Says Wired: "Available in June, the game will feature nothing but Aerosmith, from 'Don't Want To Miss A Thing' to 'Sweet Emotion' to 'Love In An Elevator.'" Joe Perry self-tanner sold separately.

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...

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...

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...

Color me not excited, but then again I can't think of an alternative catalog that I would want to play instead. Maybe Muse?

More likely than not, this is going to be the first GH game I outright pass on; it's pretty much Guitar Hero: Music I Didn't Even Care About Back In High School, When They Were On Their First Comeback And Still Had Small Shreds Of Their Dignity. And if it's half as fugly as GH3 was, I have negative reasons to want it.
