The very existence of blink-182′s new EP, Dogs Eating Dogs, might be surprising for several reasons. For one, it was rather quietly released online the week before Christmas. For another, it’s the band’s first independent release since splitting from longtime label DGC/Interscope several months ago. But most surprising is that, in five songs across 19 furious minutes, Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker have finally delivered upon the promise of their most mature and affecting album, 2003′s self-titled effort. Their last full-length, 2011′s Neighborhoods , was […]

Metal Monday will be spending New Year’s Eve with the love of his life in Worcester, MA of all places. While not as extravagant as Vegas or NYC or some other exotic locale, Worcester is where Maryland’s Clutch will be simultaneously ending their 2012 and beginning their 2013. As luck would have it, I’ll be there to witness the glory (Show review coming later in the week). My love affair with Clutch began after seeing the video for “A Shogun […]

Part of me loves this time of year for the reflection aspect and another hates it because I know that there’s nothing new coming up for a while. I also hate having to trim my likes to a list but I guess you can’t like ‘em all, right? If you read Metal Monday, you may notice some similarities (Noticeably the top of the list) to my Tops over there and for that I don’t apologize. I like what I like. […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve been excited for anything on late night TV. Sure, Conan’s cool. Fallon’s OK, and I can hang with Letterman every now and then. But nothing has been the same since Arsenio Hall signed off in 1994, after a five year run that did much for the representation of urban culture on television. Guess what, boys and girls? Arsenio is back this September with a new talk show! Thanks to his success on the […]

There is a lot of great stoner metal coming out of the Boston area that people need to pay attention to. Gozu is one such band and their latest single “Bald Bull” off the forthcoming The Fury Of A Patient Man full length is sure to be proof of that. I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about Gozu beyond the fact that their last album, Locust Season , reminded me of Kyuss and completely kicked ass. Listening to the riff driven loveliness of “Bald Bull” with Marc […]

The other night Mr. Blerd himself, along with a few old friends, met over dinner to catch up on old times. We had a great time getting reacquainted with faces that haven’t seen each other in a few years. We ate, drank, laughed, and joked; you know, the usual filling in the gaps of the time spent away from one another. One of our friends raised a question that kind of stumbled me. She asked us to compare the responsibilities […]
