It's funny, it seems that a lot of good artist ( in music or cinema) droped out of college

Pitchfork's cover stories are always really amazing and insightful. That one was great. I really dig Sherburne's stuff

Can't wait to hold the Lp in my hand. Can't wait to Listen to the Lp with my Gf. Can't wait the skate with my Reaper shirt on. Can't wait to See Panda singing Selfish Gene.

Is it silly of me to want Pitchfork to give this album a 10 and declare it aoty?

There is nothing more true or natural then wanting to win.....not that it's a competition, or anything

pitchfork has been all over panda... giving him a ton of love with this rollout. Also a few of their writers have praised it on Twitter. one said it would have been the best album of 2014. I'm calling a 9.1 review from them. anyway i love all of these panda interviews, it adds so much to the experience of the album

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 05, 2015 3:44 pm

and the cover story is sooooo dope

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 05, 2015 3:46 pm

great feature. i got excited when i saw that panda likes andy stott. 9.1 seems like a good prediction. i can see realistically any score in the 8.7-9.3 range. i'll predict an 8.9.

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 05, 2015 3:58 pm

cover story automatically equals it's ok and over 9.0 score.

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 05, 2015 4:04 pm

Yeah, I don't think anyone will be surprised when this album gets it's ok. That's pretty much a given for a PB solo release. I just want it to pull a Merriweather and become the zeitgest, probably due to a misguided desire to be able to claim that I listened to this album before it blew up

Panda Bear aka Noah Lennox, front man and founding member of Indie Rock royalty Animal Collective, premieres his forthcoming new LP, Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper (Domino) in a one-off concert event presented and broadcast live by Boiler Room.

Featuring new material alongside heralded classics from Person Pitch, 2007, and Tomboy, 2011, Panda Bear is accompanied by a unique reproduction of visual art collaborator Danny Perez's tour video display.

An international cultural platform, Boiler Room has transitioned from underground streaming service to global online music portal. This event marks their debut broadcast from within MoMA PS1’s iconic geodesic dome as part of Sunday Sessions.

The full broadcast is available to stream online for those unable to attend.

Hopefully it's recorded and uploaded quickly because I'm traveling that whole day. Boiler Room is sometimes really slow putting up older broadcasts

YES

Interesting that the press release specifically states that he'll be performing some material from PP and Tomboy. I wonder if that's true or just something they put in every concert announcement

I love how PB literally wades into the ocean in that P4k feature. Take a risk just for yourself...

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 05, 2015 7:08 pm

I am glad there's so much media attention for Panda Bear these days. Like that's what he always deserved.

I always first download Tropic of Cancer to check if this version of the freebird has that glitch. So far it's still there.

hehe, well, I wouldn't be so radical. but all this new info definitely will help me to accept some traits of my personality more.
just had a date. and sometimes I thought - ok, just be yourself, that's okay

(with a little help from Noah)

Panda needs to stay a little more still next time.

Can someone tell me what this means?

"The lyrics to “Mr Noah” are quintessentially Panda Bear—cryptic, densely imagistic, ambiguously druggy, simultaneously self-deprecatory and ecstatic. But the most interesting thing about the song’s presentation, at least on a lyric sheet, might be the words “wolf,” “bear,” and “eagle” that scroll vertically to the left of each stanza, a kind of quasi-acrostic."

I've already known all the words to this track for a while, but I relooked at the lyric sheet incase I missed something and I have no idea what he's talking about. Any ideas?
