Pick one. Y'all so inconsistent. Releasing on the format doesn't bother you but releasing on the format somehow equals a fetishism for the medium? I love Jack White, but you'll note the Domino exclusive isn't colored, doesn't have any goofy shit, or anything like that, right? It isn't a fetishist release: its a limited vinyl only.

You gotta see that move with a degree of nuance:

Let's say hypothetically Noah gives a shit about the absurd hate he's been catching from this forum (and trust me, he doesn't). Why would he feel any sort of obligation to produce an artifact and release it in a widely egalitarian format? Why should he feel like he must do that? For you?

In the same way Noah doesn't give a shit about you, he also doesn't give a shit about me. But, Noah does give a shit about making and releasing music on his terms, and for this release, these are his terms. You've probably already decided you aren't going to like the music, and you've had a record player for 20 years, so why the FUCK do you care that it is a vinyl-exclusive release?

Do you hate Kanye or Jay Z for their TIDAL only releases? How about Frank Ocean for Apple Music? Or Taylor Swift for her deal? I think probably folks just want to be happy Panda is making new music and try to talk about it. Go piss elsewhere.

Aye they're all shite mate, all shite. I've had a turntable because some amazing house music was only ever released on vinyl because it was underground shit. Panda Bear is not that. He's music to listen to when you're buying a fuckin condo.

This fandom is really disappointing me in 2017. i don't get a lot of you guys, so many of us have been here for years and some of y'all still confuse me. you like ac because they're weird and shit and then you all get so upset when they... do something a little weird. I'm getting flashbacks to when entitled kids on this forum got their pants in a bunch because painting with was debuted at the baltimore airport because some people heard it that day and OMG SOME PEOPLE COULDNT GO TO THE AIRPORT AND HEAR IT. I HATE YOU AC. HOW DARE YOU. DO YOU HATE YOUR FANS???? I still can't believe how mad some people were that day and some of the shitty things they said about the members of the band in the wake of that. And I can't believe how mad people are today. What is your fetish about owning a physical copy? I literally see no reason to care about the vinyl-only release aside from entitlement. and anyway, it should be plenty obvious that we'll all hear it, and probably VERY soon after release. There will be a vinyl rip the day of release from one of us, bet. And anyway the wax will only gather dust on your shelves 11 months out of the year. I feel like this forum is losing its communal/thankful/thoughtful nature and trading it for reactionism and delusions that y'all are actually in the band and can influence the members' decisions. Personally I thought the airport roll-out of PW was thoughtful and cool. I don't have any real opinion on the vinyl-only release other than that it's fine. As for the nature of the music itself, I am excited and getting really strong spacemen 3 vibes and lots of feelings from the more dubby side of primal scream. And Stan...................... smoke a bowl or something because you're going full "old man yells at cloud" and your posts are becoming white noise. we know your opinion, we don't need it 20 times on one page

Vinyl only releases are bad for fans because of scalpers. That's just about it. It's not hard to understand. Some clown who does not care about Mr. Lennox's music will sell this on eBay or discogs for 50 dollars above the list price. It keeps music away from fans.

I don't agree with the notion that it keeps music away from fans but I get the sentiment and I understand feeling that way. My feeling is that we only need one person to buy the album and rip it, then everyone has it. I don't really care who else has the copies.

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 5:17 pm**

I'm willing to bet one of the intentions behind the vinyl only release is the community interaction of sharing the rips among one another and having the album floating through digital space like that. In a big way we (and fan-to-fan interaction) are gonna be the distribution vector for this EP. It's possible that places like this forum and reddit were at the forefront of panda's mind when choosing that route, which makes it all the more confusing that people are taking the release to mean he doesn't care about fans hearing the album.

yeah, but dude, your recent posts have been the worst. i honestly can't tell whether or not it's performance art. also, flavoradi is a consistent awful poster. always contentious, always at odds, always mildly informed, always unwelcome. in my mildly contentious, mildly at odds, mildly informed, and mildly unwelcome opinion, at least.

also, there's rarely been a community here. just a bunch of assholes calling a bunch of other assholes assholes.

Anyways ya really excited to hear how the vocals are on this. He has mentioned the production is pretty bare bones. I'm predicting really dry vocals, driest he's ever done, maybe fucked up every now and then like he did at DD.

so weird how at odds we can be with people we likely relate directly to. is this just everyone really needing to get their opinion in/out? is it everyone coming up with an opinion so they can state it? like, what is it? apart from the music it all seems so banal and boring.

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 9:29 pm**

everyone,

this is the boring kinda conversation that just leads u running in circles.

sincerely,

bored

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 9:31 pm**

lol man i previously "love" stan, but low key fuck you, this has gotten ridiculous, its like 3 pages of negativity like good lord... its just weird cuz during all of pbvsgr we were like this:

https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/happy-p ... 077227.jpg

https://previews.123rf.com/images/kurha ... -Photo.jpg

can we go back to that? it was like slightly less positive during PW but still not like this (tho the last 3 months after the Bathroom FLAC freebird did actually get dark, just more desperate than like negative tho)

come on guys. lets be like a stock photo of shiny happy people again. for panda. or if not panda, then for deakin/geo

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 9:33 pm**

death to edge-lords and excess negativity but also death to censorship and feeling that complainers should be "silenced" but also like ya they should shut up a little more than they are complaining? its tricky but also not that tricky to not be totally lame

yeah, i agree with this. sorry for my contributions in the wrong direction. i'll continue reading for the gems.

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 9:46 pm**

Hah I wasn't being completely serious. I just thought it was kind of funny to call people out that aren't Stan. I mean this whole page is about him. Can we dedicate the next few pages to other people we don't like?

