4500 vinyls, sent out, ten a t a time (if that) to 450 independent record stores throughout the nation, that means in each city there is an average of 10-30 people who own that album. that is cool and all, an I would die of happiness if any music I made was so purchased, but it is really a trickle. |

my point is that AC has been growing by way of fantastic music... hype has been at a fever pitch with last year's live shows, as fans eagerly awaited to hear the live songs be put through the studio process, and like many predicted, they made their best album at the best possible time. they sold as many vinyl of the new album in 1 week, as their last album sold altogether. and most kids don't have record players. |

Cool. Everyone else who's replying finds it interesting, though, and that's why they're replying. Sorry the current discussion within this 11 page thread isn't interesting to you. We'll get back to discussing the album shortly.

you're gonna be surprised how many sales were directly from the label... are there even 450 independent record stores left? most everyone i know of pre-ordered through the label. |
Rob, this is a bit unrelated, but I'm curious if you think Mindless Self Indulgence are a "popular" band. I have a point to make here, but I'm going to wait.

MTV is impressed when Jay Z can find his tiny cock. fuck them and their attempts at remaining relevant by trying to latch on to the Pitchfork hype surrounding AC. yeah. |
i bet all 4500 was sold in williamsburg.

Well, the vast majority of the population in the world likes shit music. If anything the above reinforces what I knew already. Still, thanks for reminding me once more. |

I agree man, and all praise be to their talents and skillz, but I was just trying to clarify "popular" when used in the context of Animal Collective |
its not only pitchfork... AC are in GQ and National Geographic Adventurer. SY was never in National geographic Adventurer, were they?

so they're on the same websites that usually report jay-z, and the trendiest music site on the whole internet is hyping them that means they're popular |
Quote:
cannot judge for that is the first time I have ever heard that name (if it really IS a band ;) ) |
Quote:
i think they were pretty popular at one time. i'm not sure about now. i think ac is more popular then them at this point. |

Haha, nevermind, Rob didn't really answer so I have no point to make now... Carry on.

u older guys are missing the point. the point is they make good music... and this sales number is some historic shit in the digital age. even if you don't like it, you can't say all of their music is bad... or you can, but then you'll be found out as the pretentious-prick-who-just-likes-to-argue that you are. |

You didn't believe I'd keep the promise, did you? C'mon, they're just some shit band, that's all. |
