Tough times call for comic relief. This feature was a staple on Wednesdays for many years. It returns to its roots with two repeats rolled into one. I’m a lapsed baseball fan, so let’s call it a doubleheader guaranteed to double your weird Christmas album cover pleasure or some such shit.

It’s time for some zany, kooky, and downright weird seasonal album covers. The abundance of kitsch is one of the things I like about Christmas.
Our first combination could be called Hung and the Hamster, which sounds like one of the worst bands ever assembled. It’s whatever the opposite of a super-band is called. A stupor band?
Our second pairing features young men doing weird stuff.
Finally, two artists you’ve actually heard of. It’s something of a cheat because they’re single covers but how could I pass on AC/DC and the Kinks?
Are you ready to rock?
It’s time for the second game in our weird Christmas album cover doubleheader. The post was originally called More Weird Christmas Albums.

The holidays are full of ritual and repetition so I thought I should show some holiday spirit, The world is full of weird Christmas album covers; it’s my duty to share them with you. Did I just say duty? I meant pleasure.
To prove that I’m committed to the ritualistic nature of this post, I’m sticking with the side-by-side cover format from last week.
Let’s party like it’s 1976:
Let’s get even more retro with these album covers:
Finally, let’s celebrate the recent trade deal with our neighbors to the north and south:
That last cover makes me want to put on a fake mustache and party like Pancho Villa.
