This is so fucking funny and transported me back in time. Thank you for this

i remember when the BWI stream was going on and we were live in action on here.. I was freaking out walking inside a costco the day before thanksgiving not looking up from my phone once. great time.. golden gal made me a friend. those PW shows were absolutely phenomenal though.

pw shows were a blast. best moment was going to philly by myself and posting on here when alvin row started

What the hell?

The amazing fan-made track titles of pre-release material through the years still kick ass and had me thinking....

Thought experiment:
The Painting With bathroom tapes never happened. The album hasn't been announced and we don't have a track list or the names of any of the songs.

It's 2/21/16.
The boys just debuted a ton of new material, playing the new album in full over two nights in PA and NH. We need some sweet titles for all these new tracks.
Now I know a lot of the titles could be obvious, but it'd be more fun to get creative with 'em.

2/19/16 setlist
1. (Natural Selection)
2. (Hocus Pocus)
3. (The Burglars)
4. Loch Raven
5. Jimmy Mack
6. (Hounds of Bairro)
7. (Vertical)
8. Daily Routine
9. Alvin Row
10. (Bagels in Kiev)
11. (FloriDada)

2/20/16 setlist:

Apologies if this has been done before.
Also, it's a blast to go back and read the insanity surrounding the bathroom freebirds in the OG PW thread starting around page 53.

Natural Selection = Motor
Hocus Pocus = So Many Ways
Lying in the Grass = Swamp Equal
Spilling Guts = Call of Duty
Summing the Wretch = Crankin one out

Natural Selection = Motor
Hocus Pocus = So Many Ways
Lying in the Grass = Swamp Equal
Spilling Guts = Call of Duty
Summing the Wretch = Crankin one out

Natural Selection would definitely be “sneaky ways”
Recycling would be maybe “don’t care”

“Cease to Bleed” would also work for recycling and is a very “fan made AnCo” name

Hocus Pocus = Dinosaur Worry
Vertical = Parking Lot

Agreed I just wanted So Many Ways for Hocus Pocus

'Swamp Equal' rules.

Vertical - Tar Pit
Spilling Guts - Headshot
On Delay - ándale

Crankin one out

I expect I will never listen to this album again, think it was okay?

it's fun to listen to, i put it on in the car while rippin stogies and munchin hoagies

I put it on whenever I'm craving some classic Animal Collective tunes

i could see natch selection being "sneaky ways" and vertical just being vertical or maybe "parking lot". on dely would 100% be andale!!!

Summing the Wretch - Seesaw
Gnip Gnop - Pong

The first 3 songs of PW are God-tier but I always find myself switching to the Bandcamp live albums around 'Lying.' I probably know those versions better than the LP's. Those 3 live shows are endlessly listenable.

Amen! PW rules. I think it’s “up there” with their best.

This was my exposure to AC, it will likely always have a spot in my top 5 just for that, but on top of it the album is fucking amazing. No other band could write a song like recycling or lying in the grass

Love that they went so hard with a style that no band would dare try to rip off.

Fiery Furnaces must be pissed they didn't think of it first lol

Hahahah seriously... what to even call the style of pw

Yellow and Red Rubber Children’s Museum

Music to jump around in a ball pit in a kid's play place to.

I have seen AnCo live three times (I know it isn't much) and the Painting With tour was absolutely the best performance I had seen from them ever. Also, Loch Raven and Bees as dance tracks, as well as Pride and Fight (with altered lyrics "I don't need your HBO" I think) were amazing. Maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't Pride and Fight I swear Avey sang "I don't need your HBO" to the tune of Pride and Fight, unless it's some other rare gem from them.

Also, the stage presence, aesthetics and props on stage were the best I'd seen since their CHz Prospect Park show.

Don't crucify me for this because honestly I hated this meme when it was around....

Fanboy and Chum Chum Music.

Yeah I have mixed feelings on the album, it's probably my least favorite release of theirs if I had to pick, but they were on fire during those tours. Saw them at the 9:30 club in 2016, Gnip Gnop went so hard. And they did the most transcendent version of Loch Raven. Definitely one of the best shows I've seen them do.

Wait, was "bathroom tapes" when they premiered new songs on Baltimore airport speaker?

Colour-by-numbers hyperthymic pop or arts and crafts-core

Lol so PW is definitively their "kids album"

I love Painting With. It's MPP on sugar & crack
