Official News: Polar Bears Are The New Panda Bears


It's official. We all saw it coming after the post-Noah Lennox Panda Bear bubble created in 2007. Was the whole world REALLY that excited about Strawberry Jam? Did you predict that Panda Bears were on their way out? I hope you didn't buy stock in any form of Brown Bears.

Polar Bears just work better than Panda Bears in 2k8.5 and beyond. I think every one is just tired of AZNs (Panda Bears are AZNs), and they want a creature from a more alt-part of the globe. Polar Bears are pretty alt because they live alone in the Arctic Circle.

Remember PERSON PITCH? I can't even remember who I was when I thought was the top album of 2kForeverAgo.

Sorry Panda Bears... you all guys's time is up. Kind of like Sugar Ray said: "We all have our 14 minutes and 59 seconds of fame every morning when we wake up there's a halo hanging from the corner of my I just want to fly."


XX BONUS INSIDER COOLHUNTING HINT XX

Invest in SUN BEARS. No1 knows about them, but they are going to be HUGE in 2k9. They are kind of like the 'interesting looking model who isn't attractive but keeps u attention bc of how weird they look' of bears.

LEAVE PANDA BEAR SONGS ALONE!

I'm sure we've all stumbled upon Chris Crocker's vlogged about mental breakdown about leaving Britney Spears alone.

If I could tell every one to leave something alone, it would be the tracks off Panda Bear's Person Pitch.
I know there's a desire to remix what is hot, or blogged about, or what people will give a listen to, but I'm not really digging what I've heard. It's borderline offensive.

There's a Mr Devlin Jamaican Plain HUMPBACKS remix where a bunch of whale noises are added, plus some mediocre bears. There's also a a Mashup of Black Rob's song 'LIKE WHOA' with Bros.
Personally, I'd just feel a lot more comfortable hearing what type of remix Avey Tare, or Ariel Pink, or Rusty Santos or some one like that would do.

'Hey it's me, Noah Lennox. I'm a pretty chill dude.'

Anyways, we just want to be on the record of not ENDORSING Panda Bear Remixes. I'm sure he doesn't care/could justify how it ultimately is a good thing that there is a BlackRob Mashup out there, but it's important to blog about ISSUES that are relevant to the AnCo Community.

These songs are intended for you to listen to for 20 seconds while scowling, then talking about them with your friends whenever you discuss PERSON PITCH vs. Strawberry Jam.

Fleet Foxes collab with Ed Droste and Noah Lennox to release some new MP3s


[MP3]
Robin Pecknold I'm Losing Myself Ft Ed Droste and Noah Lennox

The guy from the Fleet Foxes has a new album coming out, but I'm not sure if the Fleet Foxes is 'just him' or an entire band that is jealous of his talent + success. Anyways, it seems like he 'went solo' but then decided to 'collab'/'start a super group' with Edward Droste of Grizzly Bear AND he even got Ed Droste to 'put aside his bad blood' from the relevancy wars of 2k9 to collab with 'Noah', who we can all assume is Noah Lennox.

Gotta love a Fleet Foxes + Grizz Bear + Panda Bear jam... U never thought foxes and bears could play 2gether, but it seems like maybe we were wrong. Sort of like how in the NBA, LeBron James chose to start a super team with Dwayne Wade, we are starting to see indie celebs + super groups form to 'win the internet' and achieve the long term goal of winning an Arcade Fire style Grammy.

Do yall <3 this song, or is it boring folk?
Does it remind u of going to camp and then some Christian bro sings a song on guitar and all of the girls at camp want to give him a handy?
Should Ed Droste have demanded 'more mic time' so we could hear him 'over sing' just to prove that he has the best voice in indie, sorta like Xtina Aguilera?
What did Panda Bear contribute 2 this song?
Does Noah seem hella chill?
Is this the perfect indie MP3?
Is it time for the Fleet Foxes 2 add more bleepy bloops to their MP3s?

EXCLUSIVE FAMILY PHOTOS: Noah Lennox aka Panda Bear on an outing with his wife and 2 kids


It's so weird how indie music is going mainstream, and every blog is starting to cover indie celebs like they are mainstream celebs, doing our best to photograph them, even when it seems like they deserve a bit more privacy. But I guess if you're getting paid with that much buzzbucks, you sorta have to understand that it 'comes with the territory.' In these EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS, we see Noah Lennox (stage name: Panda Bear) sharing intimate moments with his wife Fernanda Pereira, his daughter Nadja Lennox, and their son (commonly reffered to as Panda Bear Jr.). While some might say these photos 'crossed the line', we also see a tender side to the AnCo-frontman that might make u want to build 4 walls and adobe slabs ever more than ever now.

Reading Panda Bear Jr. a bed time story.

Intimate moment between Noah Lennox, his wife, Fernanda Pereira, and their daughter Nadja.

Panda Bear Jr. 'acts up' and is put in 'time out.'

Fernanda Pereira tries to get Panda Bear Jr. ready for school.

Panda departs from Portugal to go on tour.

Do Noah and Fernanda seem happy?
Do their kids look happy + healthy?
Is it sad when Panda has to go on tour?
Will these tender moments help us to 'understand' and 'appreciate' TOMBOY /help him to gain 0.5+ bonus p4k points?
Do you think Panda Bear's spawn will become the next generation of relevant buzz humans in 10-20 years?
Will Panda Bear's kids be more creative than Bjork's kids?
Will Panda Bear's kids become more relevant than Sofia Coppola + Thomas Mars' children?
Who will be the more relevant spawn created by 2 relevant present-day humans?

