Stereogum is a daily Internet publication that focuses on music news, song premieres, and irreverent commentary. The site was created in January 2002 by Scott Lapatine and is currently owned by SpinMedia. Stereogum was the first "MP3 blog" and has received several awards and citations, including the Plug Award for best music blog, Blender's Powergeek 25, and Entertainment Weekly's Best Music Websites. The site was named an Official Honoree of the Webby Awards in the music category and won the Omma Award for Web Site Excellence in the Entertainment/Music category. In 2011, Stereogum won The Village Voice's Music Blog of the Year. ==History== The site was named after a lyric from the song "Radio #1" by the French electronic duo Air.〔http://www.stereogum.com/1823047/qa-airs-jean-benoit-dunckel-on-the-future-of-the-band-working-with-sofia-coppola-and-inspiring-the-name-stereogum/franchises/interview/〕 Through its Band To Watch column, Stereogum was the first website to write about many now-popular bands like Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, Sleigh Bells, and Real Estate. Stereogum's first SXSW event in 2006 was hosted by the then-emerging comedian Aziz Ansari and featured a headline performance from Ted Leo. In the years since, Stereogum's events have included sets from Ben Gibbard, Sky Ferreira, Savages, Beach House, St. Vincent, Deerhunter, Cults, and other popular indie acts. In late 2006, Stereogum received an influx of capital through Bob Pittman's private investment entity The Pilot Group. In November 2007, it was purchased by Spin Media (FKA BUZZMedia). April 2008 saw the launch of Videogum, a sister site focused on television, movies, and Web videos. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stereogum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
