Dylan Christmas Album?
M. Rick
I know there's a bootleg out called "Humbug Blues." From what I've heard --
a brilliant blend of Dickens and the delta.

You mean 'Snow Over Interstate 80'?... For some reason, Dylan and
Sony won't release it... It might be against Dylan's religion... Or
his religion might be against him... or he might be against his
religion or something... It's very confusing...
Here are the background threads on it...

I love Christmas albums -- from traditional to punk/reggae. I collect
them and make my own mixed-up compilations. I also fill up discs with
mp3s that I play in the dvd player. I have about 80 hours worth of
Christmas music on those alone. I like the "talking" Christmas albums
too. This year I found a Dragnet Christmas story and an album with
readings by Ogden Nash. And who can ever forget Bob's reading of "The
Night Before Christmas"?
M. Rick
There's a song about lousy Christmas albums on Humbug Blues. And an awful
song it is.

Fortunately, however, the single of "White Christmas" (credited to Bob
& The Dylantones--not the earlier "Bobby the Poet" version from Cameo-
Parkway) did get released accidentally in 1984. Flip side was Bob
doing "Tracks of My Tears." Happily, you can download both sides at:
Babs
Thanks for these. Some of these mock-Dylans can be fun -- like Bob &
The Dylantones. And now I have one more Christmas song for my
collection! To make the afternoon complete, I will now watch the movie
"Waking The Dead", with Billy Crudup and Jennifer Connelly, for about
the 50th time. I kinda like it.

As far as liking Xmas music, to each his own. I get more than enough
in every store I walk into between Halloween and 12/25; I certainly
don't need to hear it at home or in the car. And Bob's reading of
'TNBC' is interesting if only for the curiosity value. i wouldn't call
it a Xmas song, though.
Bride of Hysterical Jumbo
Yeah but some Xmas songs--like most of the ones Bob plays on his Xmas
TTRH--you don't hear in shops, or anywhere. Like the Beatnik Christmas
number he played. And Santa Got a Brand New Bag by a young Bob Segar.
Great stuff.

NEVERtheless :) despite your positive opinion, I don't have the need
to hear any more Xmas music than I already do. With the possible
exception of the Singing Dogs doing 'Jingle Bells'.

There's some amusing stuff out there. One of my favorites is
I Farted on Santa's Lap (Now Christmas Is Gonna Stink For Me) -- The
Little Stinkers
The Beat songs/readings I like are:
The Junky's Christmas -- William S. Burroughs
Beatnik's Wish -- Patsy Raye & The Beatniks
Of the traditional non-religious ones, my favorite is Jimmy Durante
singing Frosty The Snowman
And I haven't tired yet of :
Fairytale of New York -- the Pogues
PS I don't like the Christmas music in the stores either, jbuck. I
don't like any music forced on me in that annoying manner.

I'm with you. I've reached the point that I wish Christmas were
relegated back to being just a religious holiday, and leave the
secular world completely out of it.
So call me a Scrooge.

First off i'd like to commend us all on the civility of tone in a
thread that cd've got nasty.
Second, i'd like to commend Right Worshipful Brother crazytimes for
doing our homework which calls on past threads to deBunk the "bob
christmas record" issue.
Third, i'd like to concur with Reverend Bro jbuck that most Xmas
albums suck, tho' i'd defy any of us to trashBin the Spector-calibre
sideArm album, and i do hold a few other recordings close to heart but
that falls into personal preference territory.
Fourth, i'd like to concur with Most Highly Esteemed Sister Babs that
we can inDeed compile our own "seasons greebings" collections
according to our either faith or desire, whichEver comes first.
Hence, here's a coupleFew not everyOne might have in their collection:

anyOne 'round hear.
She does not think they were Pfeffernüsse.

Charlie Brown Christmas Album worthy of any tree it may fall under.
You know who I am talking about: He's the Merry Christmas Baby guy on
keys (not the hapless cartoon character that confuses the kids all the
time...)
Also equally inner-resting is the Alligator Records X-mas compilation.
Lots of sardonics chasin' down those harmonics on that one too...

But according to Tom Petty, Bob did sing "White Christmas" at one of their
practice sessions. It was not recorded however. Also a few years ago he
was doing some Christmas carols at various soundchecks. We heard parts of
"Little Town of Bethlehem" from the lobby in Minneapolis and a friend heard
parts of "Adeste Fidelis" out East. Again, none of us were taping.
Looking at these old threads makes me miss people like Alan Fraser.

That's right.

That's them, bubba. Many thanks.
I know for sure because in the recipe i found the dough is made of
flour, butter and cream cheese, which had struck me as unusual for a
dough even tho' fat is fat.
To other posters suggesting sandbakkel & kifli, they sound delicious.
& mosey dog, you asked:
> Was your mom Swedish?
Ma is very much still with us, i saw her this past sunday; she no
longer bakes, hence the past tense "useta".
On her mother's side German; on her father's side, let's just say i
come from a long line of seamen.
(that is a play on words, which i will revisit soon and often).
Many thanks,
