The Best of ‘Chimes of Freedom’: A Spotify Playlist
by Eric Garneau

A few weeks ago Amnesty International released the massive 4-disc tribute album Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International. This record, which contains new or new-ish recordings of Dylan classics by artists as diverse as Adele, Ke$ha, Johnny Cash and My Chemical Romance, certainly does not skimp on talent.  read more

Top 5 Songs of 2011
by Nerdy Nothings

2011. Aren’t we supposed to be colonizing space and flying around in hover cars? But instead we’re still down here on lowly Earth making top 5 lists. I know, I know, less chin-wag more tunes: here are each of the staff’s top 5 tunes of the year. Let us know what we missed in the  read more

Gig Posters: Volume 2
by Eric Garneau

I must confess that before I sat down to read Gig Posters: Volume 2, that particular art form confounded me a bit. I didn’t really understand the idea behind most gig posters I saw, which seemed to be total non-sequiturs when compared with the band being promoted by the work (“what does this picture of  read more

Bruce Springsteen: Wrecking Ball
by Eric Garneau

Presadona: Filling the Void
by Eric Garneau

Presadona has a unique relationship with Nerdy Nothings. Their song “Back & Forth Forever” has provided the intro music to our podcast since the first episode. We even got the band to record an episode of that podcast, though it’s sadly been lost to the ages due to mangled audio. Clearly we know and like  read more

The Lonely Island: Turtleneck & Chain
by Eric Garneau

I’m torn on how to review the new Lonely Island record. On the one hand, as a comedy album, its value depends entirely on whether or not it’s funny, and comedy is a very subjective thing. On the other hand, that doesn’t make for a very good article, and I think it’s interesting to look  read more

The Cars: Move Like This
by Eric Garneau

To decide if Move Like This was an album I even wanted to listen to, I first read the A.V. Club’s review of it this morning. Because of that, my impression of the record has probably been colored by reviewer Steven Hyden’s opinion. That said, I pretty much agree with him and I want to  read more
