The Viewfinder: Nixon Nyce’s “No Pain”
He’s a dope MC, and he’s part of the Popblerd family. Check out Nixon Nyce’s new video for “No Pain.”
Who The Hell Is… Chris North?
Chris North, former member of The Points North , has a disposition somewhat akin to his music. This Jamaica Plain resident is a humble guy, while simultaneously being a no-bullshit and a very straight-to-the-point individual. His music resembles his earnestness, which he’s been writing and performing for several years now, dating back to his solo and collaborative efforts under the moniker of Saint Joe Hazelwood . North’s music has ranged from quite Appalachian folk to experimenting with static and industrial-esque soundscapes. Consistently honing and altering his […]
The Singles Bar: Nixon Nyce’s “Pat City”
Here’s the dilemma. Not only is Nixon Nyce a valued member of the Popblerd! staff, but he’s one of the leading lights in Boston’s hip-hop scene. Thing is, his new song, a remix of Tyga’s “Rack City” called “Pat City” is about…the New England Patriots. Even if I wasn’t a diehard New York Giants fan, the fact of the matter is that I hate the Patriots. Actually, I don’t hate the Patriots. I […]
Cold as Ice: Midseason Review, Part 1
Believe it or not, half of the NHL season is officially behind us. To commemorate the milestone, and look at both things past and to come, Cold as Ice co-editors Stephen and Jay sat down to discuss the season so far. In part one, they talk about their biggest surprises, both among teams and players, as well as what to think about the recently announced and even more recently delayed realignment. Jay: Okay, cool. So it’s hard to believe we’re […]
We Saw It!: The Roots @ The House of Blues in Boston 12/26
How does a dyed-in-the-wool hip-hop fan like me wait until 2012 to see his very first Roots show? I guess it’s been a combination of limited resources, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and just plain bad luck (I was supposed to see them at the Apollo a few years back, but my ticket connection fell through.) So when it was announced that The Roots would be playing Boston’s House of Blues on the day after Christmas, […]
The Blerd Interview: DJ Axel Foley
If you think you can tap into the mind and soul of a DJ strictly by the songs they spin, you couldn’t be more wrong. Thats like saying you can judge a book by its cover, and we all know the rap about that. You need to find out the ‘why’ rather than the ‘what’ before you can really know the deal…..you gotta dig in those crates before the precious reward can be mined. Now, some of you may be […]
An Hour (& a Half) of Power (Pop) with Fountains of Wayne
I owe my love of Fountains of Wayne to a decision to go to Wendy’s. I was sitting in a booth, enjoying a late lunch one day, when “Hey Julie” came on the PA. Immediately taken with the song, I got back to my office, Googled the song lyrics and realized…I already owned it. “Welcome Interstate Managers”, the band’s third album, had found it’s way into my record collection several months before, and I’d never given it a truly thorough […]
