How do Pee Wee Herman and TV On The Radio fit into the same sentence, let alone on the same video screen?

The Viewfinder: Ne-Yo, “Lazy Love”
Ne-Yo returns with a new single, “Lazy Love,” which reminds me of…TV On The Radio?
bLISTerd Presents: Stephen’s Top 11 Albums of 2011
As someone who usually finds himself spinning the same couple dozen favorites over and over again, joining the Popblerd! team gave me new reason to leave my musical bubble and dive head first into the year’s new music. Needless to say, it was a wonderful experience. I ended up with over thirty albums all told in my final tally of the year’s best, but like any bad parent, I was able to pick favorites. So without further ado, here are […]
Spin Cycle: Jane’s Addiction’s “The Great Escape Artist”
Album Reviews / music / New Releases / pop culture / Pop Music / Release Dates / rock music / Spin Cycle / Videos
I had no expectations going into Jane’s Addictions latest, The Great Escape Artist. I thought 2003’s Strays was okay but other than a few standout tracks (“Just Because”, “True Nature”), the album didn’t really do too much to add to the legacy of JA. Cut to eight years later and we have their 4th album which is wholeheartedly the epitome of Jane’s Addiction in the 21st Century. It’s spiritual and mystical with a unique sound that stands above the rest. […]
Jane’s Addiction 2011
Perry, Dave, and Stephen are baaaaaaaack! I love Jane’s Addiction. I love Nothing’s Shocking, Ritual, even Strays. To say I am excited for the upcoming release in August would be an understatement. The group is iconic. Perry Farrell’s voice is unmistakable, Dave Navarro makes his guitar scream so good and Stephen Perkins can do it all behind the kit. Your first taste of The Great Escape Artist was just released and it sounds like Jane’s have found the magic again. […]
New Release Report 4/12/11: A “So Beautiful” List of Releases
After a bit of a hiccup, the surprisingly robust release schedule that’s been par for the course these past few weeks is back. If you’re a rock fan, you obviously know that the Foo Fighters’ Wasting Light hits stores today (reminder: we’ve reviewed it). This album reunites Butch Vig with Dave Grohl for the first time in nearly twenty years, reunites Dave Grohl with Krist Novocelic for the first time on record since Kurt Cobain’s suicide, and also reunites Pat […]
The Viewfinder: TV on the Radio’s “Will Do”
It’s taken me a bit of time to really appreciate TV on the Radio musically. Aesthetically, as a largely black band playing music that’s not traditionally “black”, they’ve intrigued me from jump. Ultimately, though, I thought Return to Cookie Mountain (which the music press completely jizzed over) was OK. I actually didn’t buy the follow up, Dear Science, when it came out, although a friend hooked me up with a copy and it was (to my ears) a pretty vast […]
Coming Attractions: Lenny, TVOTR & Kelly Clarkson
The past couple of weeks have brought forth the announcements of several upcoming albums. While you certainly know that Britney Spears and Lady GaGa have albums coming out this spring, and some of you may have even heard rumors about Madonna getting set to go through another album cycle, here are three records by popular artists that might score high on your “want” list and score different levels of excitement on my personal “want” list. Lenny Kravitz Black & White […]
