Collected Animals

Someone in my dictionary's up to no good
Cause I never find the very special words I should

Always you ....

-Every single second of Banshee Beat. I know it's been said before but, I honestly believe it's the most perfect song ever written/recorded. I don't think they or anyone will ever top it.

-the slow rising drone into transcendent bliss in Daffy Duck and "there we go changing again, there we gooo agaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiin"

-the screams in live versions of The Purple Bottle

-but I feel like iiiiiiiiii've just been boooooooorn
when you LOOOK
AT MEEE
with your pretty eyeeeeeeeeeees
when you LOOOK
AT MEE
with your black eyeeeeeeeeeeeeees
when you LOOOK
AT ME
with your deeaaad eyyeyyeyyeeeeees
*and the breathing background vocals between those last few lines

-Spirit They've Vanished

-untitled

-the transition from Bat You'll Fly into La Rapet

-the birds are calling for you please don't folloooooooow

-so put your lanterns on across the maze....

-ok, STGSTV in it's entirety

-Cuckoo Cuckoo & For Reverend Green

-YAHHHH-KUH YAHHHH-KUH YAHHHH-KUH YAHHHH-KYUH YAHHHH-KYUH YAHHHH-KYUH YAHHHH-KUH YAHHHH-KUH YAHHHH-KUH YAHHHH-KUH YAHHHH-KUH YAHHHH-KYUH TA KAHHHHHHH

-the drop about 40 seconds into #1 when that tambourine?coin jingle? sound starts

-the opening sounds on Grass

-Two Sails on a Sound & Too Soon

the "live at 9:30" version of "Brothersport" is quickly becoming one of my favorite recordings of any band

the playfulness at the beginning before they launch into the song especially ... such beautiful nonwords & an intense vibrancy of spirit! then the song begins and by the rave section all all blood cells are erupting

AC live circa 2006-2007 ... glorious times

Sick gif

same goes for the pre-brosport banter at prospect park - the show included with the CHz deluxe ed dvd. "i like this. I LIKE THIS."



its not quite the same in this as it is on the dvd, but its up there for my fav ac moments.

prospect park dvd brosport is my fave



~15 minutes in

panda's screams 20 minutes in are the best 15sec buildup I've ever heard them do

:nateweep:

blocked in my country

damn

My absolute favorite thing ever is the transition from Queen in My Pictures to Doggy in Campfire Songs. Too cool for school.

this moment in slippi

I dont wish that i was dead
A good old friend once said
That either way you look at it
You have your fits , i have my fits
But feeling is good ...

Mmm so good ...

hahahah that seinfeld vid is too good

how can people even listen to banshee beat without dying irl at this point? song has had to be skipped ever since the last last breakup

"i literally can't even"

AC live circa 2006-2007 ... glorious times

you know what show this was from?

Starlight Ballroom 03/22/06. almost 10 years ago!

ya, i GIFd it straight from that vid... the entire concert is phenomenal

cool....that was right around when I saw them at chicago for the first time, and it looked similar.

this moment in slippi

omg who did this lol

HAHAHAHAHAHA


Perfection! :deakweep:

one of my all time favourite AC moments is Chores at about 34:30 in this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmIgqpcItdQ

I know it's been said, but the chorus of In the Flowers is just somerthing to behold. One of my favourite melodies, some of my favourite lyrics

it's time now to rewind the tape during that Fireworks/Essplo/Fireworks boots, might be one of my favortite thing ever.

Centipede Hz was fine but not the Collective's finest moment.

That said, Avey's "WHAT?!" before the breakdown in "Moonjock" was maybe my favorite musical moment of 2012.

Hey, Bible Pilot, an ad for (I assume) your music came up on my Facebook feed earlier.

Yah that was me. Actually posted the story of working with Scott Colburn here on the Your Sounds subforum yesterday!

I LOVE EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY ANIMAL COLLECTIVE SONG. BUT HERE ARE SOME FAVORITE LYRICS

This is one that I only recently noticed: the huge scream in the left channel during the "chorus" of slippi. I can't get enough of it, it's so satisfying.

Also, it sounds like it could be Deakin. Can anyone confirm/disprove that?

the outro from turn into something

the "nnnnYEAAAYEAAAAAAH NYAH NYAH NYAH NYEHEEEHEEEAAAAAH" from safer

any live version of we tigers

Panda bear backing vocals on DYSTW
Also the ooooooos in Grass

Backing vox all over feels are fantastic

Omg yesss

such an awesome video, and so so true

The line in Safer about kissing and jerking
"trAFFIC SIGNAAAAAAAAAA-" in the The Ritz recording of Daily Routine
The bass drum kicking into gear on The Purple Bottle (Live)

How have I never heard the 2009 Glastonbury recording before?

My Girls is unbelievable, samples weaving in and out throughout, the most psychedelic the song has ever been.

glastonbury is an amazing boot. the extended fireworks is unreal
