Apparently today is the day that kicks off the shitty x-mas album season. And only two weeks into October... PERFECT! It's going to be almost 100 degrees in Phoenix today! The perfect weather to listen to Brian Setzer and the Indigo Girls sing about baby Jesus and chestnuts on open fires! Fortunately (for you) I didn't include any of that crap in this weeks list and even MORE fortunately (for ALL of us) there is a TON of awesome albums coming out today that more than make up for this nonsense. There is so much stuff that I don't even know what half of it is, so please comment below and point out what is good and what sucks. Check out the list after the break and have a happy New Year!
