So much more grooving black plastic….
Finally some moody rap that takes us on a nostalgic beat: “snow in las vegas” by ELITHEGR8 (Elijah Lee). Playing vinyl is just one more symptom of the season.
Jolly R+B rap from James Barmore instructs one to produce “Hot Chocolate,” including the often discounted step–holidays classic vinyl hitting on the spin.
“Big Price” is the rap Luke Jenison (feat. Big Wy’s Brass Band)–set to some killa jazz/blues band–identifies what’s on the vinyl (Marvin Gaye). So let’s stay specific.
Give me all the sounds, bemoans C-SKY in her R+B pop “Sad Christmas” song. There IS something about playing records that whirl us into self reflected misery.
Alfie Jukes plays the radio and Frank Sinatra on vinyl for the most romantic party in town when it’s the “Second Christmas Day” he’s in love with you. Sweet, but needy indie.
Wanting a “Cowboy for Christmas.” Runaway June oddly eschews Gene for more Frank with some bopping jump blues honky tonk. Yee (haw).
Also spinning Frank on vinyl, Emma Klein gets trembly in her indie pop when she’s feeling how “Christmas Feels Different this Year.” Love does that.
Alysha Amerson goes full pop (still showtime) with her “Christmas Town.” This time it’s Buble on this vinyl. The WHOLE album? Oh, there’s also Mariah. Oh well.
“holiday vinyl” is John Cedrick picking up ’90s emo-rock to spin the ambience (Take your pick/Is it Britney or Mariah?) of the fireplace party.
“Another Sappy Xmas Love Song” features Dolly-like Maja Francis adding to the western oeuvre of being naughty (she scratched your favorite Elliot vinyl).
Loretta Lynn and Ricky spinning on vinyl cause some boot-scootin’ bluegrass for Anne Wilson’s “Kentucky Fried Christmas.” Grab your rafters, kids.
Better taste from Jessie T strikes up the Dean Martin while CW “Decorating that Tree.” Sadly, better listening does not equate into better composing.
Jesabel sets the “Christmas Mood” with Bing on vinyl. THAT’s whole lotta love better. Thank you. Fluttery, syncopated R+B.
