With her video, “Single Ladies: Put A Ring On It” attracting over 45,000,000 views on YouTube, it’s no reason why Beyonce Knowles is securing her spot as the number one “Diva” on the music charts. I tried to ask myself why the video was so important, so I watched …

Merriweather Post Pavilion is an album released by Animal Collective in 2009.
