audio and visual Peanuts

A couple quick notes, things sent in from readers:

AAUGH Blog reader Scott Microsoft is offering some free (digital) Christmas albums for folks who sign up for a thirty-day free trial of their “Groove Music Pass” service, and they include A Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Motown Christmas, and all the Justin Bieber Christmas you could want. I’m not signing up, because I already have A Charlie Brown Christmas and all the Justin Bieber Christmas music I want.

And AAUGH Blog Reader John points out that the first DVD for the current animated Peanuts run, the English translation of the short French cartoons, has been announced. Peanuts by Schulz: Snoopy Tales has two disks with three hours worth of material at a suggested price of $18.94, because people like to just make up silly numbers.

It briefly tells you that Charlie …
