"Julian Casablancas has announced that he will release a Christmas single. The Strokes frontman told NME that he plans to cover festive song &amp;#039;I Wish It Was Christmas Today&amp;#039;, which first appeared on US comedy show Saturday Night Live. &amp;quot;It was a fun thing to do. Everyone seems to do a Christmas song at some point, so I always said to myself I&amp;#039;d do that song,&amp;quot; Casablancas explained.  &amp;quot;I now checked that off the list of things to do!&amp;quot; Casablancas released his first solo album Phrazes Of The Young yesterday. Later this month, he is due to kick off his UK tour. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
