Words by Will I lie to myself. I like to convince that I am worldly and cultured. Sadly, I know the opposite to be true. But worldly music leanings are a strong first step in my culturing process. Maybe, one day I will be able to escape my own preconceived bullshit. Maybe, just maybe, hopefully, you (the esteemed and probably much more cultured audience) can take this journey with me. As such, I present Brussels heavy pop quartet BRNS . This is a formal informal introduction. By reading this, you will become more cultured. As [...]

Every year, a new crop of band's headlines Los Angeles' iconic Hollywood Bowl and can officially say, you know, they've made it. Last year it was bands like TV On The Radio and The National, while the year before that saw Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, and LCD Soundsystem. As the LA Times reports, a couple of this year's crop may be interesting to you readers, as they are Animal Collective and one-two punch of Hot Chip and Passion Pit. Of course, Panda Bear just played the bowl last year supporting TV On The Radio and Hot Chip [...]
Savaging Spires - When The Devil Says He's Dead Talked about these guys here ; not wearing me down yet.
I don't mean to be a prude when I do this, but we all had favourite albums last year, you can't deny that, and I had too many. In fact, so many that I loved that it was difficult to decide between them all, and I had been reading endless 'trendy choice' end-of-year lists before the year had even gone out. So I thought I might deliver some kind of personal justice by posting one that people can sneer at all they want, but might actually pick out something they overlooked and think "Hey, I might actually try that now, [...]
As we move into a new year, one of the strangest pieces of news has been revealed. Album sales in 2011 actually went up for the first time in almost a decade. Granted it was mostly due to Adele's incredibly popular album...that still proves that the album as a musical format is still very viable. And while all the news articles still like to pronounce the death of rock and how pop has
Pretty simple. Watch a cool time-lapse video of Animal Collective as they record their record Strawberry Jam . Strawberry Time Lapse from animal collective on Vimeo .
En 2007, Animal Collective trabajaba en lo que sería su séptimo album, el productor, Scott Colburn colocó una cámara de video para tomar clips cortos en intervalos de un minuto mientras la banda estaba en el estudio de grabación, y ahora han sacado a la luz ese material. El mensaje en la página de video de la banda dice: "Our tracking session for Strawberry Jam in Tucson at Wavelab Studios in 2007. We post this about 2 weeks before we will be heading into the studio to begin recording our next record. Thanks to everyone for [...]
The entire recording process is cut down to 9 minutes.
Yesterday a video on the Animal Collective Vimeo page popped up, along with the following info: Scott Colburn had a great idea when we were recording Strawberry Jam. He set up a video camera to take short clips of footage once a minute for the whole time we were in the studio. This is the unedited result. Our tracking session for Strawberry Jam in Tucson at Wavelab Studios in 2007. We post this about 2 weeks before we will be heading into the studio to begin recording our next [...]
WATCH: The band have posted a time-lapse video of the recording of Strawberry Jam...
2012 is poised to be one of the greatest years in music in awhile. Why? Well, I'll give you a hint: it isn't because Justin Bieber is set to have an album coming out. In fact, I don't even know whether that's true or not. It's exciting because Phoenix, Spoon, Delta Spirit, Mumford & Sons, P.O.S., Passion Pit, Animal Collective, The Shins, Brother Ali, Dr. Dre, Miike Snow, Lana Del Rey, Andrew Bird, Sleigh Bells , and the xx are poised to release albums. That's not even including all of the new or smaller bands that will [...]
When you compile a list like this, you start to tremble at how much you're really going to absorb in the ensuing months. This doesn't even cover the misses and surprises. If you're a casual listener, you might get through an album a day. Okay, maybe two. If you're a fanatic, you're spinning discographies left and right. Still, after 365 days, either person is buzzing. One's just a little louder with the phonetics. As I wrote back in December, in a year, you'll have your next roundup of favorite albums. You'll have a new favorite song. You might [...]
It's been a long year. Scratch that, it's been a veeerrrry long year. From social revolutions to the end of our occupation of Iraq, from the death of celebrities and dictators to a man who sneezes bullets and the mystery of planking, the world experienced a slew of emotions and all sorts of cultural and political upheaval in 2011. And that's not even counting the plethora of music news that had the blogosphere abuzz this year . So, as the question begs, what comes next? Well, 2012. If you were to believe certain [...]
Heycoolkid! 100 Best Songs Of 2011 - (26 - 40) . . 40. Hey Rosetta! - "Bandages" Before saying anything about this song, I fully realize that "Bandages" was not released in 2011. It was though new to me this year and the video they put out over the summer for it really impressed me. [...]
Like Panda Bear? Great. Enjoy psychedelics? Even better, if you intend on watching this video. If Lennox's songs weren't already enough of a mind trip, Danny Perez turned in a music video for "You Can Count on Me" that seems designed for a certain kind of consumption
Animal Collective's Panda Bear with visuals for "You Can Count On Me" off the 2011 contender Tomboy, directed by Danny Perez.
Panda Bear 's new video for "You Can Count on Me" features many psychedelic images that turn into a dog licking his lips at the end. So appropriate for Panda Bear though. You can still pick up the special edition of Tomboy over at Paw Tracks now . A very nice holiday gift for any Animal Collective fan out there. Panda Bear - "You Can Count On Me"
