Weird Al is back with a glorius Polka Medley called “Polkamania!” which combines some of the biggest pop songs of the past decade- everyone from Adele to Billie Eilish to Taylor Swift- and it’s just what America needed this week:
Weird Al is a total freaking genius.
I grew up adoring his masterpieces like “Amish Paradise”. “Fat”, “Like a Surgeon”, “White and Nerdy” and so, so many more.
I’d share them here with you, but for some reason, Weird Al’s Youtube channel won’t allow me to share on the site.
Post Malone is gearing up for the release of his upcoming Country album “F-1 Trillion” and did a live show in Nashville earlier this week at Marathon Music Works. He debuted several new songs, including “Yours”, which he wrote about his 2-year-old daughter getting married one day, and how he will feel if that happens.
As a mother, this basically slays my heart:
Oh, my heart!
You will be hearing this at ALL the weddings for the next couple of decades.
Seriously, I am so impressed with Post Malone and how he’s moving into Country music.
I absolutely cannot wait for his album “F-1 Trillion”, which drops August 16th. He will, of course, have a tour to follow, and you can get those dates at http://Postmalone.com
The “Twisters” movie soundtrack comes out tomorrow- same day as the movie- and it’s chock full of awesomeness!
We’ve gotten several great songs so far from Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, and now we have Jelly Roll’s song from the soundtrack called “Dead End Road” that came out today!
It sounds a lot like Jelly’s latest #1 “Halfway to Hell”, but it works.
I, for one, really like Jelly Roll’s music. I know there are some haters out there, but I like what he’s putting out, and it’s relatable to so many.
Country isn’t all just cowby hats and twang, there’s more to it, and Jelly is proving it!

Stevie Nicks was performing at Hyde Park in London Friday night when she was joined by Pop star Harry Styles for a couple songs.
If you recall, Harry performed with Stevie at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony a few years back, and they joined together again to perform “Stop Dragging My Heart Around and “Landslide”:
Ahhhhh… so good! Stevie, who is in her mid-seventies- still has it going on!
And she’s working on new solo material, and possibly a new album, so stay tuned!
Seriously, though, I love her and Harry Styles together.
This should really be “Song of the Year” at the 2025 Grammys.
One of my favorite creators “There, I Ruined It” just did a parody of Kermit the Frog performing Snoop Dogg’s “Gin & Juice”, and Lordy, is it something to behold:
Total Masterpiece, am I right?
This has been in my head all morning, and now I lovingly transfer it to yours.
Katy Perry is back, and she’s not playing any games.
She just released her new single “Woman’s World”, which is the lead single off of her upcoming album “143” out September 20th.
It’s super fun, and reminds me of her earlier days- lots of sass and cathcy hooks.
As a woman, of course I love it. Because, let’s be real, women are pretty rad when you think about it. I mean, we can give life, work hard, kick ass, and just do a few things that men can’t.
Don’t hate, appreciate!
Also, how badass does Katy look?
I’m just happy that she’s returning to the infectuous Pop that she started out with, and I’m really looking forward to the new album.
I’m a HUGE Aerosmith fan, and I get a bit twitchy when someone attempts to properly cover anything sung by Steven Tyler. But Kelly Clarkson and that sick voice of hers just ripped out a version of Aersosmith’s 80’s Power Ballad “Angel”, and it’s something else:
Ummmmm… can she cut that as a single please?
What’s so impressive is that she’s singing all these covers on her show completely live.
No autotune, no gimmicks, just pure, raw talent from the OG American Idol winner.
Kudos Kelly!
