Perhaps she's saving a new album for the 10th anniversary instead of a half-baked song 🙃
Hmm I was under the impression that Cum Cake was a mixtape? But I know that designation means little nowadays... I'll adjust to make it a little more accurate!
Nope, he said something to that effect pretty recently, but I get the sense it'd be more on the production side and less on the writing side of things? Who knows. They're probably being purposefully obtuse/haven't really figured it out yet/are following their muses...
Ack, you're very right! Idk why I always think of it as their second... It was the second I listened to :/ fixed
Journalism is a public service! :)
I'm just jokin... :)
Indie rock died in 2009
this GIF is everything, thank you ((the simpsons ended after season 11))
It's their sophomore album -- their first release was a self-titled EP.
Yep, we've updated the post to reflect this (plus an official statement from SXSW that reiterates the same thing).
None of those artists are making it to the top of the Billboard chart twice though? Not sure I understand your comparison...
It's pretty good! Honestly it didn't grab me as much I was hoping that it would - sort of one of those things I enjoy while I'm listening to it but don't have much desire to go back to repeatedly - but it's certainly solid. The lyrics are good, very impressionistic.
Oh, it's completely meaningless! Did my utter lack of excitement not come across above? He could keep releasing a new album a week for months and they'd all shoot up to #1 and I'd be just as unimpressed. Popular artists sell no matter what.,
sorry i need my beauty sleep!! but yeah this vid is ... unreal... when i kill my enemies i hope i look that good
LOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRDDDDDEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she returns
Hello everybody!! :) Excited to spend this very exciting night with y'all
Hmm yeah good to know... I'm a little skeptical of who is actually behind the band but the music is good so whatever!
oh wow yeah i was afraid of doing this..... for good reason it turns out!!
arrrgh i typed up the whole thing myself :( of course i'd make a dumb mistake
saw a great band called Cadet Kelly at Aviv once... whatever happened to them?
that's the wrong one :( Vanessa Carlton already made her bid for the indie set a few years ago, and it was pretty okay!
Because Lorde is better. And I've heard the Japandroids album ;)
If anyone has any requests for the Stereogum Christmas Show playlist, let me know! Tryna stick to the classics but open to all suggestions :)
Oops! Copy and paste error. Fixed
Kississippi was on last year's list, bloc! C'mon, keep up :P It is very good, though.
There is! Tomorrow if all goes according to plan.
damn that was quick!! but same ^__^
stop, it hurts too much
It's not!! Just a technical glitch, hopefully will be sorted out soon.
tis my top secret DJ alter ego! i can't comment on anyone else's ;)
I understand the comparison, but no one asked for 9/11. Almost half the (voting) populace asked for Donald Trump. I agree that it's time to take action, but as a queer person it doesn't come as a surprise to me that half the country despises me, and I've been working. But interesting assertion that no one has died given all the police brutality we've seen this year alone...
Nah, gonna use my very small platform to encourage people to vote for the viable candidate who does not personally want me and every other marginalized person in this country to either not be here or live in fear for the rest of their lives. But thanks!
They just display as attributed to an artist called "-" -- I tried that when they all first came out.
Mothers were on last year's list.
As I stated in the intro and in a few comments down below, we don't take the parameters of this list that seriously, and obviously there's always going to be exclusions. Don't think I'd classify that as lazy! This list is just an excuse to give special attention to new(ish) music we've been excited about all year. No deeper than that...
