Daily Roundup: Music to my ears

As the same-sex marriage debate heats up in Washington DC, New York blogger Joe Jervis posted some hilariously awful footage of one particular Bible-thumping loon and said:

“Yes, she is horrible, but I don’t know when I’ve laughed so hard. Somebody please remix this lady.”

Well, I’m no DJ, Joe, but — with huge, huge apologies to the Pet Shop Boys — here’s mine (turn on the annotations for the amazing Gallery Guy):

Yeah, I’d best leave the mixing up to the professionals, like Canadian electropop group Dragonette, who recently squeezed into a little CBC Radio studio to perform a number:

In other music news, out American Idol Adam Lambert just revealed the cover art for his forthcoming CD:

He’s certainly getting a reaction. The Queerty blog yelled, “We love you Adam, but no. NO. NO!” Entertainment Weekly said, “it’s a little more, um, out there than the pensive-yet-ultimately-benign images we’ve come to expect from Idol runners-up.”
