The Beatles' Christmas Album (U.S.) aka From Then to You (UK), was a 1970 compilation album of the Christmas records issued via the Beatles' Fan Club—and made available solely to members of their official fan clubs in the UK and the U.S. The Beatles' Christmas Album was issued as From Then to You in the UK by Apple Records (LYN 2154) and in the U.S. (SBC 100).
Each year from 1963 to 1969, the Beatles had recorded a short Christmas message for their fans, composed of carols, skits, jokes, and thanks to the loyal "Beatle People". Each recording was pressed onto a 7" flexi disc and mailed free to the British members of the Fan Club. In 1970, in the wake of the band's break-up, Apple released the compilation of all seven.

"The Red Room is a corner bar in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Harley Junior (a.k.a. "H" or "Nick") was kind enough to open it on a Sunday and give us the run of the place, so we moved aside the pool table, set up a P.A. and invited a few friends to drop by later that night.
Everything on this disk was played and recorded that day, February 1st, 2004, between 6pm and 2am closing time - just me, my guitar, my foot and harmonica, live with no overdub".

Parasites are an American pop-punk band. The band was formed in 1985 by guitarist and singer Dave Parasite (a.k.a. Nikki Parasite) and bassist Ron Nole in New Jersey. Dave later relocated to Berkeley, California, forming a new band with local players. The Parasites have had many personnel changes, with the most notable members being drummer Dan Cofer and his brother Scott Cofer, both formerly of the thrash-metal band Pillage Sunday. The band has been releasing records since 1987. After breaking up in 1998 and again 2003, the band released a Best Of compilation in 2006, entitled Retro-Pop Remasters (Best Of) on Go Kart Records. A new lineup of the band is currently touring and will be releasing an album of new material in February 2009.
Quote:
Originally released in 1997 as part of the Clearview Records Ramones cover LP series that included Screeching Weasel, The Vindictives, The Queers, The Mr. T Experience and Boris The Sprinkler among others, the Parasites "It's Alive" is now remastered and available on CD for the first time. The Parasites sang the words right off of the oddly translated lyric sheet that came with the original Japanese LP, giving this Ramones classic a hysterical new twist!
NOTE: This is not the double LP that most people are familiar with. The Parasites covered the Japanese version of It's Alive. This version was a single 20-tracks LP which also contained a lyric sheet with wrong (but very funny) lyrics. E.G. "Suzy is a headbanger, her mother is a Jew" (from Suzy Is A Headbanger) and "Flats in glass, Students in class, Mama's on the booze, Babies got the juice" (from We're A Happy Family). This lyric sheet is included with the Parasites album. Also, the Parasites sing all these incorrect lyrics which adds a new spin to these classic songs!
All songs were recorded live at 924 Gilman Street, December 31, 1996.
• Dave Parasite - guitars and vocals • Scott Cofer - bass and vocals • Dan Cofer - drums

It's been called the "missing link" of the "Ditch Trilogy".
Neil Young's 1973 Time Fades Away is one of the most remarkable live albums ever recorded. Certainly at the time of release, it was almost unprecedented for an artist to release a live concert recording of previously unreleased material. Long out of print on vinyl, still unavailable on CD in the early 21st century and widely bootlegged, the album is considered to be the "Holy Grail" of all Neil Young albums.

On "Berry'd Alive", Sacramento's own Groovie Ghoulies rips it up and lets it rock, in this tribute to the true King of Rock and Roll, Chuck Berry, covering some of Chuck's lesser known gems. This fun filled EP has plenty of teeth, passion, and enough rock and roll swagger, to remind us all why rock music is so good for the soul!
Quote from Wikipedia:
The Groovie Ghoulies were an American pop punk band formed in Sacramento, California whose music took inspiration from horror movies. They released numerous albums, EPs, and singles, and toured internationally. The band's name was taken from the 1970s animated television series Groovie Goolies, a spinoff of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (itself a spinoff of The Archie Show). Though the group's lineup fluctuated significantly throughout their career, bassist/vocalist Kepi remained a constant fixture. Guitarist Roach (and lead singer Kepi's wife) was also a longtime member. The Groovie Ghoulies' music is best classified as pop-punk and is heavily influenced by early punk groups such as the Ramones and The Dickies, 1960s garage rock and bubblegum artists such as The Troggs and The Monkees, and 1950s rock and roll artists such as Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis. Throughout their career the Groovie Ghoulies recorded cover versions of songs by several of these artists as well as other influences including Daniel Johnston and Neil Diamond.
The Groovie Ghoulies announced their break up on 9 May 2007, just days prior to the release of their ninth studio album 99 Lives via this letter to their fans:
Dear Ghoulie Family,
It is with deep regret and sorrow that we must inform you that we have parted ways as a band for personal reasons. We thank you for your tireless love and support over the years and encourage you to continue to support the bands we have played with in Sacramento and beyond. Unfortunately, we will not be able to respond to any messages sent to our MySpace account. We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time.
Again, we are deeply grateful for all the love you have shown us.
Love, the Ghoulies

