One thought on “Random music news for Saturday, July 9, 2022

  • Disagree on Christmas albums. Not only do I love Christmas music and look forward to new releases every year, but these announcements mean we’re one step closer to being done with the worst season of the year (with its high temperatures and crowds everywhere thanks to school being out of session) and closer to the good seasons!
