There has been a ton of news and, if it were in me, I'd be posting every day. But its just not. We're essentially down to a month before the domain expires. The website should remain, though. A good friend (because I never take candy from strangers) has offered to foot the bill to keep it up for at least a year. But me, I'll be outta here.
We have rumors, based upon an Instagram post, that Britney Spears may be working on a Christmas album. And Paul Kelly, the Australian artist who taught us all "How To Make Gravy" for Christmas is working on a full seasonal set for next year. It was 2016 when we introduced you to Melvin Seals of JGB. His Christmas album is finally coming to fruition...but not until next year. And while Melvin reminds us that we are forever dealing with product that is delayed or pushed back, the new Dave Koz Christmas album, which was scheduled to release October 11, snuck out on September 18 instead.
Idina Menzel is back with a second Christmas album (this time, she even included a couple of Hanukkah tunes). If you haven't already heard, the November 8th release of "Big Band Holidays II" (listed below attributed to Wynton Marsalis) will feature a previously unreleased live performance from Aretha Franklin. There's a Folky Winter themed set from Judy Collins coming on November 29. Fans of the 80s may be interested to know that the chief songwriter and keyboard artist for A-ha ("Take On Me"), Magne Furuholmen, has a Christmas album coming out on CD and vinyl October 25. Jazz veteran Gerald Albright is releasing his first full Christmas album October 11, though it looks to be strictly digital at this point (ironically, the cover features vinyl playing on a phonograph). I've been looking for some Blues, but I can get by with the kind of Blues Rock the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Stevie Ray Vaughn used to make and, to that end, I'll be looking forward to the Christmas album from Georgia's Joey Stuckey, which is expected to arrive this November. The Roots Rock/Americana band Taters are finishing up their Christmas album. When it arrives, you'll find it on Bandcamp (feel free to pick up last year's Christmas single there for free). And, for something completely different, New York rapper DMX is said to be preparing to drop "DMX-Mas" on an unsuspecting public this year (though the label is already warning it could be next year).
Also, and much to my personal surprise, 2019 is seeing the resurgence of a format I'd long considered all but dead...the CD single. I haven't figured out how to (or whether to) list them in the Not The List as I've run out of colors and, anyway, they seem to be songs that have been available digitally in the past...and I like to focus on the new stuff.
How do you make "Jingle Bells" a sad song? Observe. Just released.

Further updates to Not The List below, but first... I love Christmas compilations. I just do. Even when I have all the songs already, it's just cool to be able to pick up one disc rather than ten.
For anyone who doesn't know, Lux Interior and Poison Ivy (Lux & Ivy) formed that great Garage Punk band The Cramps. But long before that, Lux & Ivy were collectors of obscure vintage vinyl. In fact, that's what drew the couple together in the first place. I mean, their record collection is just sick. Many years ago, a Cramps fan (and member of a different Rock group) began compiling collections of any singles Lux & Ivy ever mentioned in interviews on radio, TV, and in print. "Lux & Ivy's Favorites" was one of those joys that made the rounds on the Internets in the golden age of sharity. There were at least 17 volumes of the stuff.
Anything that's popular will eventually get the attention of the Powers That Be and "Lux & Ivy's Favorites" did. That's why, this year, we have two official collections featuring the Lux name for your enjoyment...one for Halloween and one for Christmas. I've consciously avoided Halloween music this year, but feel free to pick up "Trick or Treat: Vintage 45s From Lux & Ivy's Haunted Basement" when it's released October 25.
But we're all about the Christmas, here, and "Merry Luxmas" will arrive on November 22 with 31 tracks of holiday goodness. I've scanned the tracklist and I do have everything here, personally (except for "Eskimo Pie", which I don't consider a seasonal song). But I do love Christmas compilations and, besides, there are liner notes from MOJO Magazine's Dave Henderson, which I'm guessing will be quite informative.
