Drews & Don’ts: The Top 7 Great Unheralded Albums By Oft-Heralded Artists
Every Wednesday, music nerd and serial list-maker Drew brings you a small, highly specific, pop culture-related list to either enjoy or inspire debate. He remains the only Popblerd staffer pretentious enough to name a column after himself. First things first: these aren’t necessarily the most underrated albums of all time. That’s a different column for a different day, and for my money, would probably be populated with a fairly tiresome amount of Boston bands (still the liveliest music city I’ve […]
Kenna, “Gloria”: The Singles Bar Review
Kenna has this place in my heart where he can do no wrong. Everything he does is, quite simply, beautiful. The only downside of Kenna is that he isn’t more well known than he obviously should be and that his lapses between releases leaves fans wanting, no needing, more. But when it comes to Kenna releasing new music you just need to remember: Absence makes the heart grow fonder! If you treat each new Kenna release like a celebration then […]

Spin Cycle: Joseph Arthur’s “Redemption City”
Joseph Arthur is a prolific mad genius. Like contemporaries Ryan Adams and Robert Pollard, Arthur is a man who simply can’t seem to help making music. He once described songs that made up the four EPs he released in 2008 as “strange animals in a cosmic cage begging for release”; he released an album a scant seven months ago; and now, seemingly out of nowhere, he’s dumped Redemption City on his devoted fanbase as a free digital download, and surprisingly to […]
