Theis knows Engrish better than a lot of Americans.

Fall Be Kind Ep is mind blowing amazing.

I can't find the post where someone recommended me Deerhunter (after I mentioned I liked AC), and yes, it is a nice listen! Very weird, but very rewarding.

Thanks, man

I was seriously born in the wrong country. I prefer to speak English than Danish, haha.

I know what you mean. Me and some of my friends usually talk in english (lithuanian is limited sometimes, when it comes to expressions)

Animal Collective - Live @ The Gargoyle (2007-09-24)

loving this show. before strawberry jam was released they were already blasting merriweather-material. also, listen to that who can win a rabbit-rework. totally rad!

[lostpilot]

I kinda dislike their latest live shows.. the song don't really sound that good, but I'll check this latorz

I completely burned myself out on Animal Collective.  I can't even listen to them anymore without getting irritated/bored.

[theis]

I don't get this music. I simply don't. It's like the epitome of hipster music.

[lostpilot]

I can see some serious business emerging right here

[raynor]

Well, for the most part they're quite terrible live, yes. To much "heys" and "ooohohhs". But that rework is hella yummy.

ben: a shame.

theis: have you heard an album?

Here's an Fall Be Kind-era live, can't remember if I've already posted this or not:

That's really the best one I've seen with them.

Why don't you listen to Local Natives or something, they sound like AC but are much better in my opinion.

[raynor]

never heard em, but alright

[There Will Be Blood]

I love this band

Downloaded their discography to find out what the fuzz was about. Couldn't get through a single one of their albums.

not sure if I would go that far, but they really should be checked out by more people here.

Give them another chance man!  I also used to hate them but kept playing their shit and one day it hit me.  They truly are spectacular, but I have to be in the right mood to listen to them. Merriweather Post is one of the most incredible albums ever created IMO.  But its definitely not everyday listening.   I also really enjoyed them when I saw them live.  They can't recreate their music exactly, but they do a pretty legit job.  But I do understand that their music isn't for everyone....

Panda Bear is also great!  Hopefully I'll be seeing them when their new album comes out later this year.

Last year they released ODDSAC, Avey Tare released a solo album and Panda Bears Tomboy just came out. They started rehearsing again in January and played their first show couple of days ago where they play 10 new songs. Fuck I love this awesome band.
