Nope, just a name change. There is some stuff recorded as Warsaw available out here I suggest you check it out.
Stereogum has become somewhat of a joke… Uncertainty if the writers are actually listening to the music and clearly them seeing any story about a legacy act and then posting it just because.
I’m going to guess that Buzzmedia is behind the direction of this site, more pandering and less celebration of music.
I love you Amrit…
““Ekki Múkk,” though, isn’t much like the Icelandic group’s best known songs — the types of songs that score Wes Anderson movies —”
Goddamnit Stereogum… I miss the old guys who actually listened to the music they were posting about.
How did all of you find this blog? This place has gone down hill with Corban and Tom. They have no taste in music, they like music just so they can tell others what bands/groups they like. Same goes with most people leaving comments, you will all go out and buy her albums on vinyl today and talk about how great she was.
She was just another voice, a great voice. But she made no contributions to music. Didn’t write, didn’t do anything unique, didn’t play instruments.
Maya Rudolph, also a former member of the Rentals.
If the Strokes + Marilyn Manson sounded like the Chameleons, then yes.
Portland based? Robin lives in Portland, all of the other members, offices, equipment reside in Seattle.
When you don’t have a soul, you tend not to have many expenses.
I strongly dislike Nickelback, I don’t want anyone to think otherwise.
I wouldn’t say the Black Keys are one of the last real rock bands. They’ve always had a very proper electric blues bent to them. And there are a lot of “real rock bands” out there. They are just well known acts. Actually, who eve knows what “rock band” means anymore. Bill Haley and the Comets were the first rock band, and thank god nobody sounds like that anymore. Rock and Roll has evolved to something perverted.
I’m a Black Keys fan, not a huge fan of the last two records. Live, those songs are great., just not a fan of how they were recorded. Huge fan of Auerbach’s solo record though.
“Rock & roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world,” he says, blowing cigarette smoke out the window of his rented East Village loft a few days before the band heads to L.A.”
Pretty pretentious.
Rob’s comment was hidden due to a low comment rating. Why can’t we downvote Tom and Corban’s posts so that they are hidden?
About the “Twin Towers 2(no fly zone)” song. The thought process on this song is on the same level as a five year old. At no point do they demonstrate understanding or anything that resembles a person that isn’t at risk of being shot dead at 24′s thought process.
“Dunkin, you’ll notice, was also tall as fuck, and he wore a chain with an iced-out Gumby and Pokey on it. He was cool. This sucks.”
What the fuck happened to this website?
One of my favorite albums of the year, sound wasn’t great in this video, “Union Sound” I presume. The Jools version was much better, for anybody that is intrigued.
That opening synth sequence, which New Order song is that from? And I just don’t mean that it is close, I mean that is the same sequence.
I really wanted to like this song, especially since it was described as “dark”. I don’t think she’s quite found what she wants to do, or she doesn’t have a soul. I would lean more towards her not quite having found her musical calling.
I miss when Stereogum use to post about real artists like Beyonce, Drake, and Rihanna.
Which is not to say lyrics have to be good, they just lack any sort of human emotion/experience.
Amen. This site is a hipsters wet dream now. Rihanna creates soulless derivative music so does Drake and Beyonce. Did anybody stop to listen to the lyrics of any of these? Narcissistic illiterate nonsense.
Does April 1st last several months? The writing has been appalling for the last several months. The new writers just really don’t think about music in the same way as our previous cast.
Absolutely one of the greatest albums ever.
” album is absolutely one that you should have on your iPod, ”
iPod? Really? Not own the LP or CD? Or say “have a download of”?
Yeah, I strongly disliked Beady Eye. Nothing sincere about that album.
I’m a big fan of the album, Noel Gallagher just hits the spot for me.
I once, accidentally, bought a Ra Ra Riot album instead of a Ratatat album. I was very disappointed and embarrassed for making the mistake.
Never gave to charity, ended Apple’s philanthropic when he took over again, and what Michael said. Guy was a dick.
And what did he contribute to technology? He sold mediocre ideas that people lapped up because they were wrapped in a shiny package or has a status symbol pricetag. Macs are horribly overpriced for what is on the inside, they upgrade their line much too slowly which retards the industry. They nickel and dime people to the poorhouse and advertise in hyperbole(which people actually believe). The iPad should not be the future of tablet computing(handwriting recognition or GTFO). iTunes… Fucking iTunes… Also, ‘OS’ has tried to kill actual computing and turn computers into netbooks that can do professional art, surf the internet, or nothing else at all.
Good things, the iPod classic is still the best portable music player around(despite not having support for nearly enough codecs). The audio latency on a Macbook “soundcard” is perfect for recording audio. Macbooks’s touchpad.
This will be the most downvoted comment of the week. Why is this post even on this site? Steve Jobs has done very little for music. Something to listen to music on, somewhere to legally buy music… Logic certainly was not his brainchild. Stereogum has gone way downhill since the departure of several writers and the arrival of two new writers. I didn’t ever like any of the music in Haunting the Chapel, but I liked to read the columns, and I really like a lot of bands written about on here, but I now hate reading the articles.
Godamnit Neil Young… one of the all-time great originals making this drivel.
