Light from a dead star

Stereolab, the band who gave this blog its name, have pretty much broken up, but that hasn't stopped them from releasing a new album this year anyway. Not Music, recorded at the same time as 2008's Chemical Chords, comes out 15 November.

Pop Molecule, hot as the Sahara Desert!

I thought the title for this blog was pretty cool when Madmadcat suggested it. But now, whenever I think of Pop Molecule, I think of this Shonen Knife song (and I have NO idea how it got into my brain)...even though Pop Molecule is the title of a Stereolab song. Listen to it, whenever Naoko sings the words "Hot Chocolate", just substitute "Pop Molecule" instead, and it fits perfectly. Check it out. Mel-mel-mel-mel-mel-mel-mel-mel-melting!
