The Blerd13 with… Brett Detar!
Brett Detar has been a part of the modern music scene since 1996, including a nine year run with alternative/indie band The Juliana Theory, but after a decade in the rock and metalcore scene, Brett took a hiatus, returning in 2010 with his first solo album, Bird in the Tangle. Fans of his previous work, however, were in for a surprise. Brett’s return stems from classic country and folk roots, rather than the hard rock of before. I was able […]
Spin Cycle: Brett Detar’s “Bird in the Tangle”
The amazing thing about people (and musicians are, despite the rumors, also people) is that we are rarely static entities. Time and age have a funny way of sculpting our tastes and experiences, to the point that we may not even recognize ourselves in a decade or so.

Chartstalker 3/3/10: S.O.S.
Another week without a major new release leaves this week’s Billboard Album Chart looking a lot like last week’s Billboard Album chart.

Chartstalker 2/24/10: Featuring Wanda Sykes
So…hey everybody. Nothing came out last week! So, there’s not a helluva lot to report chart-wise. Sade holds for a second week at the top spot, scanning over 190,000 units of “Soldier of Love”. Following last week’s amazing debut, the venerable British band has sold nearly 700,000 copies of their first album in ten years-in two short weeks. Considering the previous week included Valentine’s Day-a time period during which a good deal of music is usually bought-just about every album […]
Konfusion & K-os!
Despite the fact that I pretty much despise everything MTV stands for these days, I’ve gotta give props to the network formerly known as “music television” for introducing me to a handful of artists over time. One such artist is K-os. I was watching the Sucker Free countdown on MTV2 a few years back when I saw the video for “Superstarr Pt. Zero”. Struck by how much the track reminded me of the true-school hip-hop that I love, I purchased […]
