Mr. Jones...
I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE FRENZY THAT OCCURS EVERY YEAR WHEN...
...3 BILLION XMAS CD'S HIT THE STORES ALL VYING FOR OUR HOLIDAY DOLLAR.
WHOA!!!!
I've been in the record business for 14 years now and it seems that no artist is above the xmas temptation. Even the most hethanistic rock stars catch the xmas bug, no one is immune. Below is a small cross section of album covers meant to show the ridiculousness of this phenominon (1 or 2 may be fake, but probably only 1):






















Now, I'm not an unfeeling heathen, I have a very specific soft spot. When I was a kid the radio stations in Fresno would switch to 24/7 xams mayhem around late November. Every year, me and my mom would wait for one very special song to hit the airwaves and we would always sing along. here you go, Merry Xmas:
THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS SONG EVER RECORDED!!!

room 5
the greatest album of all time... at least for today
my favorites are Foghorn Leghorn singing "Love Me Tender"
the dude doing his voice isn't the best Foghorn, it just sounds like a drunk southern guy doing karaoke, then halfway through it turns into a spike jones tribute with rather disturbing sound effects...
and Daffy Duck doin' "Hound Dog" wirh Bugs and Elmer Fudd...
WHOA! PEPE LE PEW AND TAZ DOING "DEVIL IN DISGUISE"
wow, this really just sounds like an album full of bad foreign accents...

THIS IS CRACKING ME UP TO NO END...
SOOO.....
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR FRIENDS, OR MAYBE OLDER BROTHERS AND SISTERS, OR MAYBE EVEN AN AUNT OR AN UNCLE THAT IS NOT MUCH OLDER THAN YOU HAS KIDS...?
THEY TORTURE THEM WITH THESE:
(I'VE TRIED TO MATCH MOST OF THEM WITH THE REAL ISPIRATION FOR THEIR COVERS)...






















i'm pretty sure the nirvana was a t-shirt design, couldn't find it, so i put in my fav l.p.





the stones album seems to be a collabo of forty licks and steel wheels?






the bob marley one is too damn funny




coldplay, whoa, quite conceptual




these pet sounds variations are too much


uhhh, with teeth mixed with march of the pigs?
okay, now the "now i've heard everything" entry
i listened to this one today and that's what sparked this insane exercise:

the only lullabye album that sounds like the soundtrack to "a nightmare on elm street"
