I honestly think they don't have the money for what most people would think is a "good"/viral music video
They must pass on tons of offers for bank/car/whatever commercials and put what disposable income they do have towards touring and living.
I remember Avey posting about the crayola commercial that licensed Sweet Road. He gave a lengthy explanation of why they allowed it. Something to the effect of "We were okay with them using the song because it's about kids being creative." No one even suggested that they had "sold out". Clearly it's something they feel strongly about
Now that I think about it, Avey had a story about being approached by a music video business and just for the hell of it they asked for Michel Gondry. The music video business said, "He doesn't really do that anymore." And they offered Gondry's brother who had done some Vines video.

Does anyone have any recording information on Oddsac? Like when or where it was recorded or who produced it? All I know is that it came out in 2010, but it's production is a total mystery to me.

I remember reading on here that it had been a work in progress since 2007

@fov found that quote.

“hey…

yes noah and i ok’d our song being in that commercial. They sent us a version so we could see it before hand and found it really funny and i checked up some on crayola just to make sure they werent that bad of a company which from the info i gathered seems like they are ok.

I wouldnt expect to be seeing our songs in too many other commercials. We are pretty careful about it. We turn down mostly everything (alot of beer commercials actually…always asking for sweet road…go figure) and dont feel the need to expose our music that way. This particualr instance seemed cool cause it invovled somthing for kids and somthing which had a big impact atleast on me when i was young, that being crayola markers and crayons.”

Of course. They do make incredibly strong psychedelic music. Kind of goes with the territory...

Awesome, I thought it was gone.

lol I just noticed that weird offbeat bit of flute they added at the end

[snarlsbarkly]

accurate?

[Texas Trill]

No because it implies Avey Tare and Panda Bear have been playing live nonstop since 1999

[Mayweed Mas]

Also if they're starting from 1999, shouldn't Deakin be there for working on Panda's s/t?

[jetski]

fixed

[Texas Trill]

Victor's infograph is more accurate though it should probably start in 1996 or 97

[inkspot]

oh pre 2000 ac doesn't count!

aw victor you sentimental shmuck

[BansheeBeat]

[hear_smiles]

I admit it wasn't released as an album officially titled "Live at 9:30" but it was also recorded live at the 9:30 Club, I was making a joke on that. I do love that 2007 boot though.

[Texas Trill]

Hash, do you not know of this live release from the band?

I listened to a lot of NPR back then and was subscribed to the All Shows Considered podcast so I heard that boot right when it was released. I had listened to Sung Tongs and liked it quite a bit, but that show is what had me totally fall in love with AC. I went out and bought SJ a bit after, dl'ed Feels, and I remember being stoked about the MPP stream when that was on NPR's website probably a year later. So that's how i started on my AC journey, but it all goes back to that 9:30 Club recording.

I just wish Bob Boilen hadn't decided to fuck with the volume levels in the middle of Peacebone.

if we get painting with and the deakin album on the same day (which is more and more likely as time goes on) i dunno if i'll be able to handle it!

[connerR]

Why is Feels the best album? I've been listening to it religiously at work. Maybe it's the otherwise bland nature of my desk and office that makes it sound so good?

i like sung tongs a lot at work as well, I do spin feels/sung tongs/strawberry jam the most. SJ probably still has the most plays for me.

As for why feels is the best album, yes.

[amber]

Feels has the best songs that make me cry happy and sad tears.

[IkoOvo]

feels has the whole dream sequence

feels like their most "story-oriented" to me

[kafkaesque]

feels is their most romantic, which is why i think it's a lot of people's favorite

[roopn]

mods, what's the story with the lil doggy in all our AVs?

I like it

I've wondered for a long time if Radiohead has a rivalry with AC. They share a lot of influences (dub, Madlib, Floating Points, Erykah Badu, Jazz, Aphex Twin) and have both been Pitchfork darlings for most if not all their careers. AC has to be on their radar, they've headlined the same festivals right?

Take something like Safer or Cuckoo Cuckoo (even New Town Burnout) and they compete with the best stuff Radiohead's done
