Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 01/10/2026Kim 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. 0244
Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 01/10/2026Solange wanted Tom to interview her for this release, but then there was a crisis once we published it! Happy 10th anniversary to someone giving a devastated Solange my phone number. Great album. 2140

Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 21/09/2026That was “Akron.” This one’s “Octoberland.” Bradford Cox played bass, hand bells, and a sampler, and he seemed in great spirits. He led “Happy Birthday” to his mom Edie, who turns 80 today, and thanked Making Time ∞’s Dave P: “If it weren’t for him I might’ve stayed at home for another seven years.” 0162
Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 20/09/2026Though he did participate in a seemingly spontaneous noise jam at an Athens vintage market in 2023, Deerhunter and Atlas Sound’s Bradford Cox has stayed out of the public eye this decade. Today, he returned to the stage with all new material at Philly’s Making Time ∞ – his first show in seven years. 214322

Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 17/09/2026In 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. 1111

Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 14/09/2026I went to the Norwegian Consulate in Manhattan, where all Norwegian musicians live when they play Bowery Ballroom (someone fact check that), to interview Bergen-born singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche. I practiced saying [ˈsɔndrə ˈlærkə] before we spoke and still got it wrong. 2181
Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 13/09/2026Yo La Tengo’s ‘I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass’ came out 20 years ago today. Which means it’s been 20 years since Matador bought a TerraPass to offset our flyaway from Manhattan to Jersey City (but not back). It was not eco-friendly and we wouldn’t do it now. But it was a great show. 2434

Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 04/09/2026One week ago, we were delighted by the surprise, under-the-radar release of ‘Temptation To Exist,’ a jazz noir album by the enigmatic Andrew W.K. For #fbf, and its imminent 25th (!) anniversary, here’s the party maestro’s debut single performed live on solo piano for Stereogum Sessions back in 2018. 1305

Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 01/08/2026Known as M2 for its first few years and initially available only via satellite, the network kicked off with Beck's "Where It's At." MTV2 is still around, but it largely stopped airing music videos about a decade ago. 172

Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 01/08/2026M2 featured both new and old videos from a broader array of artists than MTV. It was also the first cable channel to offer a 24-hour interactive computer service, letting viewers access synchronized artist and song information on a PC if they had an Intercast tuner card. 110
Scott Lapatine @scott.stereogum.com · 01/08/2026🧵 MTV2 launched 30 years ago today. The spinoff was conceived as an all-music-video counterpart to MTV, which had shifted toward broader entertainment programming. It was aimed at a slightly more mature audience ("perhaps 23 years old, instead of 21," as MTV Networks' president put it at the time). 1387
