The Pixies are touring Doolittle this year (”this year” being the loosest definition of the word, since they don’t start working until November). If you’re thinking “Why are they playing a record in full that they recorded 20 years ago?” then the answer is “it’s the money, Lebowski!”.If you’re too lazy to record new material, [...]
Aaaand we’re back. I had a lot of personal issues and projects to take care of over the last month, a couple of interviews fell through (don’t worry, there will be new ones), but the SZ isn’t going anywhere any time soon. Usually when a dramatic topical event happens in news or music, everyone feels [...]
My personal schedule is gearing up a bit as I come to the end of my school career, but we’re gonna try and post two or three times a week for the next month or so. Lots of good stuff coming, including interviews with Infinien and Blacklist Royals (hopefully)!

Progress. It rarely comes from civilized people talking down, listening to reason, hashing things out. Most of the critical advances in human society has come from brief, awe-inspiring, and terrifying periods of forced change. Whether it’s the French Revolution or school integration or the space race, most vital changes in our lives only come [...]
One of the most interesting things about music is that once it leaves the studio and enters your earlobes, it’s undeniably yours, no matter what the musicians might have had in mind when they put their ramblings to a gin-soaked napkin however many months ago. The Beatles might have written I Am The Walrus to [...]
We had a couple of unearthly coincidences last time, so I’ve kinda hesitated to bring the madness back to life again. But summer time is fast approaching, and the urge can’t be contained. So, we’re proud to announce the return of the Stereo Zeitgeist Internet Barbeque. We’re flooding the chatroom, we’re hanging out, we’re doing [...]
And so my cousin peeped over my shoulder while I was listening to this, full screen Cover Flow and all that. And he squinted.Ermine? Ain’t that like a rat or some shit?Survey says…Eh, sorta. I’m not exactly sure the connection between the semi cuddly woodland creature and the new EP from Marilyn Roxie (who you [...]
It’s like there was some crazy rift in the jazz time continuum, dropping the best record from thirty years later into their laps in the present day. The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is another old school record worth dropping in your music collection, and as much as I like to rag on people [...]
Britain: The land of Tin Pan Alley, where the idea of more colourful pop music was born, the same country where The Beatles created a mania the likes of which had never been seen before. Where America had Elvis doing his hip swinging, we had people singing about how money ‘can’t buy me love’ [...]
As many artists have only just started to embrace the digital revolution there are some artists that have embraced it in their arms and clasped it to their bosom: Radiohead and Trent Reznor, to name two. Over the past few years, one hip-hop artist in particular has brought out mixtapes, blogged frequently and has kept a close [...]
Octahedron, The Mars Volta’s 5th LP, is hitting stores on June 22nd after, literally, years worth of waiting. Universal Records sat on The Bedlam In Goliath for months, and in that downtime, TMV was able to write and record another album. The band was so ahead of the curve that a snippet of an early [...]
12:00 AM : Alcohol.12:20 AM : More alcohol.12:45 AM : Some Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 5 is the year’s best game. It’s got graphics, it’s got suspense, it’s got action, it’s got zombies, and it has a control system that doesn’t suck eggs (see Evils, Resident 1-4). There’s some that say RE5 isn’t a [...]
Totally ripped off from ElGuappa. I’m sure she won’t mind.Prolly the best thing I’ve heard in… eh, a month? And since Omar just came out with a new CD, that’s saying a lot. Video isn’t official (there isn’t one), but it works perfectly - although I wish it was in HD. Peep the official page.
If your first thought was “all of them, except the ones that some skinny Japanese developer cooked up on his MIDI for the express purpose of being played behind his awful, awful game”, then congratulations, you have an iota of common sense, which is more than I can say for the legions of drool wipers [...]
Pete Waterman, known to dozens around the world as the co-author of “Never Gonna Give You Up”, is really pissed off. It turns out that even though the video has been played millions and millions of times online, Waterman’s only made about 16 bucks from YouTube royalties - you know, enough to buy a couple [...]
Well, you know, usually I have to think up some sort of frame to place a record in. After giving a lot of thought to it, here’s what I’ve got for Dub Housing: sometimes fat guys sining about weird stuff works. They don’t really lend themselves to easy angles - the group still doesn’t do [...]
No, I haven’t been taking time off - have you taken a look at our About Us page recently? You’l find some very swanky stuff done with Issuu - it’s a mini media kit “published” in magazine format. Hopefully it’ll sort’ve work as our digital handshake in the future, and hey, nothing says we cant [...]
