It’s that time again, gang—Thanksgiving weekend is upon us. With the beginning of the holiday season comes a time to begin making a list of the things we are all thankful for, and we here at Beatcrave have made our own special list. A catalogue of the five musical moments that pleased us the most in 2012, our list contains such news items as a major pop band’s hiatus (thank God it finally happened), a rock ‘n roll idol ending months of rumors that he may be retiring by announcing a new tour, the announcement that someone was a “Douchebag,” a surprise baby-daddy announcement, and more. It was a weird year for music, but these five items gave us something to be thankful for.

Oh, Justin Bieber, you’re the holiday gift that keeps on giving—continually giving us bitter, cranky folk continued reasons to hate. Why, just in time for the holiday season, you dropped a new disc of holiday tunes, called Under the Mistletoe! And, as if that wasn’t a good enough reason to hate you, you wisely made sure it sold a ton of units/ downloads, making it the first Christmas album by a male artist to ever hit #1 on the Billboard album charts. You little devil, you.

This just in: Apparently ‘Baby, Baby, Baby, oh’ singer Justin Bieber may be singing a different tune now that people are talking about something other than just 2 billion YouTube views and a new album release–seems he’s been accused of fathering a child with a fan behind the scenes at one of his shows at the L.A. Staples Center. 20-year-old Mariah Yeater filed a paternity suit Monday against the 17-year old star. And Bieber’s legal team is, well, full of denial.

You may have heard that Justin Bieber unleashed his Christmas spirit upon the world today in the form of an album–wait, you didn’t hear that? You mean you’re not going to a real store to buy the compact disc version in hopes of winning a wonka-esque ticket found in one of the cases to see your hair-flipping idol? Well, then, you’re probably not one of the undoubted millions of “beliebers” out there who propelled his YouTube views past Monther Monster‘s ridiculously-high amount to reach the 2 billion mark before her.

Sexual reproduction—homo sapiens have been using this process of meiosis and fertilization to genetically further our species since we first originated in Africa some 200,000 years ago. It is a method of reproduction that has generated such historically and culturally significant human beings as Gandhi, Napoleon, Alexander the Great, William Shakespeare, Adolf Hitler, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Miles Davis, Leonardo DaVinci, Joan of Arc, Louis Pasteur, and Charles Darwin. Further, it is a technique that produces 490,000 new babies every day, which equals roughly 179,000,000 new babies every year. And yet, somehow, despite the fact that this process has created nearly 100 billion lives since the dawn of mankind, I have to stop and write about the fact that Beyonce Knowles is knocked up.

Justin Bieber may have the natural talent that scored him major musical attention and turned him into a star nearly overnight, but that doesn’t mean he can always take the pressure of being a teen and a celebrity, as evidenced this week when, according to Yahoo!, the singer posted a series of angry messages to the paparazzi via Twitter expressing his sense that the unyielding media attention he has received during a trip to Israel has forced him to spend most of the time hiding in his hotel room.
