Unless y'all are planning to send yr resumes to Pitchfork, I suggest we bury these fucking Let's Massacre A Band threads and pretend they never happened. Who's with me?

hahaha, what board have you been on? pretty much every thread where someone big ups a band, it degenerates into the exact same thing. "well i like them" vs. "well you are twat if you do". i think its funny to approach it from the other side. even though it ends up being the exact same fucking thing.

just cause i don't post my opinion on every little fucking thing that cames up doesn't i dont see the threads. usually i just have nothing to add to them. ive been on this since 2002 (i think). not that i feel like i have to prove anything to you sir. but really, message boards are not about being the bigger man. its about finding out new shit and arguing and agreeing. say someone says. oh animal collective is just a fucking rip-off this band. then if you didnt know that band, you can ck. em out and figure it out for yourself. its still constructive. c'mon buddy. theres been fighting forever. remember the khchris and atari fights. classic stuff.

Panda Bear is probably the most tolerable of the bunch. Their popularity is certainly a phenomenon.

Terminal Boredom has the most hilarious AC hate on the entire interwebz.

Also on the same forum I found hilarious the wavves-bashing threads with many pictures of dogs surfing.

TB has turned me on to some awesome shit, including stuff right in my backyard that I had no idea about... but there's also a general conservatism/bias towards a certain type of guitar music that is very American. I think it might be a generational/geographical thing as a lot of them are older and from the Midwest.

Genteel Death · 02.28.2010, 10:55 PM

Yeah, there are times when I can't be bothered with much of their drug-talking, baseball-watching punk rockers. Generally I like it as a forum, even though there are a number of posters on there who clearly have a massive chip on the shouler when it comes to music that isn't american. All in all is a very good forum, though.

I had never heard of ac until merryweather came out, and that album kind of blew me away. These days i listen to strawberry jam more, but mpp has some beautiful moments.
Looking forward to the new album too. I've only heard Today is Supernatural (or whatever its called) and i really liked that

dressedindreams · 08.20.2012, 10:28 AM

new album rules.

Im not ashamed of my animal collective fandom, and in fact I'm surprised more people around here don't like them, at least some of their stuff

YES.

noisereductions · 08.24.2012, 07:24 PM

I'm definitely a fan. Except Dance Manate. I hate that album. But the rest, I love.

prospect hummer was completely perfect and forest gospel is one of my favorite songs of all time but they haven't released anything more than tolerable since then

hypertonic · 08.28.2012, 02:06 PM

I'd say I'm now down to only 70% fandom...

I did get the opportunity to see them at an absolutely great point... 2007 in St. Louis in a basement classroom at Washington University. I live a few hours away, and convinced a friend to try to make it up there last minute. We barely made it in, as it was pretty small and packed... was pretty much already oversold... Tickley Feather was neat opener and AnCo had the sick skeleton backstage setup with glowing eyes and shit...

It was LOUD AS FUCK. I stood a couple feet in front of Panda Bear the whole show while my older techno DJ friend stood in back (big mistake as he later realized it was so loud it actually damaged his ear). AnCo were using the college hallways and resonance as a natural reverb chamber. It was sick. They would ramp up the volume or use vocal sounds to project and you could hear it echoing through the building. It was great. They were loaded. So the fuck what. I posted before but I have the entire performance in 4gb file. The college recorded it pro style. Its on YouTube. The entire performance is very challenging to sit through.

At that point they played SJ stuff and some very early unfinished MPP stuff. For some reason I don't listen to them as much anymore. It just doesn't come to mind. (Maybe I subconsciously assoc them with my ex-girlfriend)

I do prefer their Sung Tongs, and Danse Manatee/Spirit albums. I think if they returned to a more basic album approach they might still have some decent albums I could get into. Dont have to ditch the electronics, but I think their "spirit" comes through more clearly with organic arrangements.

Cobwebs is probably one of my favorite songs.
