Animal Collective are releasing their next album, Merriweather Post Pavillion, in January. If you want to download a live version of their track 'Brother Sport', just left click this guy here and do the save target as business.
Check out the cover of the album! Stare at it! STARE AT IT!

The new AU album, 'Verbs' is pretty dope. They have a 30-person choir and some decent handclaps. Can't go wrong there.

What else, what else? I'm quite enjoying this synthy dude, Grusome. He's from Wellington. Don't know if the name is the best, but it's not too bad. Check him out here. Download some of his tunes for free even. The stuff from the new demo EP isn't up yet, but I'm sure it'll make it there eventually.

The new Of Montreal Album, 'Skeletal Lamping', the new Mogwai and the new Deerhunter are floating about and i implore you to get you mitts on em. You could even win the Deerhunter album this week on R1, it's the feature CD.

Last but not least, the competition to find New Zealand's ultimate band to kick off the Big Day Out 2009 through the powers of the almighty bNet syndicate is underway. Visit this guy here to listen to and vote for the bands that are up for the week's heats. The winner of each heat and the bands for the next heat gets announced on Friday Drive with Coucho. If you're in a band and want to enter, click here to download the entry form, fill that bad boy out and bring it up to the radio one receptacon (me) with your heavenly pop hit.

Right, that's it from me, i shall get back to pottering about and guzzling red bulls. Have a great week, everybody!

Hopo.
