Blerd Radio Presents The Jheri Curl Chronicles Podcast (Episode 10)

Blerd Radio Presents: The Jheri Curl Chronicles Podcast (Episode 9)

We’re ringing out 1982 in the latest episode of the Jheri Curl Chronicles podcast. Me and Thomas Inskeep decided to deviate slightly from our 5-songs-at-a-time format last episode so as not to end on a bad Richard “Dimples” Fields-related note. In the interest of…symmetry (I guess?) we decided to complete the year we started in Episode 8, and deliver the last 7 number 1 R&B tracks of the year.

Happy Birthday America!: Billboard Gives Us the 10 Worst National Anthem Performances Ever!!

Oh, United States of America. 234 years old on Sunday and you don’t look a day over 233!! Look, we all know that “The Star Spangled Banner” is a difficult song to sing. Add in the jitters you get from having to perform it live before a full stadium (usually acapella), and it’s a surprise there aren’t even MORE shitty versions of our National Anthem out there.
