Dear Dave:
Wonderful Christmas shows!!
I find it very intriguing that you write in your blog that you’ve “lost” your Christmas 2005 episode: there is a link to it in your old ‘postmodernrockshow’ web:
http://www.davecusick.com/listen/post_modern_rock_show_december_23.mp3
Anyways: i do have a copy of it in case you can’t dowload it from your own (old) website!!
All the best for you and your family (hi Sydney!) in 2008.

Ahh, yes, there is that one… Actually, I was trying to keep that particular episode on the down-low. That was the “unofficial” Christmas special that year. It’s a lot of fun, but may be hard to listen to, and not my most professional work.
The one I’m trying to find is the “official” one, from the week before on December 16th. There’s a link to it on my old site, but it doesn’t work. I checked in all my ftp sites, and couldn’t find anything…
Anyone have that show? Anyone?
Thanks so much, Juan, for checking into that! Have a great Christmas.

Dave:
No problem. I happen to have copies of most of your shows. I’ve uploaded the December 16th, 2005 show to the following address:
http://dpingles.ugr.es/jsantana/selector_de_frecuencias/post_modern_rock_show_december_16.mp3
I hope you can download it from there.
All the best.

Juan! It’s a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!! Wow, thanks. I guess you’ve been listening for a long time!
I’ve uploaded it to the old site, and I’ll update the link above. Seriously, thanks so much. Have a great Christmas.
