by charles poladian So it's this time again. I know what you're thinking, what now? Well, it's near the end of the year and near the end of the decade, so it's all about the list. What's the best toy to get, what's the best album of 2009, what's the best album of the first decade of 2000, what's the worst album of 2009, it all becomes too much. I guess we're all obsessive in that way, we need lists to categorize [...]

For some reason it has taken me a little longer than everyone else to get into Vekatimest , the new album from Grizzly Bear . I don't really have a reason for this, sometimes an album doesn't seem like anything special and then it just hits you like a ton of bricks. I went all-in on Vekatimest just in time for the debut of the new video for "Ready, Able". [...]
Grizzly Bear's "Ready, Able," music video was just released within the week. Thanks to You're Ex-Lover Is Dead (which mind you is a rad music blog name in comparison to SFCritic), I was put onto this spectacular video. From the album, Veckatimest, "Ready, Able" is just one of the many amazing tracks from this album which will be on one of my top albums of the year list. The video is a sparkling of images, colors, and melding of claymation. I won't get in depth with my philosophical experience,... Read more at www.SFCritic.com
When I was watching Grizzly Bear at the Treasure Island Music Festival, I had a revelation waft over me. I'd always considered Grizzly Bear to be serious, quiet, and musically complex. But it wasn't until the major cloud of weed smoke appeared that I realized that they're a stoner band! And also, similar to Steely Dan! But you don't even need a cloud to enjoy this video of "Ready, Able":
Oh Veckatimest, you bring my heart to tears. Oh Veckatimest, you will surely move me, for years. Oh Veckatimest, you truly made my eyes leak, Oh Veckatimest, you bring us another Vid of the Week. A lame attempt at poetry, for a not-so-lame music video. "Ready, Able" from Veckatimest finally has an official music video and lord is it tasty. Mmmm.. it gives me wiiiillldd feelings! Check it out to the right or by clicking here .

I just watched this music video for Grizzly Bear's "Ready, Able", and it felt very conceptual. Like a genuine video artist bro made it. I wonder if Grizzly Bear videos could be considered more/less conceptual than AnCo's videos. Both seem to have visual brands of being 'pretty out there.' Just see a lot of melting and stuff. Might be a metaphor. Wondering what the future of music videos will be in 2k10. Do people 'really care' about watching a lil video on a tiny portion of their computer screen? Will indie [...]

Con su mundo crecientemente expuesto al balcón público de los medios en su trasvase hacia audiencias cada vez más amplias, Grizzly Bear parecen haber encontrado en el medio videográfico un reducto para la materialización de su imaginario más oblicuo, fruto de unas mentes bastante más torcidas...
Los chicos de Grizzly Bear están lanzando un nuevo video de la canción "Ready, Able" de la cual ya les había mostrado anteriormente una versión especial en vivo. En el video del sencillo se pueden ver animaciones en plastilina con figuras realmente alucinantes, creo que va mucho a la onda de Grizzly Bear sin duda alguna, si son fans o no, es un video que tienen que ver, igual y les termina gustando la música de estos chicos.
