Hmm, this is a hard one for me. What all counts in the category of novelty? A Christmas record? A silly Zappa song? Picture disc? Any colored record? I don't have any funny shaped ones or chipmunks records yet.

Yeah, I don't have a funny shaped chipmunks, yet either. So I will probably go with the first definition below and play some unique music :)

I mean I support your freedom of speech and all but you are calling a racially related genre a "novelty"...


I am calling it a unique, new, and never before heard of type sound (at least by me). I like this record a lot, by the way. It honestly never crossed my mind that there was anything "racial" about this. Sorry you took it that way.



Edit #3: In science, we use the word "novel" all the time, indicating "new" or "unique." Novelty is a good thing.
