Video: Animal Collective - House (Coachella 2008)

The video shown above is Animal Collective playing a live version of "My Girls" at Coachella in 2009. ------------------------------ -------------------- This year's Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival might have a mogul - rap patriarch Jay-Z - on the marquee, but the lineup is still a model for recessionary times. Nothing on the roster announced this morning feels like a coup or a matter of huge debate. There's no baby boomer icon to fluster Generation X purists, and no surprise post-punk reunion (Pavement announced its reformation last fall) to fulfill the dreams of the same crowd. [...]

The 2009 Coachella music festival kicks off today in Indio, California. You can check out the set times at their site . I'm personally drooling over Sunday (a bit of which you can see above). Highlights of today (4/17) include Leonard Cohen , Paul McCartney , Morrissey , Beirut , The Black Keys , Genghis Tron , Girl Talk , Patton & Rahzel , The Hold Steady , The Bug , and A Place to Bury Strangers . You can watch some [...]

Would this picture had different effect if the jam was actually blood? I don't mean to seem like I care about material things like a social status I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls +/- I am yet to listen to Merriweather Post Pavilion therefore I cannot wager others impressions on Animal Collective. The album had emerge before Christmas 2008 to the world, so unless you're an absolute skeptic and nonconformist listener or just sheds away from popular [...]

• Animal Collective - In the Flowers

Here is a track from Animal Collective that is currently sending bloggers the world over absolutely crazy. I am in full agreement with the hype, as this track is definitely something special. It's more poppy that the last record, but sound as if the band have brought together alot of their previous experimentation into a more focused song. Pitchfork have already given Merriweather Post Pavilion , which this is from, a 9.6! Big praise from the 'fork, so keep your ears peeled! Animal Collective - "My Girls"

This image has been memorized onto my retinas for the past few months. This album cover will be burned into our memories as one of the best albums to be released in 2009 and probably one of the most inventive albums in a long long while. Animal Collective's album is due to drop in less than two weeks but music bloggers everywhere have pretty much been looping this for months now. I've read a lot of reviews, most of which are good, especially P4K's 9.6 review on MPP. [...]

• Frankie Knuckles vs Animal Collective - Your Love My Girls

This is really one of my first You Should Be Listening To with an artist who's been as well established as Animal Collective , but you really should be listening to them. Yesterday marked the release of the newest album Merriweather Post Pavilion was released (available via Domino Records ) to a mind-blowing amount of positive reviews - especially from Pitchfork . The album will not be available for purchase in the States, unfortunately, until January 20th, so for the next thirteen days we'll just have to do with their incredible [...]

Happy 2009 everybody! Hope your New Years was as insane as mine. Let me take a quick minute to handle some site business before I start talking music again. First of all, in my last post of 2008, I promised a couple things to you. First, that there'd be a site redesign. That's something I'm currently working on, and it's a little buggy at the moment so I'm not gonna launch it until everything's perfect. It might be a few weeks. Secondly, I promised there'll be new segments this year. This is also true, but I'm not going to debut [...]

Animal Collective es de esas bandas que se aman o se odian. Su estilo alternativo definitivamente no es para todos los oídos y su nueva canción, llamada "My Girls" , no es la excepción. Este nuevo tema que pueden ver en el video interpretado en vivo en el Coachella. En la canción se puede escuchar algunas frases realmente interesantes que forman parte de la letra de la canción: "I don't mean to seem like I care about / material things like a social status / I just want [...]

My Girls pertence ao novo disco dos Animal Collective, Merriweather Post Pavilion, que tem vindo a rodar em concertos.

We've heard the Merriweather Post Pavilion version of " Brother Sport ." Now, as the Pavilion leaks, it's time for "My Girls"'s shimmering, windblown group harmonies about not needing much: "I don't mean to seem like I care about / material things like a social status / I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls." For now you can hear at icantfly (via You Ain't No Picasso ). We'd listened to a snippet of the track earlier; this time, make sure to keep your ears peeled for the [...]

Songs from Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion are slowly hitting the net and the reaction is overwhelmingly positive from what I've gathered. At least, it's positive so far from YANP. "My Girls" starts off well enough, but really takes flight about 1/3 of the way into the track. This is one of those songs that [...]

When State initially calls Noah Lennox aka Panda Bear at his home in Lisbon, Portugal, we get a confused Portugese granny on the other end. Despite the language barrier, it's obvious she is anything but happy that we have rudely interrupted her. Wrong number. We ring it twice. Oops. The next day we finally get hold of the correct phone number and Noah is only too happy (if a little shy) to talk to us. First, an explanation of a typical Animal Collective live show: Even for an AC enthusiast, seeing the [...]

The AT&T Blue Room provided plenty of opportunities for homebound music fans to either enjoy highlights from this weekend's Coachella ...
