Good bands have always produced crappy imitators. It’s never seemed fair to me to judge a band/musician by some subsequent band/musician who tried to copy some aspect of their sound (and maybe did so poorly).

Although I did find that funny…

Maybe it was actually @davegrohl, the college kid from Germany, who hooked up with Frances Bean. Did anyone ever consider that? This is probably just one big twitter-handle misunderstanding.

I upvote commenters what that sort of vocabulary.

Damn, JAM Murray, you beat me to it.

“Freak monkeys with mediocre tunes keeps you busy and focused by lightness” sounds like it could have been a lyric from OK Computer.

I usually try to avoid downvotes by not calling people assholes or cunts or talking about shitting on their chests. But then again, I probably care too much about what other people think about me.

From that still, I at first though this video started Matt Berninger.

Hey, Stereogum: you should advertise the Gummy awards a bit more prominently on your site. I only saw a couple of posts about them, and I feel like if folks didn’t check the site on those particular days (I think the first post was right around Thanksgiving — lots of people traveling) they might have missed it. I know one year the Gummy voting came and went without me noticing and I was saddened to miss out on the democratic process. Just a humble suggestion from a big fan of year-end lists….

Yeah, is it just me, or was there supposed to be a nipple there?

It’s ironic that this article is in the “Where’s The Beef?” column. I think Axl could tell you where it is.

I always thought Amber Coffman was cute. But when the DP’s came to town and I saw her do that adorable little dance during Stillness is the Move, I fell in love. Hard. And that voice, my God.

Don’t criticize Adam because he knows how to count.

Is it just me or does Isaac Brock look like Gerard Butler in these pictures?

As an aside, I love that cover photo.
