  • Luke Bryan Shares Country Parody of 'The Christmas Song'

    It is that time of year again — when musicians looking to make a quick buck go out and record a new version of an old Christmas song that we have already heard a million times before. Today, however, country star Luke Bryan offered a different twist for his version of "The Christmas Song" — aka "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire." Instead of recording a new version of the song — honestly, do we really need another one? — Bryan sent out an email to his fans with a countrified rewrite of the song's lyrics, which you can check out below.According to "The Boot," Bryan has rewritten the lyrics with autobiographical references to his own Southern upbringing, such as his father's peanut farm — "Peanuts boiling on an open fire." He also includes references to his own superstar singing career, with lines referring to "fans who come to all the shows ... with their phones all aglow."You can check out Luke Bryan's new lyrics for "The Christmas Song" here, via "The Boot":

As reported by Dancing Astronaut, the send-off party Jan. 31 will fittingly feature Toronto native deadmau5. He has promised to leave the final hour of Guvernment to its longtime resident Matt Oliver, but until that point, the "Strobe" producer will command the last night for the Toronto venue.The venue has seen just about every big name in dance music, rock and pop come through its doors, and has been a staple of the Toronto dance music scene and nightlife and pivotal to Canadian electronic music. Just a few of the electronic acts to grace the decks at Guvernment have been Avicii, Armin van Buuren, deadmau5, Tiësto, Deep Dish, David Guetta, Hardwell, Steve Angello and more.

  • Wu-Tang Clan's Chemistry Isn't 'Good Right Now,' According to RZA

"I'll level with you, the chemistry's not all that good right now ... We've all done this long enough to know this process isn't just like, you make an album, then that's that. It's like a presidential campaign. You don't just make the policies then sit back. You create your platform, then you gotta take it out to the people."When discussing how the group's poor chemistry may have negatively affected "A Better Tomorrow," RZA compares the album to a baby that "comes out with one arm. You gonna love that child, make the best out of that situation and help it have the best life it can."
