Stereogum is consistently one of my favorite places to write for and is super generous to its writers, both in keeping their voices so thoroughly intact and in its freelancing compensation. Help keep it active and help keep one more spot for great music writers alive, if you can.
For years, advertising has been how Stereogum made money to pay its writers. While we made progress moving away from that model, Google AI search has decimated the business almost overnight. Today we relaunch with a greater focus on subscription. We’d love your support: stereogum.com/2478838/ster...

It's a thing of beauty seeing how much love and care people have been taking with restoring what I genuinely believe is the greatest short film ever made
So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

Out today!!! If you love The Spiritual Sound as much as I do, now's a great time to (re)read my interview with Agriculture about all the influences that went into it
Had a blast talking with ecstatic black metal superstars @agriculturemusic.bsky.social for @stereogum.bsky.social about all the many inspirations in music, queer literature, and art that influenced their amazing upcoming record The Spiritual Sound
Agriculture On How Zen Buddhism, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, & More Influenced 'The Spiritual Sound'
It can be so hard to succinctly pin down what goes into the “ecstatic black metal” of Los Angeles band Agriculture that sometimes that self-proclaimed label feels incomplete. At the very least, the ba...

Jackass 3D is back in theaters this weekend, so now's a great time to revisit one of my favorite things I've written this year about the series ❤️
Hi, I'm Natalie Marlin, and this is Laughing With The Pain (my @bwdr.bsky.social essay on Jackass being an unconventional form of community, finding queer belonging, and displacing the prevalence of trans pain)
Jackass: Laughing With the Pain
One of Jackass’s perpetual charms is that it feels like it can belong to anybody, that anybody can become a part of it.
