The Popblerd Halftime Show: GG’s Best of 2012 So Far
My Popblerd brothers and sisters are putting together their top albums for the first half of 2012 . I’m throwing my hat into the ring. Much like my man Stephen , I don’t quite have a full list of 10, but I won’t steal his gimmick of writing up all my summaries in 140 characters or less. We’re going with a top 5. And let’s start from the bottom: 5. De La Soul – First Serve Yes, I know that this is more of a side project […]
The Viewfinder: B.o.B. feat. Taylor Swift, “Both Of Us”

Spin Cycle: Tech N9ne’s “All 6’s & 7’s”
A longtime, often-vaunted member of rap’s left-of-center underground, Tech N9ne has managed to forge a career out of being off the radar, of inspiring intense fan devotion (the Techn9cians even get their own affectionate name that sounds an awful lot cooler than Gleek or Juggalo), and of being gleefully, unapologetically off the wall. Those who can actually find a record store in their town may recognize Tech more from his album covers than his actual recorded output – his wild-eyed […]
Popblerd! Presents: Your 2011 Grammy Awards Live Blog (& Drinking Game)!

Some folks go crazy over the Academy Awards. Some folks go nuts over the Super Bowl. For me, unless a New York City team is in the World Series or Super Bowl, my most exciting pop culture event has to be the Grammy Awards. It intrigued me as a kid-it was probably the first award show I ever saw. I believe it was the 1980 ceremony, and all I remember is that The Doobie Brothers were performing, I was watching […]
Popblerd!’s 2011 Grammy Preview: Rap
Another year, another time to kvetch over the Grammy Award nominations, right? It may be music’s biggest night, but it’s hard to find a Grammy Awards that’s not fraught with controversy and/or boring as hell. The nomination process always results in head scratching decisions, and this year’s are no different. Katy Perry nominated for Album of the Year? Weird. Lady GaGa’s “Bad Romance” scratched off of the Record of the Year nominees? Uber-weird. No Lil Wayne nominations? Big Boi passed […]
Hear Here!: “Walk Away” by The Script (feat. B.o.B)
If I’d compiled a list of my favorite singles of 2010, The Script’s “Breakeven” would have easily finished Top 10, maybe Top 5. It’s entirely possible that people in my neighborhood unfortunate enough to leave their windows open are tired of me walking down the street squealing “I’m falling to peeeeeeeeee-ces” in a strained falsetto. The rest of the Irish band’s American debut album didn’t totally live up to the promise of that one song, but it was still a […]
Dear Grammy…
