hello, some news: it's my last day at stereogum 💫
after 10 years, i am getting out of the music blog game. going to grad school to try something new and maybe even "write a novel" ....
my email is open for whatever: jamsrettig

hellllooo some ✨life news✨: i'm moving to North Carolina in a few days! i'll still be doing what i'm doing at sgum so nothing will change ~online~ but now i won't live in New York 🙃 ok that's it, thank you!!
i've been reading stereogum since i was like 14 & i've been lucky enough to have been a part of it for almost 7 (!) years. there's no place on the internet quite like it + we want to keep it going. thanks for all the support already, long live blogs
i started at stereogum as an intern and never left. as you probably know, it is rare to have a stable job in media for so long & for that i must thank my work dad
@scottgum
. i grew up reading the site and am honored to have been a part of it for a decade
every year i force them to do this list!! thanks to everyone who wrote blarbs, thanks to the musicians for making the music, thanks to you for maybe even clicking (wild thought, i know) & listening! thanks !!
our annual best new bands list is here 💫 wrote about another michael, claire rousay, for your health, indigo de souza, parannoul, pinkpantheress, & skirts
my favorite fact about
@RyanLeas
was that he had never seen 'Almost Famous.' sadly had to ruin that, but i forced him to watch it for its 20th anniversary & then we talked 😎
anyway, everyone should just listen to this mannequin pussy song instead? "i still love you, you stupid fuck" is basically a taylor swift line if she was allowed to curse
