RECORD SHOPS IN THE MOVIES: "GOOD SAM" STARRING GARY COOPER

This is just what it's like in our record shop at Christmas!

Gary Cooper plays a department store manager who takes in a suicidal record store clerk in 1948's "Good Sam", directed by Leo McCarey. In this scene Joan Lorring sings along to the latest hit record while Gary Cooper swings along. In the background we see some current records and an ad for the great Duke Ellington.

XMAS COUNTDOWN IV: "JUST A SAD XMAS" BY THE SOUL DUO

There are four more more days to Xmas and since it was the worst year ever we're counting down the 10 most depressing holiday tunes of all time! Today it's "Just a Sad Xmas" by the Soul Duo from 1969. The Soul Duo was comprised of R&B diva Little Ida (Ida Sands aka "The Queen of Song") and Little Daddy Joe Webster, cut for Ida's home label Shiptown. A beautiful melancholy soul duet!

XMAS COUNTDOWN V: "NO CHRISTMAS IN KENTUCKY" BY PHIL OCHS

There are five more more days to Xmas and since it was the worst year ever we're counting down the 10 most depressing holiday tunes of all time! Today it's "No Christmas in Kentucky" by revolutionary and folk-rock giant Phil Ochs. The song was written after a trip to Hazard County, Kentucky in support of a miners' strike in 1963. Ochs performs at church rallies to raise money for the miners’ movement alongside other folk luminaries like Dylan and Joan Baez and spent his Christmas there with other New York students and organizers. It's a brutal protest song with a no-bullshit attitude. Ochs would have been 80  years old today if he hadn't hung himself in 1976!

XMAS COUNTDOWN VI: "ANOTHER LONELY CHRISTMAS" BY PRINCE

There are nine more more days to Xmas and since it was the worst year ever we're counting down the 10 most depressing holiday tunes of all time! Today it's Black Merda's "Reality" from the Detroit funk-rockers' obscure self-titled debut, a dark minor-key reflection on the political and philosophical issues of the day facing Black communities in the U.S. and elsewhere. Not much has changed! Is it a Christmas song? You be the judge!

"Yes you were brought up in the Christmas spirit/

You couldn't hardly wait for the days to near it/

And you think your country is a great democracy/

Well they just killed your priest for helping folks like me..."
