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 rights, for fear of harming their career.  LeAnn doesn't seem to care about that - and just gets real.  By far one of the best voices of this generation.

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 great mashup!  Download the All Day album here for free!

Unconventional Christmas: The Hives vs. Cyndi Lauper

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 your sister
I know I should have thought twice before I kissed her
But with the year we had last
And the dress that she wore
I just went along for the ride
And I came back for more
And I’m sorry, baby


Cyndi Lauper
(That’s all okay honey cause see)


I bought no tree this year
And I slept with your brother
I wrecked your Daddy’s car
And went down on your Mother
I set your record collection on fire
And said I never knew (anekatips lyrics)
Felt kind of bad about that
And I know you did too


So whatever you say, it’s all fine by me
Who the f@#k anyway wants a Christmas tree
Duet : Cyndi Lauper and The Hives
Cause the snow keeps on fallin
Even though we were bad
It’ll cover the filth, we should both just be glad
And spend this Christmas together


The Hives
I married you last year
Bet you thought I was sober, right?
But I was drunk as a skunk and I made a mistake
This could all have been over


Cyndi Lauper
Ah honey please don’t excuse your behaviour
Cause I hired a hitman and changed your will
Cyndi Lauper and The Hives
It’s now all in my favour
So whatever you say, it’s all fine by me
Who the f@#k anyway wants a Christmas tree
Cause the snow keeps on fallin
Even though we were bad
It’ll cover the filth, we should both just be glad


Duet : Cyndi Lauper and The Hives
And spend-spend-spend this Christ-Christmas together
And spend-spend-spend this Christ-Christmas together
And spend-spend-spend this Christ-Christmas together
And spend-spend-spend this Christ-Christmas together


The Hives
Holding on without any reason
Cause something’s strong (something’s strong)
This holiday season (this holiday season)


Duet : Cyndi Lauper and The Hives
So whatever you say, it’s all fine by me
And who the f@#k anyway wants a Christmas tree
Cause the snow keeps on fallin
Even though we were bad
It’ll cover the filth, we should both just be glad


And spend-spend-spend this Christmas together
(repeat)
Come on!

Newsflash: Yellowcard announces release date of new album!

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.  Yellowcard is going to lead the pack of altpunkrock bands for 2011 to be a year of substance, not just noise.  In a recent posting on their site, they gave us these lyrics to the lead song The Sound of You and Me:

Someday, everything ends.
Can we begin
Finding a way back before we’re too late
And lost in between
the truth and the dream?
I’ve never been more ready to move on.

When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes has a set release date of March 21, 2011 (though still wondering when the single will come out!). They'll be touring the US with All Time Low.  Looks like March is going to be a great month!

Though the sound quality is quite shit, take a listen to For You and Your Denial below.

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 a little teary eyed towards the end of the song.  Though we've enjoyed 2010 as the year of dance-pop, I have a feeling next year will slow down a bit and remind us of music with substance.  Expect to see some changes on Wonky Pop next year!

You haven't seen the ghost that I've seen 

You haven't lived enough to know what I mean

Thanks Mark B. for the tip!
