Back in the 90’s when I was first starting to make 4-track tapes I had a game where I would make a fake version of an album I was anticipating. If Pavement’s Brighten the Corners were coming out soon, I had to wait till release day to hear it. I would record a set of songs that I would want the Pavement album to sound like. Some of those songs ended up becoming Atlas Sound and Deerhunter songs years later.

Bradford Cox on what to do instead of leaking hotly anticipated albums. Also, apparently some creeps hacked into Geologist from the Animal Collective’s email, and sent out a plea for fans to find and leak their entire new album. I really feel bad for Animal Collective; they seem to have the absolute worst fanbase in all of indie music.
