Thanks to The Vinyl Villain for sharing this fabulous bit.

Here is a little bit of Julian Casablancas (of The Strokes) to make your holiday merry and bright.

CHRISTMAS SONG OF THE DAY:

"I Wish It Was Christmas Today"- Julian Casablancas

hi, i'm *j and I will be your server today

After nearly a year of Song of the Day posts on Facebook I am starting a music blog. For those days when just a few characters isn't enough to fill my musical thoughts.This is meant as a journal for teaching my kids about the importance of music and music history. Monday through Saturday will be generally be rock related, though not always. Sundays we will go into other genres from Swing to Jazz to Musicals to Classical. Not sure if you'll read me, not sure if you'll care. But you are invited to tune in to check out new and old tunes with me in bite-sized digestible trax.*j
