Attal and co.'s clever communications. The artists...they're not not like puppets. Never the how, quite fun, they. ¿uest and accompaniment may or may not be a nod to Tanker McKelvy.
There's some intrigue, no doubt, to these sort of breathing caricatures that well brighten things for a moment.
TV on the Radio
Garrison's illuminating interview with John Vanderslice, renowned San Francisco songwriter and producer. While a critically-lauded performer, Vanderslice is also a noted expert on the state of the industry, independent new media marketing and promotion, and the still-fledgling digital age. A prescient piece in light of the recent Apple/EMI DRM liquidation. (David performed body copy/question copy edits + refinements)

"A rave review on Gorilla vs. Bear...is tons better than a similar notice in Spin and/or Rolling Stone"

Best Music Blog
-- Rolling Stone, May 1, 2008
"Blog titans"
-- Austin American-Statesman: Austin 360, July 15, 2008
"At one time you had Creem and Crawdaddy and Rolling Stone; now you have MySpace and Pitchfork and blogs like Gorilla vs. Bear..."

"Gorilla vs. Bear has quietly and quickly become one of the nation's top MP3 blogs..."
-- Dallas Observer, June 2006
"...influential Dallas-based music blog..."
-- Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"...blogs like stereogum.com, brooklynvegan.com, gorillavsbear.net...are doing a fine job of covering all the bases"

"Underground, but not willfully so."
-- Q Magazine, Feb. 2007
"The mighty Gorilla Vs. Bear (still our favorite music blog)..."
-- Pitchforkmedia, Feb. 22, 2007
"When we want to hear exceptional new music—not just anything, but stuff selected by people with respectable eardrums—we go to Gorilla vs. Bear. Their music recommendations have all but supplanted the need to ever walk into a record store again—though not because of the bevy of mp3s. GvsB’s picks are knowledgeable yet friendly; they want you to hear it because they love it. And if another blogger found it first, they’re only too happy to give credit where it’s due. Surly music store clerks beware."

IndieInterviews is the brainchild of Garrison Reid (aka "G"), another great friend whose wide berth of wisdom, talent and expertise are ceaselessly instructional and inspiring. He's as much a teacher as he is a sage and baddical collaborator. The site is currently on holiday. G also plays a significant role on many of D. Bartholow Marketing's print and web projects.
