Collected Animals

I hope someone records the Earthworks doc

can we watch the animal collective viceland episode online?

There's plenty of sketchy websites that allow you to watch tv shows online.

Once the Earthworks episode goes online (probably tomorrow morning), I can pm a link

QUEEN IN MY PICTURES IN EARTHWORKS!

I met somebody from Maryland last night (in Rhode Island) who told me her old babysitter was Deakin. Little did she know she was talking to a top-tier fanboy. I geeked out a little bit. Interesting talking to somebody who just knew him as Josh on a personal level who didn't know too much about his work with AC.

Haha that's so cool





This Earthworks thing should be great

stretching songs for spring is soooooo good

Yall should join the "animal collective spiritposting" fb group. some real gold in there.
just watched a white dude with dreads and a peace sign t shirt cover Winters Love on hang drums with a phısh poster in the background

is phish filtered

lol. nice turkish i

philtered***

wanna take a moment to appreciate how fuckin good guys eyes is sounding on the pw/painters tour/s

i think the one i saw at rams head last november beats the 9:30 club 2009 version (pretty much the go-to for guys eyes imo)

I wanna do just what my body needs to

Aeriously killing this year

Guys eyes is to a point

Bless the collective

I just tried on my old turtleneck and was shocked at my uncanny resemblance to Piero Scaruffi

love dave in the pbvsgr shirt for the other music doc

Cute. I didn't realize they were making a doc, thats pretty awesome. i miss Other Music

What ever happened to sponge luke? whats the story with that song?

I've never heard it lol

I assume it went the same way as From a Beach, they just never recorded it

From a Beach? More like For the Bin am I right

Ice Cream Factory? More like, I Scream "Fuck This Track!"

ICF is my favorite song on ACB easily.

Someone in the Spiritposting fb group mentioned that AC seems to use the word "good" a lot in their lyrics, honestly never thought about that but seems kinda true. I guess the boys are just all about enjoying the good things in life

Been really into the 2004-2006 boots lately. I'm totally convinced its the "golden age" of their live shows now. The super loud and almost shoegazy Kids on Holiday from the late 2004 shows is god level. I also really love early Fireworks, with the extra beefy guitar sound. Just feeling so amazed by these dudes live prowess lately. It feels so redundant to say on an AC forum but they really are remarkable musicians lol

ja I saw that too...
I think I never had a problem with it because they always seem to use it when it strikes a sense of purity or almost otherworldliness or divinity?? maybe that's a bit much but I link their use of "good" is sort of spiritual. like absolute good rather than subjective good. Good house, Good lovin outside, Ahhh good country. maybe I'm putting too much weight on it. that's my thoughts tho

Yes roopn, totally feel u on that. Honestly had almost the exact same thought but wasn't sure how to articulate it. Their music has an overall quality of being channeled or otherworldly so I don't think you're off base at all. I think they're trying to get at something greater when they use the word good, so that guy who made the fb post kinda missed the point. Like the very first "gooooooooooooood" in Good Lovin Outside, it just effortlessly conveys such a particular feeling and spirit. Would be cool to sit down with all their lyrics and talk through how their songs articulate that idea of goodness. Someone should do a PhD thesis or something on it

and yeah demonclusters, Kids on Holiday from that era is unreal, I know some ppl have said before that that song should have been on Feels. Idk if I agree with that but it is such a crazy powerful track in that style. But yeah I can see the argument for 04-06 as "golden age", I could never pick just one era but that time period is a really cool blend of their early chaoticness and later poppiness

Would be cool to sit down with all their lyrics and talk through how their songs articulate that idea of goodness.

yah dude! might make a thread for this when I've got some more free time.

glad I wasn't way off with my good thoughts

how did they make that guitar tone in feels kids on holi?

hey does anyone know if this is available to buy somewhere? such a great track but soundcloud sux and I want to play it on my phone and computer offline

AC-FlyLo collab confirmed

For yalls nformation Animal Collective and Flying Lotus are guests on Hannibal Buress' handsome rambler podcast episode coming out this friday

Ah damn it's just the interview they did at Moogfest

Ah sorry guys

the 2009 versions of "Slippi," and "Chocolate Girl" and "Who Could Win A Rabbit" and "Fireworks" (and all the deep cuts!!!) are soooooo unbelievably good.

2009, AC was on top of the world. everything they touched was just magical

2009 was a really great fucking year

but side note and I know pretty random

but in the take pills video , there is some jibberish spoken sounding backwords

has anybody made anything out of that ?

I love animal collective

it's hard to decipher it with the woman vocalizing so loudly
