So now that everybody else (Christmas A Go Go, Mistletunes, etc.) is back from summer vacation, I can take the rest of the year off, right? What do you mean, "No"? Grinch!
Well, Christmas is a-bustin out all over, right now. Katy Perry just released a Christmas single, "Cozy Little Christmas" (even though she STILL hasn't released the Christmas song she did for that commercial years ago). Shania Twain said, earlier this week, she's decided to do a Christmas album (I'm not getting too excited...she's been saying that for nearly 20 years, although she did say it on television this time). We finally got that new Christmas album from John McDermott ("Maybe This Christmas").
And Tyler The Creator has released a Grinch inspired EP of Christmas tunes. Tyler, of course, placed two songs (including one original) on the Grinch soundtrack. And you should know that neither of those is on "Music Inspired By Illumination & Dr. Seuss' The Grinch". So far, Tyler's EP isn't on Amazon (some of us can't get iTunes, you know--or Spotify; not won't...can't), so I can't tell you much about it, personally. [Update: While I was sleeping, Amazon added this. Yay!] The track list times look pretty brief (the longest track is just 2:29) and some of it is said to be instrumental music he was working on for the film. But the track Tyler uploaded to YouTube, "Lights On" featuring Santigold and Ryan Beatty, is undeniably brilliant. Tyler got so much Grinch in his step, these days, he even released a pair of fuzzy Grinch-inspired kicks via his Golf Wang fashion line. None of the pictures I've seen show it clearly, but they supposedly have menacing Grinch eyes on the heels. Just sayin'.
