Cody Lovaas - Still A Rising Star

A while back I wrote about the very talented Cody Lovaas, and that he was a rising star. After last weeks post about music stars of today having a decent head on their shoulders, I decided to look him up on YouTube.

His new, original songs seem to be as good as anything else out there, if not better, so I am surprised that he isn't getting more attention:

Dolly & Elvis at Xmas

Oh Jumblerant you silly sausage, how did you get all discombobulated like this?

It started off all simple and easy. I thought I'd segway nicely from the Hanukkah post to a Christmas post leaving everyone feeling warm and fuzzy.

First step was to link to Now That's Nifty and his post called 'Your Own Personal Holiday Juke Box'. Over 40 of the top Christmas songs around. Simple enough. I made the mistake of choosing Dolly Parton's rendition of Hard Rock Candy Christmas. I was very disappointed in my beautiful singer's dulcet tones.

Fine. I'll listen to The King whilst surfing the interweb. No-one can beat The King, right? DOH!! As I glide through Google Reader I start reading Mental_Floss (where knowledge junkies get their fix) and they're knocking the very album I'm listening to!

Their number 1 Controversial Christmas Carol is Elvis Presley's Christmas Carol. Luckily not because becasue of the singing or a re-do of the words but because in 1957 DJs were still 'challenged' by Rock 'n' Roll.

So here we are, back to the 'reason d'etre' of this blog;
