Guster - "Donde Esta Santa Claus?" (2003)

You’ve probably heard of Guster before. They’ve released five albums since 1994, gaining some popularity from singles like “Airport Song” from 1997’s Goldfly and more notably “Barrel of a Gun” from the 1999 album Lost and Gone Forever. They gained a lot of new attention in 2003 after releasing their fourth record Keep It Together which featured the incredibly catchy singles “Amsterdam” and “Careful.” 2006 saw the relase of their latest album Ganging Up On the Sun and the excellent single “One Man Wrecking Machine.” Today’s song is a fun little Christmas tune that originally appeared the compilation Maybe This Christmas Too, which is the second disc in the Maybe This Christmas series which also features Maybe This Christmas and Maybe This Christmas Tree. All three comps have some great tracks and I’ll give you a sampling of the other two later this month. According to allmusic.com, this song was first recording in 1990 by a band (or solo artist?) called Augie Rios. I haven’t heard that version, but it’s probably not as good as Guster’s. This is just a fun track to add to your Christmas rotation.
