This is Only the Tip of the Iceberg

I like Homer & Jethro. A lot. It took several years and lots of time and effort, but I finally managed to acquire a near complete discography that these two released under their own name. I'm only missing a few odds and ends and the full 1968 Christmas album that has all of these tracks and a couple of fresh recordings. (I'm not a fan of Christmas music. It hasn't been a priority.)



1. Santy Baby
2. The Night After Christmas

But you may ask does this mean for me, a gentile refined connoisseur of the many musical delights that pop up on this silly little blog on a (currently) weekly basis?


1. Nuttin' For Christmas
2. Santy's Movin' On

Well Bub, it means this. I mostly finished my discographical quest about four years ago and digitized it all and have mostly enjoyed it since. However, I've upgraded a few things and have improved my tech end since then and the Mp3's I made were at a lower bit rate than I currently prefer. The upshot of which that I'm currently planning on going through it all and doing it all over again.



1. (All I Want for Christmas is) My Upper Plate
2. I Saw Mommy Smoochin' Santa Claus
3. Randolph the Flat Nosed Reindeer
4. Frosty the Defrosted Snowman

And I'm fully planning on sharing the results right here. So over the course of the coming year there's going to be a large number of Homer & Jethro Posts. They're usually pretty funny too. It's been kind of my intention as of late to diversify my posts a bit more from a musical standpoint & it's my blog and I get to do whatever the hell I want. So nyah.
(Besides until Bear Family gets off their German duffs and does up the 16 cd boxset, this is kind of all that there might be.)
Now these Christmas tracks don't necessarily highlight some of their best work, but it's the season and as good a place to start as any. There's still plenty of Skinny Tie stuff in the boxes and some sweet 90's pop and I may even start digging into the largely ignored 60's garage/punk box too. So enjoy your Winter Solstice and let the games begin...
