It would be for me!

can somebody tell me what the meaning behind the name "tomboy" is? I suck at google i guess

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 07, 2015 4:29 am

tomboy = a girl who enjoys rough, noisy activities traditionally associated with boys.

When I think of a tomboy I also think the girl usually likes to dress and hang out with boys over girls maybe?

In any case panda said he liked the word because he dug the "two opposing forces inside of a person" aspect of it I think? I am def paraphrasing that but yeaa...

hmm. yeah i knew the literal sense of what a tomboy is, just didn't know what panda was trying to convey with that in his album as a theme. sorry kinda worded that shitty.

That reason totally makes sense though. Like a confliction and competition internally. I read a few interviews from the era and he talks a lot of about golf and competition between you and only you, so tomboy works in that sense.

I like how "tomboy" implies both an inner conflict as well as a conflict with societal norms. fits the music quite well

This probably doesn't help at all but Panda said in this interview that Tomboy is about Black Sabbath's Master of Reality album lol

So last night as I was leaving this shitty townie bar near where I live I queued Alvin Row on the jukebox. Unfortunately one of my friends was driving and wanted to leave so I didn't get to see the reactions =( My friend also put up Echoes by Pink Floyd after it

Went to an AC dj show last night and I got some info. The whole "DJ tour" thing is so they can finance a tour and album? Something about financing. This year is in fact the year when AC plays new shows, avey said in the fall they'll most likely be touring. Talked to deakin about his album and he said it should be done by June and out by the end of the year. The couple of AC songs they played, Daily Routine and a dubbed out Queen in my Pictures, are actually exclusive deakin remixes for these shows, apparently deak loves to remix old songs of theirs? Geologist is also super skinny now.

holy shit that's a bunch of good news!! thanks for asking dude

e: except being forced to do a dj tour for financing is kinda shitty

e x2: did deakin say anything about touring for his album? it'd be sick if he opened some of the AC dates, considering it will presumably coming out around the same time that they'd be touring

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 1:39 am

Wow. A lot of very exciting/interesting things in that post, not the least of which is Geo's weight loss

I'm skeptical of a fall tour and even moreso of Deakin's album coming out before the end of the year (sorry Deaks) but just the fact that he actually gave a timeline and said it'll be done soon is promising.

Also,

Um, what?? Need to hear this!!! Somebody record it plz :negative:

and yeah that seems weird about using a DJ tour to finance. I mean, there's a million DJs out there, so I wouldn't think it'd be a very lucrative gig, but I could be wrong

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 1:47 am

So was it like a totally new rerecorded Queen in My Pictures? Or the original mixed over a dub beat? I'm very intrigued by this, so cool that AC is still revisiting some of their earliest material

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 2:14 am

Deakin didn't say anything about touring, but he did say only 2 of his "old" song would be on it, I think 2friends was confirmed? And the Queen in my Pics was like the original version with a dubby bass beat on it, it was really really damn good actually and I asked if they where gonna release these and avey said maybe there was some surprises coming. I'm personally thinking they're gonna do a whole reissuing past stuff type of thing with bonus tracks etc.

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 2:17 am

oh and DJ seems very lucrative because this show was very very packed, like they had their stage full of us dancing plus the whole venue itself was full too

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 3:51 am

damn this is exciting!

dud · Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 6:28 am

shiiit i hope one of the tracks is footy or island chase

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 9:30 am

WOAH this is crazy stuff. i LOVED his old tracks

but i guess it's great that we'll have those boots plus new stuff? very excited, June must mean he's hard at work on it as we speak! (i will always believe you deak no matter how many times u break my heart

luv u frever)

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 4:42 pm

Who said forced and why is it shitty?
Raising the money for writing and studio time themselves to me seems to be preferable to relying on Domino's advance, and being in debt.

They've been sharing mixes for years for free, so I think DJ'ing is something they would actually enjoy.

dud · Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 6:35 pm

eh yeah i guess that was just my interpretation of it, "The whole "DJ tour" thing is so they can finance a tour and album" sounded to me like 'we're only doing this for money' but yeah they seem into it

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 7:09 pm

For what it's worth they looked like they where having a blast. Deakin is an incredible dancer, so much energy. Also I'm like 80% they where at least a little drunk cause they where drinking Budweiser tall boys the whole time

THANK YOU BASED DEAKIN

Post **Posted:** Sun Feb 15, 2015 3:17 am

It's all so exciting

what the hell is their new album going to sound like? I mean, where is there left to go? I feel like every time they make a new album, it's a 100% new sound. it's so unpredictable

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 16, 2015 11:07 am

why is it that "Whaddit I Done" it sometimes written with ", Brad?" at the end?

Seriously tho what does that even mean. It kind of makes me laugh. "what have i done, brad???"

Also, what would a dubbed out queen in my pictures even sound like

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 17, 2015 12:54 am

really need to hear this queen in my pictures dub

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 17, 2015 5:08 am

just picture like a pulsing bass over queen in my pics, kinda like the beat for the new preakness but a lot slower

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 17, 2015 5:16 am

I'm picturing something like the 2007 BBC version of "Doggy." But tbh I've always liked Queen in my Pictures better... I absolutely cannot wait until I hear this

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 17, 2015 9:45 pm

Deakin just liked a photo of mine from 2 months ago on Instagram???

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 17, 2015 11:49 pm

Wait, really? Avey just liked one of my old photos! wtf...! Took a screenshot because it was hard to believe

Post **Posted:** Wed Feb 18, 2015 12:15 am

Maybe they'll start creeping the people of CA out the way old CA creeped out them.

Post **Posted:** Wed Feb 18, 2015 12:27 am

OMG I want Avey or deak to like an old photo of mine

for real tho that's kind of weird...

Oh man, that means either Good House or Island Chase will get the chop (if not both)

...but that's still exciting to know there is so much new deak that we'll hopefully get to hear soonish.

Uh that's my Instadream. Jealous

Post **Posted:** Wed Feb 18, 2015 2:29 pm

the deak liked my photo of my campfire songs CD too!

Post **Posted:** Wed Feb 18, 2015 3:01 pm

Did you guys use any hashtags in the liked photos? Maybe they weren't creeping on your profiles specifically but instead they were searching for certain topics, or maybe even just searching for Campfire Songs in roopn's case
