Last week’s gig just confirmed what I already knew, that Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest is my album of the year beating out even AnCo’s early hype for Merriweather Post Pavilion. Here’s a new video for ‘Ready Able’ by Allison Schulnik featuring melting clay animation things. I can just see GB do their victory lap now with that bit of news.
Bonus and hugely impressive ‘Two Weeks’ fan video below.

Great video,holy shit.So AnCo have been pipped to your number one spot? It’ll be an interesting top twenty for us all this year,methinks,but the top 2 for practically everyone will be Grizzle Bizzle and AnCo. Bitte Orca is going to be right up there for the UBER-hipsters out there too though! (cue/outrage/anger/acceptance/resignation/joy/beers)
