New Video : Animal Collective : Brothersport
Animal Collective sure don’t invest much money in their videos, but you probably wouldn’t like them as much if the did. They prefer to focus their video energy on making sure if you are on drugs, when you watch their vids, you have a complete and total freakout. Their third official video release from their incredible 2009 release Merriweather Post Pavilion is for Brothersport.
Guest top 10s: The Zookeepers
The Zookeepers biffed out our number one record of 2009 - Ballin’ Outrageous. Think of all the amazing records this year - there is a shitload of them - and in our opinion Ballin’ Outrageous is better than all of the rest of them. Here are The Zookeepers favourite albums of 2009, handily arranged in alphabetical order. Good to see they’re not afraid of including their...

Pitchfork violates blog ethics, posts Panda Bear unauthorized tracks
Link: http://pitchfork.com/news/39421-hear-panda-bears-tomboy-7-now/ MP3 blogs are hotbeds for illegal, leaked MP3s fueled by the hypemachine/googleSEO era.

Leaky Faucet - Animal Collective, Beach House etc.
Who: Beach House Title: Teen Dream Release Date: January 26th Label: Sub Pop Thoughts: At this point I have to assume that all of you have heard the fantastic new record from Beach House. Sure it doesn’t officially see the light of day until January, but the way it has been lighting up the blogs and the torrent sites the past week makes us believe someone has been listening. So you should...
WALKABOUT
This track is all over the place by now, but such a match made in heaven cant be ignored. Bradford Cox (Deerhunter & Atlas Sound) and Noah Lennox (Panda Bear from Animal Collective) have teamed up to produce one of the most gorgeous, bouncy dream-pop tracks of the past few years. I really hope the rest of the upcoming Atlas Sound LP is as good as this. Kinda reminds me of good times....

Lollapalooza 2009 - Recap and Day One Photos
The last Lollapalooza of the this decade is in the books and despite, what on paper, looked like a less than impressive lineup, it turned out another weekend of exciting and memorable moments just as in years past. Every year going at Lolla, one is expected to battle oppressive heat, but on Friday this year, Mother Nature decided to throw in a little something extra - a rain storm that only...

Women - Women
It’s a curious name these four Canadian men have taken. If there was a definite article, or if the music were very different, you could maybe put it down to macho attention-seeking or glammy affectation. In fact, ‘women’ is simply the opposite of what they collectively are: an erasure of self that extends to the cover of their debut album, an old Felix Greene photograph of...
