Photography by Me, with a shitty mobile phone , then processed through Poladroid ! Well, it's Monday, Craftin' Outlaws is done (and was fucking awesome), my sis (pictured above) has come, had fun, kicked ass, took names, rode bikes, and, unfortunately, flew out ... And all that means is that it's time to start a new week, start some new adventures and start celebrating what is now and what is about to come! So.... what is now? Good question.... [...]
![Curiosities #15: CANT [feat. Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor] - "Ghost" - Terrible Records](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2051633_lg.jpg)
After the u nmitigated gooooooooooooooooooodness of Department Of Eagles , a Grizzly Bear side project, I'm willing to listen to anything emerging from the Grizz camp. I'm not a total douche about it -- Pitchfork ranked Veckatimest the 42nd-best album of the decade; HOLY GOD WHAT A JOKE -- but I consider myself a fan. Now, CANT -- helmed by GB's Chris Taylor [...]
![Past Blast Volume 1, Chapter 8: Department Of Eagles - In Ear Park - 4AD [2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1994934_lg.jpg)
What with all the attention given to Grizzly Bear and their latest release Veckatimest (peep my semi-controversial review HERE), everyone seems to have forgotten about one of the better albums of last year, In Ear Park . Department Of Eagles , by the way, is three-fourths of Grizzly Bear and a college buddy, and it's a helluva a side project that is easily vibrant as the Mother Ship and even tougher to pin to specific influences. The most underrated strength [...]
![[MP3's] A Mixed Bag](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1948122_lg.jpg)
The reason why I called this post "A Mixed Bag" is mainly because I've included songs from 1968, 1970, and all the way to 2009. I don't think I have ever, during the life of this blog, posted anything from the 60's. I think I may have posted some 70's stuff before but not sure. Well, you all know by now that I love lists. And, I've talked a lot about Mojo Magazine . In their latest edition they have a section called "The Mojo Playlist". It's basically a list of Mojo's Top Ten tracks that they've [...]

A fan of Department of Eagles with the username Callacam98 on YouTube made a video for their track 'Teenagers'. The imagery goes well with the teenagers line in the song. The vieo is fun to watch and reminds me of when I was really young. With not much going on with the... Click the link to read more

All of that is true. Also true: With the current expansive fawning over Grizzly Bear it could be easy to temporarily forget about Dan Rossen's Department Of Eagles. It gets more difficult, though, when In Ear Park 's title track is soundtracking Soft Bank commercials featuring Brad Pitt and a sensitive sumo wrestler. It gets slightly easier again when you find out the commercial's only airing in Japan, but more people watch YouTube than television (unsubstantiated claim), so that's not a legit hurdle. Anyone care to interpret? Continue reading Department Of Eagles Sell Us Brad [...]

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I wanted to look at my best of from 2008 and mention some overlooked music. I had originally intended to include everything in one massive post but we split it up into two days worth. Looking back at my best-of list for 2008 I know the order in which I ranked songs would change a bit compared to how I feel now. Some tracks would certainly be added while others possibly removed and I already mentioned Copeland a while ago. When it boils down to it there [...]
Singer-songwriter Daniel Rossen who has been known for great covers, Jojo's 'Too Little, Too Late' and known for writing some good songs on the side contributed a cover of Judee Sill's 'Waterfall' for her new tribute album. His cover features his signature croon and... Click the link to read more
I know I know...another Phoenix remix...but it's a good one...of course not as good as the original...but a good alternate and completely different feeling song because of the work of LA's Doctor Rosen Rosen . He takes the bright pop song and dips into some trip hop underwater grooves that reminds Enigma sometimes (yup it's got a trance vibe too). All in all it's a pretty grand mood change from the original and I enjoyed it a lot. mp3: Phoenix - Lisztomania (Doctor Rosen Rosen Remix) more from DRR: [...]
Veckatimest Grizzly Bear Warp Daniel Rossen es un nombre que para muchos pasa desapercibido, pero para otros tantos es uno de los músicos más brillantes e inventivos de la década. Muestras de ello son sus últimos trabajos con Department Of Eagles y, en especial, con Grizzly Bear. Es en este proyecto donde han surgido melodías audaces, misteriosas, de hechura compleja y resultados encantadores. Así es Veckatimest , un álbum tejido con hilos que aparentan aspereza, pero que una vez entrelazados acarician el alma [...]
It can be difficult to gain a balanced perspective on an album after reading a single summary of the music. Bias can tilt a review, as can personal taste, history and just about everything else that is unique to the person writing it. So in an effort to offer an expanded perspective in such a medium, here are four reactions, four impressions, Four Takes on Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear.
: Our Favorite Artists and Their Favorite Love Songs I don't have a lot to say about this album compilation from Starbucks but AMAZING! There is an eclectic mix of genres from country to techno and these noteworthy artists did justice to their favorite love songs. Most if not all acoustic versions of the originals and listening to the tracks just give it a coffeehouse vibe (pun intended). Audio quality is great, so nothing to worry about! Get a taste of the [...]
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars At this point in the year, it seems pretty redundant to discuss this album, especially considering all the accolades it has received during the time in which the album leaked onto the Internet. But, be that as it may, one really has to take a look at this album; you would be doing yourself an injustice to ignore Grizzly Bear at this point, and your record collection would be worse off for not adding Veckatimest to your catalog. Even on the [...]
