Catch Me At A Future In Noise!
A Supersized Listen To This
Usually this series focuses on a single musician or track, and if you can give us four minutes, we can give you something fresh to experience. Since we’ve been laid off for so long, though, I thought it would be best to throw in a super-sized installment, themed around stuff that doesn’t stand out based [...]

Stereo Zeitgeist Returns In One Week
Tie your mother down. No revolutionary new layout, no millions of new features, just the same old good stuff you’re used to. We’ll probably add a Facebook account. That’ll also be a good place to stick goofy meta posts like this one.

The Pixies Are Lazy.
-
Artist:
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, [...]

A Note On Micheal Jackson
-
Artist:
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 [...]

Updates Are Slowing Down For About A Month.
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)!

A Little Sitdown With Drake’s Theory
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 [...]

Wait, What Are They Singing About?
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 [...]

Internet Barbeque - June 4th, 2009!
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 [...]

Marilyn Roxie | Ermine
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 [...]

Charles Mingus | The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
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 [...]

Where’s It’s At - Adventures In England’s Underground
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’ [...]

Mars Volta Blowout: Tracknames, Cover Art, and First Single!
-
Artist:
-
Album:
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 [...]

How I Spent Record Store Day
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 [...]

Shearwater - The Snow Leopard
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.

Songs That Don’t Need To Be Set To Kingdom Hearts Cutscenes
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 gameâ€, then congratulations, you have an iota of common sense, which is more than I can say for the legions of drool wipers [...]

Ten Pounds Of Fail In A Five Pound Bucket.
Pete Waterman, known to dozens around the world as the co-author of “Never Gonna Give You Upâ€, 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 [...]
