We're on the other side of CMJ now, which you could probably tell by the uptick in the music news cycle, or by some bloggers' (could be any bloggers, no way to know who I am talking about) bleary eyes and corresponding level of risibility. Stereogum threw some a couple of parties early on , then shifted into showcase-hopping mode. Herein you'll find a hand-selected collection of the finest and most representative photos of CMJ 2011 from our crew of exceptional photographers - Erez Avissar , Ryan Muir , and Jessica Amaya - [...]

Iceland Airwaves is over , which means it must be time for CMJ. As promised, Stereogum's parties this week featured two secret guests, and by the grace of concert-promotion law, today we are finally able to reveal those artist to be the spasmodic/hypnogogic hero John Maus, and analog/electronics sound experimentalist Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point Never. Both of these men will perform on Wednesday night at 285 Kent for our party with Domino/Ribbon Music and Todd P (and Software, which was a tip-off to Lopatin's involvement from the get-go and well sleuthed by reader Raptor Jesus ). Others on [...]

Next week, NYC's streets will be teeming with a mix of earnest collegiate indie rock aficionados and grizzled music biz veterans. There will be wonderful lineups at all sorts of venues, and if you pick the right show you may just see a band that will be written about on a blog the next day. Very exciting! Incidentally, that will happen this week, and every week before and after until The Reckoning, but only next week will be called CMJ. And so, it is next week that Stereogum - in conjunction with our friends at Domino/Ribbon Music, [...]

(Rappel : Pour télécharger une track, clic droit sur le nom -> Enregistrer la cible sous) Voila, ça faisait un moment qu'on avait pas vu un vrai article sur YAH, revenons aux bonnes choses, avec un rythme digne de ce nom (enfin je l'espere !) Pour le moment, je vais commencer avec 3 tracks que j'apprécie beaucoup et qui ont pas mal tourner cet été ! On commence avec Mark Ronson qui sort un nouvel EP « Record Collection 2012 » [...]

Summer has been upon us for over a month now, and, if you're a resident of D.C. like we are, it's been a brutal one. Record setting temperatures have left me sticking to backs of chairs and taking an abnormal amount of showers. It hasn't been all bad though, as the season brings about a change in my listening habits. Quiet introspective folk takes a back seat to shimmery Summer synths and just plain feel-good music. Join us then, as we share our favorite electro-tinged anthems in part one of two Summer mixtapes. The All Things Go Electrosummer [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Stereogum Presents… Stroked: A Tribute To "Is This It"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3604568_lg.jpg)
Tweet It's been ten years since The Strokes released the raw, genre-defining album "Is This It", which has since been named the Best Album of the Decade by NME, among other titles and accolades. Holy shit! Ten years? It still sounds hip today, which cannot be said for a lot of other popular releases from 2001. Stereogum brings us this compilation of covers in tribute to the album, each track covered once by an artist from a different perspective. They've released similar [...]
What the fuck? Stereogum posted a tribute album to The Strokes? The band that is about a decade old with one album that will always remain a classic in Is This It? and three other subpar albums? Really? Does this band really deserve a tribute album? Well, if anything - they at least did it [...]

Deradoorian - Trying Your Luck (Strokes Cover) I can't stop and won't stop listening to this. Even if you don't like the Strokes you should listen to this cover at least. Chuck full of environmental sounds, Angel Deradorrian lends her beautiful voice to give her unique take on the Strokes' track Trying Your Luck . Using the classic styling of dub/reggae production which according to Deradorrian was a "…different type of challenge within my daily writing routine." This comes via a Strokes tribute album put together by Stereogum which include covers by [...]

Dominant Legs - Fierce Creatures - Deradoorian La joyeuse bande ci-dessus n'est pas le casting d'une nouvelle série télé (je les imagine bien dans un mélange Heroes / Dr Who, allez savoir pourquoi), mais Fierce Creatures dont le premier EP I Mostri Feroci est sorti en juillet 2010 mais je ne le découvre que maintenant via ce fabuleux morceau. Ils viennent de Fresno en Californie, une ville qui n'a pas vraiment réputée pour ses groupes musicaux, mais pour... hum... pour euh... ah, il y [...]

Angel Deradoorian's voice is so unmistakably distinct that it might actually be impossible to describe. You want to call it husky, but then you remember that it's light as a feather. You want to call it decidedly modern, but it adorned with enough old fashioned trills and coos that it sounds like it could come from a toy 78rpm gramophone record. These delightful contradictions are on full display on her latest release, a split 7" single with Albert McCloud out on Lovepump United , the label that released her debut EP. Her contribution to the a side is " [...]

To ciekawe: Wstałem dziś z Angel Deradoorian w głowie, a wieczorem przeczytałem, że wydała ona dzisiaj dzieloną 7" , którą oczywiście natychmiast zamówiłem. Część Deradoorian to naprawdę wspaniale surowa , wyprodukowana przez Avey Tare'a Marichka - skowronek na uwięzi mechanicznej muzycznej pętli. Obie strony splitsingla do odsłuchania tutaj . Bardziej zainteresowanym oferuję mailowo zripowaną empetrójkę. To ciekawe 2: Od wczoraj przesłuchuję nową płytę Lykke Li . Uważam, że jest naprawdę niezła i stwierdzam bez zbędnego dumania, że jest czwartą tegoroczną płytą, która mi się podoba. [...]
