…and now for something completely different! 2227 - 2023

Those damned religious zealots, politicians, warlords and... They all bring death and ruin and they don't know that they are as superfluous as telephone disinfectors and hairdressers! - RYP

We have a first entry each day that is a picture or a video, and only in that entry you can place your music links and requests (NO ALBUMS RELEASED IN 2021 AND AFTER, AND A DAILY LIMIT OF 3 ALBUMS AND NO REQUESTS FOR FLAC OR OTHER LOSSLESS, IF YOU WANT FLAC, BUY THE ALBUM)! Here you can say what you like, unless it's offensive, racist or discriminatory! Please keep your language polite and respectful. All other official posts will only allow comments related to the official posts and such. That way it will keep things much more organized and tidy. Enjoy! RYP and Gyro1966 and Gaius R.I.P.

Thank you Rocky for the news and the link.
This is one of the finest Rock and Roll albums ever.
Up there in my top 50!

Without the Dictators, no Ramones. They were the NY band that inspired the Ramones.

I have said that Real punk should be shocking and dangerous.
This first recent number is a punk anthem for the 2020's.
Warms my heart, Crank it up.

The Spirit Of Christmas

Between 1993 and 2016, the department store I worked at for 32 years partnered with The Salvation Army to produce an annual Christmas CD, with the proceeds going to charity.

The CDs feature a selection of well-known (and some not-so-well-known) Australian artists with a few international artists thrown in for good measure.

I was a little late starting to collect the CDs, so I only have half of them - I'm missing 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2013. If anyone has copies of the CDs I'm missing, could you please post them.

Some of these are my rips, some are from my brother and a few are downloads.

There will be 6 more days of Soft Machine following the Christmas posts. I forgot about these last year until it was too late. I didn't want to do the same for a second year running.

Thanks for the Christmas music from Down Under! Looking forward to hearing the others.

My blog is full of crappy, obscure Christmas music from vinyl this time of year, so if that sounds interesting, check it out. Lots of things that have slid through the cracks, some deservedly so, but not all of them deserve to be forgotten.

Hi all, I've just been made aware of an 80's LA cable TV show called L.A. IN via the rerelease of The Pandoras first LP. Anyone got any info/footage they could share? Typing LA IN in the searchbox at youtube is, um, interesting.

Some years ago, back in my trading days, I acquired (the music files of) 3 large box sets by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.

San Antonio Rose is the first. Pre 1947 recordings. No artwork, just the songs. 11 discs.

Thanks to Richie Nixan, I now have The Spirit Of Christmas CDs for 1995, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003 & 2004, so there are only five still missing (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2013). Wikipedia tells me that there was no CD in 1997 (my bad, I should have checked first), and 2017 & 2018 (issued after I retired) are both Best ofs.

Thanks for this one. This is not what you'd think. Elvis went to the Stax studio to record, but took his regular band - didn't record with any of the Stax regulars.
Don't let than fool you, this is a wonderful album set.

Thank you, my friend.
