After two incredible albums, “Strawberry Jam” and “Merriweather Post Pavilion“, a lot of touring in between and beyond, and even the full length motion picture ODDSAC released at the beginning of this year, it seems Animal Collective has begun to show signs of growing weary.
“There was just so much touring for us,” Panda Bear (aka [...]
We’re just three months into the new year and already there are talks about the first major plagiarism scandal of the year, following last year’s now infamous feud between Coldplay and Joe Satriani. This time around the protagonists are Gorillaz and 80’s raggae sensation Eddy Grant, the later claiming Damon Albarn blatantly used significant portions [...]
Seems like the whole iamamiwhowherehowthefuckami mystery has been unraveled once and for all, and the artist behind it all is quite the unlikely candidate, considering the whole blogosphere didn’t even mention her during the whole thorough teaser dissection process.

Thom Yorke’s solo project was seen with great enthusiasm by critics and fans alike when the all-star supergroup, composed of Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, R.E.M. drummer Joey Waronker, talented Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Mauro Refosco, and the one and only Flea, played two LA gigs at the end of last year.