The year of Hasil Adkins' birth is unknown. The date recorded in a missing family Bible (April 29,193?) will probably remain a mystery. Hasil is actually the subject of a good deal of conjecture and myth, much of which is surprisingly true.
Hasil (pronounced "Hassle") was the youngest of 10 children of coal miner Wid Adkins and natural singer Alice Hale. He was born into severe poverty in the backwoods of Boone County, West Virginia with the great depression in full bloom. His early memories included plenty of hunger and not getting his first pair of shoes till four or five years old. He was schooled for all of four days.
At a very early age Hasil thought that musicians, like Jimmie Rodgers, on the radio played all the instruments themselves. He set out to do the same. He started beating on a milk can. The sound of him banging on that milk can aggravated his daddy. He told Hasil, "Son, go beat that thing out there at the chimney corner." which is where Hasil would sit for hours every day beating out rhythms on his milk can. Hasil worked his way up from a milk can to a four pound lard bucket, then an eight pound lard bucket. When his mommy was gone he would turn her washtub and dish pan into instruments, making music from anything available and learning to be the greatest One Man Band that ever lived.
Hasil saw his first guitar at a neighbor's house. He would go watch the man play for hours on end, completely mesmerized by the sounds and studying what the man was doing. He would wait for hours and days until the grown ups got drunk enough to agree to let him touch the guitar. That is how Hasil Adkins first got his hands on a guitar as a young boy. He fashioned his own guitars out of barbed wire and water buckets and such. His parents recognized his gift and saw it as a way for their son to escape life in the coal mines. The family saved up and finally were able to buy him a guitar when he was a teenager.
Hasil traveled the country for years playing honky tonks and bars, sent tapes of himself to every record label imaginable, and had several near misses with fame. He never wavered from his style, staying true to himself and his vision, arguably, inventing punk rock along the way. Some of his early singles he actually cut at home making him the first diy bedroom band. For several years Hasil stopped touring in order to stay home and take care of his mother, still recording and sending tapes all the while. He started his own publishing company and record label A.R.C. Records. Later the Cramps helped turn Hasil into an underground phenomenon when they covered his song, "She Said."
Hasil released 16 albums and 21 singles in the United States along with several demos and European releases. He wrote over 7,000 songs and knew about 2,000 cover songs. His live performances were simultaneously chaotic, graceful, and mesmerizing. Occasionally, Hasil would bring a guest to play with him for a song or two but no one could really keep up with him. That's why he always remained a one man band. During one session with a band, a musician asked Hasil "In what time is the song?" Hasil's only response was a scream.
Hasil Adkins was not a novelty act. He liked his wild, "Halloween" songs but was most proud of his country songs through which he could express his deepest feelings that speech could not. He was very complex and could be raw and primitive at times but also very spiritual, unschooled yet brilliant, always joking but quite serious. Hasil was as authentic and genuine a person as ever walked the earth. If he felt like getting happy and destroying your drum kit, he did it. If he felt serious, sad, quiet, and lonely, he would sing about that. If he wanted to eat ten pounds of tomatoes in one sitting, ten pounds of tomatoes would be eaten. Whatever Hasil did he did with sincerity and with complete abandon.
On April 16, 2005, Hasil was intentionally run down by someone on an ATV he had never seen before while on his back porch. The kid then went down the road and ran down someone else for good measure. Hasil survived the incident, identified him from a picture, and said he hoped the kid would only do 5 years or so, learn his lesson and still have a chance to do right in the world. We lost him 10 days later.
Throughout the history of music there have been a few originals and many imitators. Hasil Adkins is certainly among the most original of them all. He was a rare individual who carved out a completely new road from the wilderness and then burned the ground behind him making it nearly impossible for anyone to truly follow.
God Bless Hasil Adkins, may he finally Rest in Peace!
