Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got love in my tummy! Lots of great boxing day sales. Picked up a few great albums at the charity store. This strange week that lies between the celebration of the sun god’s birth and the holiday for Janus is perfect for listening to this wonderful stuff. Without further adoo:

Like the Jackson 5 and The Beach Boys, these sibling’s weird dad forces them to become rock stars. Unlike the Jackson 5 and The Beach Boys, they weren’t actually talented (but also, not screwed up by dad either). The Shaggs (American obviously) are a bit of a cult favorite though:

Philosophy of the world – The Shaggs

Everybody loves the Beatles, right? What a great find:

TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

Voivod – Tribal Convictions

I will have to eventually start cleaning up the Ovaltine spills before people start showing up around here again. And then I have to act sensible and talk about ‘real‘ music again. “Oh sorry Mater, but I’m off to play the grand piano.” The Hammond organ greats not good enough for you? You weed!
