Penelope wants to listen to records? Her dirtiest-yet trick … [Curiosities #36]
Lee Hazlewood / Nancy Sinatra – “Some Velvet Morning”
I realized the other day that I’ve written scant little about being a dad and all that. I guess I always figured those blogs are boring as SHIT. I don’t read any of those blogs, is what I mean, and so I wouldn’t expect that anyone else [...]

Panda Bear lets us get our paws on a few new tunes [Daily MP3 #17]
Two new songs:
PLUS download ENTIRE CONCERT SET by PANDA BEAR RIGHT THE-FUCK HERRRRRE …
I’m not much of a “post random videos all day” or “provide secondhand news for people who still don’t know what Pitchfork is” guy, but I make an exception for Animal Collective and its members, Panda Bear, Avey Tare, [...]

“Stealing Christmas” by Eric Alexandrakis [Daily MP3 #15 / X-mas Audio #2]
Eric Alexandrakis is one of my favorite music-journalist stories.
I reviewed his I.V. Catatonia, an album about the rigors of chemotherapy, waaaaay back in 2002, when I was still a journalism student at WSU and harbored dreams of someday working for Spin (at this point I was also much more innocent; it [...]

Animal Collective – Fall Be Kind EP – Domino Records [Album Review]
After getting all newsy on the early buzz going around, it seemed like Fall Be Kind was a LONG-ASS time coming, which is great because it delivered.
Read my Tiny Mix Tapes review HERE. Whatcha think?

Animal Collective – “Graze” [Daily MP3 #10]
Did I mention I’m going to be reviewing the new Animal Collective EP, Fall Be Kind, for Tiny Mix Tapes? It’ll be my first AC review for any mag, any site … if you’ve known me over the years you know full-well how crazy this is, as A. Collective are likely [...]

Animal Collective – “In the Flowers” music video [Curiosities #23]
Look, I know it’s late (early?) but sometimes the good shit just can’t wait. This new Animal Collective — you know, Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin, Geologist — video, filmed God-knows-when by God-knows-whom, just blows my fucking mind.
It’s like every lysergic puppet show I’ve watched combined with every long road trip I’ve [...]

“Imaginary Friends” by The Fresh & Onlys, from s/t debut on Castle Face Records [Daily MP3 #7]
If I were to pinpoint one band that has kept me going on this Blog tear I’ve been on this summer and now fall – besides Thee Oh Sees, Animal Collective, Vampire Weekend, Tonstarttsbandht and The Unit Breed, of course — it would be The Fresh & Onlys. Their ability to pen catchy, high quality jams in [...]

Animal Collective’s 2009-10 release schedule revealed [News You Can Use #4]
FINALLY-FINALLY-FINALLY WE HAVE CLOSURE: Animal Collective’s crazy-ass way of announcing new albums is at the very least the most original I’ve seen in the digital era. I mean, they didn’t really tell anyone; some kid noticed Fall Be Kind on Amazon for preorder and told Pitchfork … not really a high-profile deal.
Now, AC’s Avey Tare [...]

Jesus Christ: Animal Collective "Brothersport" single dropping Dec. 8 (for sure) [News You Can Use #3]
Well shit, maybe THIS was what they meant all along: On Dec. 8, a new Animal Collective record will be released, yes indeed.
But it will be a single: “Brother Sport,” to be precise (as always, listen to it over there —->) presented in 10-inch LP and CD form with live b-side “Bleeding.”
If you’ve listened to [...]

New Animal Collective album, "Fall Be Kind," dropping Dec. 8??? [News You Can Use #2]
This is effing nutso (and I’m supposed to be getting ready for a job interview! Damn indie news of the day … ). Animal Collective have already released one of the — if not The — most highly lauded albums of the year in Merriweather Post-Pavillion and toured the world with Black Dice.
They’re also talking about [...]

Animal Collective’s "Campfire Songs" to see reissue [News You Can Use #1]
This is great news if you follow Animal Collective (and if you don’t it’s a little late): Campfire Songs, their one-off album recorded at a house somewhere in Maryland, out amongst the thicket, will see reissue sometime next year on AC’s label Paw Tracks.
Will it be vinyl? CD? MP3? Fucking cassette? No one seems to [...]

Sylvester Anfang II – "Satan likt mijn hielen" [Curiosities #1]
SYLVESTER ANFANG II ‘Satan likt mijn hielen ‘
I hate posting videos. I hate it when bloggers post a video, write a short paragraph, and act like they’ve contributed something to readers that can’t be found on YouTube with a single click. (I’m not trying to playa-hate but if you post a video you’d [...]

Blank Dogs, Modest Mouse and Black Dice [Album As Art #9 / Lucky 7-inch revue]
Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of swag, three seven inches to buy instead of (along with?) a bag:
Blank Dogs – “Waiting”
Is the Blank Dogs singer plugging his nose the way the guy from Wavves does? Was this song actually written in the early ’80s? Did it originally come out on Factory Records?
Is Blank Dogs capable of [...]
