A Charlie Brown Christmas Vinyl Celebration

Image
Few records can really bring out the joy of Christmas, which s why it’s sometimes important to look at which out of the thousands of releases have stood the test of time. Out of the many articles that I have written past and present, I think that there is one record that stands out above all others as the best record to bring in the Christmas season for all people. Regardless of your religion, background, or nationality, one album will sustain that happiness through the holidays, and that’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” by Vince Guaraldi Trio . The Peanuts have an interesting special about the glory of the season and it starts off with Linus and Charlie Brown talking. Of course our young cartoon friend needs help battling depression and Linus tries to showcase the greatness of things. With this soundtrack album, you get all the music from the television special that was originally released in 1965. The soundtrack was produce on vinyl, and for my money it’s hands down the best way to

The Best Doors Live Record

There are a lot of, and I do mean a lot of Doors live records available today. But for my money, one of the best records to be put out after the death of Jim Morrison, and updated for these modern times is that of “Live AtThe Bowl ‘68” .

The Doors “Live At The Bowl ‘68” truly exemplifies what all the fans of their music would want and expect from the band at their peak. The vinyl recording found here, is definitely worth picking up, as you will gain a sonic boom of cool throughout. The recording is impeccable, with distortions, static, and other problems that were previously heard now removed and clea

The New Korn Does Not Suck, Perhaps I Suck

I saw the new Korn video recently and was completely amused. The video showcases a much lighter, and radio friendly Korn than we have seen in recent years. I laughed out loud, and nearly shed a tear from the track that had Jonathan Davis talking about how he would never love again. Surprisingly enough Brian “Head” Welch, Monkey, and Fieldy were all there, in a new phase of the band that has me wondering if the 90s are back in full swing. This comes after the fact that Alice In Chains has released a new record , I have rediscovered my absolute adoration of Mad Season, and Pearl Jam just released a new record as well. Whatever is going on with rock music today, it’s not being pushed out by Kroq and 98.7 FM which is too bad. I have been listening to 95.5 KLOS (the classic rock) a lot more. I never stopped listening to them, but would make fun of my stepfather for liking the station. I actually won tickets to see arena football thanks to the constant calling that I did to the station i
