agh it took me too long to realize what i was seeing

The AMA went well... didn't want it to end, r/music behaved themselves enough.

Crossing 'find out what a chicken laying an egg looks like' off the list.

Is there an easy way I can read the Q/A or is it a fuckin' mess?

Just click on slasherflicks in the q/a and it will bring up all the answers that avey gave. If you want to see the question that was asked, click on "context". This narrows it down so you don't have to scroll through the entire thing.

Cool cool. I don't think I've ever been on Reddit before. Guess I should have looked before asking. Thanks!

Ugh don't start redditing. It's addicting and makes you hate everything you love.

perhaps music is just a bit more disposable in this digital age.

I was just talking about this on the slasher flicks thread the other day. good to know me and dave are on the same wavelength.

The backhanded stuff is really embarassing (see below), the softball shit makes my dick soft (what inspires you/how do you write music/what LITERAL slasher flicks do you like?/do you like hip hop). God actually what a waste

Fuck

"Will we ever see you return to a slower paced/minimal and intimate style of music composition, or are we going to be in an ever increasing multi-layered multi-dimensional soundscape, matching our increased global pace of networking and information overload?" die

I asked him if he'd rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck

Post **Posted:** Fri Apr 11, 2014 2:02 am

haven't read this thread but i must say this was easily the best AMA i've yet to experience on reddit. everything he answered he answered comprehensively (paying attention to all ?s in a single post) and the questions both satisfied the hardcore fanbase and was an interesting read from a casual perspective

just really impressed with his responses

Post **Posted:** Fri Apr 11, 2014 3:24 am

I was expecting some more interesting [the kind of things we've always wanted to ask avey] questions/more answers, though... there have been better interviews.

nice to see he doesn't look at CA/any other forum

Post **Posted:** Fri Apr 11, 2014 3:29 am

yeah, i woulda been pissed if he said he looked at animal collective.org

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2014 12:20 am

yeah but not until 4-5 years later

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2014 3:24 am

I apologize to the person I upset for my backhanded question, I knew what I was doing when I asked it, knew it'd be inflammatory, didn't even fully agree with it myself, and decided to submit it anyway, because I barely finished typing before the AMA went up. My first question is all I actually cared about.

On a related note though, try not to let people on the internet get your panties in a twist! Take it easy

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2014 3:44 am

what was your question

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2014 3:50 am

A huge amount of things can be understood just by fully reading this thread here, and I don't think it's too much to ask of anyone to have caught up on all subject matter context before throwing out more refuse

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2014 3:54 am

oh, cool.

wait what

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2014 4:08 am

oh it must have been if he was ever gonna make slow music again? but ya that definitely wasn't clear dude
on that note i don't think its really a bad question or that big a deal, hey you were curious

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2014 4:19 am

yeah ur good, just askin mayne.
