I think one of two things happened iirc. Either they wouldn't let him play the keyboard part live/made him use a backing track, so he put his hands behind his back, OR.. during the recording his keyboard somehow turned off/got unplugged, so he just put his hands behind his back, and then afterwords they dubbed in his part for the broadcast.

I remember him being sick a lot during the time and I felt like he was just wanting to put the least amount of effort into playing the song but yeah. wish coulda asked !

and yeah honeycomb early on was definitely something very cool.. kinda reptile sounding but turned out it's got no eggs .

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 25, 2016 6:30 pm

I hope one day to find one of those elusive stickers

managed to find that 'today's supernatural' conan appearance that some of you were talking about, at least most of it, seems like it gets cut off early here.
in my memory he didn't play at all during the song but apparently it was about halfway through that he put his hands behind his back.

it's a photobucket video, not even sure if you can embed those here so here's the link:

thanks!

e: is it just my imagination or is the tempo ever so slightly slower than it normally is? the song feels like it drags just the tiniest bit here

Post **Posted:** Fri Mar 25, 2016 11:15 pm

Weird video. At first I thought his throat was fucked or something but that's not he case. Basically one of his hands drops off, he shares a few knowing looks with Deakin then puts his hands behind his back for the rest of the song.

If only all of their late night performances were as legendary as #1 on Conan. But then again I feel like there are few bands in the world that have late night appearances under their belt that can match that particular performance.

dud · Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 26, 2016 1:14 am

late night appearances just aren't a good setting for ac performances imo, #1 is the only good one imo

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 26, 2016 4:19 am

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 26, 2016 8:27 am

Post **Posted:** Sat Mar 26, 2016 1:39 pm

Looks like they uploaded all of PW to their soundcloud along with 30 sec previews of every song from their first 6 albums https://soundcloud.com/anmlcollective

maybe gearing up for early album reissues or something? idk

Avey mentioned that they just got rights to their early albums in the AMA if I remember correctly, so it's possible. Or maybe they'll start using SC to upload boots to, which would also be cool.

Post **Posted:** Wed Mar 30, 2016 12:34 pm

soundcloud just launched a paid subscription service, similar to spotify. the previews are probably what we see with a free account/no account, and they're probably the full tracks when you're signed into a subscriber account.

cool to see that sung tongs is copyrighted to my animal home, and no longer fatcat. feels and the domino albums aren't there, yet at least.

Post **Posted:** Wed Mar 30, 2016 1:25 pm

there's nothing there for me

Post **Posted:** Thu Mar 31, 2016 12:27 am

i didn't see this get much luvin around here but it's probably tied with panda's version of cheap treat as my favorite AC remix

Spoiler: show

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 02, 2016 12:14 am

So I googled Animal Collective Peel Session to see if they had ever done a peel session and I found this very strange article

I can't tell what they're reviewing there

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 02, 2016 7:32 pm

lol @ your comment on the page eth

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 02, 2016 9:46 pm

I think they just really wanted to review two releases at once??

Post **Posted:** Sun Apr 03, 2016 5:08 am

love this too. another thing i felt didn't get much love here was that shabazz palaces "#CAKE" remix, love that so much. the lyrics always crack me up, avey singing shit like 'a cake this good will need a disguise' is priceless lol

Post **Posted:** Sun Apr 03, 2016 7:49 pm

Anyone have the lyrics for #CAKE?

Post **Posted:** Mon Apr 04, 2016 3:45 am

Just came in to say it is a very good time to be a Animal Collective fan
