Don't worry, the beat goes on. It's just that the Associated Press is staying on top of things, prepping Brit's obit in advance in case she, oops, does something life-threatening again. Of course, this sort of thing is a fairly common practice. In fact, Stereogum's already written one for Pete Doherty. But hell, while we have the death of Spears in mind, might as well start the wagering.

Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Skeletal Lamping is anything but skeletal. When we took a close listen to album closer "Id Engager" we mentioned it wasn't the strangest, most ambitious, or best tune on of Montreal's new one, but after absorbing the other 14 tracks,...

I live in San Francisco and you should see the homeless people that live in my neighborhood. Some of the old guys have 30 years of heroin abuse, alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and being outdoors with no sunscreen on and they're still trucking. Britney ain't going anywhere. Unfortunately.

I've been impressed by the lack of Britney coverage on Stereogum recently. I'm sure that took a lot of self control, Scott.
