‘Donnie Darko’ was released 25 years ago today 🐰

Stereogum political correspondent Rachel Brown is distantly Irish and I will try to get them a followup with Tinashe

jealous of Tom and Chainsmokers

When they’re not writing and performing killer noise rock, Gilla Band’s Dara Kiely and Daniel Fox are closely following “Irish trash TV.” They sat down with Stereogum reality television correspondent Rachel Brown to talk us through one of their favorite hate-watches.

Drake is boycotting the Grammys again, but there are many other artists still eyeing Album Of The Year. Who do you think will win?

🙏 once saw them with Pharoah Sanders opening

I went to a second gig before abandoning my car at the train station because I lost my fob at one of them. 🙃 Worldpeace DMT are touring behind their brand new sophomore LP and last night they played the first of two sold-out shows in Brooklyn. No “Stratocaster” sadly, but here’s some “Love You Too.”

Claud performed their entire new album ‘Me And The Music’ at a free show in NYC tonight. There were tarot readings before the set, and Claud also got one onstage. This song features Maya Polsky on guitar and, appropriately, is called “Spells And Fortune Tellers.”

This isn’t really a spoiler. But Billy Evans and Nathan Fielder are both brushing incorrectly with their electric toothbrushes.

Gilla Band, a 2015 Stereogum Band To Watch, also earned our Album Of The Week last month with the relentlessly abrasive ‘Pugnello.’ From Brooklyn tonight, this is “Alogia,” named for reduced speech commonly associated with schizophrenia. Dara Kiely wrote the lyrics around the time of his diagnosis.

ELO's 'A New World Record' and Converge's Jacob Bannon turn 50 years old today! 🥳 (Jacob was too young to enter The Great Electric Light Orchestra New World Record display competition.)

The Strokes’ debut album was released 25 years ago today in America. In 2011, to mark its 10th anniversary, Stereogum produced ‘STROKED: A Tribute To Is This It.’ The track-for-track covers album featured exclusive new recordings on MP3. Now you can find streams at stereogum.com/stroked.

Sean O'Hagan’s the High Llamas will stage ‘Hawaii’ in full in Dublin next spring. The chamber-pop masterpiece blew many minds 30 years ago, including Sondre Lerche, who’s gone on to work with O’Hagan for the past 25 years. The singer-songwriter told us why we should all be uplifting the High Llamas.

Tonight, the ferocious prog-psych trio SLIFT headlined Le Poisson Rouge, a good place to see French rock bands this fall. This is “A Storm Of Wings,” a Bulgakov-inspired standout from their new LP ‘Fantasia’ built on chugging riffs, shifting time signatures, and Jean Fossat’s impressive wail.

Happy 75th birthday Johnny Cougar!

I don’t hate it 😄

The Natural Bridge came out 30 years ago today. 10 years ago, while David Berman was still us, I put together the unusual, intense story of how it came together for @stereogum.com. stereogum.com/1902185/the-...

Kim Gordon addressed AI on “DIRTY TECH,” so I asked her about Suno, which lets users generate songs in artists’ styles. I was delighted to finally meet my birthday twin in the final months of humanity. I noted that we share a birthday with Saddam Hussein. She already knew that. Kim Gordon knows all.

I talked to Starcleaner Reunion about forging a shared love of Stereolab in high school, yearning for the pre-internet indie underground, and incorporating everything from banjo to burning candles on their stellar debut album UMBRELLA, out today

In Bridgeport tonight, Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts played their first concert in over a year. But first Young came out during Willie Nelson’s set, and the two did “Are There Any More Real Cowboys?,” their duet from 1985, the year they co-founded Farm Aid. They’ll both play the ‘26 edition on Sat.

Earlier this year, Athens musician @shaneparish.bsky.social released 'Autechre Guitar.’ It’s a collection that, as the title suggests, reimagines tracks by the legendary IDM duo for acoustic guitar. Parish brought the album to Making Time ∞ and spoke with @tddvsss.bsky.social after his set.

In my old apt building, the garage stored 36 Corvettes Peter Max bought in 1990 off a guy who won them in a VH-1 sweepstakes. One for every year from 1953 to 1989. His plan was to paint them in psychedelic styles but he got busy so they just lived in Brooklyn, collecting dust for many years. R.I.P.
