My last.fm scrobbles about three seconds of a track as a full track. I think it depends on the player. I used to have iTunes and the track wouldn't scrobble until 1/2-3/4 through the song. Now that I have Winamp, it takes much quicker.

So yeah, I guess it's possible some people aren't listening to the full track, though the numbers don't surprise me much given the mass hype this band has on the internet.

Your last.fm SCROBBLING PLAYER scrobbles 3 seconds of a "full" track? The actual last.fm software downloaded from last.fm? No.

Rob Instigator 01.13.2009 12:33 PM

I just think it is fucking AWESOME that people worldwide can access music so readily. it is fucking dope.

atsonicpark 01.13.2009 12:54 PM

welcome to 1996.

...

Just kidding, it's awesome, isn't it.

SuperCreep 01.13.2009 12:57 PM

hrm. My mistake. I thought it did. I am able to scrobble ten second or less tracks easily, though.

atsonicpark 01.13.2009 01:02 PM

How? Last.fm won't let you scrobble a track at all if it's under.. I THINK... 30 seconds.

SuperCreep 01.13.2009 01:10 PM

I'm using this plugin with Winamp 5.5. Works like a charm. :7)

atsonicpark 01.13.2009 01:16 PM

Oh. Wild.

davenotdead 01.13.2009 01:16 PM

thank you, the animal collective loving version of moshe.

davenotdead 01.13.2009 01:34 PM

i'll take that as a compliment

wellcharge 01.13.2009 02:43 PM

i'm the only bulgar that still pays for music, therefore mpp is #1 album in bulgaria

Rob Instigator 01.13.2009 02:55 PM

I sometimes feel like I am also the lone person paying for music on actual solid formats, as opposed to digitzed bits on a magnetic hard drive.

i do both:D

Toilet & Bowels 01.13.2009 05:54 PM

let's not stay off topic; i saw a clip of animal collective on tv and it was horrible, they suck (incase anyone needs reminding).

davenotdead 01.13.2009 05:55 PM

on tv? when/where?

atsonicpark 01.13.2009 08:30 PM

they played the peacebone video on tv.

Toilet & Bowels 01.13.2009 08:39 PM

they were on the news in america, found this link on another board (in reference to the band wavves)

if you didn't think pitchfork is a bag of shit wait until you see the guy who founded it

hadn't seen that yet, thanks.

does anyone know of any other musical artist who has gotten so big in such a small amount of time? (referring to Wavves/Nathan Williams)... I believe he played his first show as Wavves just a few months ago.

since my computer died i only downloaded the us girls "introducing.." record and that's because i have no other way of listening to it until i get a record player (or until my mom sends mine up here). i prefer to buy the cd or record or tape. i actually hate downloading non rare stuff.

uhler 01.14.2009 01:51 AM

yeah i can't believe wavves was on abc news. i wouldn't be surprised if they get no age big very soon.

Toilet & Bowels 01.14.2009 05:40 AM

wavves got signed to fat possum and they're spending a lot of money on PR and shit for them, or so i've heard.

I bought the album last night at their show along with 'Feels'.

So last night, along with the gig ticket, I paid £33.50 to Animal Collective.

Fun show by the way, they didn't play any of the old stuff though, just from the last two albums.

interesting... the previous rumor was sub-pop.


ad derek, according to reports, they played:
slippi (hcti) !!
banshee beat (feels) !!
and a re-worked winter's love (tongs) !!

3 very good older songs. (not from the last 2 albums)

Derek 01.14.2009 06:35 PM

yeah I never remember gigs

acousticrock87 01.21.2009 01:16 AM

I bought it as promised. Go out and do the same, you fucking pirates.

SYRFox 01.21.2009 01:22 AM

I bought it on the 12th (it was out then in Europe), I was at 9.30am (when the store opened) in the fucking discstore to get it . It's fantastic
Btw, has anyone heard the new song ? (I call it Blue Sky, though I'm sure it's not the accurate title) It's so awesome, I'm listening to it all the time

SYRFox 01.21.2009 04:41 PM

I love My Girls' video, it's really fun

I just put this on. I found it so compelling I left the room, made a cup of tea and came back and it was finished. Astonishingly forgettable, kudos to them.

Rob Instigator 01.21.2009 05:38 PM

is it just me or is that song like an odd marriage between a cracka-ass TV On The Radio and 1983 era New Order?

Derek 01.21.2009 05:44 PM

Haha Rob scores another goal again.

Toilet & Bowels 01.21.2009 05:48 PM

generally i don't have any sympathy for facism but seriously people who like this softcore crap need to be put in camps

Derek 01.21.2009 05:49 PM

I'm a fan of theirs. It's just a band you know... and people can like them all they want! Your insults are great though I must admit.

Rob Instigator 01.21.2009 05:54 PM

I can definitely see the appeal. It just does nothing for me. I may be getting old, I think. The bleep bloops no longer satisfy. I actually like Neil Young's new tune much more.

wellcharge 01.21.2009 05:54 PM

that video sucked

my original mental image of this track was like, megafly honeys getting off to the bassline, and now that is gone forever :(

Rob Instigator 01.21.2009 05:57 PM

I like guitars that sound like trains

there's a bassline in that AC video? ;)

sarramkrop 01.21.2009 05:59 PM

That song isn't really good. Neil Young is not on good vocal form either.

Anyway, what has disliking Animal Collective got to do with age? Isn't shit meant to be more or less the same colour at all ages?
