I really need to get to listening to this. Stereolab never disappoint me.

they had some good stuff.
she's his ex wife and he played drums with them when they first started.
i really need to hear the new stereolab, i will search the blogs for it now...

dublin on the 13th... whoo hoo!

OMG the new Stereolab sucks so much it should be called "Terribe dorks" instead of "Chemical chords".
man EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!
and that's from someone who thinks they're a really great band.

^^^ Haha, what? I never saw that crazy message. Were you kidding?

New album leaked and it's FUCKING AMAZING. They've done it again! One of the few perfct bands. If anyone wants it, supposedly you can attach /?nrvmvijtxzck054 to mediafire and it might download. They're in my top 10 bands ever and I still am blown away by how flat out amazing this album is.

even by stereolab standards, it's a fucking masterpiece.

I can't wait to hear this. Stereolab are in my top 10 too.

whatever "comeback" tag this "new" album is going to get, i'm probably going to ignore it. stereolab have never released a less-than-good studio album in my books. it'll probably be a similar dealio to people fawning over murray street for whatever reason with me going, "comeback!? but they never went anywhere!"

still, looking forward to hearing it. laetita's solo LP was p. good, but i expect more out of this.

Looking forward. When they're on form they're nothing less than brilliant.

i haven't heard laetitia sadier's new solo record, but my band got to open for her earlier this year and her playing solo was one of the best things i've ever seen.

the trip is quite good, NOT MUSIC is a masterpiece, have listened to it 10 times. the only track I didn't like was that neon beanbag remix..

"Not Music" is the best thing I've heard all year.

I had Transient Random Noise-Bursts on my hard drive for a while already, this thread made me pick it up -- and wow, guess I shouldn't have been sleeping on this band for so long.

not music is the most unappropriate album title of all time...it is music...it is life...the album should have been called "everything here is great" it is a masterclass in stereolab !

50% of it is boring.

Tim Gane's new band Cavern of Anti-Matter are pretty rad. Only an ep but hopefully some new material soon

Saw them last month on the UK leg just after they had cancelled two other dates, with a very similar setlist. Can't say the band seemed delighted to be there though, and didn't really get anything by way of conversation.
The sound was abysmal for the first half (could hear literally no guitar from where I was stood), though it did get better and the last half-hour was excellent.

That’s a bummer with the sound starting off bad. I’m assuming the majority of that last half hour was, John Cage Bubblegum: )

My friend saw Stereolab play outside today at Pitchfork Festival in Chicago.


Laetitia’s dress is beautiful!

Pitchfork Festival
01. Percolator
02. French Disko
03. Miss Modular
04. Metronomic Underground
05. Infinity Girl
06. Lo Boob Oscillator
07. John Cage Bubblegum

Very much a greatest hits set. I'm surprised how large the venues they are playing now, compared to what they played when they were active before.
