Deke's Christmas Record Countdown #9: Have A Jewish Christmas! #whynot

Deke's Christmas Record Countdown #8: Merry Christmas from Santa at the North Pole!! Love, Exploitational Record Company Executives #Buythisrecordkids #christmassuckers

"Deke's Christmas Record Countdown" part 7...Harry The Hipster Digs Christmas!! A great jazz-boogie woogie experiment by 1940's swing icon Harry "The Hipster" Gibson. This came out at the end of his career, and Harry sounds completely insane and drug- ravaged, in the best way possible!! Best track: "I Wish My Mother In Law Don't Visit Us This Christmas!" #originalhipster #benzedrineyuletide #crazychristmas

Deke's Christmas Record Countdown #6....yes, after "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer," Elmo and Patsy got to make a whole album, and it only needs to be played once. (Trust me) #christmasnovelty

This guy wins the Christmas Overload award! Somewhere in there is a yard....and a house! #letsputthehoarderinchristmas #neighbors

Another great record I found today, file under "sick country novelty." Dude goes to prison, comes back to see his son, and the son tells him his dad is dead! "To shield my son, from wrong I've done, she told him Daddy's Dead." #tearjerker #sickcou try #45rpm #teasuretrove

Deke's Christmas Record Countdown #5: Charlie Pride's "Christmas In My Hometown." #countrychristmas #blacksanta #blackcountry #whynot #charliepriderules

I had an astounding record haul today at a random yard sale. By far the winner of the bunch is this 1960's Soul-Gospel 45 by Madame Nellie Robinson, "Mini-Your Dress Is Too Short" on Gospel Corner Records. Shouting at the top of her lungs, Madame Nellie cries out-- "MINI...YOUR DRESS IS TOO SHORT! TAKE THE HEM OUT....AND SERVE THE LORRRRDDD!!" It gets no better than this, my friends. Halleluliah!

Deke's Christmas Record Countdown #4: Loretta Lynn, "Country Christmas." Featuring the hits "To Heck With Old Santa Claus" and "Christmas Without Daddy." #rudolph #redneck #reindeer

Deke's Christmas Record Collection Countdown #3: Generic Christmas Disco Record. Because at some point, somebody had to make one. #discosucks #mostpopularmusicofalltime

Deke's Christmas Record Collection countdown #2: Phillips 66 presents Tijuana Christmas! Because really, nothing says Christmas like petroleum companies and faux-Mexican easy listening recorded by studio musicians in California. Hopefully at least one of the trumpet players was named Jesus...

Deke's Christmas Record Collection countdown: "Christmas In The Tropics" by the Dynamic All-Stars. Nice beard, "Santa." #hotelves

Glorious gray and rainy day here in Los Angeles. It only rains about 20 days a year here so I am enjoying the heck out of it. #raindropskeepfallingonmyhead #justliketheguywhosefeetaretoobigforhisbed

"A man is judged....by the awesomeness of his band's bass drum head."
