The Beach Boys Christmas album (on CD). Let's see if I can
listen to most of the Christmas music by Christmas.

See the Christmas music item in Fall Agora, item #111, I think.
Eddie Gee's Christmas Party CD is playing, with out-takes
from Three Stooges Christmas project (circa 1955) and The Old
Philosper's Christmas Spirit narrative thing.

What's wrong with Christmas music? It just depends on the artist..
Mannheim Steamroller produced three awesome Christmas albums, for example,
and they are well known..

Hmm...I tend to object to Christmas Music - the traditional carols and songs,
and all their various and sundry arrangements - but music that happens to be
written for Christmas is all right.

BTW, Chris -- since you brought up the Jam in your mention of Chisel,
any suggestions for a starting point for someone who's heard some of
their stuff but has no Jam recordings?

re: #332-- I happen to like many traditional carols, but they are often the
lesser-known ones. I think I know what you mean, Dan-- some carols have just
been terribly worn out, and new, fresh music needs to be written.
I still think Chip Davis is brilliant (he's the Mannheim Steamroller
percussionist and composer) with even his rendition of familiar carols.
"Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" on _Christmas In the Aire_ sounded rather
annoying and obnoxious (I would have chosen traditional instruments for the
melody line-- or at least a different sound from the tone bank).

I don't mind christmas music, per se, (i *love* going caroling) but the place
i work plays the same songs over and over all season, every year. If I hear
(I guess) Dolly Parton singing, "...you've made this a christmas to
remember..." one more time, I'm bringing the Uzi into work, and I'm taking
out fellow employees at random (no, I don't work at the post office).

Well if you work someplace we might stumble into, like a retail
establishment or a business where you have contact with the public,
please let us know so we can plan accordingly this holiday season..

I think that _Compact Snap_ is still in print. It is a pretty comprehensive
"Greatest Hits" type of CD. The Jam's best studio albums IMHO are "All Mod
Cons" their third album, and "Setting Sons" their fourth album. These two
albums show a refined Paul Weller (plus "Setting Sons" has the most kick ass
cover of "Heatwave"!) The first two albums, "In The City" and "(This is the)
Modern World" are great examples of the rougher, punkier Jam. If you'd like
to check a couple out let me know, I have nearly a complete discography.

Dunno how "in print" it is but I saw a copy of "Compact Snap" at
Vinyl Solution in GR the other day (on my way back from Thanksgiving
with my folks..) Looked like a good buy (lots o' tracks, including
just about all the songs with which I was familiar enough to remember
the title..) but held off 'cause I wasn't sure if I'd want a greatest
hits CD -- usually when I buy one I end up regretting it -- either I
don't like the band and thus don't like the hits CD or I wind up
liking the band in which case I usually prefer listening to the original
albums and often prefer the non-hit album tracks to the ones that became
popular. I didn't see "All Mod Cons" in the bin when I was looking but
I've seen it around, will consider that or "Setting Sons"

Kip Addotta covered that tune? He's the one that did the "Wet Dream"
song/monologue..
