Some of my holiday favorites from Kenny Bloggins to you and yours…
I was turned on to the made-for-TV Star Wars Holiday Special a couple of years ago, and always make a point to watch it around the holidays. It is truly strange, advanced, psychedelic. A long time ago in a galaxy far away, Wookies celebrate Life Day. And Life Day kicks ass.
To me, Aaron Neville and Christmas are synonymous. To celebrate the Reason for the Season, I’ve been posting myriad Neville videos for my Facebook friends to enjoy, including this one featuring a photo of some cats and shizz set to A-ronz, and an insane, brain-burnin’ duet between Ernie (sans Bert) and Aaron “Tha Block is Hott” Neville doing a concept number discussing why living on the Moon would not be righteous whatsoever. Aaron “Motherfuckin’” Neville never ceases to make me feel stoned. This is my favorite, though. Bow down to a true pimp.
Undoubtedly a classic, androgynous David Bowie and Greatest Generation favorite Bing Crosby yuck it up, hang tough, drank nog,and talk about what the kids are listenin’ to. I genuinely love this duet, though, but it’s still insane to consider that someone thought “dude, let’s get Bowie and Bing Crosby together.”
And finally… oh boy, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, as annotated by Mystery Science Theater 3000. It’s only a segment, but you can follow the embedded links to keep viewing…
Alright, have a good holiday everyone. Lana says she’s getting me a pizza for DMX-mas. Stoked.
