• Panda Bear, No Age and the Sads Playing Free Show at Karu & Y Friday UPDATE

  Can't tell you how many times we've been specifically asked about hearsay that Animal Collective's Panda Bear was playing in Miami during Basel. Well we can fully confirm that the experimental musician, along with No Age and the Sads, will be playing a free show at Karu & Y Friday night. You have Nike, NADA Art Fair, and ANP Quarterly to thank (or not) for the show. All you have to do is RSVP to RSVP_artbasel@nike.com.Art Damage with Panda Bear, No Age, the Sads and DJ Semen, Friday, Decembe

The Review: The rumors of a No Age/Panda Bear double bill during Basel begin about three weeks ago when opening band The Sads posted the event to their MySpace with few details.

• All Signs Point to a Jeb Bush Senate Run

  The holiday break brought us so many cheerful tidings: The Dolphins are heading the playoffs, gas prices are at a four year low, we get an iPhone, and the new Animal Collective leaked. So of course there has to be some sort of proverbial coal in the stocking: Jeb Bush seems poised to run for Senate in 2010, according to Politico. "Sources say Bush hasn't made up his mind about running for Martinez' seat, but that he's getting green lights from would-be contributors and blessings from Republ

• Animal Collective Announce South Florida Date, June 9 at Culture Room

  If, thanks to a debacle over RSVPs, you missed the Panda Bear solo show during this past Art Basel Miami Beach, cheer up. The entire Animal Collective trifecta has just announced a large-scale national tour in support of the group's latest album, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Despite the band's large-scale popularity everywhere else, and its fans' sheer rabidness, the group will still play the relatively small Culture Room. Well, better experience for those who can scoop up tickets. There's no wor

• Random Album Review: Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion

  Animal CollectiveMerriweather Post Pavilion(Domino)On Strawberry Jam in 2007, experimental noise-making weirdos Animal Collective glided on the outskirts of dreamy indie-pop. Fan fave "Peacebone" even flirted with a sunny melody that exposed a heart beneath all the usual digital flotsam. The band's ninth album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, is still frolicking in the clouds, skimming the surface of Beach Boys-style harmonies and contemporary psychedelia. But it's also a total mindfuck, a record s

  Carles, is that you?When we heard that the "blog worth blogging about" Hipster Runoff was hosting a party during Winter Music Conference, we admittedly thought WTF. Not because it's a bad thing, but because this means we might be able to meet the man (or woman, we aren't sure) behind the site. He goes by the name Carles (or CRLS, because vowels aren't alt), but we don't know much more about him except for what our sister paper, the Village Voice, was about to get out of him when it interviewed h

  After the news that Jimmy Buffet had partnered with the Miami Dolphins to rename Dolphin Stadium as "LandShark" Stadium, a number of other notable musician with cult-like followings looked up and said, "Wait, you can do that?
