As I mentioned last week, Gorilla vs, Bear posted some videos and MP3s from Grizzly Bear’s acoustic in-store appearance at Good Records in Dallas, TX. Listening to the pared down versions has, again, made me re-visit 2006’s Yellow House which, while one of my favorite LPs of the year, would rank even higher in my list if I was to re-figure now.
Go visit GvB’s page via the below links for the goods. Below: check out the band’s re-interpretation of Yes’s “Owner of a Lonely Heart” and the acoustic version of “Knife” from their Dallas in-store.

i’m telling you, the KEXP “pared down” versions of GB’s tracks are better than that instore. I know the blog “smudge of ashen fluff” has a lot of them.
ps. I didn’t see yellow house make your year end list
am I crazy?

Those shows are already legendary around Dallas – the quieter instore and then an apparently louder and rowdier electric show later that night. So mad that I missed them both…
ahhh it was a “best of the rest” not in the top 10
I see it now, easy to glance over
yeah, good point. i should have noted that.
i was also just now thinking it would be fun to do a “let’s revisit the top album of ’06” post , as the top 12 would be considerably different. four more months spent with the albums makes a big difference.
Great band, really nice guys.
