After Olga, drummer Martin Yule had the longest tenure in the band ( 1987 – 1999 ).

Tucker returned to the band in late 1970, by which time Reed had left the group and Doug Yule had assumed leadership.

After completing the tour on November 21, 1971, in Groningen, the band planned to start recording a new album, but band manager Steve Sesnick sent all of the band but Yule home, presumably to retain maximum control of the product ( the resulting album was Squeeze, released in 1973 ) and effectively ending Alexander's time with the band.

The Velvet Underground, which at that time consisted of Doug Yule ( vocals / guitar ), Willie Alexander ( keyboards / vocals ), Walter Powers ( bass guitar ) and Maureen Tucker ( drums ), had toured the United Kingdom and the Netherlands in October and November 1971 to support its latest album, Loaded, which had been written and recorded when Lou Reed was in the band, and which had seen a European release in March 1970.

After singer, guitarist and main songwriter Lou Reed quit the Velvet Underground in August 1970, the band carried on: Doug Yule assumed leadership of the band and moved to lead vocals and guitar, and Walter Powers joined to play bass guitar.

However, band manager Steve Sesnick sent Alexander, Powers and Tucker back to America, and Yule recorded the album Squeeze backed by session musicians.

Yule and the band struggled through the dates, then called it quits.

The tour manager insisted on billing the band as being the Velvet Underground despite demands from Yule not to do so.

The band soldiered on with bassist Doug Yule moving to vocals and guitar and Walter Powers being drafted in to play bass guitar.

Terms with an etymological equivalent to Yule are used in the Nordic countries for the Christian Christmas ( with its religious rites ), but also for other holidays of the season.

Scholars have connected the month event and Yule time period to the Wild Hunt ( a ghostly procession in the winter sky ), the god Odin ( who is attested in Germanic areas as leading the Wild Hunt and, as mentioned above, bears the name Jólnir ), and increased supernatural activity, such as the aforementioned Wild Hunt and the increased activities of draugar — undead beings who walk the earth.

The events of Yule are generally held to have centered around Midwinter ( although specific dating is a matter of debate ), and feasting, drinking, and sacrifice ( blót ) were involved.

" The name the " Old Woman " ( Latin vetula ) for such " corn dolls " was in use among the Germanic pagans of Flanders in the 7th century, where Saint Eligius discouraged them from their old practices: " not make vetulas, ( little figures of the Old Woman ), little deer or iotticos or set tables the house-elf, compare Puck ( mythology ) | Puck at night or exchange New Year gifts or supply superfluous drinks Yule custom.

The Yule Log is a television program which is broadcast traditionally on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning ( except for the 1990s and the year 2000 when the program wasn't broadcast ), originally by New York City television station WPIX but now by many other Tribune Company-owned television stations, including WGN America, and by Antenna TV starting in 2011.

In March 2000, Yule Log fan Joseph Malzone of Totowa, New Jersey created a web site named " Bring Back The Log " ( now named TheYuleLog. com, and administered by Lawrence F. " Chip " Arcuri ), and petitioned station management to broadcast The Yule Log again.

In 2010, The Yule Log was broadcast on the Gospel Music Channel ( GMC ), for 24 hours starting at 8: 00 P. M. Christmas Eve until 8: 00 P. M. Christmas night.

WKBW-TV in Buffalo ( not owned by Tribune ), as a replacement for that day's morning newscast, introduced the Yule Log as a replacement in 2008 ; it did not return in 2009.

Some of the stations and cable channels that have broadcast imitations of the Yule Log simulcast the Christmas music from a radio station that is playing it, and before 1989, the WPIX version also secondarily promoted the playing of the same Christmas music in a simulcast over their sister FM station, WPIX-FM ( 101. 9 ), for those unable view the Yule Log on television.
