Hooray? Personally, I am extremely excited for his upcoming album, Tomboy, but this doesn’t really give too much insight as to how that is going to sound. Definitely feel like it will be an album that doesn’t translate well to live performances. Oh well. [Via Stereogum]              February 21, 2010
They’re human! The exact date of this is unknown, but this is three of the four members of Animal Collective at a much younger age. From left to right; Avey Tare, random, Panda Bear, Deakin. Closing Tentacles:

Tonight, I’m going to own the night. I’m gonna’ be runnin this town alright! Earlier this morning I was listening to my iPod Nano on full blast, becuz my parents were being SO ANNOYING and I had to drown them outz, and after the fifth time I listened to “Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas on repeat I had an epiphany like you see in the movies all the time! (FYI: That last link was for the grownupz! Trying to appeal to everyone to get more viralz.) My epiphany, that was superz awesomez by the way, was that I need to be more of an individual! I need to be more like Bella Swan. Even though she had a lot of friends, she always stuck true to herself and to her heart and that is why Edward lovez her so much! She may just be a lamb but she’s her own lamb! So that is why I’ve decided to completely revamp myself. Total makeover! As soon as I had reached my epiphany, I ran over to what was formally named Jonas (I named my laptop Jonas, like a mainstream loser!) and searched the internet for my new self. After literally yearz of searching, I finally found the new me. It’s called The Animal Collectives.  The Animal Collectives I immediately bought all of their mp3s on my iTunes and was immediately singing along to their catchy tunes which I blasted on the speakers my parents gave me this last Christmas. My little brother ended up trezzpazzing into the room to ask what “that awful noise” was, and I told him he needed to SHUTUP. He just didn’t get it. Some people are so DUMB sometimes. So after my annoying brother finally left what is supposed to be my private room to express myself, I went back to the internet on The Geologist (I renamed my laptop) to find something I could wear while being my new self. Something that was really me. You know? And then…drumroll please…I found it. Or should I say, them? LOL! Continue reading… January 8, 2010
Pretty AnCo typical music video. Not entirely sure why this video is coming out a whole year after MPP was released, but that also seems to be pretty typical for them. January 1, 2010
So even though we are still just little children when it comes to knowing things and what not, we decided to be audacious enough to create a best of the decade list! Yeah! Excitement! Also we are very aware (more aware than you will ever know you will find out just how aware we are in the future when they create mind reading devices, as long as this happens before 2012) that every other end of decade list has already surfaced and that we are the last ones to post. Well allow us to assure you that this was intentional! We thought it was ridiculous that the other sites had zero faith that something great would emerge in the last few days of December that could enter our lists, and so we waited and waited…until right now which is midnight 2:10 am! Turns out they were completely right and nothing great emerged as artists are smart enough to realize that all the lists were in and they would be forgotten forever, but wouldn’t those blogs have felt silly if things had happened otherwise! Yeah, so so silly. Anyways…! These choices were based on various criteria such as; quality, goodness, and quality. We spent a great deal of time in the laboratory coming up with the perfect lists, so you best treat them like gold. We have two lists two share with you, two readers. The first one will be done by a member of the Aesthetic Octopus radio show. The second one will have an identical format. They will both cover the title topic, “the best 25 albums of the decade.” Here they are…exclamation point. Continue reading… December 20, 2009
With Christmas and what not coming up, we’re going to give you all some gifs in the coming days. It’s probably the best gift you will ever receive! There you go! The list of albums included after the click-through… Continue reading… December 20, 2009
Our first ever year end list! Hooray! We made it all the way to the end of our first year (I am saying this even though we only started a matter of months ago!) of blogging and radioing. Yes. True. Statements of congratulation all around, for us. Anyways, as we are new at this and still extremely incompetent in all fields (creativity, writing ability, creative writing ability) we are going to keep it simple. Below we will list each of our favorite three albums, our favorite television show, and our favorite lady all from the last year with no explanation at all. This is probably for the best anyways, as no one really reads the reasonings so why spend time writing them? All the readers are all like, “The Pitchforked gave this band a 9.2, alright they good.” That is what they are definitely like. So here they are… Continue reading… |
