Two words I was fairly certain I would never see again: “New Bowie.” He hasn’t released any new music since 2003′s Reality. And aside from a very few one-off appearances, he’s pretty much evaded media attention since the closing of the Reality tour in 2004 (which incidentally, was the highest grossing tour that year). In fact, the last leg of the tour had to be canceled due to the discovery of a clogged artery that required an emergency angioplasty. That […]

I barely go out on New Year’s Eve. I did First Night in Boston like twice and froze my ass off. I’ve been to a bar or two but found them to be a bit overwhelming (Do I really have to pay a cover to a place I visit once a week?!?) and, of course, I’ve stayed in. The one thing I have never done is been to a show on New Year’s Eve so it’s fitting that my first […]

One of the most unassuming (and modest) guitar gods you’re likely to meet, Tim Sult took some time before Clutch’s New Year’s Eve extravaganza in Worcester, MA to chat with Popblerd about the bands upcoming album and the best part about being in Clutch today: Why was Worcester the best spot to end your 2012? Pretty much every year since we’ve been a band we’ve done an East Coast run at this time of the year. We never know […]

Good news: we have brand spankin’ new columns to go with our shiny new year! Drews and Don’ts is a new weekly endeavor, wherein our very own pop-culture-and-list-obsessive Andrew Ratliff writes a bite-sized list for everyone to enjoy and/or argue over. We’ve all experienced it before, albeit to different degrees: that immediate, gut-level reaction to hearing a fabulous song for the first time. “My lord!,” we exclaim, “this is a delight! I’ll cherish this song forever, and cannot envision a world […]
