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"
Every week, we dig in the archives for videos that we find noteworthy, memorable, or just unbelievably stupid. And then, Jon McMillan breaks 'em down for you. This week: Papa Roach lands an uppercut on the glass jaw of big oil.

OldStand: SPIN, November, 1990
Take our ink-stained hands and join us at the OldStand, where Jon McMillan goes to remind everyone what an honest-to-goodness music magazine is supposed to look like. For the cover story, Bob Guccione Jr. himself gets in the ring with...

The Outsiders: Vol. 15: Clark, My Brightest Diamond, Wildbirds & Peacedrums
Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy usually focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This time...

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...

I still can't help but like the guy, even if he's finally embraced every one of his fifty-something years and is completely out of touch and uncool now.

Kele from Bloc Party comes out, where you at Gum?

Definitive proof that Oysterhead was, in fact, the perfect storm of self-satisfaction.

i've always liked stewart copeland, but was i the only one who wanted to straighten his glasses the entire time he was talking?
Score = 0
Good post. I hope 'those other two guys' are half as cool as Stewart seems, these days.
Score = 0
Nice to hear some Klark Kent music being used in that piece. "Don't Care" is best thing any member of the Police has ever done.

good to see andy dick is still working.

he sounds like a pretty intelligent guy. he should teach college.

You know, I always thought that Oysterhead was the perfect storm of self-satisfaction, but now I have: Definitive. Proof.

Lord almighty, what a mess of metaphors.

From your description, I was expecting a pretentious jerk, but that wasn't the case at all. I knew I liked Stewart for a good reason.
Score = 0
He's not only one of the best skilled rock drummers around, but one who moves on. Which is good. How many of us still think about our first girl (or boy-) friend. Even if the relationship was good & new & interesting, but it is over now. Nice post.
Score = 0
Sorry all, I may be a reak but I still can't decide which is stronger, my lust for his music or for him!! Possibly Stewart and I are the only ones who think he is hotter than Sting!
Score = 0
Whether he knew what he was even doing or not, you should hear what he did with the Police catalog for that recent "Everyone Stares" film/DVD: Totally remixed (and even re-recorded) a bunch of their classic songs--and they sound fucking ACE! Like dub-y, step-y and even jungle/drum&bass versions. Superb.
Score = 0
No..you are not the only one who thinks that Stewart is Hot. He may be 50 something but he is VERY hot. Smart, artistic guys, who have some maturity, are very hot..in my opinion.
Score = 0
I have had a serious crush on Stewart since he was in the Police. What an interesting man. I would love to just sit and listen to him for hours and hours. Sigh. And I am a married mother of a 13 year old daughter. I can dream can't I.
