Randall - Up Jumped the Devil Reverend Glasseye - 17 Lashes Theremin Noir - Waltz for Clara DeVotchKa - Such A Lovely Thing Duke Special - Salvation Tambourine Flogging Molly - Tobacco Island Hayseed Dixie - Black Dog The Decemberists - The Chimbly Sweep Mr B, Gentleman Rhymer - Straight Outta Surrey Slow Poisoners - The Creeping Ritual Legendary Shack Shakers - Agony Wagon Why Are We Building Such A Big Ship? - Gone is Gone The Gourds - Flavor on the Tongue Luminescent Orchestrii - She's A Brick Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Curse of Milhaven New Pornographers - The Fake Headlines Vernian Process - Maple Leaf Rag Lemming Malloy - House of Cards Nouvelle Vague - Love Will Tear Us Apart Tripod - Death on Two Legs Beat Circus - Delirium Tremens Tiger Lillies - Your Suicides The Damned - History of the World (Part I) Magnetic Fields - (Crazy For You But) Not that Crazy Logo: David Göbel, bulletride.deProduced by the Clockwork Cabaret.

This evening's show finds the sisters playing nothing but covers of other songs. This is a perfect example of steampunk - making something old new again.
