Kinda feels like it should be:
1) All songs from Is This It
2-10) Some other songs

What a sad day!
Trials and Errors is probably the best live album I’ve ever heard.

I’m going to start a Kickstarter campaign to buy Amanda Palmer new eyebrows.

1. Monday Monday
2-10 – Any of their other songs (they all sound pretty much the same)

Is it me or is the overall volume of this album really low?

Just because your older brother is dancing in that video, doesn’t mean you have to diss the entire feature.

Great feature! Keep em coming!

Am I the only one who’s getting a fake Adobe Acrobat virus pop up whenever I visit Stereogum?

Nice song and all, but do we really need more synth/electronic music? There are like 3 guitar bands left in the world. Wish they concentrated on their amazing rock abilities rather than trying to sound like everyone else.

Brilliant video!

At least we won’t have to suffer through another Jet album.

Serious question – how does Frank Ocean differ from other run of the mill modern POP/R&B singers?
All I hear is regular chart music.

There’s a big problems with how the major labels are handling this. In the case of Spotify, for example, they took millions of dollars upfront for the song licenses and basically pocketed the money.
When it came time to pay royalties, Spotify was left with very little money to pay, having just paid off the labels.
The small labels who weren’t in on the deal were screwed doubly as they didn’t get paid money upfront and also couldn’t get any royalties for their starving artists (which isn’t technically the job of the labels, but that’s a whole different story).

Did these guys use to be Union Carbide Productions?

 +3Posted on Jul 18th, 2012 | re: ATTN: Employees - Do Not Buy These Used CDs (117 comments)

So here are the exclusions summed up:
1. All 90s bands
2. All 60s/70s CDs from the 80s/90s/and 2000s (meaning ALL 60s and 70s CDs?)
3. Soundtracks
4. Everything Pitchforky
5. Most 80s pop artists
6. Korn and the Deftones

So basically the only thing they’d buy is Justin Beiber and Anthrax?

OK, song. Kinda sounds like an indie artist’s idea of chart music.

I hope that for the new album these guys will finally realize that what they’re exceptional at is being a guitar band, and stop fiddling about with all the electronic stuff.

Creepy video, but what an amazing song!

 0Posted on Jun 8th, 2012 | re: Bowerbirds - "Overcome With Light" Video (Stereogum Premiere) (3 comments)

Totally agree. One of the best albums of the year.
Unfortunately they’re not an 80s tribute act so they don’t get the love they deserve.

All might have been forgiven had that album been even remotely good.

Ever noticed that their singer is one of the very few musicians who always wears a watch?
