What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?
Remember — They Might Be Giants, New Year’s Eve, 3:00 kids’ show, 8:00 cursin’ show, The Calvin. Tickets at IHEG.com.

This Week — Marty Beller Guest DJ Set, Premiere of AudraRox Track, and More!
We’ll have a Boxing Day episode on Saturday (okay, we don’t have any Boxing Day songs, but it’s on the 26th). Among other things, we’ll have a great guest DJ set from Mr. Marty Beller, drummer for They Might Be Giants (who will be playing two shows in town on New Year’s Eve [tickets], including a family show at 3:00).
Marty is also a talented producer and his projects include the forthcoming CD from our friends in AudraRox (who will be coming to town in February, by the way). You’ll get to hear a great track from that record, “Five Minutes More,” during his guest DJ set that you won’t hear anywhere else other than live shows until the record comes out.
To tide you over until Saturday, a little AudraRox from last year’s KindieFest:

Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem
We’ve played a bunch from the band’s new kids’ CD, Ranky Tanky. They came by the studio this week to record an in-studio we’ll air on January 2 (a week before they’re playing a benefit (taking place at First Churches) for Nonotuck Preschool). Here’s a sneak preview, a great version of the Funky Meters’ “They All Ask’d For You.” And check out the Drumship Enterprise — as you’ll hear on the show, it includes a cardboard box, a naugahyde suitcase, and all sorts of metal cans!
Uncle Rock Holiday In-Studio
We’ll air this on Saturday, but why not listen to it now?
Danny & Yosi Show Rescheduled
Due to illness, we have to reschedule Danny Adlerman and Yosi’s show at Cup & Top for Tuesday, January 5, at 4:00. It will still be free and still be great!
