Heads to radio the week of November 22 said Billboard. I'm not sure how much Modern radio plays Christmas remakes, but Weezer sounds like a band that could do it. As long as it chases the annoying #2 peaking single they have now off the radio, it's all good.

I want Can't Stop Partying because, well, um, yeah. Weezer's pretty much done, if they're going out anyway, might as well go out in a Lil' Wayne inspired blaze of infamy.

Actually, Weezer are far from done. Their current single's doing really well on Alternative, they still have a huge fanbase, and I'm pretty sure they're not breaking up anytime soon. So suck on that.

I like the way they do this, but I think this is an odd choice for a couple reasons:
-As far as I can tell, there aren't any any plans for a physical release of Christmas With Weezer, so this is promoting a year-old digital holiday EP. (If I'm wrong - and I'd love to be, 'cause I'd buy the EP - please someone correct me.)
-Alt seems to be one of the formats least likely to play holiday-themed selections much in advance of the actual week of (or day of?) Christmas, so sending it for adds in late November may not impact much.
Still, it's a nice rendition, so more power to them.

I never heard they had a Christmas album. I assumed they were Jewish anyway. And I can't remember the last time I heard any of my Modern stations playing a holiday song. Maybe this will be the first.

More alternative influenced bands should record Christmas songs... I'm already a big fan of this....

Fantastic idea on having a Christmas page on the proboards venue. I noticed 3 Doors Down was carried over. I can't find the link or button to do it, so I'll let somebody else take this over there for some holiday conversation.
