Blerd Radio 2015 | Episode 13: Another Hall of Fame-Cast
Hello and welcome to another episode of Blerd Radio! In 2013 and 2014, we took time to talk about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, its induction process, and that year’s crop of nominees. While there was talk about retiring the Hall of Fame-cast this year, 2015’s crop of nominees resulted in some of our most spirited conversation to date. Of course it helps that the gang’s all here: so join myself ( Big Money ), Dr. Z , Michael Parr and Mike Cunningham The Packet Man for an episode […]

Note for Note: A Complete Guide to the Discography of New Order
Following the death of Ian Curtis, the remaining members of Joy Division decided to embark on an entirely new project, although it would take some time for the group to find its own voice. Formed in 1980, New Order augmented the trio of Sumner (guitar, vocals), Hook (bass), and Morris with keyboardist Gillian Gilbert (Morris’ then-girlfriend and now-wife).

Well, if you’re looking for a record-release bonanza to follow your gluttonous intake of grilled goods yesterday…you might want to look elsewhere.

If anyone has anything to say about the fact that I quoted Fall Out Boy in the title of today’s column, the comments area is below. At any rate, this […]
George Michael’s “True Faith”: A List of Pros & Cons
Hmm. This is the only way I see fit to discuss the way I feel about George Michael’s cover of New Order’s “True Faith” and it’s video. Pros: It’s George Michael (who’s usually awesome), the new arrangement is certainly adventurous, George is looking quite healthy these days, so hopefully he’s off of everything (with the possible exception of the chronic), the song is a charity release. It might also herald the release of a new album and quite possibly a […]
From “Faith” to “True Faith”: George Michael Releasing New Single
British pop star George Michael has largely stayed out of the spotlight following his release from prison last year. The first rumblings to come from his camp came towards the end of last year in the form of a remixed holiday tune. This year’s Faith reissue has come and gone with next to no publicity from George himself. George, who releases and promotes material at his own damn pace, was largely MIA and fans (like me) have been chomping at […]
