Soulfly are back with a new album on October 1st. It’s called Savages and it’s the ninth banger from Max Cavalera and company. First single is ‘Bloodshed,’ and the lyric video for it is below. I’ll be honest – I haven’t really felt passionate about these guys since Dark Ages (2005), but like a little metal sheep – I’ve still followed along because these guys still shred and thrash like no one’s business. It sounds better the louder you play it, so […]

Moby, ‘A Case for Shame:’ The Viewfinder Review
So Moby is set to release his latest album, entitled innocents on October 1st. I dropped by his site today and found a video for the tune ‘a case for shame,’ featuring Cold Specks. It’s highlighted below. Listen – Moby’s coming off one of the best albums in recent years with 2011’s destroyed and he’s already collaborated with Mark Lanegan on a track for this new album. Cold Specks is a perfect vocal fit for Moby’s style of cinematic electronic music. […]
Nine Inch Nails, “Came Back Haunted”: The Viewfinder Review
Listen…I’m going to be excited for the new NIN album and tour simply because it’s Trent and I think he’s a visionary. This video comes from a highly touted director in David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Lost Highway). It’s, admittedly by the warning that precedes it, an epileptic’s worst nightmare. What to expect? A picture of girl, transposed beneath a spider rotating back and forth, a head’s on view of a shark with human teeth, a creepy play-dough face, and Trent’s […]
The Editors, “A Ton of Love”: The Viewfinder
The Editors are back for album number four – it’s called The Weight of Your Love and it’s out July 1st in the U.K. (unconfirmed if U.S. release in 7/2/13). A video for the first single, “A Ton of Love”, is below. Now – I’ve enjoyed the bands music more and more as time, and their discography, as evolved. I have to say I quite like this song, but not because the band has boldly forged in any new direction. I […]
David Bowie Shoots for the Moon in “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)” Video
In early January, we got the news from left field that David Bowie would be issuing his first album in a decade this Spring. My night owl lifestyle has paid off once again, as just moments ago Bowie’s YouTube channel posted a second video from the upcoming The Next Day LP. Whereas “Where Are We Now” harkened back to 1999’s …hours album (admittedly not one of my favorites), “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)” is more in line with Bowie’s two most recent albums, Heathen and Reality. And of […]
A-Sides With Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings
Psyched to be a part of the Blerd Team… Blerdy Blerd Blerd. Anyway… Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul, and always will be. Ditto for Michael Jackson and his King of Pop distinction. Sharon Jones made that abundantly clear in a recent “A-Sides” interview. Having said that, there’s still room for another queen in the worldwide music castle. Jones is the self-professed “Queen of Funk.” The lead singer of the appropriately named Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings is as […]
The Viewfinder: Kanye West Releases Controversial “Monster” Video
Months after leaked versions have started to surface on Youtube, camp Kanye has officially made public his “Monster” music video. Already besieged by controversy – this video is littered with dead white women, always a sore spot for mainstream America – this spot arrives with a brand-new disclaimer, and the knowledge that you can Google a bevy of articles and petitions pleading for its demise. The clip’s divisiveness can be discussed in the comments, of course; but quality is king, […]
The Viewfinder: Michael Jackson’s “One More Chance”
When the Santa Barbara police department issued a warrant for Michael Jackson’s arrest in 2003, the King of Pop was in Las Vegas shooting the video for “One More Chance”, the one new track from his compilation “Number Ones”. Up until now, my assumption was always that the clip had been left incomplete. Well…”One More Chance” is making it’s official debut next week as part of the new DVD box set “Vision”, and I can’t really say whether it was […]
