Here a few days before Christmas the Blob wanted to play some classic music from the king. During his storied career Elvis recorded a number of Christmas albums. This particular one was played in the household as a young Blob and he remembers it being the album that sort of rung in the Christmas season for his family. We hope you enjoy the music. Have a very Merry Christmas from Vinyl Rhetoric.

As we get closer to Christmas Kingcow felt the time honoured Dickens telling of Ebinezer Scrooge would be appropriate. We agree. So here is the soundtrack from Scrooge. Merry Christmas.

Well, Christmas is upon us so the Blob thought a nice children's album would be appropriate. He decided on Frosty the Snowman due to the fact that he heard these tunes every holiday season and they always brought in the season. Merry Christmas everyone.

Today we serve up a Kiss. Outrageous and unique is the perfect description of this massive arena group. Their shows were something to witness. There sound was driving and the pyrotechnics were solid. Seeing Kiss was an experience. We hope listening brings back the memories of crazy times and crazier decisions. Getting crazy for Christmas with Kiss.

Kingcow serves us up some early hip-hop from it very first hall of fame inductee in that category, Grandmaster Flash. Born in Barbados and growing up in the Bronx to a father who had an extensive record collection and a mother who pushed him toward electronics it as no wonder he became a DJ. Learning to cut, scratch and mix gave him the upper hand in a burgeoning music scene that was turning to an electronic sound. Developing and mastering his sound which is used even today in the DJ environment allowed him to work with some of the greatest in the business. Please enjoy this. I know we did.

Kingcow takes us back in time to 1974 for this release. Truth be told it was a compilation of songs from 62'-65'. Released by their former label the album was originally titled "Best of the Beach Boys Volume 3" and Mike Love said to wait and call it Endless Love. It was figured to have helped sell an additional 3 million copies. We hope you enjoy the surf sounds of the endless summer.

Because this is turkey month the Blob chose his greatest turkey to display. This album side is truly not what it claims to be. When we think of funk we have many thoughts of what we might expect to hear, unfortunately for us Billy Lee Riley has no idea what funk meant in any sense of the word. Get through it is all we can suggest. Merry Thanksgiving.
