James Murphy, Nelly Furtado on ****ed Up Holiday 7"

Plus: Matt Sweeney, Jay Reatard, members of Black Lips, Faint, Chromeo, Rites of Spring, AFI

Generally, where gift giving is concerned, you want to reach as deep into your heart as you do your wallet and come up with something nice and thoughtful. But sometimes, when you know the person on the receiving end will be into it, you wanna give something a little ****ed up.

Well, the capital-F Canuck punks of ****ed Up have the perfect idea for that special someone on your list: a star-studded, limited edition, hand-wrapped, self-released, multi-denominational holiday 7" single. 1,000 copies of "David Christmas" will arrive just in time for the holiday season, but it's the B-side that's filled us with a warm seasonal glow.

The track, a "Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa song" called "Stars on 45", finds ****ed Up joined by a retinue of guest stars that must be read to be believed. Ready? OK: LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, Black Lips' Cole Alexander, Matt Sweeney, the Faint's Jacob Thiele, Jay Reatard, the Horrors' Faris Rotter, Rites of Spring's Mike Fellows, Chromeo's Dave One, Shenae Grimes of "Degrassi: The Next Generation", AFI's Davey Havok, What's Your Rupture? label guy Kevin Peterson, Panthers'/Orchid's Jayson Green, Poison Idea's Jerry A., Terror's Scott Vogel, Attack in Black's Dan Romano, Face to Face's Trever Keith, and-- as if this thing could get any stranger-- Nelly Furtado.

They made the list, and checked it twice: "This is not a joke," the band claims, and wild as this thing reads on paper, it's the real deal. People, this is our "We Are the World". Or, at least, our "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Either way, wow.

All done up in special ****ed Up paper, this season's most perfect present goes on sale December 15 at a special Christmas themed gig at Toronto's Sonic Boom Records. The band will perform a number of yuletide covers, and they're hinting all over the place that somebody's gonna be donning a Santa suit and letting the kiddies sit on his lap.

The band may also test out some tunes from its forthcoming album, The Chemistry of Common Life, due next year.

Oh, and here's something not the least bit ****ed up: all proceeds for the single (and, should you be feelin' it, any donations at the otherwise free Sonic Boom event) will go to the George Herman House, which gives support to mentally ill women in the Toronto area. The band also asks that those who attend the Sonic Boom gig bring nonperishable edibles for the local food bank. Nice folks, that ****ed Up lot.

And this is from their blog:

We got the idea to have some friends and luminaries do pieces on the bside of the record at 5pm last tuesday and went into the studio at 7. we were in a time rush because we'd originally planned to have David Eliade read a bit from "A Christmas Story", but Nick Fenstle ended up getting sick that day and needed to be taken to the hospital....anyhow in two hours we managed to get large pieces from all our friends rolodex's and starting making calls from the studio. The roster is such a weird melange of people - from close friends to a lot of people we'd never met, nor assumed even know who we are. Graciously even the latter agreed to help out the project, in the interests of the charity. As always, we tried calling Uffie numerous times but she wouldn't pick up...the most exciting was definetely Nelly Furtado, not only because of the star-power (which is more subtle in Canada), but because of the process - she just happened to be recording something next door and we litreally just bumped into her in the hallway. We got our newest member Young Governor psyched up for about an hour before he worked up the courage to barge into the studio to ask her the favour. She was very polite and cool about it!

So she was recording something? Now I'm dying to know what that may be... And this single is gonna be a real rarity too:

Additonally, we will release the 7" version of "David Christmas" on December 15th, the a-side featuring the aforementioned title track, with a bside with holiday wishes from a few of our closest friends. These singles will cost $10 and will be designed and gift-wrapped by our friends at Punch Clock - they will be the perfect gift for you son and/or daughter. 100% of the money from these singles will be donated to George Herman House. The press will be 1000 copies - the copies that aren't sold at the show will be available for mail order - please await details. Studio time was graciously donated by our friend Chris Hegge from Audiolab Toronto, a great studio where we have recorded most of our 7" singles (402 Salem Avenue North. 416-516-5542)

thanks to Balzin

Nelly Furtado joins other stars to raise cash for cancer centre


Mark Medley , National Post

Published: Monday, November 26, 2007

When Nelly Furtado takes the stage at the Elgin Theatre tonight for It's Always Something, the pop star will be honouring a promise she made two years ago. The Canadian singer was scheduled to attend the vaudevillian fundraiser last year, but scheduling conflicts nixed the plans.

"This year, I put it on my calendar well in advance," says the 28-year-old.
She's not the only one. It's Always Something is the year's biggest fundraiser for Gilda's Club Greater Toronto, a cancer support centre. Now in its sixth year, the event draws some of Canada's pre-eminent entertainers. While past performers have included Bryan Adams, Eugene Levy and Kim Cattrall, this year's line-up is just as strong. The group includes comedian Russell Peters, actor Eric McCormack and songbird Anne Murray, who will likely pair up with Furtado for a duet.


Anne Murray and Nelly Furtado will probably sing a duet together tonight

"I'm excited," says Furtado. "I think that it's really lighthearted and fun and soulful. They do it like an old-school variety show. Cancer is a scary word, but events like this, and awareness like this, kind of make the whole thing seem a lot [less] scary."

It's also an essential event for the organisation. CEO Judith Wiley says It's Always Something -- a mix of comedy, music, and dance -- raises about 40-50% of the club's yearly operating budget. The show is run by about 100 volunteers, many from the city's theatre community.

Gilda's Club was founded in honour of comedian Gilda Radner. The Second City and Saturday Night Live star died of ovarian cancer in 1989. The first clubhouse opened in New York City in 1995, and the Toronto club opened its red door in 2001, in the old Second City firehouse on Lombard Street.
"I was visiting Gilda's recently, and it's a beautiful place," Furtado says. The clubhouse -- run by 10 full and part-time staff members and an army of about 350 volunteers -- receives over 12,000 visits each year.

"We're just trying to provide a community atmosphere," says Teri Henderson, the club's program director. "If you're going through cancer not every second of you're journey is about tears." On a recent weeknight tour of the clubhouse, the halls were filled with the smells of home cooking and the sounds of laughter. Members had gathered for a potluck, including Bruce Pender, who's been a member of the club since day one.

"Somebody dropping into a situation like this evening, they would never know that we've all been touched by cancer," says the 69-year-old Toronto resident. "The essence and the spirit of Gilda is here. And as we know, all she ever did was laugh. And laughter ... according to Reader's Digest, anyway, is the best medicine."

And that's why Furtado is supporting Gilda's Club. "They treat the person not the illness," she says. "Everybody can relate to that. We never want to be seen as somebody with a certain illness, or with a physical handicap. We all want to be people first, right?"
