I have no idea what to make of PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN whose influences include "super smash bros" and "the support of my friends"

haha i saw that band name the other day and just shook my head. i guess that's in the same category as that abe vigoda band, although it's weird that the references have now gone from lol old character actors to someone who's in oscar flicks and hip indie movies now.

the ship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (some dude), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 17:29 (sixteen years ago)

yeah at least with Abe Vigoda, I knew right away it was band. With this I was like, "they guy who jizzes on the wall in Happines is opening for Tobacco?"

dipster purpies (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 17:34 (sixteen years ago)

also, re: bands named after actors, HANE KODDER is kind of the best one going

i'm shocked that there's not a band called River Phoenix yet

The thing that's so far ruining it all for me is the vocals. I'm just annoyed that most of these singers are still singing like Panda Bear or whoever came out with the idea of sounding like Brian Wilson singing from the bottom of a water tank? It's like the Vedder syndrome of the '10s (OK, late '00s) and I'm fucking sick to death of it. Just getting a girl to sing would do it for me in most cases.

^^ this cannot be said enough ^^

It would actually get tedious and Twilight Zone-y if it were repeated forever by everyone you know.

small black:
The winter of 2008/2009 found old friends Ryan Heyner and Josh Kolenik holed up in the attic of Uncle Matt's Long Island home. Those cold weekend days saw Small Black drinking Crystal Light, watching Waterworld, and plugging away on their casios and samplers, while Kolenik's uncle shaped surfboards in the basement.

yo anyone remember hit stixx??

Exposure: Peter Gabriel/Neon Indian

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up5Urqxw6sk

My vision was that Stereogum would film Peter having an “exchange of ideas” with a like-minded young artist, much in the spirit of Scratch My Back and its forthcoming companion I’ll Scratch Yours. I heard that Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo was also a PG fan, and he agreed to join.
