First, yes, Stubby's is still closed. And I believe the domain, itself, will vanish in October. But I couldn't abandon you entirely...not in a plague year. So I did what I do.Let's be honest as all hell. 2020 has been a miserable year. For everybody. And Christmas is but a brief exhale, because Covid isn't going anywhere and there's still a traitor in the White House until January 21. (Don't like my politics? I don't care.). And the i [...]
There has been a ton of news and, if it were in me, I'd be posting every day. But its just not. We're essentially down to a month before the domain expires. The website should remain, though. A good friend (because I never take candy from strangers) has offered to foot the bill to keep it up for at least a year. But me, I'll be outta here.We have rumors, based upon an Instagram post, that Britney Spears may be working on a Christmas album. And Paul Kelly, the [...]
Ah..... I told you I'd find some Blues. Putumayo has announced their contribution to the 2019 Christmas season. "Blues Christmas" is expected to drop on November 29 and will feature tracks from Charles Brown, Earl King, Anson Funderburgh, Kenny Neal, Nathan & The Zydeco Cha-Chas and more. Full track list below. PS--We'll update Not The List again in a day or so. 1. Charles Brown - Ch [...]
I grew up a Bubblegum kid, transitioned to Rock and Progressive Rock in my late teens, but then was exposed to all kinds of music. And I gotta say that, these days, in my old age, it's the Blues and the Jazz releases I get most excited about.I've long loved Rebecca Kilgore. She sang with Dave Frishberg in the 90s. As for Christmas music, she was featured on two Tall Jazz Christmas albums (1993 and 1997), with Tom Grant on 2007's "Winter Warm" and, in 2010, [...]
If you speak the language, you know that "BFRSD" means Black Friday Record Store Day and, this year, that's November 29. Normally, I find the RSD Christmas product to be a little thin (or maybe I tell myself that because there are no participating stores within 150 miles of here), but last year saw a good number of holiday related titles and, this year, the early list is a whole elves-a-poppin experience.For me, the most exciting coming BFRSD Xmas release, at least at first blush, [...]
Before we get to the updated Not The List... We don't often talk of non-holiday records, here. Heck, I don't often buy non-holiday records. But there are times for exceptions. And this is one and it actually surprised me.Sofia Talvik's "Paws of a Bear" arrived, here, several days ago. But I've been busy with Christmas stuff and hadn't listened, yet. On a whim, I tossed it into the CD player, today. Now, y'all know I'm not unbiased. I almost feel l [...]
Regular visitors to Stubby's know my favorite things, and, as it happens, Snowflakes Christmas Singles are a combination of almost all of those things. They are an annual tradition. I love traditions. They're Christmas, of course. And no one need wonder about my love of the Yuletide. They exist only as vinyl and I luvs me some vinyl. They come from the best Indie bands all over the world. And y'all know I have always been fascinated by the Christmas mus [...]
Lots of new entries, so make sure you check our Not The List. Make sure you check it twice. Wouldn't want you to miss anything cool. Personally, I couldn't resist sharing this 2016 single from Barbra Lica which is included on the just released digital comp (at least I haven't seen any hard copy, yet, although all the previous volumes have been) from the Canadian Jazz Pop Justin Time label, "Justin Time For Christmas, Vol. 6". Included are such holiday faves as Oliver J [...]
This is the end, beautiful friends. For all intents and purposes, this will be my final post, here. As I've mentioned before, the domain has been renewed, in case there's something you want to go back to, but I've always intended to step away by October 26. I might post an update to Not The List, at some point. And, who knows, I might even do one of our annual Stubby's House mixes a few days before Christmas, but otherwise...So I've chosen to close out on a single, since [...]
Still done, but I've this public service to perform. While there is no doubt that many great surprises still await--many we won't learn of until mid-December--the fact is that people who are preparing annual holiday mixes are running out of time. Generally speaking, most Christmas compers try to have a finished product by the first week in December, but nobody starts their project in the first week of December. Most have been working on them for months and are right now making [...]
Why, Stubby, why? Because he must (bonus points if you remember the movie "because he must" comes from).In perfect honesty, I enjoy doing the Stubby's collections more than just about anything I do. They're fun, they're a challenge, they're unexpected (even when you're expecting them), they're different than pretty much anything else that's out there, and I actually feel like I do them pretty well. I do regular Christmas comps and the Stubby's comps are a completely different t [...]
