Tis The Season

Coldplay's album, Mylo Xyloto is finally available after being available only for pre-order for what seems like forever. "Princess of China," the song featuring Rihanna is #5 on iTunes. I'm going to be honest, I disagree. Nothing overwhelmed me about this song. I think it was a desperate attempt for Coldplay to be one of the many memorable collaborations. But they don't need to do collaborations--they're Coldplay for Christ's sake.

Michael Buble released a Christmas album, Christmas. Hopefully this outshines Justin Bieber's Christmas album.

Korn's new album, The Path of Totality, is expected to be released December 6th. Looking at the lineup of songs, every song features another artist, mostly Skrillex like their single "Get Up."

In other music news, there are many artists starting up their own wines. One I recently discovered is The Dreaming Tree, a collaboration involving Dave Matthews. Caduceus Cellars produces Merkin wine, started by Maynard James Keenan from Tool and APC.

And, since Halloween is coming up, I wanted to share a few of my per snap favorite Halloween-related songs. If you are struggling with music ideas, these might help:

"Zombie" by The Cranberries
"Monster" by Kanye West
"Dig Up Her Bones" by The Misfits
"Gorgeous Frankenstein" by Gorgeous Frankenstein
"This is Halloween" by Marilyn Manson
"Lady Lucifera" by Danzig
"Zombie" by Natalia Kills
"Monster" Lady GaGa
"Hello Zepp" by Charlie Clouser
"Eat You Alive" by Limp Bizkit
"She Wolf" by Shakira
"Afterlife" by Avenged Sevenfold
"Dragula" Rob Zombie
"Scream!" by The Misfits
"If I Was Your Vampire" by Marilyn Manson
"See You In My Nightmare" by Kanye West ft. Lil Wayne

Note that "Monster Mash" and "Thriller" are not included. I am actually not a fan of either song. Both are very overplayed around the holidays. So here are some you may not have thought of.
