--- - |- We extolled the virtues of Marnie Stern's This Is It And I Am It And You Are It And So Is That And He Is It And She Is It And It Is It And That Is That (out 10/7 via KRS ) when we posted "Transformer " and "Shae Stadium ." Three's a charm, so check out "Ruler" at Marnie's MySpace (Thanks for the tip, Jon ). Fittingly, it rules.- Marnie Stern

With Marnie Stern you know what you're going to get before you listen, but that doesn't make it any less thrilling. Her sophomore album's very reminiscent of her first, last year's In Advance of the Broken Arm , but at the same time, the formula feels more soulful, less tech-y. Outside of the overlong Beckett-esque title -- This Is It And I Am It And You Are It And So Is That And He Is It And S...

CraZy how time flies when you're having fun, eh? Thanks, MOG for putting up with me. I'm a bad friend. Only updating only so often. Not keeping up with the Mog-o-Mattic. Barely commenting on all the lovely blog posts from awesome people like Kate, Jenny, kristiana & puffmagic. But I still love you!In the meantime, I've been out building up a huge collection of live music videos I've been ...

This is it, the first song from the new Marnie Stern album, called-- deep breath-- This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That. Long titles aside, the finger-tapping New York guitar shredder hasn't gone all Fiona Apple (not that there's anything wrong with that) since last year's In Advance of the Broken Arm. And "Transformer", b...

I feel like everyone has either heard this or is going to hear this. Marnie Stern is a rockin noisefest of math proportions. If you like Melt Banana, Deerhoof, noise, or lightning quick guitar stabs then I think you will like this. I've been listening to it all week. It's kind of mystical, kind of I don't know what. Definitely sounds chaotic but it's so controlled. Her guitar works at lig...

Love you Marnie.Wow! This is probably the best thing we’ve heard on Kill Rock Stars in AGES. With totally spazzed out guitar playing and impassioned vocals, Marnie Stern has grabbed us by the throats and refuses to let us go. (aquarius records)

!http://pearlofcivilization.net/images/149.jpg (Marnie Stern)!:http://www.marniestern.com/To sum up all the online hype I keep running into about Marnie Stern: she totally shreds, *plus* she writes great songs. Is there such a thing as art-metal? That's what I would call it when music seems really smart but all anyone can say about it is that it is "so fucking awesome."- "Every Single Line Mean...

When posting Marnie Stern's "Transformer," I said something about how the way she approaches songwriting feels like she's stumbling upon something for the first time, blowing her own mind over and over. That "stumble"'s not meant as a knock -- I meant it as a kind of ongoing discovery/rediscovery. See, for instance, "Shea Stadium" (poor Mets), "Ruler," etc. Or, as she shouts in "Transformer," "...

It's fitting that Perpetua came upon this, since it was his great interview with Marnie that framed its significance: until now, the ruler of the CMJ '08, Ms. Marnie Stern, has never learned someone else's song. And she's broken that bit by covering Journey, which is precisely what you do when you're just letting loose at karaoke or just a virtuosic woman looking to blow minds via some cover lo...
