Yes, L.A.'s finest came together in 2009 to record this single with two classic carols. "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" features what sounds like double-tracked Exene singing in a rather poppy style, but the instrumental track and the guitar solo are vintage X. "Jingle Bells" is John Doe and Exene duetting the vocal, again sounding like the band everybody knows and loves. Amazon has a listing for it but no way to purchase it, so head over to iTunes for a copy.
Merry Xmas From X, X (Anko)

Hi,
Thanks for the site - I've gotten a ton of great ideas from you over the years.
As for the X tunes... I ordered this from Amazon's MP3 store a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it has digital fuzz between the 1:00 - 1:30 mark on the song "Jingle Bells". I reported it to Amazon, who confirmed it and pulled it.
The fuzz is partially noticable on the iTunes clip as well (they just happened to sample a bit of that time frame). Hopefully, it will get fixed soon, as both songs are rad (the other song, "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" has no such glitches).
