Animal Collective
 

full gig, twelve new songs

none of the songs are from strawberry jam. by the way,i'm really loving what i've heard off that. what do you think?

Strawberry Jam is absolutely fantastic.

the motherfuckers are playing in atlanta in september but on a wednesday. i'm miffed.

Too bad I missed the like 2 months ago.

"Strawberry Jam"
I hate that title so much.
Sounds like they should be wearing hemp jewelry and doing the snake-arm hippy chick dance.

The new new songs are pretty trippy, but strawberry is pretty ass kickin'.

i posted a link to this concert before. http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/sho...ght=strawberry

it's pretty good. strawberry jam is pretty slammin'. I like every song. There's no "Bees" on this, and I think that's good. Reverend Green is sublime, but I'm partial to the old, fast version.


Savage Clone,

I'd say AC are pretty much hippies -- or they at least make hippie music - and I think the title fits. When I saw them a year or so ago, there were only two people in the crowd wearing tye-dye -- avey tare and me.

I might make it down to that atlanta show.

Thanks, I got my ticket to see them in ottawa on September 7th! I've seen Avey Tare live too

I managed to get one of the promo posters done by Cricket Press when they where in town.

strawberry jam owns, awesome album, terrible title, i agree.

on the contrary, feels is a fantastic title but the music blows.

*shocked*
feels is a masterpeice
the purple bottle is one of my all time favorite songs..

and thanks, im DLing this show right now:cool:

Yeah, completely disagree about the feels opinion but it is an opinion after all.

I really like the way he screams on Peacebone.

feels is by far their worst album.

strawberry jam is a step in the right direction.. it feels like the music is trapped in ether.. whereas before, they were playing in the woods, now they're playing in outer space...

strawberry jam also holds the distinction of being an album that i like every song better than the song before it... the album just gets better and better!...

though i much prever avey tare's last solo album (and to a lesser extent, panda bear's)... damn, that album was underrated as fuck. people got so caught up in "OH, IT'S BACKWARDS!" "YEAH? LISTEN TO THE FRONTWARDS VERSION THAT'S HOW YOU HEAR THE SONGS FOR REAL!" "BUT THAT'S NOT HE POINT THE ACTUAL SONGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HEARD BACKWARDS" BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. just listen to the fucking album, stop generalizing and theorizing on it. it's genius. on that note, i also dig the new mum record.

animal collective, one of the only pitchfork-dick-sucking indie bands worth caring about.

i haven;t heard all of them, but my favorite albums by them are:

1. hollindagain
2. prospect hummer ep
3. strawberry jam
4. sung tongs
5. here comes the indian
5000011. feels

I'm seeing them on September the 18th!!!!

I am quite excited to the max.

I'm not really a big fan of these guys, but Strawberry Jam has to be their best album yet, right? I'm listening through it for the second time and I have to say it isn't really annoying like some of there earlier stuff which is pretty hit or miss to me.

I've always thought that their earlier stuff sounded like somebody got a group of retarded hippie/commune children from the early 70's together to record an album in less than a day.....not that that is neccessarily a bad thing.

I don't really listen to it anymore, but it is a really good record that every magazine in the world will give "album of the year" honors to. Whoopty.

That is what they sound like..... and yes it is a bad thing.

I love Feels and Strawberry Jam, but I have to be in the mood for Here Comes the Indian.

I haven't heard the rest, but I believe I'll get Sung Tongs soon.

One more thing, I love the way he screams and I wish I could do it.
