A Robert Zimmerman Christmas?

I just got off the phone with the sister, and she informed me that Bob Dylan has a Christmas album coming out next week. How the heck did I miss this? "A Hard Snow's A-Gonna Fall," perhaps? Or how about "I Dreamed I Saw St. Nicholas"? "Stuck Inside the North Pole With the Memphis Blues Again"? "Tangled Up In Tinsel"? But seriously folks, apparently it's a proceeds-go-to-charity thing and actually and truly consists of his renditions of classic Christmas tunes. Very strange, but I can't wait to hear it.

Speaking of music, I fell in love with a new song today and ended up looping it and listening to it over and over while I worked on some stuff. It's from a group called ZONE: a four member, all-girl, basic set-up (two guitars, a bass, and drums) band from Japan (duh), who were active from 2001 to 2005 before they disbanded for some reason. I was thinking today that it was about a month ago that Oasis broke up, but since then I have discovered two groups that have become new favorites, one being ZONE and the other being The Gazette, which I mentioned in a post sometime last month...September 3rd...with a video of their goosebump-inducing song "Cassis." This is ZONE's single "Secret Base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~" and is equally goosebump-inducing:
