FIFTEEN WEIRD RECORD COVERS FROM THE VALUE VILLAGE THRIFT STORES IN WOODINVILLE AND KIRKLAND, WA.! PLUS EXTRA BONUS CRAP!

I needed to get OUT OF THE HOUSE for awhile this evening, so made a late jaunt to the thrifters, as I find this a supremely relaxing activity. Both stores were quiet, save for the one guy who was meticulously testing every single preset sound on an Yamaha keyboard. NERT NERT! ZIB ZIB! CRANG CRANG! While he did that, I found some more strange junk for you. Please to enjoy!

I want you just to think for a moment just how awful "country clarinet" must sound. Shudder. Also, the name "Pee Wee Spitelera" is not the best to bring in the chicks.

I think the morose blue dog at the bottom right wants nothing to do with "Welch's Mountain Fantasy."

Oh, check Jerry out here...hey, if I were involved with a guy who felt he had to impress people by standing in a mountain of ridiculously oversized diamonds, I might be a "Moody Woman," too. Get out of here, Jerry.

"Can't Slow Down," Lionel??? YOU ARE SITTING ON A CHAIR! LIES!

Nothing says "Paris" like indecent exposure.

I can guess just what's "so rare" in Dick's personal life.

Just a wee bit creepy.

Looks like a rollicking good time here.

Are there owls in Florida?? Anyway, it's easy to see why this one looks so angry -- I would be too if I had a big hole in my forehead.

I cannot decide if these snowmen are sad or drunk, or both. Also, as I typed the word, "snowmen" right now, a song playing in the background sang "snowmen," so I am now waiting for the Apocalypse. Dammit.

This jolly fool has yet to find a home just a couple days from Christmas, which is TOTALLY messing up the whole Dickens thing. I wish he were a lighter.

Someone at the store clearly has my sense of humor.

Ooh! Andrew wants you to look at his crazy balls!!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT'S CARL CARLTON.

I feel bad for this cartoon lion that he's gonna get his brain blown out by twin hunters. Also, what is a "Day Album?"

You can just tell the cover girl here is pretty high-maintenance. You just can.

Yes, when I think "mariachi" I definitely think "Hello Dolly."

What on earth would be on this record?? Avon Ladies ringing doorbells in time to "Jingle Bells?"

And finally, NO WORDS NEEDED.
