After nine studio-length records, the band have announced they are officially on a hiatus and in a letter titled Hiatus/Sabbatical/Pause/Intermission/Breather on their website (which you can visit HERE), they wrote: Dear All, As we recently made #51 with Emperor Tomato ...

Meghan McCain and Stereolab: What Is Going on Here?Hey, it's been awhile. Let's check in with Meghan McCain's blog. What has Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain's daughter been listening to lately? Let's see. She's been rocking some Tokyo Police Club, some Klaxons, some Au Revoir Simone. A Hot Chip remix of the Pharcyde. All right. And... what's this? OK, let me get this straight. F...
A near capacity crowd packs into this converted church in Glasgow's West End. Since 1990 Stereolab must have filled nearly every decent sized venue in the city thanks to their poppy krautrock influenced tunes finding a loyal fan base. Quality support tonight comes in the shape of hotly tipped North-East band The Week That Was who romp through the entirety of their acclaimed debut album. Fren...

Stereolab's new album, Chemical Chords, is certainly a happier album than one might expect from this alternative band. Songs like "Neon Beanbag" have a sort of tongue-in-cheek go-go feel, while others are even reminiscent of happy Motown. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting for this show. ...

Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Excuse the histrionics and the cheap nod to Ginsburg, please. Perhaps I shouldn't have been so excited about seeing a band which has over the years dropped the qualifier from its label "experimental pop." Chemical Chords is a good album but compared with one of my favourites, Dots and [...] Related posts:Brand New Concert w/ Thrice and MeWithoutYou I rece...

By no means measurable, comfort in strangeness lies somewhere between true love and what one knows in one's heart about impressive characters played by impressive actors in movies. I appreciate, for example, that we like to trade secrets and bullshit around here in MOG with nearly as little affectation as would delight monks in a working monastery.I bring this up because posturing is an analogy...
