Hello and welcome to my year-end list. I started my Albums of the Year post about 9 blogmonths (2 weeks) ago and realized very quickly that the majority of my favorite music from this year wasn’t on there. For me, 2011 was a big year for songs. Albums, singles, EPs, mixtapes, remixes, remix albums, free [...]

Or 1/2 2011, depending on if phrasing/math/logic is important to you. This list is somewhat in order, but it’s not really in order. Also, #1 is definitely in order. Some favorites missing here work better in album mode (or came out in 2010, e.g.: Smith Westerns), and will see you later on the Best Albums [...]

If there’s only one thing you’ll count on in this world, let it be Adele remixes. Above, video mashup DJ Jarod Ripley takes the Dr. Luke/Max Martin/Billboard produced Britney monster and puts it under Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” vocals. The results are YES. (Vdub)

If you watched that ‘I am the Femme Fatale’ MTV special (which of course I did), you learned a few things about Britney that you might not have known before. Like she stops by the studio for 5 minutes to OK final mixes with a hand-clap, and interview questions & answers are obviously pre-written and [...]

In addition to posting nearly a dozen ‘bedroom covers’ on their Soundcloud a few hours ago, The Morning Benders also threw up a remix/cover (more of a remix) of Britney Spears’ “Til the World Ends” (pointed out by PMA) from her latest mostly awesome album, Femme Fatale. I was also promised a “California Gurls” cover, [...]

In case you didn’t hear, Britney Spears’ latest album leaked all over the internet yesterday. It was messy. Not that I download leaks (never!), but there are 4 or 5 genuinely great pop tracks on here – the best best of which being the Bloodshy and Avant (aka Miike Snow) co-written and produced “How I [...]

My first impression of Britney Spears’ “Hold It Against Me” wasn’t a great one (I think it mostly had to do with the weak-dupstep-copy-breakdown). But after a few listens, turns out it’s yet another very likable Britney single. And even though she’s giving the bare minimum and has perfected the art of surrounding herself with [...]

The first draft of this post, titled, “My Poproks 20 Best Songs Since 2000,” is from this past March. 8 months, 1,000 edits, and 3,000 miles later, it officially exits the abyss of blogFAIL that is My Poproks “drafts” section. Making lists is hard! I will never complain about another ‘Blank Songs of Blank’ list [...]

It’s Britney, Bitch?
As a swarm of adoring fans slowly filled Madison Square Garden last night for Britney Spears’ final New York Circus show, I found myself getting intensely excited for what has been getting hailed as Britney’s big “come back.” As someone who ranks the local stop of the Oops…I Did it Again Tour as [...]

To answer your question, no. This is not funny. But it’s commendable.
“A” for effort, Britney, and, for #2.
