The Popblerd Halftime Show: GG’s Best of 2012 So Far

The Popblerd Halftime Show: GG’s Best of 2012 So Far

My Popblerd brothers and sisters are putting together their top albums for the first half of 2012 . I’m throwing my hat into the ring. Much like my man Stephen , I don’t quite have a full list of 10, but I won’t steal his gimmick of writing up all my summaries in 140 characters or less. We’re going with a top 5. And let’s start from the bottom: 5. De La Soul – First Serve Yes, I know that this is more of a side project […]

The Viewfinder: B.o.B. feat. Taylor Swift, “Both Of Us”

Unlikely pairing? Perhaps, but it works. B.o.B. and Taylor Swift team up for the “Both Of Us” video.

Spin Cycle: Tech N9ne’s “All 6’s & 7’s”

A longtime, often-vaunted member of rap’s left-of-center underground, Tech N9ne has managed to forge a career out of being off the radar, of inspiring intense fan devotion (the Techn9cians even get their own affectionate name that sounds an awful lot cooler than Gleek or Juggalo), and of being gleefully, unapologetically off the wall. Those who can actually find a record store in their town may recognize Tech more from his album covers than his actual recorded output – his wild-eyed […]

Popblerd! Presents: Your 2011 Grammy Awards Live Blog (& Drinking Game)!

Some folks go crazy over the Academy Awards. Some folks go nuts over the Super Bowl. For me, unless a New York City team is in the World Series or Super Bowl, my most exciting pop culture event has to be the Grammy Awards. It intrigued me as a kid-it was probably the first award show I ever saw. I believe it was the 1980 ceremony, and all I remember is that The Doobie Brothers were performing, I was watching […]

Popblerd!’s 2011 Grammy Preview: Rap

Another year, another time to kvetch over the Grammy Award nominations, right? It may be music’s biggest night, but it’s hard to find a Grammy Awards that’s not fraught with controversy and/or boring as hell. The nomination process always results in head scratching decisions, and this year’s are no different. Katy Perry nominated for Album of the Year? Weird. Lady GaGa’s “Bad Romance” scratched off of the Record of the Year nominees? Uber-weird. No Lil Wayne nominations? Big Boi passed […]

Hear Here!: “Walk Away” by The Script (feat. B.o.B)

If I’d compiled a list of my favorite singles of 2010, The Script’s “Breakeven” would have easily finished Top 10, maybe Top 5. It’s entirely possible that people in my neighborhood unfortunate enough to leave their windows open are tired of me walking down the street squealing “I’m falling to peeeeeeeeee-ces” in a strained falsetto. The rest of the Irish band’s American debut album didn’t totally live up to the promise of that one song, but it was still a […]

Dear Grammy…

The Grammy Awards ceremony needs a face-lift, and I propose more awards and more performances by up-and-coming acts.

Popblerd! Presents: The Top 40 Albums of 2010 (15-11)

Before you move forward, make sure you check out the albums that have appeared on this list so far!! 16-20 25-21 30-26 35-31 40-36 Now we can move forward… 15. Of Montreal, False Priest (Polyvinyl) Crazy, crazy shit. Of Montreal’s latest album sounds like “Sign o’ the Times”-era Prince meeting Frank Zappa in a dark alley and taking lots and lots (and lots) of drugs. With assistance from left-leaning R&B vocalists like Solange and Janelle Monae, the indie-rock collective made 2010’s most delightfully eclectic album. […]
