Ranking the Boss: Bruce Springsteen’s Studio Albums, Part 1
In light of Bruce Chester Alan Arthur Springsteen’s (note: not real middle name) 17th studio album, Wrecking Ball, hitting stores this week, Popblerd has turned to one of its resident Springsteen enthusiasts, native New Jerseyan Andrew “Drew” Ratliff, to provide a definitive (read: entirely subjective) ranked retrospective of The Boss’ studio ouvre. Naturally, sacrifices had to be made. First of all, no compilations: this weeds out the exhaustive bonus disc on The Essential Bruce Springsteen, the four-disc-strong unreleased material compilation […]

Fortunately for Boss fans, Bruce has announced another round of touring dates for 2012, in anticipation of forthcoming album Wrecking Ball. You can catch the sweat-soaked, three-hour-plus shows at any of the venues below, and in the meantime, […]
Friday Throwback: Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”
As our own Drew pointed out yesterday in his Singles Bar column which featured a stream of Bruce Springsteen’s new single , Bruce and company are back again with a brand new album on March 6. Listening to the new single made me think about my favorite all-time Springsteen video. Of course it was the one with the baseball backdrop! As I stated in a previous Friday Throwback , I was really introduced to music videos via my dad who video taped them. I first saw the Glory Days video […]
Diggin’ In The Crates: “Donna Summer”
No one benefited from the disco explosion more than Donna Summer. A Boston-bred singer/actress who found herself performing in Germany, she hooked up with European producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte and proceeded to light up the latter half of the Seventies with a thunderous voice and a collection of hits that traversed a wider musical terrain than many folks give her credit for. Beginning her run of hits with some funk-laden erotic cooing on the Barry White-esque “Love To […]
The Blerd & Gonzo Cover Convo: “Blinded by the Light”
Gonzo: So, I can’t find the original studio version on Youtube. Mp3 incoming. In the meantime, I’m going to get some hummus. Blerd: Aw dude, that makes me look bad. I’m eating Chex Mix G: Aw, shit. Well, let’s get down to business Most of our convos thus far have been in the pop/R&B realm. I’m taking us a little more into rock territory. B: Ooh…dangerous! Shall i hit play? G: Let’s!
