Rihanna’s Loud, a decent, if vapid pop album, got a nomination by the Grammys for best album of the year. I actually don’t find anything wrong with Rihanna, and I think with her army of s...
Tom Jones giving the sex eye to the camera. David Foster tickling the ivories. A miracle at the 2-minute mark where, in an instant, Jones magically descends from the top of a church pulpit to the o...
I don’t think we’ve posted a reggae Christmas song on this site before. UNTIL NOW.
We’re starting to hit the holiday sweet spot. That time after Thanksgiving where even the scroogiest of people start getting into the spirit, and radio stations switch to an all-Christmas form...
If pepper spray is indeed a food product, then it’d make one hell of a turkey spice. WELCOME TO FLAVOR COUNTRY. It’d especially work well for deep frying. And maybe in a green bean casser...
Today is the busiest travel day of the year. For some reason, this song, a 23-year-old power ballad, is most evocative of this time of the year. It helps that “Coming Home” is off an albu...
Last year, we posted this awful, awful Lady Gaga Christmas song from earlier in her career, before she was really famous. Now that she’s a bit more successful and whatnot, she’s taking an...
If you’re a hockey fan, last night brought an early Christmas present in the return of Sidney Crosby. After not playing since receiving two head shots, the first of which at the 2011 Winter Cl...
Even though he didn’t win a single award at tonight’s American Music Awards (Taylor Swift?! Where’s Kanye when you actually need him), we here at Jingle Blog Rock acknowledge the RE...
Let’s see…Over the past week, I accidentally overpaid my cable bill by $500, tore my meniscus while playing dodgeball, and told my brother to park somewhere that was not OK and got his ca...
It’s fitting that the emergence of Tim Tebow came at the same time christians celebrate the birth of Christ. Don’t get too down on the Jets. It’s nearly impossible to win when God...
This isn’t exactly a holiday song, per se, but if the Elephant 6 bands can go on a “Holiday Surprise” tour in 2008 (and again in 2011) with this Christmas-themed promo photo, then b...
In a precursor to the Old Navy mannequins commercials, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers teamed up to sing this duet for her 1984 Christmas special, still riding the hot streak of “Islands in the S...
Are there really 50 words for snow that can be set to music for 65 minutes? Is Kate Bush singing about actual precipitation? Maybe she’s really singing about coke. Or maybe even bukkake. Whatever she...
It’s a joyous and strange day. The Baltimore Ravens lost to a horrible team one week after giving their coach a Gatorade bath. As a Steelers fan, I revel in every Ravens loss, but this one st...
I wasn’t going to post anything today. But, after enduring 5 weeks of incessant trash talk from Detroit Lions fans after they beat my Chicago Bears by 11 points in their first meeting, and cons...
Yesterday, we gave you a Christmas song from the Barenaked Ladies. If you also look at the tag cloud, you might notice that the “Barenaked Ladies” have the second biggest font size, after...
It’s a rainy, mellow day here in LA, and “Footprints” by Barenaked Ladies fits my mood. It’s a good holiday tune and makes me wish that it was 20 degrees colder here so the ra...
I’ve been under the weather the last few days. Here’s a song that fits my mood like a sweater right now. Ain’t it purdy and sad?
Nick Jonas and his brothers are like the cricket I spotted in my living room last night. I didn’t really mind it, but that didn’t prevent me from chasing it out the front door and into t...
On Christmas Day, 1978, Muhammad Ali appeared on the British version of “This Is Your Life.” Among the guests were Tom Jones, Anthony Quinn and Joe Louis in a lively show befitting Ali. A...
Welcome to Jingle Blog Rock 2011! We’re starting off the 2011 Holiday season with some sad news. Andy Williams announced that he has bladder cancer. Jingle Blog Rock wishes Andy a speedy rec...
Christmas is right around the corner, which means it’s time to cull a song from my personal favorite Christmas album, 1968′s Soul Christmas from Atco Records. Last year, I posted Otis Red...
As an Asian-American, I have mixed feelings about the Far*East Movement. On one hand, it’s great to see Asians become more prominent in American pop culture for something that doesn’t inv...
So here we are, the home stretch. In a few days we’ll be enjoying Christmas with our family and, if you’re anything like me, gorging yourself on 4,000 plus calories a day on things like ...
If you were to imagine what a Weezer Christmas song would sound like, then listen to this, it would be identical. But if you like Weezer, there’s nothing wrong with that. The greatest gift Wee...
This might be sacrilege, especially coming from a Christmas music blog, but there are WAY too many Christmas songs that come out every year. We try to go through a lot of them, past and present, to p...
We’re only 8 days away from Christmas, and many people begin their holiday vacations this weekend. There’s no better way to kick it off than with a cover song from one of the best grunge...
Fittingly, Kanye West closes out his G.O.O.D. Friday series of free downloads with a Christmas song. Now you might think that the writers of this blog listens to Christmas music 24 hours a day, 361 d...
If someone told Billy Idol in 1985 that he would end up recording an album of Christmas standards, he probably would have kicked his own ass. Even the baddest punk rockers can never say no to a good...
