Collected Animals

Can't wait til Avey picks up the guitar again. Or til they start playing songs without programmed beats again, live. It's all about that band playing together dynamic. I miss that, a bit. In watching their recent live videos, they're great, but altogether that vibe is a little weird for me. Love the feel of something created from nothing. Anyway i'm just rambling. This band offers me a fair few challenges and i accept them graciously, with great reward.

Very interesting ... where was this dug up ?

The colllective cant die now ... we all need them in our lives ...

Hope they will b around till the 50th year anniversary ...

Thats a lotta music ahead ... but we shall see ... all best ...

Pulled it from DIYmag, the rest of the article is pretty standard, but in that paragraph it seemed like Geo was quite salty (like pizza )

And yeah I feel you Spectrum, it would be cool to hear them get off the grid again. There's something so dynamic about timing in earlier AC albums that I don't think they've messed around with since Strawberry Jam really. Even though I bet a lot of that is programed in as well.

I didn't read that as Geo being salty really, more just curious about the shifting nature of what's "in", meaning that he's fine with old fans not necessarily digging whatever ac does next.

I'm probably totally projecting

This is probably my favorite quote of last year's bunch of interviews with Panda: "I don’t really have a problem with getting old - I know some people who are definitely resisting that process. I’m psyched to be an old guy, so maybe that makes it easier for me."

They're getting wiser and so their music.

I guess I just don't read them cursing all that much. It's pretty funny!

And yeah, Panda got that old spirit in him. It's gonna be so cute seeing pictures of them all silver haired and still dressing fashionably goofy in the future.

don't think this dude posts here so I'll chuck this here: a chiptune daily routine cover


usually I kind of yawn over chiptune covers but this guy seems to do them faithfully i.e. with the actual limitations of chiptune, rather than just slapping together some midi instruments. He's got a really cool moonjock cover on his channel too

found this today in a book called '101 Artists To Listen To Before You Die'. pretty cute! nice!

this is so good

Wicked find spectrum ...

that actually kinda has a nice tune to it

Hahah. Class.

Didn't I see somewhere recently that Avey was gonna be in an episode of Workaholics?

Lol where did you see that? That'd be cool. I'm looking forward to the next music video. What do you guys think it'll be for? My bet is on The Burglars

I hope it's spilling guts. Extended noise version like Catchy was Contagious. Avey and Panda being homicidal conjoined twins.

But that's so specific it's guaranteed it's not happening

Just got really into Arthur Russel, his things are insanly good.

I hear some strawberry jam vibe with use of noise in the background

My Girls got sampled by Beyonce on her new album. The song's called '6 Inch'. I can't listen yet but someone should give it a go. I'm pretty interested!

As in: anyone who has Tidal...

Unofficial Youtube link, probably getting taken down soon

I don't hear the sample, but part of the melody in the bridge is lifted from My Girls, including a line ending in "material things." So that's kind of cool.

Edit: and it's not credited as a sample in the first place. "THIS COMPOSITION EMBODIES PORTIONS OF “MY GIRLS” WRITTEN BY DAVID PORTNER, NOAH LENNOX, AND BRIAN WEITZ." Then the samples are listed separately.

Yeah just heard it man, youre totally right. No sample as such. But yeah i don't mind the track. 'Too smart to crave material things' is the borrowed melody

how much $ you think that gets em?

this is a Weeknd collab too? they gonna be stackin money money everywhere they go...

it is so unrecognizable though, i would have been surprised if AC would ever have made an issue of it if it was uncredited. guess ppl are being more careful these days.

good for the collective tho!

Next page'd, but it's more of an interpolation than a sample:

Holy shit

It must've been a situation where even though it was super mild, the songwriter knew they'd accidentally lifted a few notes + "material things" from My Girls and figured it'd be safer to put it out there now rather than risk a multimillion dollar lawsuit w/ my boys later on.

I hope they got some good cheddar outta this

I assume the cheddar comes with the sales and streams? That's how royalties work mostly right??? I could be way off


so basically if you like the song and you want them to get money for it then buy the fucking song or stream it legally somewhere, you can't leave it up to someone else

Depends. Might be a lump pay off.

Don't listen to this shit til the payment plan is confirmed.

who cares, listen to if you're curious

Happy birthday to Avey!

umm why is it reported that the new beyonce tracked is sampled or "embodies portions of My Girls"?? it was just that one line of not craving for material things. that's it lol

http://pitchfork.com/news/65028-beyonce ... on-6-inch/

It was an accident and they credited AC to cover their backs, it seems

Fair play tbh

Happy birthday Avey, thanks for changing my life and everything.

Woulda been cooler if they accidentally ripped off visiting friends or runnin the round ball or something

Haha yeah.

Beyonce bangs out one of the tracks.

Lots of head-nodding and pleased writers/producers in the studio.

Smiles all round. Talk of this album being something special.

Guy right at the back pipes up.

Sure that's just Slippi

lolllll

The band Rollercoasterwater wrote a song called "What Avey Tare Said." Pretty cool to see an Avey Tare referencing song out in the world. HBD DP!

sometimes i remember i'm as old as avey was when he was writing alvin row and then i feel sad about my life

Lol I know right

He'd already written about six albums worth of songs by the time he was my age now


Don't worry about it though dude, just do your thing. It's okay not to be on Avey Tare's level.

Did not know they were married, good for them. Hope that means they will make more albums together because the last Deradorian album was reaaaallly gooood.

Where are you getting that from?

From the youtube description of the video

Dave introduced us to his wife Angel Deradoorian and we sparked up conversation about everything ranging from their recent marriage to psychedelics and Dave started giving us all of this really intensely profound advice about life and what being a successful psychedelic musician in the current music industry is like.
