Stereogum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stereogum is a website maintained by Scott Lapatine and Amrit Singh about celebrity gossip and indie music. The so-called "music blog" or MP3 blog regularly posts mp3s of new music. It reviews records, announces tourdates, and covers music news such as festivals and artist happenings.

The blog recently received an influx of capital through Bob Pittman's investing entity The Pilot Group, and former MTV Networks Chief Digital Officer Jason Hirschhorn.
