In 2009, Nick Cave published The Death Of Bunny Munro, a darkly comic novel about a sex-addicted salesman. I read it for work, and I hated it. When The Death Of Bunny Munro first came out, Cave and his frequent collaborator Warren Ellis scored the audiobook. Now, The Death Of Bunny Munro has been adapted… The post Nick Cave & Warren Ellis Release <em>The Death Of Bunny Munro</em> Soundtrack appeared first on Stereogum. View the full article

The emotive Baltimore punks Pinkshift released their album Earthkeeper earlier this year, and the followed it by releasing the single “Authority Problem” and a live cover of Slipknot’s “Eyeless.” Now, we’re getting one last Pinkshift track before the year is out. It’s a pretty, shimmery, largely acoustic song called “Snow.” I don’t know whether it… The post Pinkshift – “Snow” appeared first on Stereogum. View the full article

Allow me to pull the curtain back on the way that this particular website operates during the holidays. Once we finalize all our year-end lists, things tend to get way slower around here, and Scott lets us take most of late December off. But someone is always working. Scott is always working, pretty much for his entire life, and one writer per day handles the blog posts. We just divide all of them up among us. Even on Christmas day, someone is posting away. And I have to tell you: On the days when I'm working, I really look forward to blogging about whatever happened at the previous night's Yo La Tengo Hanukkah show.

Ultra-famous superfriends SZA and Kendrick Lamar spent most of 2025 on what amounts to one long victory lap together. They played the Super Bowl. Their song "Luther" topped the Hot 100 for months, and the two of them took their stadium show all over the world. (I caught the Raleigh date, and it was great.) But SZA and Kendrick Lamar remain perfectly capable of playing non-stadium rooms — venues like crystal shops and housing-project toy drives.

It's Cameron Winter Winter. You already knew this. Geese's Getting Killed is the critical-consensus album of the year, and it's topping all kinds of year-end lists, including ours. Winter's solo debut Heavy Metal is also placing high on lots of year-end lists, even though it technically came out last year. (Maybe last winter was Cameron Winter Winter, too.) Right now, Winter is on a short run of solo shows. In New York, Paul Thomas Anderson and Benny Safdie filmed his performance. In Los Angeles, he covered This Is Lorelei and debuted a new song. In Chicago, he did another new song. The post Cameron Winter Gives Chicago New Song, Gets Photo Ops With Debbie Harry And Jeff Tweedy appeared first on Stereogum. View the full article

Ever since the early Beatles days, Paul McCartney's signature instrument has been the Höfner 500/1 violin bass guitar. In 1961, an 18-year-old McCartney bought the instrument in Hamburg for £30. That was McCartney's primary instrument for the Beatles' entire run. His bass was stolen in 1972, and it was returned to him more than 50 years later after someone found it in an attic. Now, the German manufacturer Höfner is going out of business, and McCartney has given the company a fond sendoff.

It’s easy to pinpoint when trends in music begin: People rally around a specific band or album, a new scene forms around a shared sensibility, or a particular sound permeates the zeitgeist. It’s more difficult to determine when something ends. After years of slowly creeping back into the fore, shoegaze’s popularity exploded in 2023 due to a confluence of new fans, new bands, and fresh energy. That's the year I locate as the formal beginning of a new shoegaze era, and it’s safe to say that we’re still living through that same period even as 2025 comes to a close. Some of the revival’s most crucial bands have evolved away from shoegaze proper (Wednesday, Hotline TNT, Greet Death), and many of the new-jack fans who never engaged with the genre beyond Deftones TikToks have predictably dropped out, but if you look at the numbers, the fervor around shoegaze music remains at a fever pitch.

Indie rock legends Yo La Tengo are now one third of the way through their annual Hanukkah residency at New York's Bowery Ballroom. The band's Hanukkah shows always feature cool covers and surprise guests, and this year's shows have been especially action-packed. In the first few nights, they paid tribute to. Ace Frehley and Spinal Tap, and their guests included Built To Spill's Doug Martsch and former SNL star Ana Gasteyer. On Wednesday, the band's night-four show ended with an all-star cover of a Patti Smith classic.
