6. GOOD VIBRATIONS by The Beach Boys

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Carl Wilson on Dec 21st (1946)

7. Lulu by Lou Reed / Metallica
DISAPPOINTMENT #1: Intolerably bad.

8. LECH MICH IM ARSCH by Jack White / Insane Clown Posse

DISAPPOINTMENT #2: The collaboration no one wanted to see or hear. ICP rapping over Mozart. The only rational response is... "This is a joke, right? Right!?!?"

9. THE KING OF LIMBS by Radiohead

DISAPPOINTMENT #3: Not as bad as #1 and #2 but, Radiohead are better than this. The first track is unlistenable. Should have been an EP and/or Thom Yorke's 2nd solo LP.

10. BEAUTIFUL by Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello covers Christina Aguilara, from the compilation LP, House M.D. Original Television Soundtrack.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Christina on Dec 18th

11. MRS ROBINSON by Frank Sinatra

The Simon & Garfunkle hit gets a re-write from Frank, taking out the lines,  "Jesus loves you", Coo Coo Ca Choo, Joe Dimagio and adding a new verse referencing the plot of the film. From Frank's 1969 Long Player, My Way.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Frank on Dec 12th (1915)

Then one fine morning, She puts on an LA Station

You know, she don't believe what she heard at all,

She started shakin' to that fine fine music

You know her life was saved by Rock ‘n’ Roll.
