  • Luke Bryan Shares Country 'The Christmas Song' Parody

    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."

  • Wu-Tang Clan's Chemistry Isn't 'Good Right Now': RZA

    The production of the Wu-Tang Clan's latest album "A Better Tomorrow" was reportedly a long and painful process, and in a new interview with "NME," Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA reveals how difficult it was to get the whole Clan to work together. According to RZA, the chemistry within the group is "not all that good right now," and even suggests that it may have had a negative influence on the quality of "A Better Tomorrow." "There was a lot of opposition within the Wu-Tang circle to doing the album," RZA reveals to "NME." "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."
