Stereogum Does CMJ: Cale Parks/The Narrator @ The Delancey 10/19/07 (Flameshovel/Polyvinyl Showcase)

Friday night was an evening of cancellations, mix ups, and superfluous cab trips, but our early evening aggravation melted with a solo set from Aloha's Cale Parks, offering a more ambient, electro-grooved take on the one-man/live-percussion thing (see also:...  CONTINUE READING STEREOGUM DOES CMJ: CALE PARKS/THE NARRATOR @ THE DELANCEY 10/19/07 (FLAMESHOVEL/POLYVINYL SHOWCASE)»

New Aloha - "Body Buzz"

Stereogum's Aloha love runs deep, what with Here Comes Everyone nabbing a spot in our Top Catorce of '04, a slot on last year's SXStereogum bill, and a mention in early '06 that HCE follow-up "Some Echoes is another winner,...  CONTINUE READING NEW ALOHA - "BODY BUZZ"»

That Was The Best Christmas Song Ever!

'Tis the season to say "'tis the season" too much. 'Tis also the season to reflect on the year that was, eat too much, see family, and get nostalgic with your favorite holiday tunes. But since we're all about superlatives...  CONTINUE READING THAT WAS THE BEST CHRISTMAS SONG EVER!»

Inside The Rockers Studio: Cale Parks

On his solo effort, Illuminated Manuscript, Aloha-drummer Cale Parks takes the experimental blueprint for his band's work and morphs it into a collection of ambient (yet structured) songs, featuring nothing but keyboards, electronic drum sounds, and mallet instruments. Cale's live...  CONTINUE READING INSIDE THE ROCKERS STUDIO: CALE PARKS»

Stereogum's Top Catorce Of 2004

As usual I was unable to narrow down my favorite releases of the year to just ten. So here are Stereogum's 14 favorite discs of 2004. To make it easier for myself, I arbitrarily disqualified compilations, reissues, and Brian Wilson....  CONTINUE READING STEREOGUM'S TOP CATORCE OF 2004»

Band To Watch: Blank Dogs

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...

Quit Your Day Job: Megafaun

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)...

Premature Evaluation: of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping

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,...

Every week, we dig in the archives for videos that we find noteworthy, memorable, or just unbelievably stupid. And then, Jon McMillan breaks 'em down for you. This week: Marcy Playground blows their one chance at video immortality.

OldStand: Rolling Stone, September 13, 1984

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. Lots of Huey Lewis (and the News) news lately, so let's go back...

The Outsiders: Vol. 17: Bird Show, Hair Police, Hush Arbors

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

Nicole Atkins - "Under The Milky Way"

On 9/9 Nicole Atkins is releasing a four-song EP fittingly titled Nicole Atkins Digs Other People's Songs via Columbia, on which the Jersey girl covers Nada Surf's "Inside Of Love," the Doors' "Crystal Ship," Mama Cass Elliott's "Dream A Little...
