Damn, I nearly forgot how good she is!
Though I don’t love this arrangement of Bette Midler’s The Rose, the compilation of the Gay Men’s Chorus and LeAnn Rimes is simply stunning. I sincerely forgot just how amazing her voice is, thanks to the media’s depiction of her over the past few months. She reminds gay youth everywhere that It Gets Better. There are not many country singers who will stand up for gay...

Download: Girl Talk "This Is the Remix"
You gotta be a genius to create mashups, there is no way around that. To be able to pull 373 songs into one cohesive 71 minute album, blows my mind. That’s just what Girl Talk has done on his fourth LP, All Day. And the track This Is the Remix will have you reminiscing about the 90s while enjoying the the sounds of today. I got pretty giddy when Cecilia began to ring through. Truly a...

Unconventional Christmas: The Hives vs. Cyndi...
This song warms my little heart like a stiff drink. It reminds me of the good drunk times with my family on Christmas Eve, watching Christmas classics such as Scrooged, Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story. I’m going to let the lyrics explain this one. Tyler, this one’s for you! Merry (Uncoventional) Christmas everyone! The Hives I bought no gifts this year And I slept with...

Newsflash: Yellowcard announces release date of...
Yellow-what some of you might be saying, but I have a very large soft spot for the altpunk band Yellowcard. I’ve eagerly awaited to hear about their new album release and finally, the wait is over! It’s hard to believe that the incredible Paper Walls was released more than three years ago and we’ve had no new material of the Jacksonville, Florida native’s band since....

Since You've Been Gone...We've Missed You!
Oh Kelly Clarkson, how we’ve missed you. This is what you do best. Write a sappy song, express your emotions and get us to ball our eyes out. Recently at A Night For Hope, Kelly introduced her new song to the audience, You Still Won’t Know What It’s Like. It hasn’t been confirmed but we strongly believe this will be on Kelly’s upcoming new album. Kelly even gets...

Ricky Martin still has it. Lovin’ this live performance of his newest single The Best Thing About Me Is You. We’re excited about his next studio album, dropping on February 1, 2011! Are you?

Cover: Gavin Beach does Robyn
There is nothing like taking a popular dance song and stripping away all of the bits to the heart of it all. If you’ve ever really listened to Robyn’s Dancing On My Own, you would hear just how dark and depressing the lyrics truly are. There is serious heartbreak happening here. Reflection. Rejection. With all of her pop-dance songs, Robyn is a lot more vulnerable than people are...

Preview: Avril Lavigne "What the Hell"
Though you gotta wait until January 7th of next year for Avril Lavigne’s latest new single to be available, preview a short clip of What the Hell here. Nothing new here - same Avril style - upbeat, angry, poppy. It’s good to see Avril is back.

Unconventional Christmas: Katelyn Clampett "I'll...
We often see the funny and the upbeat, lyrically catchy side of this girl, but we haven’t heard a lot of the softer side to her. Katelyn Clampett has taken one of the most popular holiday songs, stripped it down and unwrapped it to us all as an early Christmas present. It’s a true showcase of her beautiful voice. Merry (early) Christmas everyone! I’ll Be Home For Christmas...

Unconventional Christmas: Toby Mac "Christmas This...
A little tidbit you may not know about me… I was actually a CCM kid throughout most of High School and into my college years. CCM artists really get railed on by critics in the secular side of music, which is truly unfortunate, because there are a lot of really talented singer/songwriters and bands within the genre of Contemporary Christian Music. TobyMac has always been my favorite, ever...

Listen: September "Me & My Microphone"
Sweden will be kicking off the new year early with their after Christmas release of September’s fourth studio album, Love CPR. Hopefully the US will be able to taste this deliciousness shortly after the New Year. As if Ace of Base (old school style) was reincarnated, Me & My Microphone is an infectious new dance jam by the bleached blonde pop star. It’s headed a bit more in the...

Download: Gabriella Cilmi "Defender"
I gotta be honest… the past few days, been feeling quite uninspired and unmotivated. Can you tell winter is here? I’m even living in a place where the snow will never fall (though if it ever does, I’m outta here!) and the temperature rarely drops below 50 degrees. Even still, it’s nearly the end of the year and like most, I’m just exhausted. Christmas vacation...

Unconventional Christmas: Carol of the Bed...
If you don’t get this, well, then you really didn’t pay attention to the really important current events this year. So hide your kids, hide your wives and hide your husbands, ‘cause Santa Claus is coming to town. Thanks to DListed for bringing this to our attention!

Listen: Biffy Clyro "Many Of Horror"
Blue October and the Foo Fighters just mated and had a baby. Ok so I lie, but if they did it’d be Biffy Clyro. Lovin’ this track from the Scottish rock band. Sometimes you need to get your ass outta the club and into the corn field.

Unconventional Christmas: Chris Rea "Driving Home...
To take an iconic old fart of the 80’s Christmas song and make it something groovy for today is pure skill. Thanks to our friends over in Hollands, Keljet creates another great remix, this time of Chris Rea’s Driving Home For Christmas. Download it here.

Obsession: N-Dubz "Love.Live.Life" album
With more than 25,000+ songs in my iTunes, it takes a lot to garner my attention for more than a few minutes. And the new N-Dubz Love Live Life album does just that. Not only are they able to hold my attention for a few minutes, they’ve managed to dominate my iPod in the car, at work and at the gym. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been a fan of the Dubz since I got the Against All...

