Our friends Dando and Carlos Halston have been away for a minute, cooking up who knows what. But Boston’s favorite I-don’t-know-how-you-describe-this-music duo has resurfaced just in time to gift their fans for being naughty and nice. Halston (who provides the theme to the Popblerd podcast, in case you were wondering) release a holiday single every year, and the 2013 chestnut is simply entitled “Christmas.” The track can be downloaded for free here , and they have also thoughtfully included a video for the track.

The Singles Bar: Musclemilk!'s "I'm So Down"

The Singles Bar: Musclemilk!’s “I’m So Down”

If you’re a constant reader of this here site, you’re familiar with Boston’s duo Halston. Did you know that 1/2 of that band, Carlos Halston, is also a member of another duo, called MuscleMilk!?

Think Yoko Ono’s “Walking On Thin Ice”, Blondie, and ESG mixed into a blender with some hip-hop drumming worked in and you get a very good sense of where their new single, […]

CYN? It’s the Latest JAM from Halston!

Been waiting for a new single from dancey Boston duo Halston? Well, wait no longer, because their new single “CYN” has just made it’s debut.

The synthy flavor of this song is offset by band member Carlos Halston’s rapping debut. Giving me some serious “Wordy Rappinghood” vibes […]

The Viewfinder: Halston’s “Valentime’s Day”

Valentine’s Day is one of those days I’d rather not be bothered with sentiment, but when I heard this song by my favorites Halston celebrating the merits/acknowledging the hardships of the holiday, I felt a warm, fuzzy feeling creep up in my chest. Well, it turned out to be a pretty nasty case of the flu, but still, “Valentime’s Day” can now be added to the pantheon of great songs about the day that serves as a remembrance of the […]

Blerd’s Notes: A Comprehensive Guide to the Music of Duran Duran (Part 3)

1993’s self-titled opus marked the first phoenix-like rise from the ashes for Duran Duran. However, 1995’s Thank You firmly brought them back down to Earth. Despite it not being as bad as most people remember it being (at least in my opinion), it completely torpedoed Duran’s career. The fact that the band’s cast (which seemed to be firmly locked in for a time) was in flux once again also contributed to Duran’s freefall during the late Nineties and the early […]
