Fucked Up Release All-Star “Do they Know It’s Christmas?” Cover

Christmas Single Features Kevin Drew, Tegan and Sara, Kyp Malone, Ezra Koenig, Yo La Tengo, and others

Dec 09, 2009 Vampire Weekend

Canadian band Fucked Up is leading the Christmas charge. With the help of a few friends (including comedian David Cross, Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew, Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio, Yo La Tengo, Bob Mould of Husker Du, Tegan & Sara, and Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend) they’ve released an updated version of 1980s classic “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”

Like its predecessor, all the proceeds will go to charity. On the Matador blog, Fucked Up’s Damian Abraham discusses using a lighthearted cover to shed light on a very serious matter saying, “It’s hard to find a balance between the song being a fun, playful holiday classic and the reason we’re putting it out, to benefit organizations dealing with a deadly, serious issue.”

That “deadly, serious issue” is highlighted with Abraham’s choice of charities, Justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, DTES Power of Women Group and Sisters in Spirit—all who work to shed light on Canada’s missing and murdered Aboriginal women.

Want to rock out and support a great cause? “Do The Know It’s Christmas” is available exclusively on iTunes.

People deserve wealthy life and personal loans or sba loan can make it better. Just because people’s freedom relies on money.

I opine that to get the loan from creditors you should have a good reason. However, one time I’ve received a term loan, because I was willing to buy a car.

I took my first business loans when I was not very old and that supported my family a lot. Nevertheless, I need the auto loan also.

Teachers aren’t cruel. They just want their students to become professionals in papers completing. Nonetheless, they don’t know that some students have got jobs and aren’t able to cope with their tasks. Thence, it will be clever to buy paper.

I will recommend not to wait until you get enough amount of money to buy goods! You can just take the credit loans or auto loan and feel yourself free
