					<description><![CDATA[<p>Does any of this matter? For most of this year’s Grammys telecast, I could not shake the feeling that no, it really doesn’t make a difference who wins these trophies — maybe in terms of opening doors for certain artists or shifting the music industry’s tectonic plates, but not in the grand scheme of human life. When you zoom out that far, I’m still skeptical that glitzy awards shows helmed by bougie gatekeepers carry any cosmic relevance. But when the time came to bestow Album Of The Year upon Bad Bunny, it felt significant.&#160;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, <em>Billboard</em> deputy editor and Stereogum buddy Andrew Unterberger published <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/no-rap-songs-hot-100-top-40-first-time-since-1990-1236100625/">a piece</a> with some confusing implications: On last week's <em>Billboard</em> Hot 100, there were no rap songs in the top 40. The same holds true for this week's chart. It has been a very, very long since since we saw a <em>Billboard</em> top 40 with zero rap songs -- 35 years, in fact. The last time that happened was the week of Feb. 2, 1990, when Biz Markie's "Just A Friend" was sitting at #41, on it way to peaking at #9. This was the early crossover era, seven months before Vanilla Ice's "<a href="https://www.stereogum.com/2164461/the-number-ones-vanilla-ices-ice-ice-baby/columns/the-number-ones/">Ice Ice Baby</a>" became the first rap song ever to top the Hot 100. Up until very recently, rap has been a dominant force on the pop charts. But for the past two weeks, it's been nowhere near the top. That's weird. What does it mean?</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Mike Huguenor has clocked time in Shinobu, Hard Girls, and Jeff Rosenstock's band, and has two solo records of his own. Lately, though, he's been working on a book about the legacy of Mike Park's Asian Man Records. <em>Elvis Is Dead, I'm Still Alive</em> is a comprehensive history of the prolific San Jose-based DIY label, whose output includes Alkaline Trio, Less Than Jake, Bomb The Music Industry!, Joyce Manor, and countless more. The book arrives on Clash Books next year, and today we're doing a cover reveal and sharing an exclusive excerpt. Dive in below.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Listening to Chuquimamani-Condori bombard Faith Hill's "Breathe" with kullawada drums and meteoric explosions, drowning that pleasant Y2K-era country-pop song in an apocalypse of supernova bursts and charred alien remnants falling to earth, a flood of memories came rushing back: standing in Target with my parents, watching dozens of identical Faith Hills mouth the words from the rack of TV displays. Yet, as all artists should, Chuquimamani-Condori has bigger fish to fry than whether or not you relate to them. It's not a stretch to wonder if Alborada's supremely cheesy pan-global New Age hit "Ananau," which also gets its guts spilled on their recent 100-minute compilation <em>Edits</em>, triggers something in the Bolivian-American's mind akin to how I feel hearing the Faith Hill song. But to generate emotion via the Barnum effect is child's play. To make music that sounds like it was ripped straight out of your soul, to grab the listener by the collar and demand you feel exactly what you're feeling right now — that takes work, and guts, and Chuqimamani-Condori has proven again and again that they have both.<span id="more-2322592"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>It's all we have. The monoculture is gone. The American festival landscape is in steep decline. The pop charts are frozen in constant stasis, nothing moving anywhere until the next superstar album comes along and briefly mixes things up. Every piece of new music now exists in a state of competition with every piece of old music, and kids are more likely to stream music from past generations than anything made by their peers. The #1 song in America is by a fictional K-pop group from a Netflix cartoon. America continues to plunge toward a state of enshittified autocracy, and even the people in charge seem to be bored with the whole thing. Nobody likes Marvel movies anymore. The annual Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival is the only thing this side of Italian brainrot memes that can plausibly claim to unite large numbers of young people. God help us.<span id="more-2323042"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>People said they were Christians, but they were also freaks. They toured in a 42-foot 1976 MC8 Charter bus that ran on vegetable oil. They crashed on people's floors and ate out of dumpsters. They performed regularly at Cornerstone (the Coachella of Christian rock), released music on Tooth &#38; Nail Records (the Geffen Records of Christian rock), and their CDs were carried in evangelical Christian bookstores. But when I first saw mewithoutYou in the summer of 2008, the band was traveling with people that looked to me like hippies, men in long dresses and women with dreadlocks playing bagpipes and accordions, dancing around the stage like a circus, chanting praise to Allah. When I spoke with lead singer Aaron Weiss after the show, his massively oversized t-shirt with a daisy on it soaked with sweat, he told me that our bodies are like these T-shirts, just costumes that we put on, and if our spirits changed bodies, it would just be like if he and I traded T-shirts. I nodded, bewildered. This was a Christian band that made no sense to me as a teenager raised on Sunday sermons and Wednesday night youth group services. This was something else entirely.