My blog's namesake

I've been asked a couple of times the meaning of my blog title or where I got it from. I thought I would make a post out of it. Anyway, when I started this blog, last january I was listening quite a bit to a band called Grizzly Bear from Brooklyn. Their newest release, Yellow House came out in 2006. I found out about the album a little late through a best of the year list in a magazine.

I immediately fell in love with this album. The folk and electronic influences were evident. Some describe it as psych folk, a blending of folk and psychedelic rock, originated in the 1960's. Grizzly Bear is put into this category although other genres are evident as well. My favorite song on this album is "central and remote". Other great songs include, "little brother", "knife", "easier", etc. Here is a video for "central and remote".
