Liz Phair Reviews Dean Wareham's Black Postcards: A Rock & Roll Romance For The NY Times

A couple weeks ago, inspired by a discussion of Dean & Britta's "You Turn My Head Around" video, one 'Gummer was talking about Dean Wareham's literary bent. There are plenty of examples, but the thing that came up was one...  CONTINUE READING LIZ PHAIR REVIEWS DEAN WAREHAM'S BLACK POSTCARDS: A ROCK & ROLL ROMANCE FOR THE NY TIMES»

When Dean Met Britta

Men's Vogue has an excerpt from Black Postcards: A Rock & Roll Romance (out 3/13), the new book by former Galaxie 500/Luna frontman Dean Wareham. It's an honest look at a critically lauded, commercially neglected decade his band spent in cheap hotels, before dissolving (along with Dean's marriage) in 2004. Of course, Dean and ex-Jem singer Britta are now a married, musical duo. Unclear if Ms. Phillips still has, as the piece mentions, "the best visible panty line in rock." We'll always have Penthouse.

New Dean & Britta Video - "Words You Used To Say"

Ex-Luna members (and indie pin-up couple) Dean & Britta star in this cute vid for "Words You Used To Say," from their release Back Numbers. The slow resolve; Britta's slinky, smoke-set dancing; and Dean's awesomely realistic driving sequences make it...  CONTINUE READING NEW DEAN & BRITTA VIDEO - "WORDS YOU USED TO SAY"»

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...

Video Hangover: Eric Prydz - "Call On Me"

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: Eric Prydz is bringing sexy back.

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!),...

The Outsiders: Vol. 15: Clark, My Brightest Diamond, Wildbirds & Peacedrums

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...
