The word of Noah Lennox’s (AKA Panda Bear from Animal Collective) new album is on the horizon. His last album, Person Pitch scored very high marks across the board including my board (haha, does that make sense?). This album, “Tomboy” (BTW, the albums name just came out, if that is big news).
Apparently it is due out in September, but that is okay. There is going to be plenty of great stuff coming out along the way until then. Awesome.
Yeasayer’s highly anticipated new album, Odd Blood, is coming out on 2/9. I bet a lot of you knew that already. I just wanted to put it out there that I am really excited. The song “Ambling Alp” has been one of my constant-listen-to’s for awhile now. If you do not have Ambling Alp, you can get it here!
I could post the video as well, but it’s kinda NSFW. So I won’t. You could probably just search it. If that is your thing.
ALSO! Yeasayer’s web site has a bunch of good deals(Well, at least I think so) with Odd Blood. You can find those GOOD DEALS here!
You can also get another free single, “O.N.E.” by entering you email address. It’s good as well. In my opinion, not as good as Ambling Alp, but still very good. Well, that’s all for me! See ya!
The Animal Collective film coming up, ODDSAC, is well, strange. And all I’ve seen is the trailer. Here it is.
As you can see, it looks like a giant trip in movie form. I of course don’t know what a “drug trip” is like, but I’d imagine that it would look something like this. The screenings are as follows:
The Sundance lineup:
01/26 – Prospector Square Theatre (Park City) 8:30pm
01/28 – Holiday Village Cinema I (Park City) 10:30pm
01/29 – Holiday Village Cinema II (Park City) 9:30pm
01/30 – Broadway Centre Cinemas VI (SLC) 6:00pm
The screenings:
03/02 – Visual Arts Theatre (New York, NY) – 6:30PM and 8:30PM
With special guests director Danny Perez and members of Animal Collective.
03/17 – Music Box Theatre (Chicago, IL) – 7PM and 9PM
With special guests director Danny Perez and members of Animal Collective.

That is all. Which is a lot, I know. More to come later.
I am an avid fan of Conan O’Brien. I think that he is a very funny and witty comedian and a great interviewer. I have been watching the show for about 3 years now, and pretty much every episode has left me in stitches. Now everyone has probably heard of the whole beef with him, NBC, and Leno. Well, it’s been confirmed that this friday will be Conan’s last show. This makes me sad. Well, I’d thought I would try and scrape up some great clips from his run on NBC. I’ll be updating this post with more videos as time goes on. I hope everything works out for Conan and his crew in the future.
^^When Conan went to FAO Schwartz in NY^^
::UPDATE:: Conan’s last show was this evening, and it was a bittersweet moment indeed. Mostly bitter, cause it’s the end of Conan on NBC, but sweet cause of how funny it is. He had a great montage of the great times in his short 7 months on the Tonight Show, followed by a surprise appearance by Steve Carrell. Then a great interview with Tom Hanks, and a performance by Neil Young. Then finally, Conan jammed out with Will Ferrell, one of the guitarists from ZZ Top, the Max Weinberg Band, some guy playing a slide guitar, Beck, Will Ferrell’s wife, and some other people(?) to Free Bird. It was fantastic indeed. He will be so missed so much by a multitude of people. You better find a new gig soon, bud. I don’t think the world can last long without you.

The well known music festival, Coachella is coming up, and the lineup list has been published. The artists that are attending these 3 days of music just blows my mind. Check it out.
Yeah. AWESOME! Here is the thing for me (and probably all the people reading this), though. It is in California, in April. I cannot just skip school in April and go to California for about 5 days (if you account travel, and all that). I don’t have the resources to go there either. Unless I get a ride with someone else who wants to go. Oh well, final comment is that I cannot go, and I am sad. BUT, some great pictures and stories are going to come of it, so I’ll just read those.

That is all.
Okay, so that’s what I’m calling my new music posts. Posts about music that is coming out RIGHT NAO!!! Yeah, I’ll have other things on older music that I want to share.
So here is the main deal. I found a new album out called Heartland by Owen Pallett. So far, it’s pretty dang awesome. I only have two tracks, “Lewis Takes Off His Shirt” and “Flare Gun”. It’s like a big symphony, but with electronic beats and stuff. His vocals are really nice as well. I will soon get the whole thing and review it. Is that cool? Yeah. Alright.
Okay, I know this is a bit late, but I just made this blog yesterday. So, I thought I would share this here.
