Billy Corgan doesn’t feature in our latest podcast (much), but this photo was too good to pass up.

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. There’s some Super Bowl news, some Oscar nominations news. We defend Nickelback (sort of), anticipate the new Van Halen album, watch Elton […]

Tim McGraw’s new one, “Emotional Traffic”, is out today-one of many new releases this week.
It Takes Quite a “Commitment” to Enjoy Seal’s Latest Album
Full Force one sang that love is for suckers, and while I’ll leave the explanation behind that statement to Bowlegged Lou and Paul Anthony, I will say that definitive proof exists of one thing: falling in love can definitely fuck with your music. Case in point: one Sealhenry Samuel. Once best known for the Grammy-winning hit “Kiss From a Rose” (or his collection of facial markings), Seal is now best known for being Mr. Heidi Klum. And while we should […]
Chart Chat 10/27/10: There’s Something Sweet at the Top of the Chart This Week
The country onslaught continues! Sugarland scores this week’s #1 album with their latest effort, “The Incredible Machine”. The duo’s sound, which mixes traditional country with a more streamlined, arena pop-rock sound, was enough to impress 203,000 folks. Not bad, huh? The top four positions on this week’s Billboard chart are all new entries. Kings of Leon score the biggest debut in their history with “Come Around Sundown”. The band’s fifth effort scores a total of 184,000 units-more than double the […]

Guess what type of music people are still buying? Ding Ding Ding!! Country music! Kenny Chesney becomes the second straight country act to debut at #1 on the national Billboard charts. His latest effort, “Hemingway’s Whiskey”, starts with 183,000 units. It replaces Zac Brown Band’s “You Get What You Give” at the top of the chart. The Grammy winning band’s sophomore effort slides two spots to #3 this week. Guess what other type of music people are apparently still buying? […]
New Release Report 9/28/10: Walking Down “Lonely Avenue” with Ben Folds
When I saw Ben Folds in concert earlier this year, he noted that the album he’d been working on with British author Nick Hornby had been completed, and I was super intrigued. I’m a pretty major Folds fan, and “High Fidelity” has long been on the list of my favorite books and films (and I also picked up “Long Way Down” over the summer…it was a great read). The one song that Folds played from the collaboration that night was […]
“Secret”: Back to the Seal We Know & Love
Although Seal is better known these days as Mr. Heidi Klum, he’s got a lengthy track record of great music (including his near-perfect eponymous 1994 album). Over the last couple of years, he’s made a regrettable foray into electro-pop (with the Stuart Price-produced “System”) and also produced a commercially successful but artistically lacking covers album entitled “Soul”. Thankfully, with the release of the new single and video “Secret”, it looks like the best version of Seal has returned. Hearing that […]
