New Release Report 2/14/12: Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all you lovers! Most of you with plans today probably won’t see the inside of a record store (unless they sell chocolates or something,) and guess what: you don’t need to! After a few weeks when the releases were flying fast and furious, things slow down to a near-crawl this week with only a few notable albums hitting shelves. Note: Band of Horses and Band of Skulls are two separate bands. Band of Horses is an […]
Spin Cycle Plus!: The Staff Poptificates On Van Halen’s “A Different Kind Of Truth”
Mike D.: Some time ago – probably after Bob Dylan released Time Out of Mind – it became common for music pundits to slap their foreheads and declare that, you know, the newest album by a major pop/rock act previously viewed as past their prime actually isn’t so bad. Koomdogg: After a month of previews and slow reveals, Van Halen’s A Different Kind of Truth is finally out. Jay: Considering it’s been 14 years since their last album (and that album was VH III, which […]
New Release Report 2/7/11: Van Halen, McCartney? What Year Is It?
Now, this is what I’m talking about. It’s less than a week until the Grammys, Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and I’m getting ready for my first legitimate trip to a record store to buy new music in 2012. Lots of stuff happening this week, boys and girls, so rev your engines and let’s get started. Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for all of 2012 so far, you are well aware that A Different Kind of Truth, […]
New Release Report 1/31/12: Lana Del Tuesday
Hard to believe we’re already wrapping up the first month of 2012. As we’re all paying our rent checks and upping our monthly bus and train passes, there are a few noteworthy releases that you might want to check out during your travels. Who’s Lana Del Rey? I’m still trying to figure that out myself. Whether she’s a well-connected fraud, a junior GaGa or just a random chick trying to get famous (or all three) there’s no doubt that the […]
Blerd Radio Is Back: Season 2, Episode 1
It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t have left you…yeah, we’ve been there before, haven’t we? Well, we were gone for two whole months-encompassing most of the holiday season. But we’re back and we don’t intend on leaving you again anytime soon. In this episode, Mike and Jesse atone for their absence (again) but hit the ground running.

New Release Report 1/17/12:…and We’re Back!
In the music industry, January is the time when everyone is rubbing sleep from their eyes, at least in terms of new releases. This month is typically a wasteland for new music, and 2012 is no exception, at least in terms of major releases. There is a sprinkling of albums hitting stores (and online outlets) this week so let’s take a look at some of the more interesting names… Have you guys checked out our review of the new Guided By Voices album?

The Singles Bar (Sort Of): The Darcys Cover Steely Dan’s “Josie”
If you’re gonna remake a song, you might as well make it enough of a departure from the original song that people find it interesting, right? Canadian band The Darcys didn’t have a problem making their cover of Steely Dan’s “Josie” interesting, that’s for sure. Their version, which is available for free download on their website right now, darkens the Dan’s original quite a bit. Of course, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker always had a sinister element to their songs, but the slowed down, mysterious […]
The Viewfinder: Murder Mystery’s “I Am (If You Are)”
Brooklyn-based quartet Murder Mystery are set to release their new EP Problems this month. The band has been recording tracks over the last few years, but until now hasn’t issued a formal release. These 6 all-new tracks have the band working through their breezy brand of indie-pop that is at once toe-tapping and sentimental. And HEY! This week only, you can get the Problems EP for $2 at www.groopease.com . You can’t beat that! Check out the video for the lead single, “I […]
