Spin Cycle: Black Light Burns, The Moment You Realize You’re Going To Fall
The best way to go into a Black Light Burns album is to forget all preconceived notions you may have about frontman/guitarist/mastermind Wes Borland. Don’t think of this as Limp Bizkit Mach Two. It’s not even Bigdumbface 2.0. Black Light Burns has always been something else. If you think of the one-off song by The Damning Well from the first Underworld soundtrack as the catalyst then you’ll be heading down the right track except BLB has manifested into so much […]
Spin Cycle: “Fear and The Nervous System”
O.K. – so rewind back to 2008 for a minute. I am in a limo with Raymond Herrera (Fear Factory), Billy Gould (Faith No More), Brooks Wackerman (Bad Religion) and James “Munky” Shaeffer (Korn) and we’re talking about all things music. James is working on his debut solo project and he tells me it’s called Fear and The Nervous System. I am completely stoked to hear how it’s all coming together and up to this point have assisted two of his other […]
Chart Stalker 7/20/11: Blake’s “Red River” Floats to the Top
Last week’s chart was so boring we went back into the wayback machine and rolled into 1991. Now it’s back to the present, and a chart that finds six new albums in the Top Ten, led by a country star and reality show judge. The most tangible (and immediate) success story from “The Voice” has to be Blake Shelton’s. The country singer scores his first ever chart-topper with Red River Blue. Blake is the first of the show’s judges (or […]
Chart Stalker 7/6/11: At the Halfway Point
First things first: this week’s chart brings good news and bad news. First-the good news. Beyonce acquits herself well with a chart-topping entry for 4. The R&B songstress’s latest effort starts at #1 on the pop and R&B album charts with 310,000 units. While it’s a little lower than the numbers that have greeted past efforts, if anyone considers a total north of 300,000 copies to be a failure or a disappointment, they’re seriously delusional. Bey is the biggest of […]
Blerd Radio Episode 6: How Far is Too Far?
Welcome to Blerd Radio Episode 6! Mike and Jesse had a lot on their minds following Episode 5’s lighthearted birthday celebration. Here are some of the things that get discussed. -Celebrities Losing Their Damn Fool Minds!: Tracy Morgan’s homophobic stand-up rant, Russell Crowe’s tirade against circumcision, Lupe Fiasco calling President Obama a terrorist and Congressman Wiener’s um…wiener?? Why do famous people fuck up so much? Or are we just paying more attention to them because they’re famous? -Sports: Mike talks […]
The New Improved Blerd Radio: Now with No Echo!
Not only has Jesse been a great addition to the Popblerd! staff, he’s also helped me revitalize the somewhat dormant Blerd Radio! (translation: I was a little too lazy to keep doing these myself.) Our first record was recorded last week, but fell victim to some serious audio issues; namely the fact that everything I said echoed. With audio issues fixed, we forged on ahead earlier this week and recorded a much more successful episode. Join Jesse and I as […]
New Release Report 9/14/10: The Floodgates Open
The last couple of weeks have been pretty quiet on the new release front. Well, folks, brace yourselves. ‘Cause there’s a TON of stuff coming out this Tuesday and for the next several Tuesdays. Let’s jump right into it, huh? Linkin Park occasionally gets lumped in with the whole nu-metal movement, which is kinda sad, because I think Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda have more musical talent in their pinkie fingers than Fred Durst has in his whole body. At […]
