I have a 45 minute cdr of crickets chirping and me mumbling into a dictaphone. Will that work?

There is a legend in Burma stating that swarms of male dragonflies gather to join in choruses of high-pitched tones to court their mates. The ones that don’t succeed in mating eventually scream so loud that their chests explode and they drop dead to the ground. These recordings are a tribute to this legend. Droning cicadas, dragonflies and other insects display their charm as masters of the High Frequency Airwaves recorded live and unprocessed by Tucker Martine in the lush settings of Laos, Thailand, and Burma. Enter the supernatural world where Entomology and Electronica converge in a tropical hallucination of alien sound. Anyone who’s ever wondered if these strange symphonies could be recorded or preserved AS precisely as they sound in the field need look no further! Martine has done it and you will be transported to the exact experience one would encounter in these mysterious lowlands. Liner notes by Hakim Bey!

i'll go ahead and take this thread seriously since i do in fact deify animal collective and follow them very closely. but we'll go ahead and put non-album stuff only since apparently 5 albums aren't enough to anthologize

1. live at wfmu
2. kids on holiday (live on the bbc)
3. baby day
4. live, may 5 2003 (better than sung tongs, i think...maybe)
5. first 20 minutes, last 4 minutes of VPRO show
6. forest children risen
7. avey tare, "crumbling land"
8. in the city that reads (on arto lindsay's album)

this will probably change by tomorrow when they play a bunch of unreleased stuff on WNYX

― naturemorte, Friday, 30 July 2004 06:31 (twenty-one years ago)

wnyc rather

― naturemorte, Friday, 30 July 2004 06:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't deify them. I was just wondering how AC fans would put their fave AC songs in a specific order. I'm starting to enjoy some of their music.

― Salvador Saca (Mr. Xolotl), Friday, 30 July 2004 06:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe I should have titled the thread differently. I just want a CDr suggestion, that's all.

― Salvador Saca (Mr. Xolotl), Friday, 30 July 2004 06:41 (twenty-one years ago)

i think you should just buy an album of theirs.

― fizzcaraldo (Justin M), Friday, 30 July 2004 07:05 (twenty-one years ago)

seriously? is someone going to record this?!

also:

2. kids on holiday (live on the bbc)

is this on slsk? i think it's the only thing on your list that i don't have.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 30 July 2004 08:04 (twenty-one years ago)

there's a live performance of Avey Tare & Panda Bear on KVRX's site. www.kvrx.org/locallive. Two are on Sung Tongs, and one unrealeased track.

― dandywar, Friday, 30 July 2004 18:26 (twenty-one years ago)

the wnyc show will be online for you to listen to

― Magic City (ano ano), Friday, 30 July 2004 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

naturemorte what is the VPRO show?

― Magic City (ano ano), Friday, 30 July 2004 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

the animal collective show in holland can be listened to at:

http://3voor12.vpro.nl/3voor12/groups/index.jsp?groups=16081086

there's one major screwup near the end but i think it's rather endearing.

the bbc session was broadcast in june. it's no longer available on the website...i made a cd of it but i can't put it on my computer, sadly, though i may try on someone else's so as to share it.
there are also three live songs on the "breezeblock" show with mum (with the most annoying announcer i've ever heard) which are floating around online but which for some reason i can never completely download. one of them is an unreleased track.

― naturemorte, Friday, 30 July 2004 19:09 (twenty-one years ago)

eleven months pass...

I was gonna do a POX on this but here we go:

Leaf House
Prospect Hummer
Who Could Win A Rabbit
Baby Day
We Tigers
Winter's Love
Two Corvettes
Kids On Holiday
De Soto De Son
Young Prayer Track 2

Yeh, so it's heavy on the Sung Tongs side, but that is my favourite album.

― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 28 July 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

this is just a dumb idea. not to sound rockist, but animal collective make albums, with their own distinct sounds and moods. their songs just wouldn't work nearly as well outside the context of their albums, particularly the stuff from campfire songs, here comes the indian, and danse manatee.

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Thursday, 28 July 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

ha, just wait until you hear "banshee chaser" off their next album.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 28 July 2005 22:34 (twenty years ago)

one month passes...

Okay, rather than have a new thread, Animal Collective: Pick Only Five.

I'm particularly interested in hearing what peoples picks are from the pre-Sung Tongs era as I'm TRYING to get into Here Comes The Indian and not quite grasping it. Oh, and side projects like Jane and Panda Bear and Terrestrial Tones are welcome.
