Nat King Cole
The best part about the holiday season is that I can pull out the Christmas albums for the next four weeks. Nat King Cole is no doubt my favorite, followed by Bing Crosby and (I will get in trouble for writing this) Johnny Mathis.
Nat's version of the Christmas song ranks up there with Frank Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight," Van Morrison's "Moondance" and The Beatles' "Twist and Shout" and the best recordings I have ever heard.
-I picked up two new Mystery Science Theater DVDs this week, just because I could. Over the past four years, nothing has made me laugh as consistently as a show I pretty much ignored during its run on Comedy Central.
