THEY'RE TOO MUCH: Heat Miser and Snow Miser, natch. SEASON of the LIST: I Love Music has reprinted NME's Top 50 Albums and Songs. NPR's All Songs Considered is streaming songs from the Top 10 Albums in the show's online listener's poll. NPR is also streaming songs from World Cafe's Top 10 CDs of 2006. WILCO: Wondering what might be on the band's next album? How about the previously unreleased songs they have been playing on tour. And y'know the band doesn't mind those unofficial downloads, so no killing music is involved. OF MONTREAL is offering a free download of a B-side at Pichfork and streaming a track from an EP due in January. THE KILLERS' Christmas single, "A Great Big Sled," came out Tuersday, and it's not bad. If you like the stream, consider downloading it from iTunes, as it's a charity single. THE CURE frontman Robert Smith needs a cure for writer's block: "I've given myself a deadline to finish the words before Christmas. If I don't I should be shot." SEEN YOUR VIDEO: James Hunter playing "People Gonna Talk" is like listening to Sam Cooke with a twist of reggae. Good, soulful stuff. COLD WAR KIDS have a free covers EP to download, ranging from Elvis Costello to Lawrence Welk. THE DECEMBERISTS will have a concert and compilation DVD in March, courtesy of former label Kill Rock Stars. THE dB's have released an expanded version of their Christmas album, bringing Marshall Crenshaw, Don Dixon, Thad Cockrell, Roman Candle and Keegan Dewitt into the mix. So catch the "Holiday Spirit." SON VOLT: There's word of Zeppelin-esque guitar and Memphis-style horns on a new album due in March. PETE DOHERTY UPDATE: The troubled singer had a fight with an actor who fell to his death from a balcony shortly afterwards. There is no suggestion Doherty was involved in the death, but he disappeared from the scene before cops arrived
