I don't know the meaning.

All I can say is, I never had a problem w/ AC (having had a reasonably good impression based on what I'd heard--I believe this WAS "Feel-era", btw), but then I heard MPP and thought it was terrible and overrated...

That's not to say people who disagree are Pitchfork zombies, but I still didn't like it, and I think their gushing over it is ridiculous!

Merriweather definitely did not do it for me, aside from Brothersport, although I feel robbed because it was drastically shorter/different from the version I first heard.

AND ANOTHER BONE I HAVE TO PICK WITH AC:

Why did Panda have to make "Walkabout"significantly less good?

seriously. why can't you guys be into something cooler like Black Moth Super Rainbow or something that sounds better?

Dude i totally love black moth.

different kind of animal though.

the trick to AC is how much pot you've smoked prior to listening.

I absolutely hated it until i was stoned in my friends car and he played me leaf house.

than it was all

wait, was this ironic?

so AC is a drug thing okay gotcha. it still sounds like some A & Rs idea of what Phish & They Might Me Giants might do in the studio if you asked them to make a experimental hippie record w/ some Boss samplers.

Apparently the two main songwriters in AC are major Dead-heads.

I'm not a big fan of music that can't be appreciated/understood on all levels of conciousness.

I meant ironic because BMSR is pretty hip in a Pitchfork sense, because you don't seem to like that site very much.

Back on topic:

I know HEALTH said that AC were an pretty big influence on them, but...

i never said i hated Pitchfork. i actually used to read it. i mean i still do. i just don't actively read it anymore. i think Pitchfork must have just recently jumped on the BMSR bandwagon cuz when i used to read it, i cannot recall Pitchfork either reviewing or hyping BSMR.

the Pitchfork hype vs pandering thing. i've gotten used to it. & i ignore it. it is what it is...

i also think it is really unfortunate that Wizard could live in Philly & be into AC when there are so many more awesome bands & groups in that city doing way more awesome challenging weirder music than AC. i think that is really sad actually.

when did I say "weird"?

more "you like a band, and so you are lame?"

larf... my bad, MBT... That's what I get for quoting from a two-tier quote... I meant to quote the Wizzzzzz.

haha no worries

okay back on topic: Animal Collective. i wonder what type of gear they use beside those Roland SP-404 samplers.

Mixers, Mics, Strat, I saw one of their guitarists with on of those old Harmony guitars thats is now the Dano Dead On 69, I've read about them using a Juno 60 or something.

I don't take animal collective to seriously. I just enjoy some of the music they record. this latest ep has been an enjoyable listen so far at work, I haven't sat down with it yet with a critics ear and I probably never will. It works great for me as backround noise. They arrange some fun sounds..
