Stephen & The Colberts Video - "Charlene"

Here's a vintage clip from Colbert's past life as part of the "noted 1980s new wave sensation Stephen & The Colberts," unearthed during the news anchor's response to The Decemberists counter challenge to Colbert's initial gauntlet slap. The Decemberists will be on the show 12/20 to settle the green screen showdown once and for all, with Colbert generously giving Colin and co "homefield advantage by holding the contest in December." No word on whether we'll see clips from Colbert's Flying-V metal outfit, Symphonies Of The Infernal, during that taping -- but if so, it's bound to have even more whammy bar to deal with!

UPDATE: Head here for the full "Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)" video, which comes from the album The Charlene Collection: Vol 1. (Thanks, Pandyora!)

UPDATE #2: You guys are good. For your PMP! (Thanks, doggie!)

They Might Be Giants score the Daily Show, and this sounds uncannily like their handiwork - does anyone know if they're responsible for this? (It's generic enough that it doesn't have to be them, and maybe it's that Colbert [if that's his voice] is singing surprisingly sort of like Linnell...)

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...
