THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE: 
...with A CHRISTMAS SHINDIG! The full episode has gone dark, but still-available clips from 1964 include The Beach Boys' "Dance, Dance, Dance," Bobby Sherman and Donna Loren singing "Keep on Searching," the Righteous Brothers doing "The Jerk" and an awesome milk commercial, Bobby Sherman with "Sleigh Ride," Donna Loren returning with a Spector-esque, but rougher "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and The Beach Boys returning for a set including "Little Saint Nick," "Monster Mash" (yes, really), "Papa Oom Mow Mow," "Johnny B. Goode," and "We Three Kings." MJ LENDERMAN plays KEXP. GUNS N' ROSES share “Nothin'’” and “Atlas.” GREGORY CORSO & MARIANNE FAITHFULL share “No Arrangement Was Made.” THE SOFTIES cover Lisa Prank's “Turn It Up.” THE 100 BEST SONGS of 2025, according to Rolling Stone.
