We've begun rolling out our year-end content, listing the year's best albums and EPs, and more importantly, tweets and Radiohead covers. And there's much more coming next week. Reminder: vote in the 16th (!) annual Gummy Awards if you want justice for Tame Impala.
I scraped 800 comments from the @stereogum year-end best album list to compare the opinions of the staff vs. the commentariat. Overall, opinions mostly line-up: Fetch the Bolt Cutters is the AOTY. However, the commentariat demand justice for Destroyer & Tame Impala. pic.twitter.com/Ex27kmXJGw

For those that don’t know what is happening, we do not like it when people cut in line by replying to the top comment. Especially since carson talked mad shit on me back in 2013 for loving The Rapture’s Echoes. | ||

they're following the Obamacare/Trumpcovid rollout formula: Scheme plan, Promote plan, Execute plan, Realize you never actually did the work to put the plan in place, Go back and find a new plan Scott reminds me of the Silicon Valley exec at this point. epic failure and misjudgment. Servin up a fucking zoom video of Carly ray Jepson video to us for bailing his fat ass out again .. kinda like that phone release .. wish I could just go to a market research meeting for this redesign and throw tomatoes at everyone. although, I kinda wish I did a crowdsourced mixtape full of lukewarm covers of shitty songs earlier this year, then maybe could've moved somewhere during the pandemic where a homeless dude doesn't squat under my room for who knows how long. eh, the timeline that got away | ||

See this is problem nowadays with Stereogum...theres very little respect for those that blazed the trail going on here.Its insane to think a website that promotes music (in all forms) would allow this certain community to shit on someone like Clapton.I mean, this is a guy who championed the bridge between blues and rock, he defined what Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Albert King and so many built to create and allow you the freedom to have to the shitty music you listen today.I'm all for the child in you that wants to debate your argument, but you have zero cred in doing so and you bring no facts just hate.You'd rather sit at home probably angry at life and the fact you've wasted it, but you're just a fool, and someone who probably shouldn't be wasting your time on a website whose only design is to celebrate music and all those who built it.So go back to your hole of a room, stoke your dick wishing you had that girl you lost and forget about doing what this site is built to do, celebrating and debating music with facts, not just lobbing in veiled BS with zero credibility. | ||

Christ on a crutch...that video is so much a NIN ripoff but with vocals buried so hard...that’s my most polite way of saying don’t let the haters tell you what’s up. If people slap you on the back and tell you it’s awesome, they are lying. Scott can totes weigh in here | ||

Hate on me for laughing at the .22 injury but I’ve had 3 joints scoped by age 18 and I know pain. I’d let fucking Grimes shoot me in the calf With a .22 if it would let me promote my far superior music to Meeeegaaaans. Y’all hook line and sinker Stans can smirk now but the next album is gonna be as successful as Nicki Minaj’s brother. Write it down and underline it twice. | ||

Massively Overrated album that was only innovative for the time period. Basically a high brow Girl Talk but not nearly as good. I tried listening to cuz it was 5th best album of the 2000s by P4K but never quite got the appeal of acclaim. Maybe you gotta be over 40 to appreciate it idk | ||
