Thought I'd try out this #promosky thing for myself. Let's see how it goes~
Both of The Carpenters Christmas albums are my favorite to listen to this time of year. The way they're constructed is like listening to a TV special. Richard's composition and Karen's heaven-sent vocals make for a warm welcome to the holiday season.

Christmas time is here!
Just a week to go, and I've been celebrating by listening to my holiday records that I've only started collecting in the past couple months. We begin with some essential winter jazz~

From jazzman to freak show ringleader, Tom Waits' gravel voice that weaves poetic tales of misery and woe has spanned over five decades now.
To celebrate his 76th birthday today (12/7), here is my vinyl collection of his eclectic catalog.

I'm sure, back then, seeing progressive rock bands change their styles in the 80s was considered a huge letdown. Hopefully, four decades down the road, they've gotten better recognition.

On this day in 1969, a certain children's program aired their first episode with this tune playing at the top of the show. And the rest, they say, was history.
