Okay, I’ll admit it- I didn’t listen to a lot of music released this year. I can’t really explain why- I think partially it was because I was listening to some of the albums released last year still (because Sufjan Stevens’ Age of Adz is still my favorite from 2010), and the other reason is probably because I tend to procrastinate when it comes to buying/listening to new albums anyway. For example: Bon Iver’s self-titled release (which is on the […]

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 […]

Adele On Top Again & Chart Stalker Gets “Mormon”-ized!
Lady Gaga’s time at the top of the charts was pretty short. Born This Way slides to #2 this week, overtaken by the resilient Adele album 21. The British singer’s sophomore effort lands a 10th non-consecutive week at the top, scanning another 114,000 copies this week. Gaga takes the runner-up spot, with a shade over 100K sold. Award shows were a huge factor in this week’s chart. Aided by major wins at the Tony Awards, a physical release and some […]
Hear Here!: Coldplay’s “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall”
Chris Martin is the Rodney Dangerfield of contemporary rock music-the man gets no respect. Coldplay is arguably the biggest rock band in the world right now (certainly the biggest to emerge in the past decade), and the man still gets shit for everything from being somewhat obvious about his influences to his occasionally “wimpy” music to his kid’s name (although if Apple goes to public school, she needs a name change stat because the bullying will be MEGA.) Personally? I […]
Coldplay & George Michael Wish You a Very British Christmas
I suppose we’re now in the appropriate time period to be playing Christmas music. I personally have been there for about a week. I fired up Prince’s “Another Lonely Christmas” on the iPod (admittedly, not the most festive of tunes) the day after Thanksgiving, and I’m actively looking for a copy of the Salsoul Orchestra Christmas album online. With the spirit of the season slowly working it’s way through my body, I figured now would be the appropriate time to […]
