A Surf and Monster Mash: "It's Monster Surfing Time" Returns!
What happens when monsters meet rock-and-roll? Vee-Jay Records answered that question in 1964 with the release of the fiendishly fun It's Monster Surfing Time.

Breathe Me: Sia's "Colour the Small One" Gets Vinyl Debut
Before Sia hit it big, both as a pop songwriter for Rihanna, Beyonce and Britney Spears and an enormous-voiced singer of tunes like "Titanium," "Chandelier" and recent hit "Alive," she was a quirky, tuneful indie-pop artist whose albums became critical darlings if not commercial successes. One such project, her third album Colour the Small One, is being reissued this spring, as both a digital expanded edition and, for the first time, a vinyl offering. Colour the Small One was, upon release in
