Dead Meadow Up On The Wire

Dead Meadow Up On The Wire

The Wire is the best television program ever, etc. But aside from the acting chops of Steve Earle and Method Man (and seasonal remixes of "Way Down In The Hole"), we have little reason to think about modern music when shit goes down on the corner. Until this week, when McNulty wants to know what his boys are listening to. "It's Dead Meadow, dad. Geez." ("What's wrong with the Ramones?") It's not the LA psych-rockers' first cameo in West Baltimore, either. They were featured last season, and the guitarist's uncle is show creator David Simon. Grab two tunes at The Leather Canary. The new album (check the vid) is out Tuesday. Got dem spider bags, red tops. (via Vulture.)

Rawls was a Larry Craig-type on last night's Law & Order (again .. I think he's been on every L&O iteration five times).

Typecasting. http://boards.hbo.com/topic/Wire-Member-Created/Question-Rawls/2000000724&

I had a feeling there was something going on between The Wire and Dead Meadow. I forget what season it was (maybe the 3rd) but there was a scene where a car full of white kids drove up to the corner where Bodie was selling dope and on the radio in their car they were listening to "At Her Open Door". Pretty cool.

PS - Who saw the latest episode on-demand? Omar can fly and Marlow's people can't shoot. LOL.

PSS - I forgot to say that I love the pic of McNulty you guys chose. Flashing the badge. LOL. That was a great scene.

Band To Watch: The Neighbourhood Council

After two weeks of reader-tipped BTWs from Lawrence, Kansas, we mentioned there seemed to be something going on in that city, despite William S. Burroughs up and dying a few years ago. After the proclamation went out, we received notes...

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...

OldStand: Blender, May 1995

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. Oh man, remember the future? Well, my Macbook doesn't (thanks for nothing, Leopard!),...

Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy usually focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This time...

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...
