Muse The 2nd Law Album Video Trailer
Muse – The 2nd Law Album Trailer The 2nd Law. As in, the 2nd law of thermodynamics. What does this have to do with Muse? Well, true to their fashion, it’s something to do with conspiracy theories, energy, and politics, of course. It’s also the newly released title of their sixth studio album, which was exposed in video form on the sixth day of the sixth month (nicely played, Muse, nicely played). Being a diehard Muser (no shame), our breed […]

Actually, we were SO opinionated about music that we wanted to hear in 2012 that the end result […]
Chart Stalker 2/23/11: Love Those Grammys!
With the Grammy Awards achieving their highest ratings in a decade, it figures that this week’s Billboard Chart is one of the busiest in recent memory. Artists who performed on the show, won awards, and even artists that presented on the show have marked increases in sales. Of course, it helps when you not only perform on the show, but release a new album in the same week. Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never-Remixes bows on top of Billboard’s album chart […]
Popblerd!’s 2011 Grammy Preview: Rock
It’s the dinosaurs, y’all! Grammy’s rock categories typically tend to honor those who have attained a certain tenure in the industry. Grizzled vets get carte blanche, and if you’re an up and comer, you know you’ve been accepted into the rock establishment when the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences starts heaping little golden gramophones on your ass (i.e. Kings of Leon, Green Day, Foo Fighters, The White Stripes, etc.) This year’s most interesting category overall (to me) is […]
