Collected Animals

Hello all, new in town.

For the past year or so I've been obsessed with the music AC likes and is inspired by. It's mostly a distraction and something to eat up my time while waiting for their music to come out. I realize creating a spreadsheet of this stuff will probably strike many of you as overkill. I'll take all the help I can get. Maybe we could figure out formatting and all that.

Isn't there a huge list of bands that the band stated they were influenced by on some website? Is that what you are talking about?

Yeah, it's the SPIN article. The Cenitpedia. I'm on my phone and too lazy to search for it.

Although I think that article might be focused specifically on those artists that influenced CHz...maybe? Either way still a pretty huge list of their influences.

that was it thanks victor.

That article casts a pretty wide net, including movies and non-musical stuff. Certainly don't think it's reason to abandon this, especially since there's plenty of stuff not included in the article.

This is a good idea, I've probably discovered more music thanks to AC than any other band and it'd be good to catalogue it all for newcomers.

I remember Noah saying he liked the album "Music and Dreams" by Robert Lester Folsom.

There's also the year-end guest lists they did for Pitchfork a couple of times.

That Robert Lester Folsom album is amazing too!

I think something that would be helpful would be looking up any records that Pavement also name-checked in interviews in the 90s, as AC has stated that they got into a lot of bands this way.

pretty weird imo

Todd Terje is liked by panda bear

To what degree should we qualify entries here? I think there are some artists (i.e. Black Dice, Madlib, Ariel Pink, Gang Gang Dance) where we can probably safely assume they like the entire catalog of. Where do we draw the line on inclusion?

thats up to you innit

who knows if they like the whole catalogue of anything if they havent specified. they could hate the new gang gang dace

araabmuzik's at the top of the list

remember loving this song so much when i read about this record in that interview

I bet they like that song from Frozen

the frozen song is pretty good actually

which song from frozen?

My sister just got the frozen ost cd for her birthday

There's the list of influences in the Person Pitch sleeve

someone dug up panda and dave's favs from the other music days a while back. all i remember is dave mentioning vashti bunyan (duh)

AVEY Other Music: From memory, haven't been able to find link for several weeks.

Eyvind Kang: The Story of Iceland
Outkast: Stankonia
Jay Z: Vol. III...The life and times of S. carter
Quasimoto: The Unseen
Vashti Bunyan: Just Another Diamond Day (Reissue)
Broadcast: The Noise Made By People

I'm still amazed when i read interviews with the band and it seems like they've listened to every goddamn record that's ever been released.

For all we know Geologist could be the world's biggest Slayer fan or something. We'll never know everything.

In that Eye interview they talk a little about being into black metal, burzum in particular.

I was next to dave and brian during the guided by voices set at pitchfork in 2011 and they sang along to every song.

not sure about slayer, but I know he's a Boris fan.

also pretty sure noah's on record saying he doesn't really listen to much music

^^^^^
This speaks to that. Also mad source for influences and shits.

I always find it extremely weird when a musician says they don't listen to much music.

In general I've found I prefer what Brian, Dave and Josh are into more than what Noah usually talks about (stuff like Actress, Gang Gang Dance, Basement Jaxx etc...).

Also The Residents seem to be a pretty noticeable influence, just looking at ODDSAC and some of the early stuff. Plus Josh talks about Duck Stab in that Spin article.

Also, do you have the source of where Dave talks about Disco Inferno?

haha Noah thinks Blink-182 are rowdy

Beach House was at their atp

who likes 'em? was it all political? fuck it, BH discography be on
