P.K. & The Sound Explosion - Christmas Disco - 1977



This record sounds exactly like what you would think a record with this title would sound like. Super cheese ball sanitized studio disco set to Christmas tunes. It's got all the favorites with a disco twist.

I'll have to admit that you have to have a certain penchant for this kind of thing to appreciate it. I don't think even I could sit down and listen to the record from start to finish and feel good about myself, but it is nice to have the songs in a big ipod playlist. When put on random, they do provide little surprise spots of spice and flavor that do work out great.

If I can point to one interesting song on the record it would be "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" which basically rips of the "Louie Louie Riff" and puts it under "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". That is a pretty amazing feat that you don't hear everyday. Nice job.

Enjoy!

Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (single edit version) - disco one-hit wonder of 1979

Image
This kid starts schooling in the second part of “Another Brick in the Wall.” His pain does not end there. In school, he is forced to believe, think, and do to a set criteria. There is no crossing the lanes. There is no free thinking. Everyone becomes emotionless humonoids at the end of this ‘production line.’ The worst part of his schooling is the mental and physical abuse the children have to suffer. The teachers are portrayed in a very dark and cynical light in this song, where they are seen getting pleasure out of emotionally degrading and punishing the kids. In the movie ‘The Wall,’ we are shown a scene where the teacher catches this kid composing a poem. Instead of complimenting him, the teacher goes on to mock the kid and emotionally scar him. An even worse aspect of this is that Pink Floyd reveals us that this behaviour of teachers is something born in their homes. In the song “The Happiest Days of Our Lives,” a mockery on the schooling days consisting of a similar theme to “Ano...

The Manhattan Transfer - Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone (1979) - Discotheque Version

Barry from Sauquoit, Ny once said: On March 1st 1980, the Manhattan Transfer performed "Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'... One month later on April 13th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #84; and on June 8th it peaked at #30 (for 2 weeks) and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #25 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart... Jay Graydon produced the Extensions album and wrote this song with Alan Paul of The Manhattan Transfer. The song was inspired by the famous TV show. Says Graydon: "Channel 5 in L.A. would play Twilight Zones every night. I loved it when I was a kid, and watching the stuff, I was thinking, what would it be like to take the Twilight Zone theme and turn it into another song? There were three different intros to The Twilight Zone over the years. There was an original, and then they changed it twice. Well, it was right in the beginning of VHS video home recorders, so I recorde...
