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 […]

Spin Cycle: Demi Lovato’s “Unbroken” // SuperHeavy’s “SuperHeavy”
A few months ago, Trustafarian favorites Sublime re-formed, replacing deceased frontman Bradley Nowell with Youtube sensation Rome Ramirez. The resulting album, Yours Truly , set precisely no one on fire, and in fact stands as one of the most egregious sins white people have committed against reggae in quite some time. SuperHeavy isn’t quite a reggae group, but it does count Damien “Jr. Gong” Marley as one of its own. Other members include Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, and Slumdog Millionaire composer […]
The Blerd Interview: Bleu
When interacting with power-pop artist/in-demand songwriter/mutton-chop maestro William “Bleu” McAuley, one thing comes into crisp, refreshing focus: Bleu is one nice dude. You see, a few weeks ago, Bleu was nice enough to set some time aside to talk to us; when a technological failure resulted in an entire, story-packed interview getting lost in space, I was awfully glum. As an avowed and longtime fan, it was disheartening to lose so much interesting material, and to waste a favorite artist’s […]
Volunteer with Bleu! Feel Good, Help Others (and Score Some Goodies)
Singer/songwriter Bleu is a favorite on this here blog, and it turns out that not only is he a generally talented dude, but he takes the time to do things for those less fortunate as well. A couple of weeks back, he participated in the Day Without Shoes campaign (or as most hippies call it: Tuesday), and now, he’s teaming up with Artists Against Hunger & Poverty to help distribute food to the hungry. Next Thursday on April 28th at noon, volunteer at the Somerville […]
The Killer Bs Invade Boston! (Bleu, Jim Boggia & Tracy Bonham, 3/4/11)
It was an interesting concept-three singer/songwriters-not playing on a bill in some kind of descending order, but playing together. Wasn’t totally what I was expecting, but Bleu, Tracy Bonham and Jim Boggia certainly pulled off the round-robin concept when I went to see them at Brighton Music Hall this past weekend. The three troubadours put together a pretty interesting show. They played the majority of the show as a trio (alternating “featured” performances), although each artist also performed a short […]
The Viewfinder: Bleu’s “How Blue”
My discovery of Bleu’s music was a case of being in the right place with the right person at the right time. My friend Brian was visiting from Boston (at the time, I was living in New York…now, he’s no longer in Boston, but I am…confused yet?) and we decided to, as music nerds do, go record shopping. As we were hanging out in Sounds on St. Mark’s Place, Brian handed me a copy of Bleu’s debut album Redhead, which had […]
