Liona Boyd - A Guitar For Christmas
'Tis a fine Christmas album but contains nothing as moving as the song I wrote and performed while shoveling my deck today entitled 'God Damned Winter (Can Fuck Right Off)'.

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense OST
While the record is great, it lacks the visual of a man in a giant suit. I put my marrying 'n' burying suit on different things around the house trying to recreate the experience. It served only to annoy the cat and highlight my growing THC abuse.

Nilsson - The Point!
The story of Oblio, the only round-headed person in Pointed Village.
Either I'm mellowing with age or the times have become so very bad that this sort of hippie nonsense no longer sickens me.
I've had this movie on my Tubi watchlist for about four years.
