Harry Simeone Chorale

Artist: Harry Simeone Chorale
LP: It's Alaska
Song: "Let's Go to Alaska"
[ listen ]
Song: "Otto Von Kotzebue"
[ listen ]
Song: "Remember Alaksa"
[ listen ]

For the past few years, it seems that everything we hear about Alaska has to do with the state's former governor and U.S. presidential hopeful Sarah Palin. But the 49th state is known for lots of other things too, and most of them aren't idiotic, embarrassing or retarded. Harry Simeone and his Chorale are here to remind you of some of those things. You can find the extensive "It's Alaska" LP liner notes below and read more about Harry Simeone on Wikipedia here. If you decide to take Harry's advice and head up to Alaska sometime soon, remember to dress in warm clothing like the young woman on the cover of this record—only don't forget to wear your pants.
