On the 93rd episode of the PopFiler Podcast, the friends discuss Secondhand Rapture by MS MR, Zack Stone is Gonna Be Famous and Crimewave. There’s a lot of yelling. And a lot of love. But mostly yelling and screaming. Lots of the screaming.
Secondhand Rapture MS MR Hello and welcome to another installment of #MusicReview. I will be your host for the article, Jason R. Noble. It is a tricky thing when you review a debut album from a band. When you review a pilot or directorial debut, you have a lot of questions about potential. Will the [...]
This week, the terrible twosome of three decide that they are upset that Rush got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and wonder if there are other bands who were more deserving. They wonder in a countdown-like fashion.
On this episode of the PopFilter Podcast, the friends talk about “Everybody Loves Sausages” by The Melvins, Hemlock Grove, and “Definitely Maybe” by Oasis. They then realize how old they have gotten and stab themselves in the eyes. It doesn’t get as loud as you would expect.
In Case You Missed It Ghost on Ghost by Iron and Wine About three weeks ago, there was a glut of albums that came out that all peaked my interest for various reasons. When I heard that Iron and Wine was one of those albums, however, I got very excited. I have loved the way [...]

Suuns Images Du Futur Hello everyone. I have started this review five separate times now. Every time I start, I get about three sentences in and then have to decide on something else to say. To call Suuns confounding is putting it mildly. The band is weird. The band is different. The band is a [...]

In this episode of the PopFilter Podcast, the friends can’t stop giggling over the fact that it’s number 69. Literally nothing get’s discussed except juvenile jokes about said number. It’s absurd.

An episode everyone can get behind, in which Jason, Mike and Ryan solve world hunger.

But they do discuss Neil Young and Crazy Horse- [...]

The friends finally stumble upon topics that make them yell at each other. Not politics or religion, but male strippers and cartoons from the 90′s light them up and have them at each other’s throats. Shiny Toy Guns- III, Magic Mike and Animaniacs all get their due. If you think the episode is heated, you [...]
I MISS MY MTV 80′s FLASHBACK SOFT CELL- TAINTED LOVE If you were an 80’s band that covered a sixties hit, and wanted to make a video to you you’re newer, darker version of the song,–what’s the obvious route to go? A GrecoRoman/Victorian/Preppy theme of course! You’re going to want to just mash different time [...]
