Another big week, with three huge releases hitting today - Los Campesinos! new album Romance Is Boring , Beach House's new record Teen Dream and The Magnetic Field's new one Realism . All promise to be some of the best records this year and we are already only through one month. These are the ones that certainly jump out to me, but which ones are you guys pumped about? New Music Releases - January 26th, 2010: - Animal Collective - Campfire Songs (Reissue) [...]

It is that time of year once again, to break down the top releases of the year. This year was certainly a bit more scattered than last year and there was more room and less heavyweight releases this year to clog up the lists. We don't have a collective list this year due to time constraints and what not, but I have put together a list of the albums that I really remember being special this year, so check it out. 10. Jay-Z - The Blueprint 3 [...]

Trippy, strange, fitting. Video for "In The Flowers" from the ubiquitous Merriweather Post Pavilion . They also have a new EP called Fall Be Kind coming out later this month digitally and in December in physical terrestrial CD format.

The hype machine that is Animal Collective stopped by the House of Blues the other night to drop their tribal electronic jams on the crowd, and although I am not one of those people who is a die-hard AnCo lover, the show was really really good and they pretty much delivered in every way you could want for their show. The lighting was pretty much non-existant so it was impossible to see them for the most part, with their rigs lit up from the front and some giant balloon lit up on [...]
Here they are doing "Summertime Clothes" from Merriweather on Letterman last night, strange background dancers and all.

This is a rather big week here with all of the basketball going on, selection sunday and of course St. Patrick's Day festivities on Saturday. Quite a few news stories out there as well. 1. SXSW Is One Week Away Technically, the film/interactive has already started I think, but for us we will be down there starting on Thursday. Should be a good time, it is our first time going so we are pumped. Also in the news today, Metallica has been confirmed for Friday night [...]

Well, here we go, time for me to jump into the same thing that everyone else on Earth had done like 3 weeks ago, write a review of "Merriweather Post Pavilion". I hadn't really bothered thus far because of several reasons. Let me just get out of the way right now that I do like the album. I think it has a pretty cool sound and has some really interesting sounds on it that come together very well. The problem is that this album hasn't really jumped up and grabbed me yet, like it has for [...]

Not long after Coachella got announced last week , last night the Bonnaroo lineup came out, and it is also incredibly solid. The Boss will be headlining, hopefully featuring epic crotch slides , with 2 shows by Phish, the Beasties, NIN and a slew of indie superstars including the hottest band of the moment right now, Animal Collective . Grizzly Bear will be there with some new material no doubt, and the greatness of Bon Iver will also make an appearance. Girl Talk looks like he is going [...]

Their new album is dropping on the world in CD form today , having already been released on vinyl a few weeks back, which is streaming here for your perusal , and now they have announced a world tour to go along with said album. I have always heard these guys are really good live, but unfortunately I have never caught them. I was in prime position to see them last year at the Pitchfork Music Fest but the stars didn't align for me and it didn't quite happen (they were on the soaky, muddy second day [...]

Well I had already alluded to some of the new album streamin going on a few weeks ago , but now release day is here for some pretty big releases and streams are up and streaming so you can decide where to place your hard-earned dollars. Spinner has quite a few up, and here is the list: - A.C. Newman's Get Guilty - Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion - Bon Iver's Blood Bank EP - Matt & Kim's Grand So [...]
