Year In Review of the Day: Time to party like it’s 2011: DJ Earworm finally unleashes his highly anticipated mashup masterpiece, “United State of Pop 2011 (World Go Boom).”
He says:
I’ve made some changes in the song selection process this year.
In efforts to better reflect the year, I have a system that draws from the weekly charts from throughout 2011 that ensures that all the late-breaking hits (such as “We Found Love” & “Sexy and I Know It”) are included in the 2011 mix.
Go here to grab the MP3 and see the complete list of songs used in the 2011 mix.

Christmas Miracle of the Day: Brad Luddeke, a former volunteer firefighter who dresses up as Santa every year and delivers gifts to needy families, happened to be in his Santa suit when he came across a two-car accident in the Dallas suburb of Coppell.
The 52-year-old rushed to pull one of the drivers out of his mangled car and moved the other out of harm’s way before his burning truck exploded.
He then spent several minutes directing traffic near the scene of the crash until emergency crews arrived.
According to police, neither driver was seriously injured.
“I really just did what anyone would do in that situation,” Luddeke told Reuters. “I just happened to be wearing a Santa suit.”
Nyan Of Cathlehem of the Day: O nyan of wonder, nyan of light / Nyan with royal beauty bright / Westward leading, still proceeding / Guide us to thy purrfect pop-tart.

Curious Christmas Cat of the Day: Lauren says: “This is my cat, Fran. Fran is an impatient little turd who can’t wait until tomorrow like the rest of us.”
