Christmas Spirit

It seems as though everyone nowadays is making Christmas songs. Math and Physics Club, the immortal Sufjan Christmas collection, The Walkmen, Bright Eyes, you name it, they have some jolly yuletide songs in their repertoire. Well, chalk another one up, for Quasi has a new song, entitled "Merry X-Mas." But this one's no joke; it's destined for the album. So think White Christmases all year round. Leave it to Quasi to even try to make Christmas depressing.

Merry X-Mas everyone.

And check out the album cover. It's pretty cool. See it in stores March 21st.


While you're at it, give Quasi's Featuring 'Birds'. It's got to be one of my favorite albums of all time. Just wonderful.

And, of course, if you happen to live on the West Coast, and can get up to Portland or Seattle, Quasi will be opening for the man, the legend, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, and Janet Weiss's other band Sleater-Kinney. Perhaps you've heard of them.
