It's Christmas time, so naturally we spend about an hour talking about going to For The Love of Horror, the UK's premier horror convention. If you want to hear us going on and on about The Lost Boys you're in the right place! Otherwise it's business as usual as we delve into a festive edition of Kerrang from 1983. The stars of Metal are asked what they want for Christmas and most of their answers are variations on the same theme. Shout at the Devil era Mötley Crüe are on the cover and give us some extremely on brand quotes, and reveal their inconsistent scoring system. ZZ Top are compared to Status Quo but don't rise to it. We sing the praises of some of Ozzy Osbourne's lesser known hits (but not the version of Changes he did with Kelly). Brian May of Queen is ready to launch his Star Fleet project and we ponder whether Hot Space was all that bad. We get confused as to when Dragon Attack came out, but the movie had them recording We Will Rock You in the 80s, so get off our dick. Hawkwind's Sonic Attack is recalled, as is Hard Rock Zombies and we consider whether it's even possible to dislike Genesis.   Recommended Insta follows:  @ftlohorror (For The Love of Horror, obv) @the_lost_frogs_comics (for God's sake try and identify those mystery publications) @jamisonnewlander (actual Frog brother!) @the.evil.shed (amazing monster builds) Recorded 22 November 2023   Check out pics from the issue on our Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/podwithmadness/   YouTube playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6jGszBq8BFEar9KpzMsYn1vnP7gS-87k&si=yzsPAq8F0A-DMq5I   Tip us on ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/podwithmadness   CAN I POD WITH MADNESS THEME by Oliver Gardiner  @revilorenidrag #Podcast #Metal #HeavyMetal #Kerrang #80s #MetalHammer #ClassicRock    #motleycrue #zztop VinceNeil #Queen #starfleet #fortheloveofhorror #hardrockzombies #BrianMay #OzzyOsbourne #Hawkwind #Genesis #TheLostBoys #Christmas #krampus #HiBilly

Double stories this week for Christmas! The first story is historical about Captain Santa and the Christmas Tree Ship on the waters of Lake Michigan making a late season run in a big storm. Check out the photo of the shipwreck on our FB page, Twitter or Instagram. The second story is from Catalan culture about the Caganer, the mysterious figure in the back of nativity scenes...who appears to be taking a poop. Then my favorite, Caga Tió, the Christmas log or pooping log. You must take good care of your log and feed it good things so that it will poop out treats and gifts for you on Christmas. I'll be sharing several photos of the log and a video from our trip to Spain where I got to meet (and beat) the big one! Song: Pooping Log (Caga Tió) ft.

Mary and Colin look back at one of Wisconsin's most famous ship captains and the Christmas Tree Ship (photo credit: Wisconsin Shipwrecks)

In the late 1800s Chicago families bought their Christmas trees from the decks of schooners that had ferried them across Lake Michigan. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll meet Herman Schuenemann, known as "Captain Santa," who brought Christmas to the city for 30 years until a fateful storm overtook him. We'll also peruse some possums and puzzle over a darkening phone. Intro: In 1991 a Yale physician proposed naming toes. No one's quite sure how cats navigate.
