The Velvet Setlist

Welcoming the almost new year in the usual way, with snark, obscurity and shiny sharp knives. The playlist is there, below the fold.

I'd wanted to make up a playlist of completely new stuff, but of course, no one releases a CD on January First. Doubtful even for Jan. 2.

Here's the set list for last night's show, including a few items at the end that there was no time to play.
