It still seems plausible to describe/pan the DirProjjies as ‘a Jack Johnson-sounding bro with broads wailing in the background.’

i feel like grizzly bear have sort of lost their spot on the hipster demographic, at this point they're coming dangerously close to dadrocking it.

I know I am going to offend but I can't stand XX or whatever it's called. No soul. I am never reading mainstream music press again until they stop being such dorks. You can find stuff that is 10,000 times better in indie electronica.

For there the babe is born in joyThat was begotten in dire woe,Just as we reap in joy the fruitWhich we in bitter tears did sow;
And if the babe is born a boyHe’s given to a woman old,Who nails him down upon a rock,Catches his shrieks in cups of gold.
She binds iron thorns around his head,And pierces both his hands and feet,And cuts his heart out of his sideTo make it feel both cold & heat.
Her fingers number every nerveJust as a miser counts his gold;She lives upon his shrieks and cries—And she grows young as he grows old,

Till he becomes a bleeding youthAnd she becomes a virgin bright;Then he rends up his manaclesAnd pins her down for his delight.
He plants himself in all her nervesJust as a husbandman his mould,And she bcomes his dwelling-placeAnd garden, frutiful seventyfold.
An aged shadow soon he fades,Wandering round and earthly cot,Full filled all with gems and goldWhich he by industry had got.

The Bear in Heaven album is the only album I have found remotely interesting. It has some really cool rhythms and textures happening, and the album never stagnates from a mixing standpoint.
Animal Collective have become too formulaic to be interesting, XX is intolerable, and it is beyond me why people think the Girls album is worth any attention.

i didn't even tweet review Bear In Heaven!
Way way before CMJ fallout and glowing Pfork review I interviewed 'em for the Village Voice. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/archives/2009/09/yes_in_my_backy_17.php
I got their CD and I liked it and I thought "Oh this is pretty good, I'd like to give them some attention." But at no point did I think "Man, people are gonna flip the fuck out over this."

Oh, didn't know there was a Bear in Heaven record! I really liked them live the couple times that I saw them, and I liked Red Bloom of Boom, and then I kind of lost track of them. I had thought they were kind of slept on, so it's good to see them getting Pitchfork love.
