Good Charlotte unwrap their brand new holiday cover of the punk classic "Fairytale of New York." Legendary punk icons The Pogues originally dropped "Fairytale of New York" [feat. Kirsty MacColl] back in 1987. Nearly forty years later, Good Charlotte pay homage to the classic while simultaneously making it their own by updating it with the signature GC sound.
About "Fairytale of New York," Good Charlotte commented, "This has always been one of our favorite Christmas songs of all time! What a classic story - We have always wanted to do our own little version of it with our friends and family for years to come. We love Christmas and the holidays, so it was really fun to make another Christmas song to add to our favorite Christmas playlist - happy holidays from GC to you and yours!" (continue)

Hit songwriter and producer Eddie Schwartz (Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" among many others) just released his new EP "Film School", and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the song "We Win". Here is the story:
"We Win" saved my life. I know that sounds a little over the top, but that's how I feel about that song. So here's the story. In 1997 I moved my wife and two young kids from Toronto Canada to Nashville, Tennessee, and promptly got into the Nashville songwriting two-step, which is writing two songs a day, five days a week. I'd do one writing session in the morning from 10am to 1, then an hour for lunch and then another writing session in the afternoon from 2 to 5. Writing with different people, artists, other songwriters - so I was writing something like 10 songs a week. Now before that, when I wrote songs I took my time. If I wasn't happy with a song I was working on and it took a week or a month or even years, that was the time I took. FYI, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" literally took years to write. So the Nashville songwriting scene was very intense, and a world away from how I wrote before. Don't get me wrong, I met some amazing writers and artists, like Gary Levox of Rascal Flatts ( we wrote "See Me Through" with Bruce Miller), and it was an amazing experience. But after doing it for a number of years, I realized that I was burnt out and not writing the songs I wanted and needed to write. (continue)
