Blerd Radio 2015 | Episode 13: Another Hall of Fame-Cast

Hello and welcome to another episode of Blerd Radio! In 2013 and 2014, we took time to talk about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, its induction process, and that year’s crop of nominees.

Lollapalooza Announces 2012 Lineup

In the twenty-plus years since it’s inception, Lollapalooza has transformed from a traveling road show to a 3-day extravaganza in Chicago. This year’s lineup features an appealing mix of veterans (many returning for their second or third tour of duty at Lolla) and newcomers, with dance music (which has suddenly become all the rage) represented more strongly than ever.

Spin Cycle: Relient K’s “Is For Karaoke”

Hard as it may be to throw together a good covers album – lest we forget the recent debacle of Puddle of Mudd’s unholy, mind-meltingly awful Re:(disc)overed  – it’s difficult to argue that, at least within the realm of rock music, bands that perform in the pop-punk style have the best shot at album-length success.
