yeah, the record sounds like it's done, i think it's just a matter of time. getting into the part of the year where if it's still coming out in 2021 i would expect to hear something sooner rather than later

[headroom)))]

Ish Butler on how seeing The Helio Sequence and AC live (probably 2006 at Neumos) inspired him to start up Shabazz Palaces.

There's also some great anecdotes on creativity in that interview. Ish has a cool comment on seeing rain and being aware of the wonders of existence and not letting the daily grind distract you from that.

the AC reddit needs to be put out of its misery, old yeller style

that place is full cringe content

on there more than I'd like to admit, like to drop an occasional interview snippet or cool shit from the archive but it always veers back to the memes

i see you in there a lot trying to make productive convo like a true king but it will really always inevitably get drowned out by teens pretending to be high and post shit that here would garner a response of “this is why the band doesn’t post here anymore”

Not to sound like a curmudgeon but it sucks how the internet is gradually making irreverence and irony the default modes of discourse. those things are cool when they're in the shadow of actual substantiative discussion or serving as a thoughtful critique. now it's just been lazily blown up and jammed everywhere to the point where the largest AC forum is filled with garbage. and it's not like there's a lack of AC material to talk seriously about!

Awww that rocks. Makes even more sense that they remixed them

For sure! I’ve always found the #Cake remix underrated/overlooked as it’s basically its own Avey track. Always wish that got an official release outside of their YouTube channel.

Don't mind me I'm just quoting this so I can remember to watch later

[Fovrodi]

Nice! It came up in this interview between Ish and Avey a while back too. Ish also mentions wanting to do a collaboration.

Oh that's really cool; Ishmael says "did you do an Avey Tare (show) in Seattle?" and when Avey says he did three weeks ago, Ish goes "daamn I must've been out of town" and that's actually a show I was at!

[rohcti]

This wait is legitimately killing me. It's coming up on 2 years since they played these songs live...

To be fair a lot of craziness has happened the last few years lol...

lol Panda apparently is a playtester for the new Skate game. along with Atiba and Rico Nasty.

[roopn]

Lmaooo bizarre

[Tropic]

That rules

[Cooper]

I bet Atiba made that happen. He’s been their biggest champion in mainstream media

Why is Man of Oil so popular on Spotify? It has more plays than tracks like Fireworks, FloriDada, and barely scrapes ahead of Summertime Clothes. It also surpasses all other MOTW tracks in plays by almost two orders of magnitude. Was it used in something popular?

[denjanenna]

prob cause it was on the vice show about that project

[onebraineno]

A thought I had about that is maybe it's been on a lot of spotify curated playlists. It is a pretty accessible song. It's the 22nd most popular AC song on Apple Music. If it was the vice thing I'd expect similar placing on both services.

[NotBradPitt]

I would imagine that the folks interested in the Vice show would've also heard tracks like Summertime Clothes and Fireworks. The curated playlists is an interesting thought

This also makes me think about how King Bromeliad by Floating Points has 11 mil on Spotify, his most played track by far. It's damn good so I think it deserves it, but still

Nah I'm not fixing that quote

[roopn]

And king gizzard work this time

[NotBradPitt]

I want a playlist of songs like this now

Thanks for that article. Really interesting read. I can see "Man of Oil" falling into that "sounds-similar-to" auto-play loop. I was looking up Blonde Redhead tracks for a playlist the other day and saw that "For the Damaged Coda" was super popular. It had 50 million more plays than their next most popular song. Later on I heard it on a few funny Tik Toks on IG. Its a strange world these days )
Pavement ist Rad!

Always makes me think of Panda dancing like a sped up spiderman gif when he's singing
WHAT!...YOU OWN!....UHHOHHHH! BURGLARS!


EDIT: I pretty much see them dancing to every song from PW as they play it

[doggyfactory]
