New Grizzly Bear - "On A Neck, On A Spit"

Grizzly Bear's 'Fix It'I've listened to this track a few times now, and all I can say to introduce it is, "How great is the new Grizzly Bear album going to be?" Tentatively titled Yellow House, if it's anything like this live track, it'll add a fuller "band" sound without losing the dreamy quality of Horn of Plenty GB. This one builds up really slowly to an amazing head-bopping groove.

Also, check out Japhy Grant's video for "Fix It." If you can't get video right now, download this live version of "Fix It" from the same show as "On A Neck, On A Spit":

if these boys arent careful, someone is going to make a Grizzly Bearskin rug, just so they can roll around in all the fuzzy awesomeness.

i love them...the record is really good, but live is where it's at with these guys. they are so fucking mesmerizing live...ask them to a laserium show like they did in seattle...mindblowing.

If you like the Bear, and if you like videos, also see this lovely one by seaport mystic Tyler Coburn, for the song called "deep sea diver":

The animated "Deep Sea Diver" thing is cool, but tiny (the figures). It's a lot more arty than the "Fix It" video, which I really like! It's cool to see that Grizzly Bear (or at least their director) has a sense of humor. Also, the boy in the video is superhot.

their live show is what makes them i think. as evidence of the version of fix it. personally i think its a lot better than the album track. althoo i like the album too, but if this is what the new album will sound like i think 2006 will be a good year

Hmmm...does this belong to a collection of live mp3s from that show? If so, does anyone know where to find them? Or rather, is anyone willing to share them?

PLEASE?
