I got the impression that he hadn't performed a lot. His reaction to things seemed to indicate that.

or maybe these people aren't to be listened to? eh, sexy?

― duke dance, Monday, 30 August 2004 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm still interested in hearing the album though, fwiw.

"pevious" should be "pervious"

― sexyDancer, Monday, 30 August 2004 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, "totally fucking perverted."

I have to say, his website is completely genius (and also really sweet): http://www.arielpink.com/pages/1/index.htm

I am suddenly deeply curious to hear this. What about "The Doldrums," Sexy? That seems to be the easiest to find...

MOST OVERRATED BAND IN NEW YORK

― Ian John50n (orion), Sunday, 6 March 2005 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

spirit they've vanished is good, ian. so is the campfire songs cd. here comes the indian is alright, good in places. sung tongs no thanks yeah yr right.

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 6 March 2005 21:59 (twenty-one years ago)

The only one I really dig is Campfire Songs; I don't get what the big deal is re: the rest. Though I haven't heard the live LP.

― Ian John50n (orion), Sunday, 6 March 2005 22:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Animal Collective + Vashti Bunyan details, please!

― Mickey (modestmickey), Sunday, 6 March 2005 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought you liked the Animal Collective Ian? Personally I hear knew things every time I hear Sung Tongs. They're like an acoustic Boards of Canada or a primate Beach Boys or something.
Not so keen on the early electronick-ish stuff though. I'm still wrapping my head round Campfire and ...Indian too.

― dog latin (dog latin), Sunday, 6 March 2005 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't really hate Animal Collective, which it may seem like, but I don't think they deserve all the praise they're getting. Again, I quite like the Campfire Songs album. Sung Tongs is just Olivia Tremor Control redux, and the rest don't grab me as particularly interesting or innovative.

― Ian John50n (orion), Sunday, 6 March 2005 23:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, so you took acid and went camping. We get it already

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Sunday, 6 March 2005 23:52 (twenty-one years ago)

"They're like an acoustic Boards of Canada or a primate Beach Boys or something" = you make them sound like the worst band ever, dl.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 7 March 2005 11:02 (twenty-one years ago)

saying Sung Tongs is Olivia Tremor Control redux is extremely lazy...why? Because there are beach-boys harmonies? Because they experiment in the studio? Because they have a long droning song? For one thing, their exploration of acoustic layering and child-like mantras is worlds away from OTC's beatles obsession...they are concerned with the innocence and euphoria of youth, whereas OTC was exploring more free-thinking, acid-philosophy.. Ian says they're the most overrated band in Ny ?!?!...This is amazing to me, as I figured that they are the last band someone could say this about...They are definetely the type of band I can see keeping their integrity intact and constantly exploring new possibilities (each of their albums sounds completely different - sometimes like a completely different band)...MOST PROMISING BAND in NY is more like it!

― Space Is the Place (Space Is the Place), Monday, 7 March 2005 15:30 (twenty-one years ago)

they sound like the beatles.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 7 March 2005 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

good live recording of the new material here:

― Magic City (ano ano), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

How can I save this realplayer stream onto my computer?

― Magic City (ano ano), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Their new record will be their best.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

The new (full band) songs seem like a combination of what made Sung Tongs and HCTI great....the restless insanity of the latter and the pop sensibilities/tribal intensity of the former...though I did see them recently at the Bowery and felt that it was a little flat, the two NY shows that they played at the end of 2004 (with the same songs) were incredible

― Space Is the Place (Space Is the Place), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

gygax otm

details are they recorded three songs with vashti in england last spring I think. They were three songs they had left over from the sung tongs era. Fat Cat is releasing it as an ep in may or something. They should have them for sale on their april tour.

― Magic City (ano ano), Monday, 7 March 2005 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Any idea if the Vashti Bunyan EP is going to be a tour only thing, or widely available?

