Title: Minute 73 – It’s Christmas Eve, Isn’t It?
What’s up, dudes? This week I’m joined by Todd Killian from Christmas Clatter to talk the classic ’80s action flick “First Blood” and the follow-up Rambo cartoon! Yep! There was a cartoon with a Christmas episode and everything! Let’s not forget the film takes place at the happiest time of the year! All he wanted was something to eat! So enjoy this trip down memory lane and check out all things Rambo!

Ep 81 – Rambo & “First Blood” (w/ Todd Killian)
Welcome to episode 26 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I discuss “Summer Lounge,” the summer-themed 1987 compilation, produced by Masamichi Sugi.
Come on down to fabulous Summer Lounge, where cool summer breezes blow!
Right after I covered “Winter Lounge” back in November, my friend J-Canuck who runs the Kayo Kyoku Plus blog, posted the video for “Holiday Company,” and mentioned that it came from a follow-up album to “Winter Lounge.” Shortly after that, I started seeing copies of the 45 of “Holiday Company” for sale, but it wasn’t until months later that I finally started seeing copies of “Summer Lounge.” I wanted to get a copy, but I didn’t want to pay too much. After a few tries, I got a copy in my price range. As luck would have it, as soon as I won the auction, a copy of the CD showed up for sale. I’m satisfied with the vinyl, though.
“Summer Lounge” is a fun album and I wanted to work it in at some point. When I decided to start making August 80’s month, I figured this was as good a time as any. With the Olympics, school, and several other issues that came up, I fell way behind on the podcast and was worried that I wouldn’t get this out on time. Thankfully, I’m now all caught up. At least for the time being.
While I knew about the “Holiday Company” video, I wasn’t sure if any of the other songs had videos. I found fan-made videos for a few of them, but I was only able to find authentic videos for “The Hottest Summer in the World,” by Princess Princess. Check out both the official video and a TV performance below.
Holiday Company – Pops All Stars
The Hottest Summer in the World – Princess Princess:
One thing I like about these two albums is the artwork. While “Summer Lounge” doesn’t have quite as much as “Winter Lounge,” what’s there is nice. The cover is great and you have to love Santa. The inner sleeve also includes pictures of all the participating acts.
Thanks for listening, and I hope you’ve enjoyed this little summer break. I’ll be back next month with a couple 90s episodes. “Cool Christmas” from 1993 will arrive on the 25th. I’ll work in another episode at some point, although I haven’t finalized my schedule yet.
As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

Title: Episdoe 26 – Summer Lounge
What’s up, dudes? Author extraordinaire Jamie Kleman and I talk the Rankin/Bass classic “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”! Wait…that’s not ‘80s! No, but it was shown all throughout the ‘80s, so it counts! There are anthropomorphic mice who live in some sort of symbiotic relationship with their humans. There’s a healthy dose of skepticism and belief! So ignore Santa’s lack of a mustache, write a heartfelt letter to big guy, and listen to this episode!

Welcome to episode 25 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about Yen Records’ 1983 compilation, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”
This was the first Japanese Christmas compilation I heard, a full year or so before I started buying records. I was able to listen to it online and I was taken by how strange and non-Christmassy most of the songs sounded. I read a couple reviews that characterized it as both the epitome of 1980’s Japanese Christmas, and typical of the era. This album is anything but typical. As much as I enjoy it, I was both gladdened and relieved when I started listening to more music from the 80’s.
While “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” satisfies my occasional desire for experimental New Wave and Technopop Christmas music, I’m generally more drawn to City Pop, and more mainstream New Wave and Rock. I’ve managed to track down a wealth of songs and albums from a variety of genres, including some deep cuts, forgotten singles and B-sides. One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about all this is finding those songs that haven’t seen a release since they first appeared on vinyl. I’ll eventually be covering them here.
Thanks for listening, and I hope “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” helped to satisfy your 80’s cravings. I fell a little behind, but I should be back on track by the end of the month. Be sure to tune in toward the end of this month for some more 80’s goodness as I discuss Masamichi Sugi’s 1987 compilation, “Summer Lounge.” It’s not a Christmas album, but it is a follow-up to “Winter Lounge,” and I thought it would be a fun way to round out the summer.
As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

Christmas decorating could be a problem this year. Have you noticed how your local grocery store has no selection of bottled water? Believe it or not, the same thing causing a shortage of bottled water could affect Christmas decoration supply this year. It just another reality heading into our 2nd pandemic Christmas.
This episode of the Merry Little Podcast talks about how Christmas decorating will be different this year because of all the weird going on in the world. We reached out to experts at Bronners.com, the world’s largest Christmas store, to tell us what is going on and how everything to do with Christmas decorating will be affected.
While decking the halls will be different they will be decked. It is a tradition of antiquity. To that end we explore the history of “Deck the Halls” and explain why it wasn’t only just a holiday tradition back in the day but also why it is as much a party song as it is a carol.
Of course, we find joy in sharing the decorating of Christmas as well with our 16th Annual Ornament Exchange at the Merry Forums of MyMerryChristmas.com. Pandemic or no, we’re celebrating.
To that end, we invite you as well to explore more about Bronners with this great episode from our friends at the Sleigh Bells and Mistletoe Christmas Podcast, who talk with CEO Wayne Bronner about the story of the world’s biggest Christmas store.

The boys test out a new tradition by claiming August to be “A Long Way to Christmas”. Much like last year where they watched “Accepted” starring Justin Long for their August bonus episode, this year they are selecting another film from this actor’s illustrious career, “Herbie: Fully Loaded”. Have they stumbled upon a genius idea or are they embarking on a tradition that will only make that lengthy Christmas wait even longer?
Other topics discussed in this episode include: Jonah Hill, Steve Zahn, performance analysis, ways to make this movie better, bad cover music, dated product placements, and Brian’s new photography hobby.
