Stereogum — '90s pop-alternative fixtures Eve 6 and Fastball are going on tour together, and they made a funny video to promote it. More specifically, Patrick Stickles made the video. The Titus Andronicus frontman — whose fans are definitely devoted, no matter what Ian Cohen says — directed the lo-fi clip, which emphasizes the value of an Eve 6/Fastball co-bill. Whereas many '90s nostalgia tours will only afford you two or three hits, this one presents you with six.

Stereogum — Jay-Z, whose last solo album arrived nearly a decade ago at this point, is still relevant as ever. This May he'll be performing with the Roots as the headliner of their annual Roots Picnic, and in July he'll be playing three hometown shows at Yankee Stadium: One celebrating the 30th anniversary of his debut album Reasonable Doubt, one for 25 years of The Blueprint, and a newly-announced third "Extra Innings" show that we're assuming will compile his greatest hits from other albums. Sounds like it's a good time for Jay to sit down for an interview. The post World’s Richest Musician Jay-Z Defends Billionaires appeared first on Stereogum. more info

Stereogum — There’s nothing pernicious about this new Joe Pernice song. “I’d Rather Look Away,” from the veteran singer-songwriter and Pernice Brother/Scud Mountain Boy’s new solo studio album Sunny, I Was Wrong, pairs him with Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub. That’s a dream pairing for a certain Type Of Guy, and Pernice and Blake deliver with a… The post Joe Pernice – “I’d Rather Look Away” (Feat.

Stereogum — It's extremely cool that Gun N' Roses are now a perfectly functional stadium act with Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan back in the fold and co-existing relatively comfortably. But that's not exactly a true Guns N' Roses reunion. Even in their classic era, before things got all weird, the band had a ton of members coming in and out, and those guys were characters. Izzy Stradlin? Matt Sorum? Guys like that were key to the mythology, and most of them aren't back in the band now. But on Monday night, a bunch of them got together in Los Angeles.
