Stereogum

Thanks to Sterogum, you needn’t quit your day job to keep up on all the music world’s doings in the restless and desperate sea of shaggily coiffured kids angling for a quarter hour of fame. Like a tragically hip, though friendly older brother, Sterogum has the answers to all the questions you’ve been too square to ask (sans chest-sitting and pendulous loogies). How face-melting is the axe work on the new Mastodon album? (Very.) Has Interpol really sold-out? (Little bit.) What’s a Ting-Ting? (Pap and piffle for the masses.) Free downloads, exclusive sessions and cryptic gossip abound on a site dedicated to unearthing the latent, and often short-lived, cool of our era of accelerated celebrity. Get it while it’s hot and always ask for seconds.
