I always get anxious when Amrit, Brandon, and I are on a plane at the same time. I think that’s only happened once before. Fortunately, we now have Jessica holding down Stereogum’s Brooklyn HQ (and Gabe continuing to kill it over on Videogum) while the three of us discover bands (maybe your band!) and tacos (Amrit is in charge of tacos!) at SXSW tonight through Sunday. While I pack, please enjoy this short Chatroulette-inspired (the meme’s not over, no) reel featuring some of Stereogum’s favorite musicians and a few stray penises (you’ve been warned). I shot all the concert footage you’ll see in this video; I’m glad to have finally found a use for it. Against all odds, Stereogum has come a long way since SXSW ’06 (this dude knows what I’m talkin’ ’bout) and this year will be our best yet. Probably! Thanks to the brilliant editor/producer Sam Carroll for working with me on this for the past few weeks, in the process spending more hours on Chatroulette than is healthy. (Zero hours on Chatroulette is the ideal.)
See you in Austin.

not to seem ignorant, but what was the song after the delorean jam
Surfer Blood – “Take it Easy”, great song
This is awesome, Scott!
This definitely makes me want to comment on Stereogum more!

Enjoyed the video, but I gotta say–this huge AT&T ad is most annoying and hideous piece of code I’ve ever seen on a web site. I’ve seen ads fill site’s backgrounds before, but I’ve never seen the entire background of a web site hyperlinked to the ad’s page. I’ve clicked on the ad accidentally 4 times now, and I’m sure it’s making the advertisers happy, but it’s just a foul trick on your readers.
seriously, this full page ad shit is annoying as fuck. i thought one of the new stipulations was less of this crap? i too have clicked on the ad multiple times now on accident and i hate knowing i have somehow in some way supported the fucking terrible terrible service that is at&t. not cool stereogum. wise up.
Working on it!
Just wanna roll like a VIP
Free Stone and Tacos? Best week ever.
Hmmm Zack, get over it… you know you have an iPhone. learn how to use a computer or go live in a barn if you dont want to support corporate america.
definitely don’t have an iphone. nice try though. and i clearly stated i clicked on it by accident, not knowing that pretty much everything that isn’t in the center of the page is an ad. sorry i strive for a little more for what has been one of my favorite blogs for almost a good 3 years.
this rules!
Nice, Scott! Also love the fresh design and that you guys are taking risks and trying new things.
Thanks Adam!
This is badass. Scott you have a bright future in vid editing with penis flashing. Was that pdiddy at the end? Was that pdiddy’s penis in the beginning?
I learned it by watching you.
I have a picture of Diddy & Amrit from 2006. Remind me to send to you. So funny.
That’s a lot of dicks for one commercial! (And all the penis shots too.) Nice design. Impressive.
You and Elizabeth both probably wanted more dick shots. Nice icon.
you know way too much about chat roulette. awesome.
Not enough wang. I was expecting more wang.
