No, this isn’t indicative of a full-scale album-length collaboration–although if it were, [...]]]> http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/the-singles-bar-gorillaz-feat-andre-3000-and-james-murphys-doyathing/feed/ 0 http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/the-singles-bar-gorillaz-feat-andre-3000-and-james-murphys-doyathing/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Popblerd/~3/1DLLKXI-aao/ http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/the-singles-bar-reverend-and-the-makers-bassline/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:01:49 +0000 Jesse http://popblerd.com/?p=14156 My love for Killing Joke is a rewarding experience. Just the other morning I saw a post about this band I knew nothing about, Reverend And The Makers , and was treated to their latest single “Bassline” from the upcoming @Reverend_Makers album. “Bassline” is a thumping dance track that’ll have you on your feet and hopping the second it kicks in. Kind of like the Happy Mondays on speed (Now THAT’S a scary thought!), Reverend create some compelling beats and rhythms with some crisp [...]]]> http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/the-singles-bar-reverend-and-the-makers-bassline/feed/ 0 http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/the-singles-bar-reverend-and-the-makers-bassline/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Popblerd/~3/VujxztQGSXw/ http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/dave-rullo-presents-aging-hip-replacement-34/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:00:42 +0000 Dave http://popblerd.com/?p=14232 Kurt Cobain would have turned 45 this week. Does he still represent my generation? Did he ever represent my generation? Jack Kerouac wrote in On the Road “the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across [...]]]> http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/dave-rullo-presents-aging-hip-replacement-34/feed/ 0 http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/dave-rullo-presents-aging-hip-replacement-34/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Popblerd/~3/_jftdLJqzIs/ http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/spin-cycle-baddies-build/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:30:44 +0000 Jesse http://popblerd.com/?p=14185 If Devo ever decide to call it day, Baddies is the band that the torch needs to be passed to. Part Devo (“Man Made Man”), part Queens of the Stone Age (“These Animals”), part Oingo Boingo (“The Lightmen”), UK’s Baddies are simply delightful and on Build, the band’s second full-length, they keep it delightfully simple. On the follow-up to Do the Job (Please tell me you’ve heard this record!), Baddies streamline their sound, keep it at a concise 10 tracks and [...]]]> http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/spin-cycle-baddies-build/feed/ 0 http://popblerd.com/2012/02/22/spin-cycle-baddies-build/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Popblerd/~3/fIl3Ykcw5xc/ http://popblerd.com/2012/02/21/the-idiot-box-homage-a-trois-musings-on-a-possible-community-porn-parody/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 23:26:42 +0000 Adam Lauver http://popblerd.com/?p=14192 http://popblerd.com/2012/02/21/the-idiot-box-homage-a-trois-musings-on-a-possible-community-porn-parody/feed/ 5 http://popblerd.com/2012/02/21/the-idiot-box-homage-a-trois-musings-on-a-possible-community-porn-parody/
