I know it’s automatically less convenient to buy music online from anywhere other than iTunes (yay anticompetition), but I really think this is an effort worth supporting. Local record shops are getting pushed out of business. Hell, even the Tower Records and Virgin Megastores of the world are struggling. But now the independent mom and [...]

Animal Collective on Letterman

In honor of their upcoming show, Wednesday night at Terminal 5, I’m psyched to post a clip of Animal Collective playing “Summertime Clothes” on Letterman. If those dancers don’t get you psyched for the show, I don’t know what will!
