Still done, but I've this public service to perform. While there is no doubt that many great surprises still await--many we won't learn of until mid-December--the fact is that people who are preparing annual holiday mixes are running out of time. Generally speaking, most Christmas compers try to have a finished product by the first week in December, but nobody starts their project in the first week of December. Most have been working on them for months and are right now making their final adjustments. As it is, it pisses me off that I have to wait for next week to get access to Molly Burch and Joe Stilgoe. For me, Robbie Williams, Good Lovelies, Michelle Malone, Hamilton Loomis, Cats In Space....they'll all have to wait until next year as they're releasing too late (for me). So check the OK, So It's Kinda The List and check it twice. You don't want to miss something that's just what you've been looking for (and we've added quite a few digital releases, even going back to ones we missed in earlier months). And collectors might find some exclusives from unusual places (like Urban Outfitters). Happy, as well, to direct you to physical copies of things Amazon may only offer in digital format. It's not complete. The List has never been complete. But this year, more than others, there is a boatload of crap I can't even pretend to be interested in (and some of it is probably good, too). I do regret that I'm not going to be around to do singles for you. It won't help you none, but click on the artwork to the right for a nice one...that sadly won't be released until December (sigh).
