Collected Animals

I mean I heard them in there but never really focused on them to the point that I really noticed all the little details of it. That's what's great about this album you can kind of just close your eyes, block out the rest of the world and explore.

yeah i namean

I like doing imaginary mixes for myself, and the other day I made one that I thought others would appreciate if shared. I call it "Merriweather Pre Pavilion". It's composed of live bootlegs of MPP songs put in the same order as the album. It has probably been done before, but I made nifty album art for it so you should check it out. Plus, why not celebrate the anniversary of its freebird this Christmas with a new way to listen to what could have been?

I tried to weigh sound quality and merit of performances equally when selecting songs, as well as pick from songs with original lyrics (unfortunately, both old versions of "In The Flowers" and "Summertime Clothes" don't have boots that are up to my standards to use). Some transitions are better than others and I combined intros/outros with different bootlegs. I wanted very much to include "From A Beach", as well as reworked older songs, but I felt the album is too sacred to tamper with.

Anyway, enjoy! If people dig this I can post my FBK mix entitled, "Fall Was Kind".

Ok, I went ahead and uploaded my FWK mix.

"Fall Was Kind"

thanks dyland!

yeah can't wait to listen!

name the best five rappers in the world.

Dyland, dYland, dyLand, DYland, and dyland?

aaaaand we're back in high school.

that "Merriweather Pre Pavilion" artwork is so rad. I love it. Great job dude can't wait to listen to this.

stoked dyland thank u!

there isn't much
that i feel i need
a solid soul
and the blood i bleed

MPP has forever enchanted my life jesus christ is something wrong with me?
i just can't stop like you said it's been 5 years and i still get giddy like a little goddamn kid whose hopes and dreams have not been crushed by this cruel fuckin world this music just releases it man shit

I can't believe this album is already 5 years old I still remember the day I bought the CD at Best Buy.

Ha I bought mine there too when it came out. Small world !

Yeah I find new stuff in it all the time listening. Its not like you'll hear every little detail the first listen.

Exactly. And surprisingly, most people I talk to only give most music a single listen before they judge. Music needs at least several listens to get a decent grasp of what is going on and what is trying to be conveyed.

When the radiator in my apartment kicks on it sounds just like the very beginning of My Girls.

That is all.

Mines is the first few seconds of the batman cartoon theme song, from the 90s. Bluish and Runnin would b nice

dylan that mix of mpp you made is great, thanks so much

dylan that mix of mpp you made is great, thanks so much

seriously great work dude!

Thanks, y'all!

I thought it that maybe it got passed over so I'm glad to know others are enjoying it!

It really steams me up when RYM dumbos criticize this album as AC's worst because of it's broad appeal.

Okay those are my thoughts goodbye.

I don't feel a need to dub an album as the "worst"

still hearing new sounds on this album 3 years later

3 years later than what?

his first listen im assuming

think he means its been 3 years since he got surgery that allowed him to hear for the first time since he was a kid but that its taken this long to relearn to hear

ya since i first heard it

well i listened to it a few times in 2009 and had songs in playlists but in 2011 my friend took me to a show and ya

hey guys I went ahead and made an alternate mix of merriweather pp that smashes up animal collective with the power pop guitar stylings of weezer. I call it merriweezer pinkerton pavilion. still working on the music itself but here's the artwork to hold you over in the meantime. i'm really enjoying the opportunity to take a swipe at a "what if" in AC's history. maybe we can make this an ongoing thing? this is gonna be pretty killer



let me know if you have any special requests and i'll try to work them in there. NAMASTE!

Oh my God if there's any way you're serious Souvlaki then I will be so thrilled to hear this

My Half Japanese Girls?

Also Frightened in the Garage?


Hash Pipe Chores?


Fireworks, Say It Ain't So?


My Name is Jonas...Another White Singer?


The World Has Turned and Left Me Here and Someday I'll Grow to Be As Tall As the Giant

lol I like how every song you named is from the blue album except for hash pipe.

'Got A Brand New Car Looks Like a Lion In A Coma Lion In A Coma Something Something Fine Aroma'

Feeder are like Weezer. Mix some Feeder in there.
