yeah, I do like that video - such a great song. Their neighbors must have loved them.


Here's a video of Avey Tare and Panda Bear playing Winter's Love prior to the release of Sung Tongs:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0fV-CwlBkQ

Contrast that to this performance of We Tigers, I believe last year.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9F5ZthSUcE

I like the energy they play with, no matter the style of the song. It's a lot of fun to watch a band that really enjoys playing its music.

While I'm at it here's some other videos:

Cool version of Purple Bottle (Planet Claire Session)
Otherwise unknown song "I've got mine"
Video for Leaf House
For Reverend Green Live

wouldn't be amazing if they did cuckoo cuckoo? of course they wont', they'll do peacebone.

also, how can anyone HATE animal collective? i can see someone not being into it, but hatred? how can anyone hate beautiful melodies, beautiful harmonies, original song ideas and structures, beautiful singing, etc? Blows my mind.. i don't sit around and listen to, like, the beach boys every day.. but i recognize their brilliance enough to not hate them. They're just too good. Same thing here. Eh. I'm not saying you have to be in love with them; but universally speaking, they're a pretty hard band to hate.

i don't "hate" them but,

it was hard watching Built to Spill rip off Neil Young
and then watching Modest Mouse rip off Built to Spill
and then watching Animal Collective ripping off Modest Mouse.

i wouldn't really associate the term "brilliance" with them.

i have heard a few modest mouse cds and was far from impressed. granted they have an ok vibe, they are not nearly as interesting or inovative or have such a vast range of sounds and songs as animal collective.
and would certainly not just mark them off as a "modest mouse ripoff band"

I keep hearing this animal collective/modest mouse thing brought up. First off, I'm guessing anyone that's making that comparison has probably only heard the most recent Animal Collective material (or probably only read the Tiny Mix Tapes review of SJ, saying that it sounds influenced by early MM.) and has never dared to look into their back catalog.

If you listen to an album like Here Comes the Indian and still think they sound like Modest Mouse, well then I'm just baffled. However, if you listen to HCTI and you get kinda scared, or are like "what the hell?" then I'd understand a lot more.

I've been listening to this band for about 3 or 4 years now and I still can't pin down what they sound like (except maybe the beach boys in some places). Every album has a distinct style and sound. But I also understand that it's not easy to get into them - it took me a long time after first hearing HCTI and Sung Tongs before ever giving them a second go. Feels and Strawberry Jam are different - very accessible, very poppy, still good albums.

Studio recordings don't do justice to the energy and sheer wildness of AC though. I've seen Modest Mouse play and I've seen Animal Collective play. I think if you saw them both, the comparisons would stop.

But. . . whatever floats your boat. One fewer person at the next AC show!

For those that dig the AC, more great news. I got this from their board, hope it's fo' real:

On September 28th, NPR will be broadcasting the Animal Collective show from D.C.. How cool is that?

That's cool they're getting the exposure they diserve. But, at the same time I hope they don't get toooo big.

I don't think that's in danger of happening, but I wouldn't mind it at all. I want their music to have an impact on as many people as possible.
