Curious if your cover has already been done? Ask me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Write and tape a holiday tune built around the Glenn Danzig songbook for inclusion on the&nbsp;<strong>ALL-MISFITS SET<\/strong>&nbsp;at 1:38 am ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Have a song by or about reindeer? My daughter hosts a program WITHIN the marathon called\u00a0<strong>MAGGIE\u2019S REINDEER RUMBLE<\/strong>\u00a0and she would love to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-There\u2019s an\u00a0<strong>ALL-BLACK SABBATH SET<\/strong>\u00a0that can always use new pieces. Especially this year. RIP Ozzy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Same with the soothing balm that is\u00a0<strong>ALL-VELVET UNDERGROUND \/ LOU REED INSPIRED SET<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-In 2023 I did a well-received\u00a0<strong>ALL-JOY DIVISION \/ NEW ORDER-INSPIRED SET<\/strong>\u00a0for the first time. In 2024 it expanded. I\u2019d repeat it this year with more material beyond what already exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Enjoy mashing up the beats with the rhymes? The\u00a0<strong>ALL-BEASTIE BOYS SET<\/strong>\u00a0is for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Fond of the post punk stylings of one Mr. Mark E. Smith? the\u00a0<strong>THE ALL-FALL SET<\/strong>\u00a0is your destination. Did you know Neal Markowski once re-wrote all of Hex Induction Hour song-by-song for it? (You don&#8217;t need to go that far unless you want to.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Last Christmas I premiered an epic\u00a0<strong>ALL-NEIL YOUNG INSPIRED SET<\/strong>\u00a0for the first time. Let us run it back with even more covers \/ originals \/ mash-ups \/ what have you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Finally, this Christmas Eve I will swing an\u00a0<strong>ALL-KRAFTWERK SET<\/strong>\u00a0for the first time. Ready your bleeps and bloops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All submissions for my 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show on 103.3 fm WPRB can be sent\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/keepingscoreathome.com\/?p=5565\">right here<\/a>.
