New Meat Loaf Rock Documentary Appears To Be Dramatic

It might not have the international appeal of the Falco biopic, but we're betting Meat Loaf: In Search Of Paradise, will at the very least be as epic. In fact, judging from the trailer, the big guy appears to be even more of drama queen than we suspected: He spits gum, snorts vapors, falls on the ground (repeatedly), and rubs his hands through his hair in complete and utter anguish, etc. Why? Well, "the most important tour of his career ... could be the one that ends it." Jesus! That's a lot of pressure to put on an "A" personality with vertigo who lives in stress city. What's worse: In order to get to paradise, he has to go through hell. What's worser: That includes having a woman the size of his left leg dry hump said leg.

"I look like I'm 12 years old and every reviewer can't get past it." Dennis Quaid can. The Loaf, he hates all his shows. Don't worry dude, none can be worse than this.

Yeah, and poor old Jim Steinman is stuck with Americanized versions of his great German musicals, while Meat gets this treatment. But all the same, Meat, I gotta ask: "Go Phone Light?" UGH!

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...

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...
