New Metric - "Stadium Love" / "Standing In Line" / "Gimme Sympathy" / "Freddy" / "Twilight" (Live At MySpace Secret Show)

After spending some time satisfying the solo act impulse, Emily's back to BSS affiliates Metric, and it seems like the Canadians are closer to a new record than we'd realized. This past Thursday, Metric teamed with MySpace for a 'Hey,...  CONTINUE READING NEW METRIC - "STADIUM LOVE" / "STANDING IN LINE" / "GIMME SYMPATHY" / "FREDDY" / "TWILIGHT" (LIVE AT MYSPACE SECRET SHOW)»

New Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton - "The Bank"

Social Scene siren Emily Haines gave her impressive CV some extra padding with last year's Knives Don't Have Your Back, essentially her solo debut, fronting the Soft Skeleton. "The Bank" is track from that project's forthcoming EP, designed as a...  CONTINUE READING NEW EMILY HAINES & THE SOFT SKELETON - "THE BANK"»

Old Metric - "Hardwire"

Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw's first official release came with 2003's Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?, though that wasn't their first full-length studio effort. As a two-piece in '99, before adding their taut live rhythm section, Metric had...  CONTINUE READING OLD METRIC - "HARDWIRE"»

New Metric Video - "Empty"

This is a second stab at a clip for Live It Out's "Empty," the first being a pilfering-puppets-and-live-footage cop out. Promo offers up the new iteration, one with more dramatics, more reverse-filmed flying debris, and maybe most importantly, more Emily...  CONTINUE READING NEW METRIC VIDEO - "EMPTY"»

Band To Watch: Hospital Ships

As we pass saturation point for press coverage of Montreal, Portland, Brooklyn and et cetera, it seems Lawrence, Kansas is poised for its coming turn in the music media trend piece carousel. At least from what we're hearing; this marks...

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...

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: Papa Roach - "Getting Away With Murder"

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: Papa Roach lands an uppercut on the glass jaw of big oil.

OldStand: SPIN, November, 1990

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. For the cover story, Bob Guccione Jr. himself gets in the ring with...

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...
