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. While there was talk about retiring the Hall of Fame-cast this year, 2015’s crop of nominees resulted in some of our most spirited conversation to date. Of course it helps that the gang’s all here: so join myself ( Big Money ), Dr. Z , Michael Parr and Mike Cunningham The Packet Man for an episode […]

2013, A Collection: A Few Favorites from the Year that Was
I wish there was a pattern to this, sometimes. I wish there was an easy explanation for what I like and don’t like. It was so easy in high school. I wore flannels and liked something called “grunge”, until I decided it was more fun to wear all black and like everything that fell under the hindsightedly ridiculous moniker of “industrial”. There was a formula then. It was easy then. Not so much, now. Here are ten albums, my favorites […]
Nine Inch Nails, Hesitation Marks: Album Review
The beautiful thing about Hesitation Marks, the latest offering from Trent Reznor, is that it is a Nine Inch Nails album without any expectations because it literally appeared out of thin air about 2 months ago. Being a completely unexpected album means it can be NIN’s most experimental yet. They could go pop (“Everything”), industrial (“Came Back Haunted”), electronica (“Disappointed”)….hell, they could even do dubstep if Reznor willed it (Thankfully they didn’t go that route). Like Reznor says during the […]
Nine Inch Nails, ‘Copy of A:’ The Singles Bar Review
If ‘ Came Back Haunted ,’ was the bombastic opening single in advance of NIN’s seventh studio album, then ‘Copy of A,’ flirts with the band’s beginnings and minimalist tendencies. The latter’s studio version recently ‘leaked,’ to the internet the other day and we’ve had it on repeat for the better part of the last 48 hours. We’re now less than one month out from the release of Hesitation Marks and if the online fervor and recent festival performances haven’t gotten die-hard’s into a […]
Nine Inch Nails, “Came Back Haunted”: The Viewfinder Review
Listen…I’m going to be excited for the new NIN album and tour simply because it’s Trent and I think he’s a visionary. This video comes from a highly touted director in David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Lost Highway). It’s, admittedly by the warning that precedes it, an epileptic’s worst nightmare. What to expect? A picture of girl, transposed beneath a spider rotating back and forth, a head’s on view of a shark with human teeth, a creepy play-dough face, and Trent’s […]
Nine Inch Nails, “Came Back Haunted”: The Singles Bar Review
And Pretty Hate Machine mach 2 is in full effect. I might be in the Blerd minority when I admit that I am ridiculously excited for new NIN material. The last proper studio album, Year Zero, was incredible but this takes the cake. “Came Back Haunted” is the supah skrit first single from Nine Inch Nails’ forthcoming new album, Hesitation Marks, due on September 3rd and it is this glorious synth/electro driven banger in the vein of, yeah, Pretty Fuckin’ […]