Diva Dish: Natalia Kills
Having spoken to Natalia Kills for nearly an hour, I’ve come to the conclusion that she is one of the most insightful artists of today. Though not yet a household name, mark my words, come next spring, she will be. With a intense drive to create the best music to our ears, Kills is passionate about what she does. She sees her music before she even hears it. Though the interview is nearly...

Unconventional Christmas Cover: Angus Jones does...
Most people expect their spirits to be lifted during the holiday season. But Joni Mitchell pulls you into a world of broken toys, cups of eggnog beyond their expiration date and a heap of sadness. Take one part bluegrass and one part Ray LaMontagne and you’ll get Angus Stone’s cover of River. Dare we say it but, this version even takes the cake over Sarah McLachlan. Grab your...

Leak: DJ Snake "Pressure In This Club" ft. Eva...
We’ve recently discovered this new gem of a club banger from our favorite mohawk’d lady, Eva Simons. The house song was written by the great French DJ Snake. No confirmation as to whether or not this will be on Eva’s debut album or DJ’s, but nonetheless, it’s something to hold us over.

Let's Smoke All Night!
Ok, so this is a REALLY weird new (ish) offering from Liz Phair. The album is hit and miss for me, though I do appreciate her experimentation. My favorite from Funstyle, Smoke, starts out like a silly skit put to bass but then changes it completely with a super catchy chorus. Bang! Bang! sounds like something Massive Attack wishes they recorded for their Mezzanine album. Definitely worth a...

Flashback Friday: Mike + Mechanics "The Living...
One of the most widely covered and well known lyrical songs, The Living Years tells the heart wrenching relationship of Mike Rutherford of Mike & The Mechanics and his father. You may recall that Rutherford was one of the founding members of the very successful Genesis. Recorded in 1988, it quickly became a top ten chart hit around the world, including a four week stint at #1 in the US....

Cover: Ellie Goulding does Rihanna
Damn this is good. To take a top dance song and turn it into a beautifully orchestrated love song just gives me goosebumps! Ellie Goulding recently covered Rihanna’s Only Girl In the World and gave it her own spin. It’s that kind of cover that makes you want to wrap yourself in the electric blanket, sipping hot cocoa (perhaps spiked) by the fireplace. De-licious! This song is...

Download: Katelyn Clampett "All Over Again"
The funny southern bell we’ve come to love has offered up a free download for her Facebook & Twitter fans. So do yourself a favor - follow Katelyn Clampett! The singer-songwriter has given us another taste of her California Country Pop music with All Over Again. It’s a refreshing break from the autotune, dance til you drop songs currently flooding the radio. It’s a nice...

Update: Cherrytree Records has confirmed that this is not the official video for Activate My Heart. An official clip of the new video should be released next week. Stay tuned! Though Activate My Heart will not be included on Natalia Kills Perfectionist album, it was released as a promotional single. It was the second single released after Zombie in April of this year. Upon first glance,...

Rumor has it that not many know of the exact release date of Britney’s new single and those that do had to sign legal...

Unconventional Christmas: Jersey Shore Christmas...
Nothing warms my heart more for the holidays then the true meaning of Christmas. The words that J Randall sings in Santa Gimme are so life changing - and sung with such sincerity, it may have you down on your knees. Why can’t everyone be this honest for Christmas? Consider this video and song the Jersey Shore’s prayer for Christmas. I wonder if Snookie did his makeup? I dunno...

Alesha Dixon is Turning Up the Radio - Live!
Two things about Alesha Dixon’s performance from the 5:19 Show. One, she sounds incredible live - no lip-syncing here. And two, always have back up vocalists who sound worse than you - she needs to replace these guys because they almost ruined Radio for me. …ok maybe three things.. she also looks stellar!

Listen: Kandi "Leroy Jones"
By far my favorite of all of the Housewives, Kandi is well known for her success with bands like TLC and Destiny’s Child. A former member of the girl Hip Hop/R&B group Xscape, Kandi is a Grammy award winning songwriter. She also penned Pink’s There You Go for her debut album. And now she’s releasing her sophomore album of solo material next week, Kandi Koated. Though hard...

21 Days of (non-traditional) Christmas!
As I’ve previously mentioned, I like funkified Christmas music. And those that challenge traditional Christmas hymns and the classics are winners in my book. Crystal Theory’s Chillout Christmas album is the combination of Esthero & Mandalay (now I am gonna have to pull their album out!), a true vibe to put you into a candy cane trance. Listen to White Christmas below.

Video Premiere: Dev "Bass Down Low" ft. The...
The last few videos I’ve seen lately have not been so great. Disappointing really. But the latest one from Dev & The Cataracs really caught my eye. It’s simple yet so freakin’ clever. And it has me falling in love with Bass Down Low even more! The eye candy that is The Cataracs also helps keep your attention (as well as their vocals).

Natalia Kills is a "Hot Mess"
Actually, it’s that other bitch in the club corner over there. Yeah you - you’re a hot mess! Recently leaked, Hot Mess is a catchy dance jam, dark pop, with some creative dirrty lyrics, something Ke$ha would spew out. A highlight is “bending over for the world to see your coin slot.” That really makes me giggle. It’s sure to give anyone another reason to fall in...
