Ladies/juggalos –

Stopped reading here.

please tell me no one here reads this blog.

I think you'd be surprised.

Alexa's "Traffic Rank in US":

P4k - 915
Stereogum - 3,394
Spin - 5,766

I used to read Stereogum when it was just Scott writing and it was just a funny blog. Now it just seems like work (to read and write).

ilxor.com - 30,365

Hahaha

;-)

I'm okay with the more fleshed-out Stereogum and it's Pitchforkish layout now, but the logo redesign? zzzzzzzz

Who thought that changing from this...

to this...

...was in any way a good idea? BORING.

more bars in more places imo

Yeah, I can't cite any specifics, but it seems like LED bars have been done to death in music blog/press logos.

Can someone tell me the genesis of the "gum" suffix in Stereogum, Videogum, et al. There's other sites not owned by them that use it too, but I can't rrmember their names

Stereogum was the first time I'd heard it used.

There was like an influx of -gum sites like 2007, and i was wondering if they were all ripping of stereogum or if gum just means something.

i haven't figured out your place in all this yet, dyao, but i'm working on it ;)

Babelgum was the biggest one that came in Sgum's wake. Are they simply swagger-jackers or does -gum mean something in internet talk?

always assumed that babelgum was a pun on bubblegum?

I knew the editor of Videogum in lolcollege.

Metrogum is another one! What's with all the gum?

i always assumed they were part of the same Internet cabal. they're not?

Nah Rightgum

The Daily Mugrat would be a better name

Stereogum and Videogum are connected

Babelgum and Metrogum are on some other gum shit that is curious

the entire background is an ad right now

The dance card: Team Please Don’t Tell (Jon Glaser, Patrick Borelli, Dawn Landes, Doveman, Sondre Lerche) vs. Team Not Seattle Team Strike Force (Gabe Delahaye, Max Silvestri, Marnie Stern, Jemina Pearl, Kip Berman). Congratulations, winning team that was just revealed in that video!

@1000TimesYes: I guess this is a good time as any to announce I'm taking over for @amritsingh at @stereogum. Thx to @scottgum for inviting me to the party

Congrats Whiney! <3

I missed that Amrit left in 2013. I guess I can read Stereogum again after a ten year hiatus. (For all I know, he became less irritating over time, but that dude SUUUUUUCKED SO HARD when he started.)

This article has gone through some interesting revisions, distressing stuff

I....didn't know Billboard owned Stereogum to begin with.
