ILX pre-covers Animal Collective's "Centipede Hz"

I would like to take "Rosie Oh"

"Pulleys" plz

Done and done:

01 Moonjock -- MaresNest
02 Today's Supernatural -- V79
03 Rosie Oh -- da croupier
04 Applesauce -- dog latin
05 Wide Eyed -- Adam Bruneau
06 Father Time -- Z/S
07 New Town Burnout -- snoball
08 Monkey Riches
09 Mercury Man
10 Pulleys -- HI DERE
11 Amanita

I will happily contribute in a vocal capacity, but I have no instrumental ability.

I mean, I don't really have vocal ability either, but

Any title of the remaining three grab you?

They are all so good I can't decide. "Mercury Man" has the potential to be a really bizarre sci-fi story, though.

dibs on Monkey Riches

Sounds good, so:

01 Moonjock -- MaresNest
02 Today's Supernatural -- V79
03 Rosie Oh -- da croupier
04 Applesauce -- dog latin
05 Wide Eyed -- Adam Bruneau
06 Father Time -- Z/S

Now accepting auditions for backing band! Also I have never heard Animal Collective (nor do I ever really want to).

I sort of wish Weird Al would do an Animal Collective parody.

how would you describe animal collective's sound to someone who has never heard them?

ah fuck, too late, I'd have done this

put me on as a backup if anyone drops out

wistful psychedelic examinations of childhood

they sound like background music to gradius?

You mean there's no room in your heart for some original artwork showing pink sparkling vomit?

I'm willing to try a collaboration with anyone who didn't make it on the list in time - contenderizer, uh oh, whoever.

imo cover should be this:

Animal Collective's Brian Weitz (aka Geologist) spoke with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 last night to discuss the band's newly announced album Centipede Hz. Lovers of early Animal Collective, rejoice: Weitz said the band has moved away from Merriweather Post Pavilion's sound and "back to our roots."
The band members all moved back to the Baltimore area to record together. Weitz said, "We got a little practice space in this barn on Josh [Dibb, aka Deakin]'s mom's property and it was basically like being a garage band again."
That means you'll find less sampling on Centipede Hz than on Merriweather, and more organic instrumentation. "This one we wrote more as a rock band in a room and we wanted to record it that way as well." Weitz also mentioned that they've played most of the music on the record live on tour over the past year.

Is it a rule that you can't have heard the live versions before doing this? Cos I haven't and now that I think about it yeah maybe some people have.

Perhaps so! Doesn't matter, live versions don't always sound like the studio ones anyway.

It's a shame if AC have taken a step backwards for this record, hoping that ILX are going to take up the slack a bit.

in the interest of trolling youtubers, i fully endorse ppl hearing the live versions first and then attempting the most ~creative~ interpretation of them, though i realize that may go against the ILX Pre-Cover philosophy

We'll rent a state-of-the-art studio in NYC, take over two floors of a nearby hotel, pay a guru to make sure that the 'chi' is balanced, and then get loaded on 100 year old brandy and coke.

(xp)

ah fuck gr80 you better be careful if you're going to go all lulu on this

lest we all forget the

web sheriff

ha, it really is the most ideal premise for the third installment of my internet trolling trilogy!

Ha ha I won't listen to live bootlegs of as yet unreleased animal collective songs for less than 50 dollars american....

Crap i don't think "Wide Eyed" has been performed live yet.
