Mini-Episode! Ebenezer Scrooge, The Grinch, and Brandon Murray. What do these three have in common? Listen to this bonus episode and find out what trap we lured you into with our requests for voicemails. We, for some reason, challenge your favs, least favs, and hot takes, further discouraging our listeners to call in and/or have an opinion other than our own. We also discuss such eternal Christmas topics as Bing Crosby's last words, fictional (?) music, and radio relevancy in 2020. How many listeners can we lose in one mini-episode? Anyway, we love those that called in, truly, and appreciate the dedication of our listenership from around the world. This podcast has been a boon to our 2020 and we look forward to discussing the remaining 990 albums with you in future episodes. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/latetotheparty1989/message…

"Oh, baby please come home." - "A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector” 1:26:57

There are over 500 recorded versions of “White Christmas” out there. How do we determine which is the definitive version and how do we separate it from nostalgia...or does nostalgia need Christmas like Phil Spector needs The Wrecking Crew? Another album featuring the famed Wrecking Crew? Brandon and David employ the assistance of their better halves to answer these questions and offer their own favs/least favs and even some hot takes. Home Alone > Home Alone 2 is obvious, but detractors will not go quietly. Also, truly, honestly, is there any OTTO MVP on this album other than the illustrious Darlene Love? Listen to this episode while decorating your tree or drinking heavily to prep for a covid Christmas as Phil Spector rots in prison and ask yourself: Are we truly living in a marshmallow world? Album #37, “A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector”. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/latetotheparty1989/message…

"I like the peace in the backseat" - Arcade Fire's "Funeral" 1:12:47

What is post-emo? or evolutionary hipsterdom? Bravid praises this melancholic debut album from the brightest thing to come out of Canada since the lightbulb (look it up). This group sure does punch above its weight: arena shows, network specials, touring with Bowie, Album of the Year recipients. Operatic sounds with coming-of-age themes make this a quintessential album for the 21st century. Hear Brandon gush like Bono over "Wake Up" and "see" David dig through his music archives and fawn over the product design of the CD version-- remember those? Tune in as we break down album #953 , Arcade Fire's "Funeral". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/latetotheparty1989/message…

The Lovable Literature Teachers explore A Tribe Called Quest's anti-sophomore slump album, "The Low End Theory," in the latest episode of Late to the Party. Maybe inspired by the lyricism of Q-Tip, the duo gets abstract and grapples with the Busta problem while also celebrating Phife Dawg's rise. Needless to say, this episode is smooth like butter. #697 on the list of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/latetotheparty1989/message…

You know Bobby Keys, right? Don't we all know Bobby Keys? Am I the only one who doesn't know Bobby Keys? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/latetotheparty1989/message…
