In early January, we got the news from left field that David Bowie would be issuing his first album in a decade this Spring. My night owl lifestyle has paid off once again, as just moments ago Bowie’s YouTube channel posted a second video from the upcoming The Next Day LP. Whereas “Where Are We Now” harkened back to 1999’s …hours album (admittedly not one of my favorites), “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)” is more in line with Bowie’s two most recent albums, Heathen and Reality. And of […]

The Viewfinder: Bleu, “Somebody Else (2013 Version)”
Power-pop fans, rejoice! Killer solo artist, songwriter to the stars, and Popblerd favorite Bleu has released “Somebody Else”, part of a project to re-imagine the songs from his 2003 major-label debut Redhead. It’s all in anticipation of Bleu’s forthcoming 5th LP, To Hell With You, a fan-funded record that promises to be awesome. And we’ll be giving you the hard sell on To Hell With You when it happens, but until then, enjoy Bleu’s re-recorded “Somebody Else”, complete with modern production flourishes and […]
Fall Out Boy, “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)”: The Viewfinder Review
Um, so I really like this. If you didn’t know it already, Fall Out Boy are back! They have a new album due in May, a full blown tour ready to roll, and a whole new sound. I’ve been a casual fan since F.U.C.T. exploded all over the place but my attention span usually never went past the stage of getting their albums. I will say that I’ve always respected how FOB’s sound continued to evolve regardless of how their […]

The Good Natured, “5-HT”: The Viewfinder Review
Probably the biggest letdown for me in 2012 was the fact that The Good Natured’s full length didn’t see the light of day. The incredible Skeleton EP, released in 2011, is still in regular rotation on my Ipod and I couldn’t wait to hear where they went. There was a glimmer of hope earlier in 2012 as “Video Voyeur” was released and some updates saying the album was coming and then…nothing. Cut to today and the release of “5-HT” and […]

David Bowie Celebrates His Birthday With a New Video: “Where Are We Now?”
Two words I was fairly certain I would never see again: “New Bowie.” He hasn’t released any new music since 2003’s Reality. And aside from a very few one-off appearances, he’s pretty much evaded media attention since the closing of the Reality tour in 2004 (which incidentally, was the highest grossing tour that year). In fact, the last leg of the tour had to be canceled due to the discovery of a clogged artery that required an emergency angioplasty. That […]
