I love Chairlift up so high on here. They don’t get enough credit. Also I’m starting to wonder if I’m the only one who really got into “Hairdresser Blues,” the new Hunx solo album. That’s probably in my top 5 so far this year.
And finally, has anyone else heard “6 Volts” by Fred Eaglesmith? It’s just an excellent set of country songs. Definitely my most listened to so far this year.
So good for her? I guess?
Okay everybody! Get ready for my joke!!!
A lot of people are dead.
Just waiting for someone to be like, “gotta take stereogum off my bookmarks now” so I can go all, “YEAH TO MAKE ROOM FOR B’S TUMBLR”
The only way you could make Stereogum readers angrier is if you defended AND deconstructed Skrillex.
I don’t understand criticisms of this column’s existence. It makes arguments about music and asks you to respond. What about that is damaging to Stereogum’s credibility? What about that is so offensive it should be cut now? I don’t understand. I liked this one fine. I got to the end, and wasn’t totally sure what to take away from it, but oh well. I see little cause for outrage.
I loved Justin Vernon’s speech. I get the feeling that a lot of people in that room actually thought they were the best musicians in the world, and it was fun to see him kind of say, no you’re not. And he did that without being a dick. Definitely my favorite part of the show, though that’s not saying all that much.
Figured she would have to appease the people who hated “Stupid Hoe” (most people) with a track like this. But that’s fine, her mindless bubblegum is still better than most radio pop.
Honestly I was happy the whole night didn’t get bogged down with Whitney tributes. I thought they did the right amount of stuff for her, and yeah, about as much as they could have gotten together in the time they had anyway. Definitely don’t understand Tom’s outrage on that one.
Haha, at first I couldn’t tell if I should be outraged about that. I decided not to be. At least she plays guitar.

What did I Lana Del Say? Lana Del Stray (lolol) from talking about her. Nothing that has happened so far has anything to do with her.
Love Dave Grohl’s touching speech about learning to play an instrument and the human element of music, followed by LMFAO. #grammysbeingrammys
The point of this commercial is WILLIE NELSON LOVES BURRITO BOWLS. Me too, Willie.
It is way more fun to watch Chris Martin tumble and roll on the floor and stuff to “Every Teardrop”. Wish they were playing that one.
I sort of agree with you, but let’s not go there. Let’s Lana Del STRAY from that conversation tonight. (Get it? lol)
Hannibal Buress is live tweeting the Grammys without watching them. Go look, it’s super funny.
Those people cheering behind Jack Black had no idea how long he’d be talking for.

I’ve always liked the White Stripes and his other stuff, but none of it ever completely did it for me. That is painfully vague, I know, but I can’t put my finger on it. It varies song to song, but there was always enough missing from my reactions to most White Stripes songs to really consider myself a fan. The point is, this song is different, shows him going in a direction that I like more for him. It’s not better than plenty of White Stripes songs, but I’m now super excited to hear the rest of the album.
We like sportz and we don’t care who knows

I feel kinda dumb for this, but reading and then confirming that she has three albums was really bizarre. I know you basically say that in the post, but just to reiterate. That is weird.
Props for the civility of the discourse you’ve got going here. But I just think we disagree about the quality of non-album highlights, and the number of actual highlights. About half the album, to me, is choice as fuck (“Private Room,” “Say Goodbye Before You Leave,” “When You’re Gone,” “Your Love is Here To Stay,” “Always Forever” will all end up very high in my favorite songs of the year, I’m sure). And the other half is still strong, if not GREAT in all caps. That’s more than enough to put it in my top 5 at this point in the year.
