that video did suck.

Alex's Trip 01.21.2009 08:08 PM

Yeah, whats with the crappy AC videos lately. I liked Peacebone. But Water Curses video was a snore, and this is just dumb.

Good song though.

and while on the topic of videos: I love the newest Parenthetical Girls video though.

I love
Bobby Beausoleil.

what's up with them charging over 30 bucks for shows? sonic youth doesn't even do that. i understand they are playing at bigger venues now, but over 30 bucks just for one band (and some shitty openers i'm sure). give me a break!

aside from sonic youth and minor threat (via time machine that would take me back to 1982), i would never pay that much for a show that wasn't a fest.

i had a problem paying ten bucks last night for vivian girls, fucked up and pissed jeans and i really like those bands (well i really only like pissed jeans live, they are okay on record).

atsonicpark 01.21.2009 09:05 PM

Because animal collective are more popular than sonic youth perhaps?... Or, they're at least on their way to being more popular. Which is sad and ridiculous but true.

$30 for any band is fucking robbery. I'm trying to think.... I'd pay $30 for a Captain Beefheart reunion tour and maybe, via time machine, a Thinking Fellers Union Local # 282/Sun City Girls/Caroliner show... and perhaps 99 Boadrum. That's about it.

$30? That's strange
I would definitely pay $30 to see them, but that's strange. Tickets for the gig in Lille, in two months, are only 10€, which is $13 :confused:

i was eating dinner at my work last night and i heard a co-worker talking about how she's going to get animal collective tickets and they'll be around 30-40 bucks. they played here the other day and i think it was around 20 bucks.

Has nayone mentioned they're shit yet?

acousticrock87 01.22.2009 04:02 AM

Yes, but he was subjectively wrong.

Also, he got bored of antagonizing.

davenotdead 01.22.2009 07:52 PM

you guys are so naive, honestly. i sold my chicago ticket for $90.

people were scalping these for $100+. MPP is #2 on US itunes right now. AC/MPP just got referenced in a fucking fantasy basketball blog. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/BDL-NBA-Power-Rankings-Do-you-believe-in-Magic-;_ylt=AtoZq4_U3li.ch_rUHXTJka8vLYF?urn=nba,135466
(scroll down to chicago bulls at #20)

they make really great music. i am happy they are getting the chance to make a good living off of it now

atsonicpark 01.22.2009 09:18 PM

Where does "naive" come in?

acousticrock87 01.22.2009 10:09 PM

It's in the first sentence. Before the comma.

Alex's Trip 01.22.2009 10:17 PM

I got $20 tickets for the Troubadour show this Saturday. I don't recall the service charge shit though.

Everyneurotic 01.22.2009 10:26 PM

this record is kinda meh.

maybe "in denial" or "stuck in the past" works better.

i'm referring to the 5 posts in a row on the other page all saying "$30!?!!/!/?"

as in. yes, and maybe 25-30% of the people who went to these NYC shows paid way more. and this happens for many other bands too.

atsonicpark 01.22.2009 11:22 PM

I don't honestly believe -- and I've never seen them, just youtube clips and listened to their records -- their shows would be good enough to be worth $30. In fact, they seem like the most boring band on earth to see live next to, like, Black Dice or something.

davenotdead 01.22.2009 11:27 PM

they are way better live than most bands (i put sy but changed it, i'm tired of fighting)

atsonicpark 01.22.2009 11:29 PM

All the live clips I've seen have been a bunch of dorks out-of-tune harmonizing and dancing like PCP addicted weirdos and stepping on obvious fx pedals. Just seemed like a really boring party. I'd still probably buy tickets for me and my girlfriend because she beats her clit off to them.

davenotdead 01.22.2009 11:37 PM

well yr gf is smart.

and i dont know what clips yr watching, are they from 09?
