animal collective

i dont think anyone has ever claimed that their lyrics are any good

ILX wanked itself silly over My Girls' lyrics AIRC

ILX wanked itself silly over My Girls' lyrics AIRC

Because they almost make sense for a change?

AC are definitely a "vocals as instrument" band for me - sometimes the words trigger direct associations that enhance the song ("I remember learning how to dive", "open up your throat"), sometimes they're awful (the Avey Tare "sexy" songs), usually they're just sounds with little more symbolism than the yelpy bits that punctuate them. I say this as a massive AC fan btw.

^^

ya I am Animal Collective fan #1 but I think I'd be safe to give an Avey Tare poetry book a miss. I think there's some nice enough stuff on the past three albums (babies pooing aside), but prty sure that Leaf House isn't one they spent hours working through on the page before daring vocalise it.

All Tomorrow's Parties curated by Animal Collective
13th-15th May 2011 at Butlins Holiday Centre, Minehead
On Sale Friday 29th October from www.seetickets.com

We are very pleased to invite one of the most exciting indie success stories of the last decade to curate the only ATP festival weekend of May 2011. Animal Collective's last album Merriweather Post Pavilion was hailed with universal acclaim; 5 Stars from Uncut, 8/10 from NME and a 9.6 from Pitchfork, who also named it their album of the year and put it in their top 20 albums of the decade. ATP promoter Barry Hogan: "I always wondered what kind of mixtape Animal Collective would put together, so we are really stoked that they are climbing into the curating hot seat at Butlins next May where they will headline and curate the festival that includes the likes of Lee Scratch Perry and Gang Gang Dance from an already eclectic mix of 40+ acts."

The first announcements chosen by Animal Collective for the line-up are:

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE

was always expecting them as the inevitable curators and they are naturally doing an awesome job

this does look amazing actually.

yeah i mean whether you like AC or not, dudes have great taste

the return of dance music to atp!? O_O

Can I afford to go to ATP and Primavera in the same month, is the question...

vlad!!

animal collective awesome job, great taste

dire lineup except for meat puppets and group doueh

the other side of takeout is mildew on rice

lee perry will be performing his masterpiece "jamaican ET" in its entirety

OMAR-S performing Fabric 45

BROADCAST
OMAR-S
ZOMBY
VLADISLAV DELAY

everything else is terrible

prolly not the thread to express that viewpoint

ARIEL PINK'S HAUNTED GRAFFITI
BROADCAST

would be cool to see. i kind of like animal collective, too (or, at least, i bet they'd put on an interesting show). i love lee perry, but in 2010? and prince rama are an intriguing act to me.

you are a total dipshit if you think group doueh is terrible

brothers unconnected certainly worth checking out too

all middle eastern music is horrible, atonal, buzzing noise

also

i find two of the three intriguing, the other not so much

girl on left looks pensive.

would have intrigue with all these white girls

no j/k they are sorta doggish

all middle eastern music is horrible, atonal, buzzing noise

you laff, but last time anco uncovered some weirdo doofus all of indie rock sounded like him four years later so

If I could afford to go to this, would love to see:
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE
GANG GANG DANCE
ARIEL PINK'S HAUNTED GRAFFITI
BROADCAST
BLACK DICE
MEAT PUPPETS
THE FROGS
PRINCE RAMA
DERADOORIAN
ZOMBY

Although I have to admit I haven't heard any of Deradoorian's solo stuff yet. Mad crush on her though. Someone point me to some Doueh to hear.

xp thats indie rock's problem, not mine

you laff, but last time anco uncovered some weirdo doofus all of indie rock sounded like him four years later so

have no idea who yr referring to tbh

gucci mane?

anyway this lineup looks great, Broadcast are teh best

meh. they couldn't book lil b (the based god)?

Does anyone know whether Doueh and the Bishops are doing other UK shows around this time? I would be surprised if not, but it'd be nice to know as I guess this will sell out pretty quick (they're only doing one ATP in May, right?).

i mean pretty phenomenal bill... but then again they could put motorhead and the ghost of joey ramone on this lineup and it's like i wouldn't want to spend more than 3 minutes with an audience of DIEHARD ANIMAL COLLECTIVE FANS in their stupid masks without wanting to blow my fucking brains out all over the fish n chips stand

lol their fans wear masks?
