I love the Simpsons and during the Simpsons-mania of the early 90s, America’s favorite family released their first album, The SImpsons Sing the Blues.

Jerry Nelson, who you might know as the characters Floyd, The Count, and Gobo Fraggle, has released an album of original music, and it’s pretty awesome.

Christopher Lee, who you might remember as Saruman in the Lord of the Rings trilogy as well as countless other roles, has recorded a “metal concept album” about Charlemagne. I’m serious.

One Eskimo is a band from the UK that is making their debut in the states with a new concept, a visual album. It combines music and animation, and is pretty cool.

It’s a tragedy that none of the Beatles ever appeared on the Muppet Show, but luckily there are still many skits that feature the Muppets performing Beatles covers. They’re all here, and you’re welcome.

Well, this just sucks. The King of Pop, and the person I’ve always considered to be the most talented person on the planet died yesterday. This is the first celebrity death I’ve cared about in my life, and it’s hitting me pretty hard.

This album originally came out in 1979, as a soundtrack to a TV special of the same name, which supposedly really exists. It’s never been released on home video, and probably never will now that Disney owns the Muppets.

Some memories are best left alone. If I wasn’t so addicted to reliving the memories I have buried deep in my subconscious, Disney’s Mickey Unrapped could still be a great album. Heck, Animaniacs could still be hilarious. Unfortunately, my inner child can’t let that happen.
