Animal Collective is playing Bonnaroo this year, but they are playing a short set in the middle of the day against other acts I want to see, so I decided to make the trek down to St. Pete, Florida and catch a proper AnCo show. I got to the venue two hours before it opened and there was already a few people camping out. By the time they began letting people in, the lie was running around the block. The opener was Black Dice , and while I was excited to check them out, I was [...]
Ahh, what a week! Aside from the week-o-shows (most of which I was unable to go to), I've been getting some great new tunes from random bands I've been talking with. By the way, the Animal Collective show last night was their best performance I've seen by far. I guess the third time's a charm. If they are within a 200 mile radius of your barrio, do yourself a huge favor and see them. Enjoy this week's mixtape, and your weekend! The Yolks - I Do What I Do Liechtenstein - Roses [...]
Here is a Japanese commercial that is way better than 99% of the commercials we have here. I don't even speak Japanese. And of course, Animal Collective. Listen for the 13 year old girls once they figure out what song it is. Also, I love seeing this little light off to the left wagging back and forth. Oh geologist. No one know what you do...
Kicking off my return with a two-day salute to DJ Turquoise Wisdom, who supported Animal Collective on their West Coast shows, including one for the books in a misty forest fairyland that appeared out of nowhere last Wednesday. I missed DJTW's early set, but the set he played between Grouper and Animal Collective was front-to-back sweet and filled with gentle freaky beautifulness. I hadn't heard any of the songs he played before, but thankfully those newfangled computer machines are easier to read than spinning records or hidden CDs. This tune obviously made an impression on more [...]
Se apropie vara, copiii se târăsc pe bancile şcolii în starea aia de latenţă tipică pre-vacanţa mare, studenţii îşi rod unghiile de stres, omii muncii se gândesc la căldura care urmează să o suporte. Iar băieţii de la Animal Collective îşi pun hainele de vară şi dansează haotic la Letterman în studio Foarte simpatic moşu' Our next guests are a critically acclamed musical group who's most recent album is entitled Merriweather Post [...]
I know the title of this post probably makes absolutely no sense, so let me try to explain. Today is kind of a crazy day for me in a few respects. It's my last official day at Google as a full-time employee, which might seem like something that could put a damper on the rest of the day for me, but it's being offset by tonight's Animal Collective show here at the Fox Theater in Oakland. I don't think I've ever been more anticipatory and excited for a band that [...]
In preparation to hit the town for a Friday night, a friend of mine from New York turned me onto the latest video from Animal Collective . Having been a fan for a while, I felt somewhat shameful that I had never seen this video for 'My Girls'. It amazes me how I continue to be impressed with music videos these days. This particular reel is a trip out that reminds me of the Wolfman Radio Show on Hilarious House Of Frightenstein. This is perhaps the most cross-genered, pop friendly track from [...]
It's been a long wait since the release of Merriweather Post Pavillion , since this show was announced, since the tickets went on sale. May the 20th seemed like it would never arrive, and as I spun everything from Spirit They Came to their newest live tracks, the prospect of seeing Animal Collective live seemed more myth than reality. But enough of the deification. The show has obviously come and gone, but the hype surrounding these guys both as a live act and on record is sure to stay. I got the [...]
These are probably some of the funniest, cutest, and most honest music reviews you'll ever see. The people over at Scrapple.tv run a weekly web TV show called Breakfast at Sulimay's . The show takes place inside a Philly diner. Every week, Bill, Ann, and Joe listen to some current artists and give us their honest, unadulterated opinions. I can't get enough of these. Why are they hating so much on Dan Deacon & Animal Collective? On a side note, Joe is the man. [See post to watch Flash video] [...]
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘SUMMERTIME CLOTHES' AVAILABLE ON JULY 7TH ON TOUR NOW “Summertime Clothes”, the second single taken from Animal Collective's universally acclaimed LP, Merriweather Post Pavilion, will be available July 7th in North America on 12” and digitally. “Summertime Clothes” is a deliriously warm and instantly infectious track. Pitchfork commented that the song “starts with an almost militaristic pomp, but soon reaches a place of pure sweetness with a simple chorus hook ("I want to walk around with you") that could have come from any point in the last 100 years [...]
Video: Animal Collective - "Summertime Clothes" (live on Letterman) I watched this on TV and I kept wondering whether or not that crunching sound that comes in after the first chrous was intentional. It sounded a lot more "broken" on...
![Animal Collective Performs “Summertime Clothes” on The Late Show with David Letterman [VIDEO]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1723752_lg.jpg)
Last Thursday, the guys of Animal Collective made a rare appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman . They performed "Summertime Clothes," which is a cut off of their latest album, Merriweather Post Pavilion , released back in January. I'm actually pretty surprised at how unusually normal looking they were for their performance. With their ecclectic style of experimental folk music, you would kind of expect them to be donning masks/capes/costumes/huge beards for their live set (see above) — but no, instead they chose to rock your standard hoodie. Interesting. Anyway, this song [...]
I have been meaning to post this for a few days. Animal Collective on David Letterman last week. Share This:
Here's the video from Animal Collective's second ever late night TV appearance (and debut on the Late Show With David Letterman ) from Thursday of last week. Animal Collective is currently in the midst of their North American tour and they will be appearing TONIGHT (May 11) at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. That show is SOLD OUT . [complete list of Animal Collective tour dates after the break] For their Letterman appearance Animal Collective performed "Summertime Clothes" from the [...]
This band is too weird for Letterman to handle. Animal Collective- Summertime Clothes
by charles poladian (white rabbits pic by andrew droz palermo) Kind of an eh weekend, no? Well, that shouldn't be too bad. Did you hear about this amazing show that went down on Thursday? It seemed like people were really into it and had a great time. All the bands did a stellar job and I hope I can do it again on a regular basis. We have a pretty cool mini-mix which includes The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Justice and N.A.S.A [...]
Great performance of Animal Collective playing "Summertime Clothes" on Letterman last night. I don't know what the hell is going on with the background dancers though. Anyway, Grizzly Bear will be performing on Letterman on May 20th, so get your DVR set. Merriweather Post Pavilion is out now on Domino .
Animal Collective made their Letterman debut last night playing the fantastic Summertime Clothes. They went the normal route this time, playing one of the fan favorites rather than one of their weirdest tracks (like when they played #1 on Conan). The performance was really great, pretty spot on if you ask me. I loved his vocals during the "When the sun goes down" part. The dancers were a bit bizarre. I wonder how this performance will help their popularity. I doubt they give a shit anyway. I will be seeing them in less than a week at Terminal [...]
Letterman was graced with a special guest last night when Animal Collective dropped by to play their smashing single " Summertime Clothes ." Quite appropriate, seeing how the most beautiful season is right around the corner. Anyway, their live performance was unexpectedly ... mediocre. Avey, Panda and Geo weren't at all in shape for some reason. They were just sitting behind their tablets, pressing a few buttons, while humming the harmonies. Then again, it's national TV and the band can't quite get wild and trippy like they do on regular live gigs. What's with those Halloween [...]
Animal Collective took to the Letterman stage last night to perform "Summertime Clothes". Here's the performance complete with dancers wearing sheets tearing it up behind them. We can't wait to catch them here in Austin at their SOLD OUT Stubb's show on June 5th! [ Animal Collective Myspace ] [ Animal Collective Official Site ] [ Animal Collective 2009 Tour Dates ]
