    I working cartridge of an SNES classic at a great price. A little dirtier than I would have preferred, but nothing that some Q-Tips and isopropyl alcohol won't fix. Shipped very securely, I was impressed by how bulky the packaging was! Would definitely, happily do business with this seller again.

Great Sound Quality, but Low on Good Humor
I'm a pretty big fan of "Family Guy". I also really like "The Simpsons" and "South Park", the predecessors to which "Family Guy" owes a lot of credit. The latter two shows not only have a great legacy, but they also have released high quality albums which have greatly contributed to their catalogue almost as if these albums were "special episodes". "Family Guy" released this album not long after their show was put back on Fox by popular demand, but unfortunately, I didn't find this album as funny as the show. Seth McFarland has a undeniably noticeable soft spot for showtunes and Broadway musical numbers which is evident in his show, despite the unexpected raunchiness and smart, but politically incorrect, humor of the series. His biggest fans can recount Stewie and Brian singing "Rhode Island Bound" while taking a train home, the duo's dueting with special guest Frank Sinatra, Jr., or Peter singing a Music Man number in its entirety after scoring a touchdown for the New England Patriots (much to Tom Brady's chagrin). These musical numbers can be funny at times, but the novelty really wears off after one minute of the song. After that, the song's inclusion appears to be a desperate attempt to cover up the fact that more material should have been written for the episode. This soundtrack seems to have the same effect. While some songs are hilarious (i.e. "All Cartoons are F**king D*cks", "Good Boy", and the TV show medley), other songs make you feel like "Okay, when is this song going to end?" The prime example is Peter Griffen's ode to Lois, "But I'm Yours". That song doesn't even try to be funny, true, but as a result it comes off as incredibly sappy. It gets stuck in your head in a bad way. Sames goes for the extended "Family Guy" theme, although it is admittedly funny to hear Peter lament about "Justin Timber-Homo" (his words, not mine). Seth McFarland singing solo as Brian the Dog is indeed impressive for singing talent alone, but any listeners who hear these tracks and expect witty humor and Brian's usual ironic dose of reality will be sorely disappointed. Brian really should have had more cocktails Another downside of this album: Stewie's gut-bustingly funny rap (in lieu of Bart Simpson's "Do The Bartman" or Dinosaur Baby Sinclair's "I'm The Baby") isn't actually included with the audio portion of the CD. Granted the song would sound awkward in the middle of a live Rat Pack-esque setting, but they could have at least included the song in a hidden track. If it wasn't for iTunes, listeners would never be able to hear the track without the accompaniment of its music video. It's not a bad album by any means, though. The sound quality makes it sound as though the family is recording live in Vegas, and the cameos are as impressive as they are random. However, the album doesn't live up to the Simpsons when they sang the Blues in 1991, or when South Park held "Chef Aid" in 1998. Diehard fans may enjoy this album, but I can't help but wave my flat hand to the left and right.

Great Halloween Music
This soundtrack is primarily composed of music by Danny Elfman, and it fits so well into the atmosphere of "Beetlejuice" that it could have easily been another character in the movie. Of course, Elfman has since collaborated with director Tim Burton in nearly every movie he has directed since "Beetlejuice", and it's not hard to know why after listening to this CD. Of course, since the CD was released in 1988, one would expect that the sound quality would be weaker. For the Harry Belafonte songs which compromise the only familiar songs on the soundtrack, let alone the only songs with words, the answer is yes. Even though Belafonte's calypso classics are still as catchy and as upbeat as they have always been, I found myself turning up the volume knob on my CD player to hear those songs, especially "Day-O". However, Elfman's music comes in crystal clear, probably because it was digitally recorded at the time of its released. Belafonte's timeless classics were no doubt taken from his analog tapes, and were not given the precise digital remastering they probably needed. Above all though, the soundtrack makes some great neo-classical music that may even turn punk and hard rock fans onto music without words. If you're a Tim Burton fan, and you're looking for Halloween music to really set the mood, the soundtrack to "Beetlejuice" is your sure bet. I know it's definitely a proud member of my CD collection.

Very Cool Compilation CD: Bad in a Good Way
Without Rhino Records, the music industry would really be doomed. Not only is Rhino Records the primary source to get original recordings that sound pristine, but they also can dig up novelty songs that can be forgotten over time and revive them for more years to come. The Dr. Demento albums are certainly no exception to this rule, and neither are the Golden Throats series. Golden Throats 4 is the fourth installment to the series, and given the state of CD sales so far this century, it may be the last installment. The sub-title of this album is "Celebrity Butcher (Songs of) The Beatles", but the biggest surprise is that some of the songs aren't so bad. They're not great, but some aren't too bad. I particularly liked George Burns' rendition or "With A Little Help From My Friends", Joe Pesci's version of "Got To Get You Into My Life", and Alan Copeland's "Norwegian Wood" set to the Mission: Impossible theme song. The latter song even won a Grammy back in the day, so apparently I'm not the only one to think so. That's not to say, however, that most of the other songs aren't terrible. Mae West's take on "Day-Tripper" is sung horribly, and William Shatner's "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is just flat out bad. Bing Crosby's "Hey Jude" is also another understandable disappointment, and this is from the artist who is the third best selling of all time (behind Elvis and [guess who] The Beatles). But this is what makes the album great in a lot of ways: there is a mix of good and bad artists that flows very well. Plus, half of the celebrities on the album have faded out of public recognition, and members of Generation X & Y may not recognize their names. Fortunately, the great part about CDs is that they include a detailed booklet with information on all the stars listed. The commentary on the songs was also ingenius. If you can find a copy of this CD (and it took me a while personally), definitely buy it because it's a fun CD to listen to.
