Stereolab

<p>All this business of R and F being back on the air and talk of the old NEW days has me looking back to a different time. At that time I used to listen to the band Stereolab. I wonder if youve heard of them. I saw them live once at Irving Plaza. VW used one of their songs for a commercial, but I used to listen to the on WNYU. </p><p>http://www.myspace.com/stereolab&nbsp; </p>

sterolab had some top quality tunes..'french disco' was a staple on indie radio over here back in the day. apparently they are great live but i never saw em..they still going?

<p>I love the Dots and Loops album. Someone gave me the promo copy of it in 97 and I wore it out. They've had some hits and misses over the years, but anytime they get back to that kind of sound they had in that album I will listen.</p><p>It reminds me of the kind of background music they had in grocery stores twenty years ago. You can just roll your eyes back and drift.</p>

Transient Random Noise Bursts With annoucements is my personal favorite. I've seen them multiple times love them.

<p>I used listen to a lot of Stereolab ca. 1996-98. Nice droney vibe - perfect for when you get tired of your Velvets and Yo La Tengo albums, but&nbsp;want a&nbsp;similar feel. I vividly&nbsp;remember driving solo to New Orleans in the fall of 1998 with three tapes: Howlin' Wolf, Leonard Cohen and Stereolab's Emperor Tomato Club. It was surprisingly dandy swamp music.</p><p>I remember their backup vocalist Mary Hansen died in a bicycle accident in 2002. Haven't heard much from them since then, but I gather they're still active.</p>
