In other Moz news, there is one more day to bid on morrissey.com in a new auction at GoDaddy. www.godaddy.com/domain-aucti... Johnny Marr has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Pixies formed 40 years ago this month when Kim Deal answered Black Francis’ ad in ‘The Boston Phoenix.’ She arrived at the audition without a bass since she’d never played one before. Guitarist Joey Santiago picked “pixies” from a dictionary, suggesting Pixies In Panoply as their name. #tbt

Stereogum turns 24 years old on Jan. 1! This wouldn’t be possible without the support of paying subscribers. Thank you all! Since I no longer have access to Best Comments data for a NYE post, I ranked our most cursed headlines of the year. Maybe a new tradition? stereogum.com/2483873/curs... HNY

Someone DM'd me about finding an old Stereogum Session. Facebook recently took down old livestreams, so I've restored 60+ of them on YouTube. These were supposed to be acoustic (we were in the Billboard office then) and we got in trouble because Fontaines DC were loud. 😂 youtube.com/@stereogum?s...

My 17th annual tribute to the bands who broke up in the past year though it’s getting difficult to say which are really over. Some groups from last year’s montage already reunited, even if just for one night (hi METZ). One band in 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳’𝘴 video announced a gig while I was writing this caption. 🙃

thanks Joey in the Stereogum Discord for telling me about this Sloshy lyric

“You can spatchcock anything”

In this fight we find ourselves in—the struggle for independence in the modern age—, we need to fearlessly push back against all market concentration wherever it arises. I wrote an essay from the heart and mind about independence and the current state of culture industries.

Dove Ellis is a major talent who we recently named one of Stereogum’s 40 Best New Artists Of 2025. The Irish singer/songwriter plays swooning sophisti-pop with soaring vocals reminiscent of Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley, and tonight he made his NYC debut at Main Drag.
