Mindless Self indulgence, How I Learned To Stop Giving A Shit And Love Mindless Self Indulgence: Album Review
Mindless Self Indulgence is definitely an acquired taste. If it’s a taste you’ve acquired, though, then their latest magnificent masterpiece How I Learned To Stop Giving A Shit And Love Mindless Self Indulgence is going to suit you just fine. On the Kickstarter funded fifth album (Although holding an album hostage until they get funds might not be why KS was started…) MSI is back to their old tricks once again with even sleeker production and even nastier content. How [...]
Jack Reacher: Movie Review
Jack Reacher is a movie you need to watch if you can’t get enough Tom Cruise in your life. Even though pretty much any other Tom Cruise movie ever made will be more satisfying. Given the slow decline of both his box office clout and esteem as an actor since the turn of the millennium, this group of Cruisers is in dangerously low supply here in the 20-teens. The only other people I can imagine selecting this movie for their viewing [...]

Killing Joke, The Singles Collection 1979-2012: Album Review
Saying that a Killing Joke best of album is going to be good is like saying that the sun is going to rise in the morning. It’s inevitable in both cases. On Spinefarm’s 3-disc The Singles Collection 1979-2012 fans of their earlier post-punk anthems can join together with fans of the heavier band the mid to late ’90′s saw them become. If you’re not a fan already then this is the perfect introduction because in addition to the 2-disc best [...]

Metal Monday Volume 122 (5.13.13)
I was mistaken when I previously insinuated that there were only two French metal bands you needed to listen to because apparently there are now three. If you take the best parts of Gojira and Hacride and mix them with some Meshuggah to up the technical aspect then you might have an idea of what Eryn Non Dae sound like. With Meliora, they’ve constructed an intense and extremely dense body of music that stands defiantly apart from their French countrymen. [...]
A Pale Horse Named Death, Lay My Soul To Waste: Album Review
A Pale Horse Named Death is near and dear to me in the Pop!Blerd world. Nevermind that the band features both of Type O Negative’s former skin bashers, APHND’s debut And Hell Will Follow Me was one of my my first “Metal Monday” volumes, one of the first bands I even mentioned in my absolute first column for the site and the first to get shared online by someone other than me and the P!B staff. But enough about me, [...]

Arrested Development on Netflix on May 26th!
Easily the most anticipated show of the year, maybe the last decade, is slated to return on May 26th via Netflix. I’m of course talking about Arrested Development which has finally posted a proper teaser for the show’s upcoming 4th season. All your favorites are back and while none of the planned guest stars (Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig) are seen in the first footage, it’s the Bluth Family that’s the real draw. Michael, George Michael, Maeby, Tobias, Buster….they’re all back [...]
