Thanks To Camilo for this great artwork. Looking back at 2012, there were plenty of albums that I loved. Was it the best year of music in recent memory? Maybe not, but it was a damn good year in its own right. There is a lot that we may look back on and remember well into the rest of the decade. This year I listed my Top 40 albums, as well as a few honorable mentions that were as close to making my list as they come. I didn't get to listen [...]
Favorite Songs of 2012: Part 2 (50-1) You will have to take these list rankings with a grain of salt, because although I tried my best to accurately arrange the tracks, I change it every time I listen to one of the songs. I also only included my favorite song from each artist, so there are no doubles (except for I think one person, but they were part of two different groups). A few songs are also technically from before 2012, but they all appear on albums or [...]

En este 2012, los Dirty Projectors me han pillado con el pie cambiado. Son un grupo al que le tengo una cierta manía, lo reconozco, en gran medida debida (que no justificada) a la sobreexposición de " Stillness Is The Move " en 2009. Supongo que, en el fondo, la culpa no es de ellos, sino de esa oleada que nos arrasó como un tsunami a partir del debut de los Vampire Weekend en 2008, que parecía que si no metías una kora (ahora estamos con el ukelele, otra cruz) en tu single llenapistas eras un apestado. Ni [...]

Some experimental pop and electro-funk sounds to brighten up your Monday. First up, this year's Mercury Prize winners, alt-J, followed by the always impressive and ambitious experimental psych-rock of Animal Collective (back with their ninth studio album). After that, the energetic indie pop and fusion sounds from the London based quartet, Django Django, along with the infectious party-pop sounds of Anthens, GA, based Reptar. Last, but certainly not least, the global sounds of dance pop duo, The Very Best, and Brooklyn's experimental rock trio, Yeasayer. Enjoy. [...]

Stream: http://radio.myanimalhome.net/ In case you missed all the hubbub last night when Animal Collective streamed their new album Centipede Hz in full on the latest installment of their internet radio program, the full album has been archived for streaming on the band's website. You can either stream it in full, or stream each individual track at your leisure. Each song is accompanied by an animated video directed by Avey Tare's sister Abby Portner, who has directed some videos for the band in the past and created the distinctive album art for Avey's 2010 [...]

The word “interesting,” ironically, may be the least interesting adjective in the English language. It pretends to make an opinion without really saying anything about the subject. To say something is interesting is to say that it captured your attention and held it for a certain period of time, long enough for you to think with at least a sliver of consideration and, hopefully, to form an opinion, but apparently not a very strong one. Interesting is lukewarm and does not communicate anything terribly precise. In some cases, however, it can be the best way to describe something, [...]
Animal Collective finally drops its first track from the experimental music group's highly anticipated 9th album, Centipede Hz . Of course, it'll be out on Domino Records.
Maryland's Animal Collective have announced a short tour of the UK for November 2012. The mini tour culminates with an appearance at the Warehouse Project in Manchester on the 8th of November (which, come to think of it, is kind of weird...because it's the Warehouse Project over? ). Tickets go on sale soon. Sunday 4th November 2012 - London Roundhouse Tuesday 6th November 2012 - Dublin Vicar Street Wednesday 7th November 2012 - Glasgow ABC1 [...]
