Panda Bear @ Governor’s Island, NYC 9/11/10
On Justin's strong recommendation (err...absolute insistence), I headed over to Governor's Island last night to check out Panda Bear.

Animal Collective Sample The Grateful Dead on “Why Would I Want Sky”
I'm home chilling and about to watch some evening news after running some errands -- yes, I'm that cool -- and I've got the new Atlas Sound/Panda Bear collaboration called "Walkabout" cranked about as loud as my upstairs neighbor would ever allow. I dig it. And speaking of Panda Bear,... more

Animal Collective Brings Their “Summertime Clothes” to Letterman
Readers of the blog might start getting sick of my obsession with Animal Collective, but I would immediately argue with those readers and ask them to open their ears a bit more. In fact, I think this band has actually dwarfed Phish for me in terms of pure musical... more
