NAME: Phoenix PROGRESS REPORT: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, out in Spring 2009. Recorded at Philippe Zdar's studio in Montmartre, Paris. "Fast and intense" is how Phoenix's lead singer Thomas Mars describes the band's next record. The Paris-based foursome are men of...

As we've mentioned in the past (2007), Robert Schneider's not afraid of the graceful sellout. So, no, we're not surprised that he and his E6 cohorts just scored a Pepsi commercial. (Heck, we already knew how much E6-related bands loved...

Morrissey's ninth solo album is one of those collections that leaked in fits and starts via live performances and singles and the like that by the time we took it in from "Something Is Squeezing My Skull" through "I'm OK...

Cold Cave is the brainchild of Philadelphia's Wesley Eisold, ex-Some Girls, Give Up The Ghost, XO Skeletons, and currently Ye Olde Maids, etc. We're calling his newest project a Band To Watch, but Eisold received some high-profile press when Fall...

In February, New York BTW the Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are releasing their self-titled full-length collection of jangly, noisy indie pop on the most fitting of labels, Slumberland. We recently posted the video for album track "Everything For...

Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment's virtual...

We thought it would be wise (and witty) to start the New Year with the New Year, so this week's Drop finds the post-Bedhead Kadane brothers-fronted Touch & Go quintet offering up "MMV," a suitably thematic track from their excellent...

VELVET REVOLVER?!! To cover Tears in Heaven? Tell me ain't true! Someone!
Score = 0
Def--fen- Defenest--huh??
Anyway, I'm wondering who's going to take on (and most probably over-sing) the "...Have you beggin' please, beggin' pleeeeease" line.
Score = 0
aw what, no fiddy cent OR lil john. Wot is the world coming to. OH YEAAAAHHHH
Score = 0
this is sure to be the most ear-piercing cover of a song in history. they couldn't get cyndi lauper?
Score = 0
Defenestrated? Look at the big brains on Brad! Nicely done, sir!
Score = 0
this is a hoax right ... h-o-k-s, hoax?
Score = 0
no matter when/in what context i hear "defenestrate," i think of the Defenestration of Prague. which is a horrible thing to think about. boo!
Score = 0
Scott, are you needlessly exposing yourself to libel by suggesting that Eric Clapton's infant son was *thrown out* of the window? I could have sworn the rugrat fell accidentally -- but hey, if you want Slowhand to sue the bejeezus out of you, carry on regardless...
Score = 0
Wasn't that the song he wrote when his son died unexpectedly by falling off a balcony? I understand that tsunami relief funds dictate that something really syrupy and cheesy be used (mmm, syrup and cheese... kidding!), but don't you think he'd protect his own song from such an awful idea?
And how DOES the music industry come up with these kind of stinkers so easily, anyway?
Score = 0
this still can't be worse than douchebag durtz covering wish you were here.

James, tell us something interesting about music across the pond this week.
Score = 0
Why oh why is Kelly Osbourn still trying to have a singing career???????????????????????
Score = 0
Interesting music news from this side of the pond? Hmm. Supermodel Kate Moss and erstwhile Libertine Pete Doherty are said to be "all over one another" these days. A BBC poll says The Bravery is music's hottest new act. I must have had my head in the sand, because apparently they're from New York and sounds like The Cure and New Order. Not so interesting, then. What else? Portishead have almost completed their third record. My friend's band 'The Culture Industry' split up, dumped all their old songs, got back together and have decided to head in an entirely new direction. But they need a new name. Any suggestions welcome, though I suspect pretentious references to German philosophers are a little passe...

....dead ringer for a spot on the torture tape.

Somehow I can't comprehend Weiland and Ozzy being on the same record as the male Celine Dion aka Josh Groban and being produced by Simon Cowell!
Score = 0
I'd be willing to donate a good sum of money towards tsunami relief efforts to get them to cease recording this travesty.

I'm wondering if Simon is going to tell Kelly, Gwen and Pink that they are fat.
I thought that the Osbourne's didn't like Simon Cowell?
Score = 0
Kelly O's enormously fat face makes me feel very blessed that I dont look like that. People should be bashing her the way they do ASimpson, cause she is a terrible fucking celebrity in her own right. Why wont she just go away? Cant we ship her back over the pond?
Score = 0
Kelly is proof that talent isn't inherited.
Score = 0
LOL, I think her head and face weigh more than the whole rest of her body. Jack is also an ugly bastard, but he is more tolerable than that Kelly.
