Earlier this year we shined a light Swedish pop outfit the LK and their electro lovely, wintry gem "Stop Being Perfect." Had we known the band had a side project sooner, we probably would have written sooner. Instead, we came...

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)...

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...

Portland songwriter Justin Ringle's evocative vocal twang and sharp lyricism are at the center of Horse Feathers' bedroom Americana. The band's second album House With No Home, which follows 2006's Words Are Dead, finds Ringle's vision fleshed out by multi-instrumentalist/composer...

He's been doing this sort of thing a lot lately... probably to prove he's not gay!

Am I crazy? It actually looked like he had kind of a small boner- that part at the end was just a fold in his pants, curb your enthusiasm style.

By far one of the best soul singers around right now. And how can you think that man is gay? Even if he were, it wouldn't change the fact that he makes some sexy music.

Isaac,
I never said he was gay, nor do I think he is. I'm just pointing out that when male celebrities are inundated by rumors about their sexual orientation, they tend to do stupid shit like this to prove otherwise. From my personal perspective, there seems to be a huge stigma behind being perceived as gay in the black community, as opposed to someone like Justin Timberlake who thrives on riding that line.
And I think that as far as the male soul genre goes, his music is better than all of his contemporaries.

There I was thinking this was a family site. Shame on you Stereogum, shame on you.
