Grizzly Bear's "While You Wait For The Others" Single Features Michael McDonald
One day after closing out this year's Pool Parties (with Jay-Z and Beyoncé in attendance), Grizzly Bear continue crossing over in every direction with today's release of the "While You Wait" single ... with a b-side where Rossen's vocal is performed by Michael McDonald. Yes, that Michael McDonald. Basically you just gotta hear this, so pony up the $1 and head to iTunes ASAP. (Or be patient and purchase the vinyl directly from the band.) And if you didn't make it to the Williamsburg Waterfront yesterday, here's 45 seconds of what it was like to stand behind Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Solange during "Ready, Able."
Brooklyn, we crossover hard.

If I wasn't at work I'd be crying my eyes out because I love this so much. I would have paid a lot more than 99 cents for this download

Someone on the BrooklynVegan blog posted that they saw Daniel do a ton of coke near the side of the bus before they went on. Seriously, Grizzly Bear, who do you guys think you are?

I think it might be. Dude looked fucked up. Sweating everywhere and constantly talking to Chris/laughing.

For some reason, I kept reading the name "Michael Cera."

lame. this sort of represents the tepid quality of their music and why it doesn't offer anything new to something old, it is just old sounding. for better or worse

Just downloaded it. Awesome. It's pretty hilarious, but honestly rocks at the end when they start chanting back and forth.

Close your eyes and reaquaint yourself with the obvious...it is obvious...

I would not trust some of the stuff people post on Brooklyn Vegan. Some of the most hate-filled people in the world are on there w/ major axes to grind.

I dunno. Daniel was totally out of it. He was sweaty and super giggly, walking over to sit down and then stand up multiple times during a song. I just thought he was drunk but whatever.

We (Big Ass Lens) just posted the video from this song at yesterday's show. If you look at around 2:03, when Dan says "you could hope for substance," he looks back at Chris, smiles, sings a line, then looks back at him again and cracks up. Then for the next 15 secs is trying to contain his laughter. bigasslens.com

People really need to drop the desperate coke comment. Its just beyond ridiculous and makes a fool out of whomever believes it. The band doesn't even party hard, let alone snort blow before shows. Brooklyn Vegan commenters can be a hateful and jealous lot. Don't let that garbage come in here.
If you're a singer, you would also know that Coke is the absolute last thing in the world you would do before a show. It destroys your range and numbs your throat. Hell, Dan and Ed aren't even smokers...let alone coked up. Also, they had a dressing room at the show. Even if you were going to do that, you wouldn't do it side-stage with everyone watching you AT THAT MOMENT.
Drop that trash.
Oh...and Michael Mac collaboration is amazing. His soul is unbelievable. Good day of news for them.