But yeah, I don't get the fucking point of talking about the vinyl thing anymore. Like I said, people will find a way to listen to it and most of the people complaining can listen to it on vinyl. So what exactly is the point in fighting this battle? I would give no shits if it was a vinyl only release and I didn't have a record player. I would find a way to get both physical and digital copies. Just Google "download new Panda Bear ep" ffs

And next post about this will be talking about how elitist it is to only release on vinyl... I already see it

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 9:53 pm**

hey guys, have you heard of the new panda bear EP ? I found some bootleg of a live show he did, the songs sounds tight !

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 9:55 pm**

the YCCOM is so good too, those alternate harmonies. i have trouble making it all the way to crosswords in the dd boot

i'll agree i didn't contribute anything positive. no hard feelings, i hope. stoked on the new album. already pre-ordered. already own a record player. everyone is welcome over to listen. even people i don't particularly care for. peace.

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 9:57 pm**

I, for one, think the DD boot is on par with Greaper boots. It's special. Still trying to get Shepard Tone to click though

Need to stop listening and cleanse my palate soon though lol

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 10:16 pm**

yeah this time I don"t want to create, in my mind, things that are not really in the songs (like I did with GR). I listened to the boots 2 or 3 times, really liked it. Now I wait and check this thread 4 times a day, because I love the hype building on this forum. I hate it in the media and all. But here it so fun and stupid (in a good way).

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 10:26 pm**

I guess in theory the live versions should be pretty similar to the studio versions this time around since the EP was already recorded a while ago, but no way to know for sure
Some ppl who were at Desert Daze posted saying the songs had massive amounts of bass so I hope that comes across on the record too

Hyped for this - the production is going to be mad i reckon, bassy mono(ish) mix is so dub, this whole thing gonna have warmth.... gonna bang. HYPE!! 20 bucks is nothing for limited edition art piece, you can't buy a print for this price, its crazy, everyone should just buy it for that alone, its the cost of a couple of drinks AND you get amazing music from our fav artist too..... Put the cover up on your wall you cheap bastards, support creative artists!
ANyone seen that Melvins doco where Buzzo talks about their philosophy of limited vinyl? His partner is a visual artist who hand presses the covers and art, (they base it on a Funko-pop figurine business model i think he says

)

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2017 11:59 pm**

regardless of whether you're for or against it, i think everyone is arguing about the vinyl only quality of the EP because it is an interesting aspect, & possibly the most interesting aspect, of this upcoming release.

i mean, that's kinda stating the obvious, but yeah, it means that i've been appreciating all the opinions and i'm not mad that everyone is stating their piece. it's all valid.

if we were to take a moment to imagine Panda had not stated that this was a vinyl only release. we'd probably be discussing the music and nothing much else. but there isn't a huge amount to discuss. 5 or so songs, we've probably heard them all so nothing unheard to anticipate, no wild new direction in sound, overall solid sounding bootleg, i dunno, it's all pretty mild in the lead up, to be honest.

so yeah in conclusion the songs sound pretty cool and as a dedicated fan of this band and their output, i'm looking forward to hearing this release. lol. go Panda

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2017 12:08 am**

I am totally excited for boots and/or official soundboard recordings from this era. I would love it if PB decided to put out a nice Live release like 9:30. I would snag that up in a heartbeat and buy an extra copy for my cat.

DD is great and reminds me of when all we had from new Panda was the All tomorrows party recording boot for like 6 months. Then he started tour and we got better boots and better shows. It was fantastic.

This band/solo members live stuff is just so amazing and make perfect complements to the studio stuff. Can't wait for more.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2017 1:36 am**

My bold prediction is that some people will like the EP, but also there will be some people who don't like the EP.

[performance art / somebody has to be sonic boom until sonic boom returns / not gonna write serious posts to un-serious posters]

but anyway, I'll peel back the psuedo-edgelord / psuedo-morality policing veneer and take it back to the weeks/months that followed the ATP boot and just gush with joy and wonder for new Peanut Butter. I too pre-ordered this EP and will 1000% host a listening party for any CA friends in the Detroit Metro Area.

I wonder if folks are interested or have been trying to analyze the lyrics on twitter vs/in comp to PB's memo. I'll admit, on first read I sort of rolled my eyes at the memo, but I'm definitely curious to hear what people think it "means" or what it might suggest about the music to come?

I'm definitely expecting something radically different, even though the (shitty youtube videos) desert daze stuff isn't too radical. idk, do other folks feel this way?

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2017 3:45 pm**

have people who think the boots sound bad listened to the second version? i think it's super listenable, certainly on par with the ATP boot

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2017 3:53 pm**

I think I only heard the iPhone boot. I will check it. Thanks for letting us know jfw7!

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2017 3:58 pm**

Yeah, that second one definitely sounds fine. Since the music itself is clearer, im definitely left feeling a little like i want more happening in the music. at parts of this it honestly just doesnt sound interesting enough, which i guess is a significant criticism for a member of AC

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2017 3:19 pm**

i hear you, tdegenaro. i'd just like to say it was not my intention to put myself above others in any kind of 'pseudo moral' way. and i definitely am not trying to police anyone.

i guess i was just trying to communicate how i felt about the way some people were talking to each other on here. somehow. whatever.

this is a fan forum for a group of dudes whose music has engendered so much positivity in my life. so it sucks when people get weird/rude/touchy. but, we all human, i ain't crying over here

PS. if you live stream that listening party, i will fucking be there

Interesting tidbit about the "open your eyes" sample on Part of the Math - someone on the subreddit talked to Panda yesterday and he said he couldn't clear the sample with Nintendo so it's actually a sample of his daughter saying that. Could've fooled me
