DAVID BOWIE AND BING CROSBY
Peace On Earth / Little Drummer Boy
1982 UK 7” single

It’s December 4th.
That means it’s time to start goin’ hard at the #christmas music.
So, I’m starting off Christmas music season with my favorite Christmas song ever.

David Bowie, zooted off his tits on cocaine, singing with the most deadbeat dad of deadbeat dads.

The whole thing is just so surreal, & seeing the recorded video only adds to the bizarre nature of the weirdest Christmas hang ever.

When Bowie arrives, it’s snowing outside. That’s not snow. David was ripping lines before Bing opened the door, and he accidentally sneezed, sending his holiday stash airborne, in a majestic winter flurry. 😂

Bowie recalled Crosby not being there at all. Just…gone. He said he looked “like an old orange sitting on a stool”.

It’s amazing that two people as far removed from one other as possible could make such bizarre magic.

DINOSAUR JR.
Farm
2024 U.S. Deluxe Edition reissue

A wonderful 15th Anniversary reissue of my favorite of the Dinosaur Jr. 2.0 reunion albums; complete with slipcase, plus 4 extra unreleased tracks.

One of those bonus tracks, Houses, was originally written and recorded by Elyse Weinberg, a female Canadian singer/songwriter. This reissue might be worth owning just for their cover of that.

The original recording from 1969 features Neil Young on guitar, and didn’t see the light of day until 2015.

That aside, everything you love about Dinosaur Jr. is on Farm.
J’s nasty guitar shredding, wonderful fuzzed-out melodic alt rock that never fails to deliver.

They’ve never made a bad record, with or without Lou Barlow.
Because J. Mascis is the fuckin goat.

Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, Conscious Party, 1988 on Virgin

Third LP from Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, which included Stephen, Sharon and Cedella plus Ziggy, all children of Bob and Rita Marley (who also adds backing vocals). Guests include Jerry Harrison and Tina Weymouth. Chris Franz and Weymouth also produced.

Loved this album when it came out – fairly certain I had a copy on vinyl in 1988, but jah knows where it ended up. This copy—via the Worcester Record Riot—is a Specialty pressing (see the E A S T around the spindle hole) with the original printed inner liner.
