It’s Christmas y’all! Please have a merry one! Love, Dr. Rhino xoxo ABOUT DR. RHINO A young Dr. Rhino first encountered the magic of song whilst being born in the front seat of a Lincoln Continental. As the attending physician recalls, the tune was “Touch Me In The Morning” by Diana Ross. It was a mind-blower. Over the years, Dr. Rhino listened to many, many more songs. And, after several summers of diggin’ music, making the scene & a stint in Attica, the good doctor joined Rhino Records. A remarkable career of taste & empathy ensued.

As we continue to revisit Rhino collections from Christmas past, we must tip our Santa hat to Barry Hansen, aka Dr. Demento, for curating some of the craziest holiday discs ever. His aptly titled THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS NOVELTY CD OF ALL TIME leads off with The Chipmunks, and we'll give Alvin, Simon and Theodore the pole position here, too. The brainchild of Ross Bagdasarian, Sr., who'd had a previous speeded-up-vocal hit with “Witch Doctor,” “The Christmas Song” hit the chart in late 1958, spending weeks at No.1. The three lovable rodents have since become a media empire, with a TV series and

Drop the blinds, fire up the incense, decorate a lamp and jog in place. This is Dr. Rhino’s prescription for a swingin’ constitution. And, this week’s playlist is the perfect companion for the aforementioned inanities. Fight for your dreams! ABOUT DR.

Dr. Rhino’s Picks is 39...and holding! Thank you for sending me an angel, Dean. Me and my baby, that London lady, received a wonderful letter from America. However, it elicited no sympathy, while advising that you must enjoy yourself (it’s later than you think). Still...up on the hill, you can dance your rock and roll and the hippy hippy shake, to the fading echoes of “Let’s Spend The Night Together.” ABOUT DR.

Dr. Rhino’s Picks #38 and the word is out that we’re feeling great! Not yet Thanksgiving, not yet Christmas, Halloween’s gone and it won’t hardly miss us. So, here are some songs for no particular reason, to help you enjoy a slight lull in the season. (That right there is poetry, that is!) ABOUT DR.

Welcome to the Daylight Savings edition of Dr. Rhino’s Picks! Despite being a loose concept in every sense of the word, this playlist whips a puma’s ass. It will also help you come to terms with the hour of daylight that has been recently torn from our grasp. So, let’s put some stank on it with the likes of Metallica, Peter, Paul and Mary, Tim Buckley and The Smiths. Courage! ABOUT DR.

Over the last couple days, I’ve regained a real appreciation for how important Lou Reed’s music & poetry is to me. Here are some of my favorite selections from his deep and prodigious body of work. “And just remember, different people have peculiar tastes.” -Dr. Rhino ABOUT DR.

The Cure is here! They are ‘gear’, and ‘fab’, and all of the other pimply hyperboles. Robert Smith and co. have been navigating the post-punk/goth/pop waters over the years, but ultimately defy categorization. In tribute, Dr. Rhino has selected some of his faves from the Crawley natives for Picks #35. So put on some make up and listen in, you heartbreakers! ABOUT DR.
