Musicians don't do very many things the "normal" way. We even get the Christmas music out earlier than Wal-Mart, which is really saying something.
Why, you ask? Well, for one, we gots to rehearse. We got shows coming up. You don't want to hear "Rudolph" from people who forget Comet or Cupid or Blizzard or whatever, right? Also, do you think Christmas records get recorded in early December, when the frost nips at your nose while turkeys simmer in holiday juices?
Nope.
Your favorite Chipmunk Christmas record was done by dudes in shorts and t-shirts sipping 7-Ups. In August. Maybe June. These things take time.
But that's how we like it. Yup, for as much as I gripe about my neighbors (seriously, christmas lights already?), It's nice to see something wonderful coming down the road, and what's more wonderful than Christmas?
And whether it's normal or not, who cares - we're musicians. And we're looking forward to it.
