Checking In With Kanye's Coolhunting Blog

Since losing the great Beyonce Connect Four tourney, Kanye's been blogging his ass off. A lot! Maybe he should write for the new Gawker? In a particularly inspired passage he plugs fancy stone-shaped French furniture Livingstones (groan).

hot rocks

I love these... if you have a place 2 put them cleanly...don't put these right next to a 6 year old Ikea coffee table with a stack of 30 magazines and some hard back books with the old paper covers still on em which, sidebar, should have been removed ....with a half empty Jamba juice cup that your thoughtful friends must've felt added 2 the decor rather than throwing it in the fucking trash.
So if you rock cheap, Swedish furniture -- and Dwele's always leaving garbage strewn about -- not for you! Kanye's other favorite things to blog about: sneakers, iPod accessories, and expensive booze. We also get a look at a still from the "Flashing Lights" vid.

Kanye After Dark

He doesn't blog much about it, except that it was shot in Denmark (or at least that's where the producer is/Kanye just was). Looks like Marissa Nadler's "Bird On Your Grave," though presumably with more Bathing Ape.

Meh. He's still a douche. His blogging is as retarded as his raps.

does he think he can appropriate some of Prince's funkiness by replacing words with numbers? please. That just makes you fuckin unintelligible.

Band To Watch: Hospital Ships

As we pass saturation point for press coverage of Montreal, Portland, Brooklyn and et cetera, it seems Lawrence, Kansas is poised for its coming turn in the music media trend piece carousel. At least from what we're hearing; this marks...

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...

Video Hangover: Papa Roach - "Getting Away With Murder"

Damien Jurado - "Murderer" (Low Cover)

After hearing "Gillian Was A Horse" from Damien Jurado's forthcoming Caught In The Trees, we contacted the Seattle singer-songwriter and asked if he'd want to premiere a track at Stereogum. Lucky for us (and you), it turned out he had...
