Billboard offers five “easy” steps to stop online music leaks.
Animal Collective's Dave “Avey Tare” Portner talks to Billboard.
Instead of drawing on direct influences, Animal Collective makes albums with a connection to places in mind. “We usually try to connect to outdoor environments, and there was something about this that was harking back to the time where we would be outside, in backyards, listening to music on a boombox,” Portner says. “Because that's how we really grew up and got attached to listening to music together.”

Ryan Adams talks of his prolific recorded output with the Sunday Star-Times.
“Well, I've always put out a lot of records because for me they're just a starting point, then those songs grow over the years as we play live,” he says. “The songs on the records are just the first chapters in a book that's still being written, and you know, a creative person has to do their thing without taking too much notice of critics. If I listened to music critics, I'd be making sad country records all my life, but sometimes this band wants to sound like The Stones or Grateful Dead or Oasis instead, so that's what we do.”
