mobile homeless Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 My best buddy Chris is keeping this thread afloat with the help of everyone but me... I wish I could be help. So...... in an attempt to add to the flavor, let me present: Christmas in the new Millennium!

fini Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 The Asylum Street Spankers (http://asylumstreetspankers.com/) have a Christmas album. My wife and I saw them perform Monday night in San Francisco, in a club called The Makeout Room, located in the Mission. Cool show. Funny, bawdy, classy, nasty, acoustic (NO amplification, how refreshing!), and excellent musicians. They're in Tucson tonight before heading back home to Austin. They are worth a SERIOUS checkin' out. fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed3 Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Chipmunks?!? What about NKOTB!!!

Chris Robinson Posted December 20, 2002 Author Share Posted December 20, 2002 Kelly, can you email that mp3 file to me? My home machine has conflicts on the Real Player and my IT group won't let me run it from your PE site. Thanks for the thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 My favorite Christmas CD's would, in no particular order, be: "Christmas Time With The Judds" - The Judds (or as my wife used to refer to them - "The Juggs") "Light Of The Stable" - Emmylou Harris "The Many Moods Of Christmas" - Robert Shaw and The Atlanta Symphony & Chorus ...all three also sound really, really good.

Lonelobo Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 I can't believe nobody has mentioned Brave Combo's "It's Christmas, Man" Brave Combo is one of the best dance bands in the country and bills itself as a Nuclear Polka Band. Then there's Robert Earl Keen, Jr. singing, Mom got drunk and Dad got Drunk...at our Christmas Party. And one I forgot till I heard it on the radio a few days ago...Cheech and Chong's "Santa Clause and His Old Lady" Now that's classic vinyl.

mobile homeless Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Thought you would never ask! How can it be Christmas without the one jazz artist (besides Dave Brubeck), that is liked by almost ALL: Vince Guaraldi. Click on the below to go back in time for ye olde Charlie Brown Christmas ~ Linus and Lucy.mp3 ~ Skating.mp3 ~ O_Tannenbaum.mp3 That should be enough to tide any sane human over...till next christmas that is. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted December 21, 2002 Author Share Posted December 21, 2002 Well I finally ditched the Real Player, rebooted and upgraded the MS Media Player ... My PC speakers are back in action! Got ole' James doing that wiggly thing with his legs right now! Man, I've forgotten how much I love JB.

mobile homeless Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Glad you got the computer sound working again, Chris. You are still going to need Real One player for RealAudio. So reload that and configure it so it ONLY does real audio files. Leave media player to do everything else. Although the RealAudio player has gotten really invasive. Only use it for RA files. Now you need to listen to the classic Linus And Lucy! kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted December 21, 2002 Author Share Posted December 21, 2002 I enjoyed those as well ... Carrie's a VG FREAK and has his stuff all over the house ... We enjoy it all season long. I suppose I didn't post it as a favorite simply because it's playing so much I hardly notice it anymore ... although I do enjoy it. JB was great, though ... My hands WERE in the air! What a sight, some balding old white guy trying to do spin moves in the suburbs. Scary. It made all the kids actually GO to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Yeah, I stumbled upon that James Brown number and got a laugh out of it. IT has a few GREAT breaks in the middle along with a couple of classic lines. Ole James even throws in a computer quip! kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt1stcav Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 There are many great selections listed here in every genre of music possible. My favorite Christmas music still remains the traditional classical carols, especially those performed on the pipe organ. Most are familiar with the recordings of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir & organ, but my three favorite CDs are of the great virtuoso concert organist, the late Dr. Virgil Fox: *Virgil Fox Christmas Favorites (1950's), Sony Music (A 20076) *A Virgil Fox Christmas (1960-'62), EMI Classics (7243 5 66088 2 5) *The Christmas Album (1965), Bainbridge Records (BCD 2505) Fox was the "Liberace" of the organ world, winning numerous awards throughout his long career. Often misunderstood & unconventional, historians (purists) despised his interpretations! He was a showman for sure, but his unique style attracted both organ-lovers & rock fans. Fox will always be remembered for his sold-out "Heavy Organ" Bach concerts during the '70's at the Filmore East to an audience of hippies! My Cornwalls are happiest during the holidays.
