Big week for Pharbs as we learned Phoebe Bridgers will be on new albums from the National, Shame, and boygenius (her group with Lucy Dacus and Dave Grohl). Last night Bridgers shared her one-time nemesis David Crosby’s “Orleans” on Instagram. One of my faves too. R.I.P. Croz. → Read More

It was festival announcement week and we did our annual breakdown of the Coachella poster. It’s a lineup that looks pretty good to me, though I will not be going! This week we also got lineups for Bonnaroo, BottleRock, Boston Calling, Sonic Temple, In Between Days, BeachLife, NOLA Jazz Fest, and Tied Down Detroit. Next week: Gov Ball and Just Like Heaven? → Read More

It’s 2023 and hell is freezing over with new Peter Gabriel music, a Frank Ocean show on the horizon, and maybe even Kevin McCarthy getting enough votes for House speaker. Masochism when? → Read More
The 50 Best Stereogum Comments Of 2022
December 31st means it’s time to reflect on all the content we’ve experienced together this year and the clever things you had to say about it. Tomorrow marks 21 years since I started Stereogum (easy to remember because it has the same birthday as Ice Spice) so if you wanna get us anything here is where to sign up to become a paying member. On behalf of the staff, I offer a sincere thanks to… → Read More

Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best Comments
Our 50 Best Albums Of 2022 list came out and then SZA Claus dropped her new album today. Sometimes great albums come after listmas, unfortunately. The only foolproof way to avoid excluding these would be to poll our staff and freelance contributors the first week of January and run our year-end content later that month. No plans for that right now, so please feel free to vote for S.O.S. in the… → Read More
In Memoriam: Bands We Lost In 2022
Every year for the past 100 years I’ve put together an Oscars-style In Memoriam tribute to all the bands who broke up in the past 12 months. In this edition you’ll find some acts that you loved and some you’ve never heard of, but I promise they are (were) all real and had fans. Between the dismal touring economy, vinyl pressing delays, venue merch cuts, and TikTok’s oversized influence on young… → Read More

White Lotus‘ second season is :chef’s kiss:. I hope Tanya will be ok? No spoilers, but I’m on White Lotus TikTok so I have some good theories now. There hasn’t been a music peg for Stereogum to do a proper article about the show (don’t they listen to the Cramps in Sicily?) but here’s Meghann Fahy (Daphne) singing “O Holy Night.” Timely! → Read More

This week demand for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour crashed Ticketmaster and several lawmakers are once again calling for a breakup of the company’s monopoly. Addressing the Swift ticket debacle, a Live Nation exec went on CNBC to say she’s the problem, it’s her. Then Ticketmaster just went and canceled today’s general on-sale while a single ticket for Philadelphia is going for $45,000. Taylor is… → Read More

Elon Musk’s hellsite is really going through it. I will miss Twitter. Remember “hungies“? Remember when Machine Gun Kelly got mad at me? Simpler times. At least Doja Cat is able to change her display name again. → Read More

It’s almost Halloween so I took Weyes Blood costume shopping. Did you know Weyes Blood is a fan of spooky stuff? You probably knew. I accidentally had the fake knife we used as a mic in my back pocket when I went to the Steve Lacy concert immediately after our shoot and security at T5 were like 🤨. Watch the video below so we can justify making more videos. → Read More

Grammy Awards season has begun, but there will be no voting for Silk Sonic nor Drake or the Weeknd. Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (Sad Girl Autumn Version)” is eligible for Record Of The Year, however, as are Nicki Minaj and Latto assuming they don’t cancel each other first. But I’ll just leave this here: → Read More
