"For aeons this was the only one I was missing, but I finally figured out a good (ok, cheap) way to do it. If you exit to the menu (save), then re-enter the game, it always pauses for a few seconds to let you get your bearings before lowering the blocks again (and expanding poison blocks). You can make a few moves, then save and re-enter again, and you'll once again have a few seconds leeway. It kind of trivializes the game, mind you..."

As pointed out by SnapDragon there is a way to EASILY get the brick grinder achievement, I'll go into more detail here. This is so fool-proof that I guarantee you can do this on your first attempt. Basically all you have to do is play the game until you get to where you are having some trouble, maybe around 17 or so, without using your SUPA weapon. When you get to this point and the bricks are starting to get low and the poisons are filling the screen and you are all like CRAP!!! NOT AGAIN!!! Just follow these steps:
1) push start
2) scroll to the "Main Menu" option and push A
3) when you are at the Main Menu press CLASSIC MODE
4) it will ask if you wish to continue (the game you just left) press A for YES
5) you are back in the game you just quit out of but now you have no poisons spawning and you also have a 1-2 second leeway period to get back into the game
During this 1-2 second period just look at the screen and memorize a certain move to help you out to raise the bricks, don't do the move immediately, remember you only have 1-2 seconds before the bricks fall again. So after looking and memorizing for 1 second pause the game again and follow the steps above. When you are back in the game do the move you memorized and let the bricks finish their cycle (they pop and then they raise, by this I mean say you pop 4 blue bricks in a single row and a red brick is underneath those blue bricks before you pop them, let the red brick raise to fill its space, if you do not do this then when you follow the steps again those 4 blue bricks will still be there). Just as soon as the bricks finish their cycle pause the game again and follow the steps again. Next time memorizing a move repeat do the move repeat memorize .
By following this method this method I was able to get two FULL COLUMNS on both the left and right side, ALL THE WAY DOWN, I was able to clear every brick in those columns following this method about 30 or 40 times.
Needless to say I DID get the achievement. One thing I encountered was that I had to complete level 33 (the first level with teal bricks) in order to get the achievement, I advise you to play through level 33 (get to level 34).
If you have any more questions, just ask. And remember, I've followed this method and it REALLY does work! BRICK GRINDER FOR ALL!!! Again I'd like to thank SnapDragon for advising me on how to get this achievement.
