...and we have a WINNER!

CONGRATULATIONS to Officer Jeff Stewart of the Garfield, NJ police department.

sittin' in Charlie Bloods last night (you've REALLY gotta go to this amazing restaurant), it was brought to my attention that Z-100 played Christmas Wrapping yesterday morning (at around 8:50am).

Officer Stewart will get $100 donated in his name to The Hoboken Library's Childrens Book Fund.

RUNNER-UP: Bill Hubay heard it on December 1st @ 5:30pm at Skyline Chili in Lyndhurst, OH.

today, friday 12/4, picking up a late lunch at fresh on
seventh ave and 30th st., "xmas wrapping"  came over the
in-store p.a. it was my first for 2009. i'm not even sure
the xmas wrapping trainspotting game still exists, and if
it does still exist, i imagine someone else heard it back
around halloween, but anyway, just in case, there you 
go, and i wanted to write anyway to say it was great to
see you a couple weeks ago at bowery electric."

- WFMU's Ol' Pal Irwin Chusid emailed me on Friday, Dec. 4th at 10:18am that the song is playing on DeepIntoMusic.net.
