my animal home
dark told me to post this, or blog this. i am an internet nerd now.
"my brethren,
i saw the animal collective last night and it was pretty awesome. the environment was poor- it was in an art gallery with some stupid shit for art, it was crammed with 500 people and therefore hot, the beer line was too long to even consider, and people were jabbering during the quieter parts. Nevertheless, they prevailed. They had the geologist and another dude (perhaps Deaken) in tow, and started low key and droney and noisey and then built it up to a frenzy for the last few songs. They are fucking crazy. Jumping around and dancing and whooping and hollering. It was a spectacle.
They had two electric guitars (avey tare and the other dude), a couple drums (panda bear) and the geologist was fucking with everything through his mixing board thing. He wore a miner's light on his head so he could see the knobs. They only played one song from sung tongs (kids on holiday- insane style), and the rest were new i assume. I read in an interview that they only play new unrecorded songs for the most part. panda bear didn't sing very much unfortunately, but i did pick up his solo album which is good so far. Sort of like Campfire Songs, nothing like Here Comes the Indian.
will sabiston's band opened the show. they're like Nipples For Days with better equipment and structure.
Comets On Fire was next. Psychedelic soloing nonstop with psychedelic screaming on top at times. Sounds like the France if OJ had his way (ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh).
Black Dice were last and got shut down by the cops. They had already almost emptied the joint anyway.
Anyway, write me with any questions you might have.
SA"
