Animal Collective on Conan
 

Animal Collective will be performing on Conan on Oct. 5 (that's a friday)



you should watch it.

I will indeed. It seems Conan has, well, decent taste anyways when it comes to music; he has a lot of stuff the other late night shows probably wouldn't have. I don't know, maybe it's because of his time slot he has a little more freedom.

it has nothing to do with that hateful redhead peckerwood fuck

his staff books who they book to attract the 18-25 year old male demographic.

yeah, probably true, I can tend to be somewhat niave at times :)

What's your beef with Conan, Rob?

I hate him and I want him dead

that show does have some great music on it though, afterthefact.

just my own personal beef against that flaming cocksmear

I'd kick that blue-blood yankee fuck in the neck if I ever got the chance.

Even if I hated Conan as much as Rob does, I'd still sit through the show to watch AC perform. Maybe I'd just turn it on during the last 15 minutes or so.

By the way, there's now a video for the first single on Strawberry Jam - Peacebone. It's weird as fuck. Check it out:

a few things.

1) conan is dumb.

2) carson daly gets much.. uhm... weirder musical guests than conan.

3) i'm REALLY surprised Animal Collective released peacebone as their first single; that's easily the worst song (by FAR) on that album.. eh?

I really liked peacebone live about a year ago - it's still a good song, but far from the best on the album. Still you can kinda tell it was produced to be a single. The only song on the album that I really can't get into is Winter Wonderland.

Funny you should mention carson - AC was supposed to be on his show a few months back but it never happened. This will be their first tv appearance.

I was thinking about what they'll play off the album since most of the "hits" on it are over 5 minutes and Chores seems unlikely to me for some reason.

He wrote some good Simpsons episodes, thats why I can't hate him.

I guess they do have to play something from that album, huh? Domino would probably be pissed if they went on there to supposedly promote Strawberry Jam and ended up playing some of the material that they are playing on their tour now.

My guess would be Peacebone, since it's the single. Chores would actually be my second guess - I've heard that it's been played on the radio in some places. My vote would be for Unsolved Mysteries - I've seen them play most of the other songs before.

I only just found out that Deakin isn't touring with them AGAIN and this is disappointing.

yeah, he's taking some time off. he's fun to watch bounce around, but nothing about seeing AC live disappoints me. I would have loved to have seen them on tour before Sung Tongs when it was just Avey and Panda with acoustic guitars.

Me too, but seeing as I was completely unaware of the almighty collective at the time it wasn't possible. I'm missing their shows in nyc next weekend and am incredibly bummed, i've been wanting to see Strawberry Jams live. They were great when they did the May/June tour though.

You wouldn't be seeing much Strawberry Jam live if you got to go anyway. A few songs yeah, but they're mostly playing material for the next album. I want to go see them in ATL on wednesday, but I don't think I can make the drive.

I'm hoping on another tour sometime after the winter for my chance to see them again. But the conan performance will be very interesting.

Ok, I'm sure the reason Carson gets the guests he does is because his budget is probably signifcantly less than that of the other shows; he can't afford Gwen Steffani, so he goes for Tegan and Sara instead. :) Seriously though, I doubt somebody as affiliated with MTV and specifically TRL the way he was has the best taste in music.

And also, as far as Peacebone being their first single, it does seem that a lot of bands release one of their lesser songs as their first single. I guess the psychology behind it is that if you like that stuff, then you will LOVE the album, and instead of having a bunch of people buy your CD whether they like it or not, only those who will really enjoy it will buy it. That way you hear less criticism and have a stronger fan base. Well anyways, that's my guess :)

I've always hated this band