― Mickey (modestmickey), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:00 (twenty-one years ago)

it'll be out on fat cat in may

― naturemorte, Monday, 7 March 2005 22:37 (twenty-one years ago)

animal collective feat. vashti bunyan
'prospect hummer' ep

1. it's you
2. prospect hummer
3. baleen sample
4. I remember learning how to drive

16th may, 2005

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 09:45 (twenty-one years ago)

wow that sounds amazing

― owen reading, Wednesday, 9 March 2005 10:29 (twenty-one years ago)

It is a great EP, short (15 minutes) and sweet, and her voice works v. well w/ what they're doing.

― Mark (MarkR), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 11:47 (twenty-one years ago)

oh yeah, for those who were looking for song ID's from that live set from may of last year (acoustic, mostly sung-tongs stuff)--at least two of the segments from that show, as much as i can gather, will be on the ep-- "it's you" ("it's still growing...") and the lovable jingle about that friendly brother, the cat, whose only friend is the food bowl. "i remember learning how to drive" i think is the last song they played at the other music instore half a year ago. i thought it was "i remember learning how to dive" when i heard it, a la "what about bob".

― naturemorte, Wednesday, 9 March 2005 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

AC&Vashti, DFA&Liquid Liquid, Jack White&Loretta Lynn.. what is it with bands nowadays working with musicians they wish they were?

Ok ok i know, Ramones & Spector. But still, sheesh. What's next the Flaming Lips and Syd Barrett?

― Adam Bruneau (oliver8bit), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Why is this a problem?

― Magic City (ano ano), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I think this is the right idea.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i think its an OK idea in this case, but sort of boring in general. it rubs me slightly wrong the same way all of these reunions have (except unrest! unrest is the best! except unrest! unrest is the best!). i dont know, obv this isnt a cash cow, per se, but these things just scream "one-off" and "interesting career asterisk". those things arent intrinsically bad, i guess. they make me feel weird, though.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

what's up with artists working with people they admire?! i don't get it!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

nothing wrong with it - guest appearances just seem gimmicky to me sometimes. actually, maybe thats a little rockist of me.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 21:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I think they did it right in this case, though. Four little songs and the pairing makes sense.

― Mark (MarkR), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

fair enough - i cant wait to hear it, regardless - just makes me really REALLY want a new proper LP. again, rockism rockism rockism.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 21:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't worry they are recording the new lp even as we speak!!! uh, type.

― Magic City (ano ano), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

What's next the Flaming Lips and Syd Barrett?

let's hope so. their collab. with spongebob squarepants was garbage.

― eman (eman), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't get it either, weirdoes.

what's up w.working w.artists who are artistically strapped?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 10 March 2005 00:24 (twenty-one years ago)

this ep's pretty good, though i like the instrumental "baleen sample" the most. not as good as sung tongs.

― eman (eman), Thursday, 17 March 2005 21:34 (twenty-one years ago)

the new Ariel Pink is fucking dope

― ken taylrr (ken taylrr), Thursday, 17 March 2005 21:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I love that cover of 'I just called to say I love you' they were doing live this past tour. They said they'll probably record it, as it's part of some longer original material they have. But yeah, as gygaz mentioned above and magic city seconded, their next record is bound to be amazing, judging from the recent live stuff.

― Kevin H (Kevin H), Thursday, 17 March 2005 22:48 (twenty-one years ago)

could somebody yousendit that animal collective live show for me? pretty please?

― Rizzx, Thursday, 17 March 2005 23:18 (twenty-one years ago)

in SF/Oakland, they didn't really cover "i just called to say I love you", they just inserted the chorus once into one of their songs. It was all of about 30 seconds maybe.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 17 March 2005 23:23 (twenty-one years ago)

That's too bad- they really stretched it out when they played in Philly (right before Thanksgiving). Also, above, I meant 'gygax' not gygaz. finger-slip. I guess the new album will be out, what- late summer/early fall, maybe?

― Kevin H (Kevin H), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:27 (twenty-one years ago)

They are in the studio now so probably later this year. The "swimming pool" song will be on there if you remember that one.
