Alice Cooper - Is It My Body

Alice Cooper - Is It My Body
I once listed my favourite Greatest Hits collections. Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits was an easy choice.

In the late 80s and very early 90s I would hang at Joe's where his brother Frank would show off their stereo that actually went to 11. They cranked a lot of Ozzy and Van Halen and Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits. The Ozzy was alright and the Van Halen was okay, but the Alice Cooper struck a chord. I still love this album.

Joe is considering a run for city council. I think he'd be great. Go for it, Joe!

Nirvana vs. Lady Gaga
DJ Lobsterdust mashed up Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face". It works for me.

Tipitina's Foundation - O Holy Night

Tipitina's Foundation - O Holy Night
A long time ago, there were two NBC series that took place behind the scenes of an SNL-like variety show. We all know and love "30 Rock", but do you remember Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip"?

I watched "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip", and three years later a song that aired on that series still makes my holiday playlist. There was a Christmas episode in which band members called in sick to create work for New Orleans musicians in need of cash. These musicians were given a spot on the show and they performed this fantastic rendition of "O Holy Night".

What Can You Get A Wookie For Christmas (When He Already Owns A Comb)
Until Christmas, you're getting two MP3s a week, every Monday and Wednesday. Don't say I never give you anything.

This is from Christmas in the Stars: Star Wars Christmas Album. In this Star Wars fan's opinion, "What Can You Get A Wookie For Christmas (When He Already Owns A Comb)" is the best cut on the album.
