Anybody heard any good Christmas albums lately? This one looks interesting. I saw a review of it in our local paper, and I think I might like it. No new songs, just Krall, her piano and a jazz orchestra on standards. Oh, I just noticed it's #2 in sales at Amazon music. The bandwagon is leaving town.

My great find this year was a re-issue of the classic ZE Christmas Album from the early '80s, which I've been searching for on CD for years. The Waitresses, Was/Not Was, Suicide, Material, Cristina, James White & the Blacks...great stuff.

Ah, here it is.

He has now stopped the Christmas Light extravaganza.
