FutureSex/LoveSounds came out 20 years ago today. I wrote about it for its 10th anniversary. Safe to say public perception of Justin Timberlake has changed quite a bit since then. Consider this a dispatch from a more starry-eyed moment:

FutureSex/LoveSounds Turns 10

Do you remember how weird and bad “SexyBack” sounded the first time you heard it? Very weird. Extremely bad. After watching his post-‘N Sync solo career pop off with 2002’s impeccable Justified, Justi...

Didn’t take long for Jeremiah Smith to remind everyone that he’s the best player in college football. The ball tracking is wild. Smith was Top 5 in the country in yards per route run (3.43), TD receptions (12), and 1st down receptions (55) at Ohio State last year.

"The splendor and sophistication of these tracks heralded a new era for indie music: rooted in classic pop, rock, and folk but tied to the avant-garde; hashed out in rock clubs but fit for conservatories; spacious and ghostly yet utterly visceral at times."

After revisiting Grizzly Bear's YELLOW HOUSE recently, I've never been more convinced that it was a paradigm-shifting classic. A look back for its 20th anniversary:

Stereogum is thrilled to publish an excerpt from @andrewdsacher.bsky.social's new book 'Emo Revival' today. This one's about the first Joyce Manor album. Lots of great history + a release show lineup that had me brimming with jealousy. Read it and pre-order the book:

For years, Andrew Sacher served as the resident emo aficionado at BrooklynVegan, shedding light on up-and-coming bands that other sites weren’t covering. He first announced his emo revival book back i...

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

The new Lily Seabird album is raw, intimate, and smolderingly intense. I hear traces of Neil Young, Jason Molina, Cat Power, and Big Thief, but mostly I hear a brilliant singer-songwriter coming into her own:

Album Of The Week: Lily Seabird 'Lightspheres On Their Way'

You’re probably wondering, “What’s a lightsphere?” Lily Seabird, who invented the term when she titled her new album Lightspheres On Your Way, defines a lightsphere as a catalyzing presence that peren...
