Band To Watch: Blank Dogs
Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

Quit Your Day Job: Megafaun
Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Premature Evaluation: of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping
Skeletal Lamping is anything but skeletal. When we took a close listen to album closer "Id Engager" we mentioned it wasn't the strangest, most ambitious, or best tune on of Montreal's new one, but after absorbing the other 14 tracks,...

OldStand: Rolling Stone, September 13, 1984
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. Lots of Huey Lewis (and the News) news lately, so let's go back...

The Outsiders: Vol. 17: Bird Show, Hair Police, Hush Arbors
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...

mediocre Veruca Salt, played by 40 year olds....meh
Score = 0
veruca salt never had synthesizers. nice try though. and i also think they're in their 30s.
Score = 0
After listening to Live It Out about thirty times in the last week or so, I have to say it's one great listen. It grows on you each time.
Score = 0
Veruca Salt announced today that they are putting out a new album. But it's really only Louise and two randoms.
Score = 0
love it
Score = 0
The Truth- funny name! I love that you had first post- I'm sure you had plenty of time to sit and listen to this album before you posted... and yeah Metric is in their early thirties and sound NOTHING like Veruca Salt. The truth is you're an idiot.
Score = 0
The truth got SERRVED.
Score = 0
Thanks for getting me to remember Veruca Salt though! I loved American Thighs. But I like the new Metric even more!
Score = 0
this album grows on your like moss on a wet rock. there's a downloadable leak floating around somewhere (big suprise).
Score = 0
what's a downloadable leak?
Score = 0
Metric were unbelievably awesome this past Saturday at the Filter party at Hiro Ballroom. Can't wait for the album to come out on October 4th. Will probably go see them both on the 5th at Bowery and the 6th at Southpaw. I have a Metric problem.
Score = 0
VERY different.
But falling in love takes time.