Panda Bear Jr.

The son of Panda Bear. Some insiders predict that he will be the next relevant buzzband in 2k22.

Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear) shows up to the NME Awards, looks keut and alt


Popular Animal Collective front man Panda Bear recently attended the NME Awards rocking a cool yellow sweater, a nice jacket, and healthy curl on his hair. He was recently spotted bronoodling with MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden [link], but as TOMBOY's album cycle approaches, I'm sure we'll be seeing more of this smoking hot indie heart throb.

Noah needs 2 get used 2 the red carpet bc next year, maybe will be Animal Collective winning the 'Best Album Ever' Grammy instead of indie pioneers The Arcade Fire.

Does Noah look totally hunky?
R u jealous of his wife?
Do u think Avey Tare gets jealous of his good looks?
With a face like that, how will critics ever pan TOMBOY?
R u getting anxious abt TOMBOY being released in 2k11... or are you betting on a 2k15 release?

Andrew VanWyngarden and Panda Bear spotted in attendance at fashion show

andrew vanwyngarden sean lennon
It is/was New York Fashion Week, so a bunch of alternative celebrities are showing up at lil fashion shows. Pictured above is MGMT's Andrew VanWynGarden. He is chilling with Sean Lennon, the spawn of John Lennon. I wonder if they are talking abt issues like 'Congratulations', 'growing up in the spotlight of ur transcendent father', and the state of the modern indiesphere.

Probs just kinda blazed. Just thinkin abt cats on surfboards and chill stuff like that.

Here is some kreepy photo of Panda Bear from behind that the blogger/journalist took. He seems to really be enjoying fashion [via Comfy in Nautica].

Do u care abt irrelevant former alt-celebs? Here's the Smashing Pumpkinses James Iha being AZN and thinking abt how much he h8s Billy Corgan.

Do u <3 Fashion Show memes?
Is it a 'good career move' 4 alt celebs to go to fashion shows so they look like they 'care' abt 'the arts'?
Is Panda Bear going 2 become a relevant fashion icon, or is he just chillin comfy in Nautica while he was at the jetty last nite?
When will Andy VanBrogardyn ever cheer up? :-(
What is on that bro's mind...?

BREAKING NEWS: Panda Bear and his wife have second child, new born son arrives in world


Noah Lennox is better known as Panda Bear, the co-lead singer of Animal Collective... Well... It looks like he might just have a new human in his collective of family animal humans, because his wife Fernanda just gave birth to a new born baby boy.

Congrats Noah! The Alt Report wishes you and your family health and happiness.
We hope that these new positive vibes inspire a really sweet creative wave for you, and that maybe you can make some mp3s for us to chill on.

The baby was turned into a meme by his management company [via twitter] perhaps trying to get a little bit of 'press' for the upcoming release of TOMBOY.

We can only hope that TOMBOY is a critical success so that he comes into a happy household. Sorta wonder if this means that TOMBOY is gonna be a 'letdown' but the new baby is a 'distraction' to keep music critics from panning it. That scenario would be more likely if he had adopted a black child from Africa.

Congrats 2 Noah,
u've been a chill bro for a while
and I just need u to keep singing about fatherhood
so that when I have a child
I am ready to hit the ground running
just provide tips on which ergonomic strollers work well.
and maybe some good organic baby food brands

R u happy for Noah?
Will Noah have to work hard for Adobe slabs 4 his girls + new lil bro?
Will "My Girls" have new lyrics to fit in Panda Bear's new song?
Does this mean Panda Bear is gonna 'go on hiatus' from extensive touring, or does he have to
Is Panda Bear a 'cool dad' or a 'chill dad'?
Is there gonna be a lot of pressure on Panda Bear Jr to 'follow in his father's footsteps'?
Will Noah train him to be the next great relevant musician, sorta like Tiger Woods' dad?
Are you more into Pandy or Pandy Jr?
Do u think his management company LegUp should have tweeted this news, or do u think Noah wanted to keep it 'low key', not turning it into daily blog fodder?

So many hopes for Panda Bear Jr.

Panda Bear Jr.
U r the chosen 1
Listen 2 ur father
he is wise
and knows the ways of the buzzosphere

1 day u will fulfill
the prophecy
The Panda Bear Jr Prophecy
1 day
U will get an 11 on Pitchfork
conquering ur father's unbeatable 10.5
on his 'Person Pitch' reissue

U r the chosen bro
Pandy Jr.

Please use the ALT REPORT TIP LINE to submit Panda Bear Jr News and Pix.

Should the ALT REPORT pay top $$$ for exclusive Baby Photos?
Can we assume that the name of his son is 'TOM' because his new album is named TOMBOY?
What r u gonna do to celebrate the birth of 'the chosen 1'?

Photograph of Animal Collective 'Before They Were Famous / Relevant' Emerges.


This photo of AnCo, also known as the popular band Animal Collective has emerged on the internet. The photograph features Avey Tare (Dave Portner), some random bro, Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), and Deakin / Deacon (Josh Dibb). We can see that they used to be 'just like you' when you were going through your formative alternative stage, wearing what seem to be low cost and/or thrift store tshirts.

It is interesting to note that Avey Tare has stayed loyal to his bucket hat, even though he is more rich and famous, and probably could wear more expensive hats.

What do you think about their brand now & then? Have they transformed into relevant alternative celebrities, or do they look like the same ppl they used to be?

10 years ago, would u guess that 3 of these humans would become some of the most important trendsetters in the history of post-indie rock?
Do the 'weirdest' ppl in high school end up becoming the most successful?
