i've never listened to any of their cds, but when i saw them live w/black dice, they were pretty muddy (all instruments running throught one mixing board?) and, dare i say, boring

YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THEM WITH USSSSSSS

― sugarpants: new and improved! (sugarpants), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 20:26 (twenty years ago)

i am not a noize dood but ive seen them and yes they are boring

― charleston charge (chaki), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 20:58 (twenty years ago)

i know what jaxon means about the muddiness, but i still thought they were pretty compelling.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 21:04 (twenty years ago)

I think Animal Collective are mediocre.

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 21:05 (twenty years ago)

chaki is a noize dude

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 21:07 (twenty years ago)

animal collective are ok but their tour manager's band HOME is way better

― rasheed wallace (rasheed wallace), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 21:12 (twenty years ago)

HOME is GWEAT.

GYGAX LIVE FROM CRAPAN TO THREAD.

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 21:13 (twenty years ago)

i was with gygax when i saw animal collective and black dice. i think he thought they were boring also but it could have been due to some poisoning that he got from some bad Okonomiyaki

― [that bastard] jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

oh so roffley

i am not a noize dude but i have seen animal collective and they are boring as well as the twee-est hippy band ever.

― dan (dan), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 22:23 (twenty years ago)

barnum & bailey animal crackers are awesome.

animal collective are ok, they've got some good trracks but thats about it.

it's like $10, right? how entertained do you feel entitled to be for $10? they'll live up to it.

Spend the ten dollars on seeing Sin City again.

― Ian John50n (orion), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 02:10 (twenty years ago)

fuck a comic book movie

oh man i just fell asleep to prospect hummer

so boring!

― shit think, shit think, shit quick (deangulberry), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 02:16 (twenty years ago)

I like the Animal Collective and have enjoyed them every time I have seen them. I mean they're no Fagen and Becker but who has the time these days to mix something 237 or so times before being satisfied with the results or fix one bass note?

― jack cole (jackcole), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 02:29 (twenty years ago)

craptastic

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 04:04 (twenty years ago)

i saw them once last year, and it was a fantastic show. did i catch a one-off moment of brilliance?

home, on the other hand.. well.. nice people.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 09:50 (twenty years ago)

see, i knew chaki wasnt a noise dude!

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 10:21 (twenty years ago)

the times i saw em i thought they were enjoyable.

they rang more special when there was a fajillion or two less twee or hippie or nuweirdfolk animal yelper bands.

― msp (mspa), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 13:02 (twenty years ago)

Animal Collective have a good name. Makes me think of animal shaped crackers. That is all.

SO DOPE

― SMELLY MY... (Thor), Sunday, 1 May 2005 18:04 (twenty years ago)

THEY WERE GOOD. but their opening band was pretty horrendous.

― sugarpants: new and improved! (sugarpants), Monday, 2 May 2005 00:52 (twenty years ago)

were they called "ariel pink"

― Andre Dawson (deangulberry), Monday, 2 May 2005 01:48 (twenty years ago)

My friend who went to the Chicago show told me today that people booed these "ariel pinks", were shouting things like "get off the stage!", etc.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 2 May 2005 02:12 (twenty years ago)

yes, their name was the "ariel pink." they sound like a six-year-old girl named them.

I thought they were kinda cool. And Big Fresh ruled w/ teh cookies.

― SMELLY MY... (Thor), Monday, 2 May 2005 05:54 (twenty years ago)

I just couldn't tell what to think of them (Ariel Pink). That one dude that walked around in circles like a crazy homeless person looked like Colin Farrell with 80s hair. Plus it was hotter than balls and smelled like meat in there.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 2 May 2005 12:15 (twenty years ago)

He looked more like Russell Crowe than Colin Farrell. To be fair, the audience was much more accepting of Ariel Pink at this show than when they opened for Slint in Louisville.

― Zebra, Alpha Go! (cprek), Monday, 2 May 2005 12:34 (twenty years ago)

they opened for slint?!

― sugarpants: new and improved! (sugarpants), Monday, 2 May 2005 14:16 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah, never mind. i forgot about that. it's all coming together now.

If you have money or come from money you cannot make art. Raymond Roussel, Charles Ives and Wallace Stevens were all frauds.

"The Emperor of Ice-Cream"

Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal.
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Tim, I was being sarcastic.

― Leonard Thompson (Grodd), Monday, 2 May 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

Okay!

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 2 May 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Really, we could spend all day listing good artists who come from backgrounds of privilege.

― Leonard Thompson (Grodd), Monday, 2 May 2005 22:44 (twenty years ago)

Ariel Pink seems to have a pretty good sense of humor. Their set in lexington was echoey as hell.
Also I was 1 of about 3 people that didn't stand still w/ arms crossed during animal collective's primal jam.

― SMELLY MY... (Thor), Monday, 2 May 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

i spent a good part of the time trying to find a place to stand where i wouldn't be assaulted by someone's heinous b.o. a fruitless cause.
