Enjoy Thanksgiving with 2 Neon Indian Remixes of Grizzly Bear's "Cheerleader"
Hear the NEW Animal Collective track "What Would I Want? Sky" with the 1st ever legally cleared Grateful Dead sample
Really great track off of their new EP Fall Be Kind in stores 12/15/09 Physically & 11/23/09 Digitally. The Grateful Dead sample is "Unbroken Chain".

Animal Collective: What Would I Want? Sky

Well they made me take the MP3 down, but you can WATCH the video for Vampire Weekend's new song Cousins here
Would be willing to bet a large portion of money that this song ends up being used in a Gossip Girl episode down the line. Not that I watch the show, alright I've seen it before, OK.
Vampire Weekend: Cousins. New album Contra out 1/12/10 on XL.
Another track off of Beach House's ridiculously good new album, Teen Dreams
I know its way early (in evaluation, its late in the calendar), but this should be in contention for album of the year. Teen Dream from Beach House is out 1/26/10 on Sub Pop.

Beach House: Walk In The Park.
Wake up to the 1st track "Graze" off of Animal Collective's new EP: Fall Be Kind
Great album opener. This EP will be on repeat till spring. Really enjoy music inspired by the season, and I'm not talking about Christmas songs.
Baltimore's own Beach House has a new track, "Norway". Hear it here
Well I received a DMCA take down notice for posting the NEW Vampire Weekend, "Cousins", so here is the NEW Beach House track, "Norway", that I posted with it.
STILL CLEVELAND! More BlakRoc, this time Black Keys & Mos Def
Per my previous post on BlakRoc, guess I was wrong about the Mos Def track, as its quite good. And yes, I know the Black Keys are from Akron, OH, not Cleveland. That line was just stuck in my head from last night.
Blakroc - "On The Vista"

Also, the full album is out there now.
Black Keys meet Hip-Hop with new colabo album BlakRoc. Hear 'em with Raekwon
Yeah I know thats a picture of Mos Def not Raekwon, but I like the Rae track A LOT better than the Mos one & couldn't find a picture of Dan & Da Chef.
Other guests include: Mos (of course), RZA, Pharoahe Monch, M.O.P., ODB, & Q-Tip. Believe it or not this whole thing was Dame Dash's idea. Album probably isn't gonna reach its potential, but I hope for a handful of solid tracks.
