More Info:

The Best Coast is an awesome surf punk band from the west coast. If you like The Drums or The Vivian Girls, definitely give this one a listen. The Soft Pack is another awesome west coast punk band that I absolutely love, but I'm not crazy about the single. It's still pretty good, but not as good as some of the songs from their Muslims EP released in 2009. I'm pretty excited about their upcoming LP in 2010. Vampire Weekend. Well, Vampire Weekend. Hmm. Punk that is poppy and super fun. I'm not a Vampire Weekend fan. But I think I might this single better than some of the stuff from their last LP. It has more balls. Look out for their LP coming out in early 2010! How could you not love Los Campesinos!? I'm not sure how I feel about this single. It sounds like every other Los Campesinos! song that I've ever heard. I think I just need to really listen to it as opposed to being background music. Usually Los Campesinos take a while to grow on me and then I can't stop listening to it. New LP in 2010! One of the most hyped albums for 2010 is definitely with out a doubt the new Beach House record being released on SubPop. I don't know why I like Hot Chip. I never thought I did, but then I always found myself listening to it. Hot Chip = Baby Making Jamz. It's a solid dance jam. Andrew Cedermark is awesome. Please listen to the two new songs he released with Family Portrait on a split 7" on Under Water Peoples. They are both awesome bands and Mega Secrets by Family Portrait just might be one of my favorite songs of all time. Andrew Cedermark & Family Portrait = Awesome Jamz. It's kind of strange that Sharon Jones of Daptone Records somehow ended up on the same mix CD as Andrew Cedermark and Fucked Up. Strange things do happen here at WUSB. This is probably my favorite of all of the Holiday jamz we've gotten thus far. It's awesome and you should play it if you're in the holiday spirit. The new Fucked Up holiday benefit jam is also on this wonderful mix CD. It's a cover of the infamous "Do They Know It's Christmas." Members of Yo La Tengo, TV on The Radio, Vampire Weekend, and more which I just forgot. I've also included a Christmas Island jam, although it's not legitimate holiday music. But it's awesome nonetheless. The Forro in The Dark jam is a really awesome instrumental cover of Santa Claus is Coming To Town and highly encourage you to check it out. It will definitely be rocking out on Oprah's Handbag. Enjoy the new singles for 2010 releases and madd holiday music!

And I couldn't download this one, but it's a new Magnetic Fields jam that's Holiday-ish. Feel free to play it! New Magnetic Fields stuff in 2010!

LC!

Los Campesinos is probably one of my favorite bands of all time.

Here is a little about their newest album, which will release early 2010!

Our new album, Romance Is Boring, will be released on February 1st 2010 on CD, digital and vinyl.

There is plenty of time for conjecture and discussion, but in the meantime, here are some facts.

The tracklisting is as follows:

In Medias Res
There Are Listed Buildings
Romance Is Boring
We’ve Got Your Back (Documented Minor Emotional Breakdown #2)
Plan A
200-102
Straight In At 101
Who Fell Asleep In
I Warned You: Do Not Make An Enemy Of Me
Heart Swells/100-1
I Just Sighed. I Just Sighed, Just So You Know
A Heat Rash In The Shape Of The Show Me State; or, Letters From Me To Charlotte
The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future
This Is A Flag. There Is No Wind
Coda: A Burn Scar In The Shape Of The Sooner State

The album was recorded and mixed between March and June of 2009, in Seattle, Connecticut and Monmouthsire, with producer John Goodmanson. It features guest appearances from Jamie Stewart, Zac Pennington and Jherek Bischoff.

It is a record about the death and decay of the human body, sex, lost love, mental breakdown, football and, ultimately, that there probably isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel.
