Christmas time is here! It’s time to bust out the Christmas cds and annoy everyone with your holiday cheer. Here are a few of my favorite Christmas cds.

1. Diana Krall – Christmas Songs – If you’re into Jazz, maybe this isn’t for you. But if you’re into Diana Krall, this is a great cd.
2. James Taylor at Christmas – Sometimes I just feel like listening to music my hippie parents would listen to. Not nearly as sexy as Diana Krall, but nice and smooth anyway.
3. Harry Connick Jr. When My Heart Finds Christmas – I think this guy has several other Christmas albums. This is the only one I have or have listened to.
4. Gary Hoey Ho! Ho! Hoey: The Complete Collection – Rock and roll! This is Christmas music played on electric guitar. Maybe it’s a little cheesy. But isn’t all Christmas music a little cheesy. Christmas is a time for cheese.
5. Merry Axemas – A Guitar Christmas – This is another rocking cd with Satriani, Eric Johnson, Brian Setzer and other famous guitarists playing Christmas tunes.

Yep, my collection is small and doesn’t have all those annoying songs from Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Charlie Brown or any of those other people you’re supposed to enjoy listening to on Christmas.

Are there any other good Christmas cds I should be listening to?

…or buys America a Dr. Pepper.

Well it happened. The new Guns N Roses albums Chinese Democracy is finally finished and has been released and many people, including Dr. Pepper, didn’t think it would ever happen. The good doctor has promised to give everyone in America a free Dr. Pepper if the band released this album in 2008.

For 24 hours on Sunday you can go to drpepper.com to get a voucher for a free Dr. Pepper that can be used between now and February 28, 2009.

Head over to the Guns n Roses myspace page and listen to the album. This album has been in the making since 1994 and cost about $14 million to make. So what do you think? Was it worth the wait?