<span id="more-2311888"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>It's a little bit shocking when the voices come in. Even if you already knew <em>Opening Night</em> was a record of a live performance inaugurating a new experimental theater space in LA, you didn't expect the microphone to swoop so close to the action. Throughout the previous half-hour, the performance has remained at a professional remove from the audience, and yet as closing track "Opening Night" begins we're greeted by a flood of personalities, their conviviality a contrast to the icy, creeping music surrounding them.<span id="more-2302456"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Weird time to have the Grammys, eh? Thirty-three days into a year that has already seen this country beset by terrorist attacks, harrowing wildfires, deadly plane crashes, a dumbass trade war, a hostile executive campaign against all kinds of vulnerable minorities, and the possible end of American democracy as we know it, the music industry's power players gathered in a Los Angeles arena named after cryptocurrency platform to hold what has historically been a profoundly wack awards show.<span id="more-2295418"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>If you've read a take on the upcoming 67th Grammy Awards, happening this weekend, it may have been something about what a great year it's been "for women." And while for me that has a whiff of knuckleheaded condescension about it – every year is a "great year for women" if you're paying attention – it's true that it's been a huge <em>belated</em> breakthrough year for three brash women in pop. Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter brought a fresh, modern jolt to the landscape, and though the three have been in the game for a minute, at ages 32, 26 and 25 respectively, they're still getting started. Along with fellow nominees Gracie Abrams (25), Ariana Grande (31), and Grammy darling Billie Eilish (still only 23, she has nine Grammys and <em>32 nominations</em> to her name) – whoever wins on Sunday, in the pop categories, it's likely that youth will be served.<span id="more-2294619"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Twenty years ago, nearly to the day — on Jan. 22, 2005, at 11:30 p.m. ET — the great Paul Giamatti was midtown hosting <em>Saturday Night Live</em>. The actor was there to do all the "normal" ostensibly fun shit a <em>Saturday Night Live</em> host is there to do: deliver a monologue, crack some jokes, introduce musical guest Ludacris, hang out with Fred Armisen in a catsuit, etc. But Giamatti was also present with an ulterior motive, one that has long been utilized by actors at this exact moment on the calendar in the midst of an <em>SNL</em> season. He was campaigning for an Oscar.<span id="more-2294037"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Last year, I fell victim to Instagram reels. I scrolled for hours in morbid fascination at people making cocktails in their washing machine, ordering Dunkin’ coffees with 20 spoonfuls of sugar and 15 pumps of caramel, sprinkling Sour Patch Kids in a bowl of spaghetti. I realized that the internet has become a parody of itself; I wondered if it was even possible to satirize the Web in art anymore when <a href="https://www.stereogum.com/2290927/brain-rot/original-videos/">the absurdity is already so blatant</a>.<span id="more-2292578"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>On Sunday, November 24, 1974, Nick Drake went to bed at 10:30 p.m., earlier than usual. It was a dreary day at Far Leys, the Drake family estate in Tanworth-in-Arden, England, a village in the Warwickshire countryside. Nick, who had suffered a mental breakdown in April 1972, mostly spent the day in silence, a familiar pattern, ambling in and out of the family music room.<span id="more-2288658"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>I recently found myself in one of those "What's the strangest thing you did for entertainment during early quarantine?" conversations that somehow, almost half a decade later, people still aren't sick of having. The usual suspects popped up — sourdough starters and <em>Tiger King</em> and whatnot. When it was my turn to respond to the icebreaker, I shared that during one week towards the end of April 2020, I listened to every Car Seat Headrest album in chronological order — from the esoteric, near-indecipherable sandpapery pop-rock of the numbered albums, all the way up to the 2018 reimagining of Will Toledo's tangled teen angst rock opera, <em>Twin Fantasy</em>. All of it was in preparation for the group's most recent and in some ways most confusing LP to date, <a href="https://www.stereogum.com/2081810/car-seat-headrest-making-a-door-less-open-review/reviews/album-of-the-week/"><em>Making A Door Less Open</em></a>, which dropped just days after I finished my mission of lockdown-induced Car Seat Headrest completism.<span id="more-2285678"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Sergio Pizzorno bounces around in a half-ruffled/half-tassled all-denim getup that makes him look like he escaped from a Scissor Man attack at a Primark factory. Whenever he's not bouncing, he's kneeling or leaning, peacocking with a ceaseless desire to see mosh pits erupt in front of him. The crowd, spilling far out of the packed Woodsey Tent at Glastonbury, are all too happy to oblige, a sea of hopping loons oftentimes obscured by flare smoke shouting back almost every single word of the 13-song surprise set like it's Kasabian's 2014 headline slot all over again.<span id="more-2278093"></span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>When asked how he would like to live his remaining years, Luis Buñuel once said: "Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other 22 in dreams — provided I can remember them." Who knows what the great Spanish filmmaker might've conceived had he been a raver rather than a Surrealist.
