Atlas Sound's Bradford Cox Struggles With Sony

Imagine Deerhunter and Atlas Sound's Bradford Cox's surprise when he found three of of the four Bedroom Databank volumes, released last week, deleted by Sony Music for "unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted sound recordings," even though Atlas Sound and Deerhunter are on entirely different, non-Sony Music labels. Cox is fighting back, blogging and reposting the files. UPDATE: Sony has apologized to Cox.

Fanfarlo's Amos Memon on Father Christmas And Other Festive Thoughts

As The Alternate Side counts down the days to Christmas, we continue on our tireless (overly earnest) quest of asking (nudging) some of our favorite bands for their Yuletide and year-end impressions (and drunken reveries). Next up is Amos Memon, drummer and vocalist for London's orchestral popsters Fanfarlo, who muses upon Father Christmas, Deerhunter's Bradford Cox and dreams of America.
