Collected Animals

I feel like this is gonna be super big
Like a lot of people will easily love this when it comes out
Person pitch #2! But better maybe
This is unrelated but sometimes i forget that panda has won a grammy

Yeah, I'd really like to see it blow up. Can't contain myself til the release.

I'd echo those sentiments, not only do I think this some of PB's best material, I also think it's some of his most accessible. Of course accessibility is a sliding scale, and when looked at in comparison with the rest of the entire Animal Collective discography, PB's solo material has always been fairly accessible. But the Grim Reaper songs in particular really feel like they do something really special. I'm very excited for this to come out.

Anyone know the setlist from the show in Germany yesterday? Did he play any new tracks?

are there any transitions between songs?
we need to know everything!!!

MOOOOP !!
Hey buddy !
How diff ? Hmmm.... To what ? The boots of late ?
I think a bit ...but the show is the guts of it ....after the obvious show sound to
record translation ?? Not much ... Nail gun on full power....
I dunno ...It' might b the first PANDA lp where u can see all the colour .....
.....where u can hear him breathe .....hear the tears . feel the cheers .
i think theres a diversity & breadth he's never fully shown off before....
...he's hit a dynamic spot .
theres a depth to the stuff that goes beyond before ...creating more layers ...,
For sure .....we pushed the boat out on GR.....over the styx.....its still out there .... Somewhere ....Khaeron eating kandy coin , cerberus chomping kook cake ...
The last message received ;
' a noise annoys an oyster '....
Fair enough , eh ?
Me ? Not so much ....after midday at least......tiptaptoe !

Me hyping u guys ?? That'd be tuff
Methinks the ladles & Jellyspoons here dont need my helps...

I admit ... It's the impossible task nobody gave me ....
Ha ...
to be fair , i feel what i say .....and vice versa....
I could just hide & shrug .....
U can get me back after it drops , i suppose ....
But the intention is useful info .. ....
Morning

It is certainly useful info, PK. Much obliged!

' a noise annoys an oyster '....

this is so fun to say out loud

I wonder if Jellyspoons is a song title???

lol nope

"hey what song are you listening to"
"jelly spoons by panda bear"

lol nope

why not? We're talking about a man who coined the album title Strawberry Jam!

I wonder if Jellyspoons is a song title???

or Ladles maybe?

can someone more learned in sonicspeak translate this for me?

idk, he's talking abt this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charon_(mythology) and cerberus the watchdog to hades. the 'noise annoys' part is just classic sb wordplay

Charon takes a coin for ferry service, so i guess sb and pbear used a candy coin, and distracted cerberus with kook cake so they could push their boat out onto those stygian pools (orpheus played his lyre to make cerberus chill out so he could get past, and herakles physically kicked his ass, i guess everyone has their own method)

fun fact: 2 of pluto's moons (pluto=hades) are kerberos (greek cerberus) and charon. pretty cool moons

If the album keeps the vocal style that the live show has, I can really see GR as an amalgamation of Panda's work. The spacey electronics of Tomboy, the sampled structure of Person Pitch, the emotional depth of Young Prayer, and the... the juxtaposition of styles in the self-titled.

^I like that Dyland. Almost like what the Seer was for Swans.

....so hopefully Grim Reaper is also 120 minutes long

MOOOOP !!

SONIC!!! yay!!

i was in my car blasting nadir and felt like crying once it was over. i can't wait to hear it in all of its boom glory... Nadir, come to yr senses and tropic all just go right for the gut it seems.

He really sounds like he is just letting loose on these tracks and is so confident and sassy about it!! I love it!!!! 'Stay still while I move / Stay scared while I improve' ahh!

i'm actually irritated by this sentiment really... as if you can't improve by staying still in some situations... or move forward while being frightened or move forward because you're frightened...

damn right

That's most often the case though.

This is going to be the aoty for sure

Hey Pete, love your work first of all (especially on Congratulations - one of my fave albums ever). It would be awesome if you wrote something for the back cover of Grim Reaper like you did for that album. I love reading your takes on each track (...."Laying in wait, but revealing a gateway. A Door. Consciousness aligns.") Anyway, can't wait to hear Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper!

I don't know if it's because of how hyped I am for this album or just because I'm getting old, but I can't dig any new music these days. The only thing I've really enjoyed this year so far is the Swans album.
I'm just waiting for the reaper.

_dAMP, I hope that last sentence isn't meant to have a double meaning

Just in a musical sense

haha the same here. and I dont even love all the songs on TBK. maybe everybody - except for some unexceptional musicians - is waiting for the reaper.

yup , that's pretty much us right now .. LIFE

getting really antsy just THINKING about these songs

Hopefully the Domino website tagline right now comes true

psyched!!!!

I can't keep up with these titles but whatever that song is he's ending his sets with is going to be great. the melody for the last few lines is phenomenal

Anyone know if any if this spread of shows are broadcast / webcast ?
The shows last night & tonight with MGMT would be sweet....
U Bear hounds found any juice ??
