Dreaming of a Yellow House

The other night I had a dream about Grizzly Bear. While in reality their album steam was available for preview at many sites, my subconscious dreamt a whole new way to listen before it's release.
Influenced in part by their album cover, in my dream, Grizzly Bear all lived together in a house on Cannon Beach. Just before the release of their album Yellow House (named for their Cannon Beach retreat) they left the house unlocked and set their album up to play 24 hours a day for a full month and people could just walk in and stay there and listen to it and leave on their own accord. The thought behind it was to do something different and also since the house had such an impact on their recording if the album, it would bring listeners more in tune with their objective.
Well me being poor, I ended up staying there the whole month being the only one to do so and slept in the bedroom. Few people came in and the night I had a friend sleep over we got robbed. The burglar took all of my friends' expired film that he was using for a special project and we didn't mention my polaroid film because I couldn't afford for it to be taken.
Later came a call that I had to get all my belongings out of my former house mates basement, so I rode in a washed up refrigerator that I found on the beach all the way to Portland to collect it. After telling her about the ride, she joined me back to Cannon Beach in it, and then I used it to go back to Portland to go to a Scissor Sister's concert.
Only when I got there, each time I took a photo, it erased the last photo I had taken, so I came away with no photos of the show.
How this kinda relates to reality:
When I saw Grizzly Bear support TV on the Radio last week I was surprised by how few people knew them prior to the show. Like I am aware that not everyone in the world knows who they are, but I really expected the TVotR crowd to know them-similar audience, and very few people sang along to 'On a Spit, on a Neck' and after the show people were singing their praises and talking about how they had never heard of them. That kinda plays in with very few people visiting the house in my dream to listen to the album.
My friend in the dream was the guy from Goodbye Lenin, which I had just finished watching that night.
The polaroids because I am doing a polaroid project and I am too poor to replace any film after that.
Then last week I had one of my most horrendous concert going experiences attempting to see Scissor Sisters, and even though I was supposed to be able to take photos, I left with three away from none at all.

Anyway-it took along time, but here is the track:
'On a Neck, On a Spit' Grizzly Bear MP3
Chosen because while I'd LOVE to post 'Plans' this is the only track they've given away for free and I don't quite feel in the mood for redistributing Grizzly Bear's other music for free without consent. Them and Patrick Wolf.
