Though we live on the US dollar, you and me we got our own sense of time.

Motto o the summer, 2013

Thankful to be hearing this for the first time. Also thankful that nobody can see me jumping around the living room. Thank you, savages. Thank you, windows shades

Thank you for your willingness to share your own experiences, Amrit. It’s so important to think about this kind of hate in context. It doesn’t just exist as a madman killing free Americans who were practicing their faith, but also – and maybe to a lesser extent, but still – as kids ostracising a classmate for wearing a jura or a turban or a yarmulke or anything else. Or as people shouting “terrorist” at others in the months after 9/11.

This attack itself was chilling, but reading about this guy’s connections to the hate music scene was disturbing in a much more subtle way. I think we’re all here because we understand and appreciate the power of music, and it is deeply disturbing to think about that power being used as a conduit for hate. The thought that kids experiencing feelings of rebellion are pulled into the white supremacist scene by the music is really unsettling, because we all know how music can hit you at your core and channel your emotions. It’s a scary thought that music like this man’s is out there using that to lead people into hate.

I don’t know what I’m trying to say here, but I’m glad that there is a forum like this where we can discuss these things and have some healthy debate about music as a medium for positive change. Stereogummers have their disagreements and all, but hopefully always toward the end of exchanging ideas in a positive way.

This headline might as well read “New Chocolate Cake Only Available as Smell” or “New Sexual Position Only Available as Idea.”

I could go do this all day.

Yeah. The nineties.

Knowing what their shows are like, that’s real. I mean, we all get wood when they play Tin Man, yes?

Just get outta there in time to catch Sugar Ray on the Middle Age Sadness stage. Watch the singer for highlight pointers!

Fuck.

Isn’t that what you said to Paul after The Long and Winding Road? Stop sowing discord, Yoko!

So what you’re saying, in summary, is Get Off This.

“happy birthday, Paul McCartney. I LOVE you!” I love how the inflection in her voice on that. So genuine and hilarious.

 +5Posted on Jun 18th, 2012 | re: Paul McCartney Turns 70 (30 comments)

I’d like to see a McCartney-Roots collab, because those guys are just such music nerds that it would be so much fun to watch them enjoy the hell out of it

Seems like the shot of Drake in a wheelchair really has legs – been floating around for years.

Am I the only one who gets chills when they play “House that Heaven Built”?

A car company tried to do the same thing to Waits. They used a soundalike of “Innocent When You Dream,” and he won the suit, saying they must have thought the lyrics were “Innocent When You Sceme.”

In fairness though, “Step Right Up” always made me hungry for the nacho cheese nutrition of Doritos.

White Butler will be so into it.

Agreed. I wouldn’t sleep on AC this year – especially if they’re returning to a Feels-type style. That album was pretty damn great.

Grizbear + centipede are going to form like Voltron as a giant 100 legged bear headed beast that will consume John Mayer and Katy Perry and leave gorgeous music in its wake.

Shit is gonna be serious.

Careful, man. Phil Collins is a national treasure. The man made Sussudio.

Ok, so DMB vs. Tyler.

Head. Exploded.
