“Santa Baby”: The Jukebox From Hell 13
“Santa Baby” has become a standard over the years. Doesn’t mean it isn’t a shitty song, though.
The Viewfinder: Darlene Love Performs “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on “Letterman”
For the twenty-fifth year, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Darlene Love took the stage to perform the holiday classic “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on David Letterman’s late night talk show. I haven’t watched every single year, but this has got to be one of the better renditions. I’m feeling super Christmas-y right about now! On behalf of the Popblerd family, I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
Dave Rullo Presents: Aging Hip Replacement #24
It’s incredibly easy to lose the joy and wonder and newness of seeing the world and all the magical things inside of it for the first time. Each passing hour, day and year it becomes simpler and simpler to be sarcastic and weathered and calloused and just plain cynical.

Popblerd Chart Report 12/1/11: Buble Black Friday

The Biebs got a head start, but now here’s erstwhile Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland taking the holiday plunge with a new album of Christmas tunes, “Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” In the first video from the album, Weiland takes a stab at the old chestnut “Winter Wonderland,” trying to give off […]
Spin Cycle: Justin Bieber’s “Under the Mistletoe”
Ho Ho Ho! It’s Justin Bieber!! And we’ve got a review of his new holiday album.
Coldplay & George Michael Wish You a Very British Christmas
I suppose we’re now in the appropriate time period to be playing Christmas music. I personally have been there for about a week. I fired up Prince’s “Another Lonely Christmas” on the iPod (admittedly, not the most festive of tunes) the day after Thanksgiving, and I’m actively looking for a copy of the Salsoul Orchestra Christmas album online. With the spirit of the season slowly working it’s way through my body, I figured now would be the appropriate time to […]
