Bob Dylan’s Christmas album dropped recently.

Do You Hear What I hear? – I can’t really be sure….

My favorite video of 2008.

Looking for a last minute gift for someone who has an iPod, a car and lives in the countryside? I love the Griffin RoadTrip FM transmitter – it’s sleek, sexy, compact and works great provided you don’t do most of your driving in a major urban centre where there’s rarely a free band to broadcast over. Oh, and it also charges!

Also released today is the Brian Setzer Orchestra’s The Ultimate Christmas Collection. It’s an eclectic mix of old standards (The Nutcracker Suite, Angels we Have Heard on High), 50’s Christmas rock (Boogie Woogie Santa Claus, Dig That Crazy Santa Claus) and TV faourites (You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch), all of which hold up well to the ’Orchestra’s rockabilly treatment.
