i mean, like i said before, he was dressed in a risky business sort of way when i saw him in boston, with his collar flipped up. maybe they had to cancel the tour because he took a job at an investment bank.

Saw them live at roskilde. They managed to play ten songs in eighty minutes, lots of droning interludes. Started out with Moonjock and What Would I Want? Sky, which means that the first fifteen minutes was in 7/8. At that point most of the audience had sortof realised they weren't going to get a dance-party. The audience only livened up when they played My Girls and Brother Sport. It got really bad reviews, but I loved it. Sorta.

Jealous you were in denmark. I studied abroad there and it's a great country.
― Treeship, Monday, 15 July 2013 15:05 (ten years ago) link
I'm Danish. And yeah, it's quite great, though the summer-weather is rubbish. Roskilde was really fantastic this year, but I've never been to any other big festival, so I can't really compare it.
― Frederik B, Monday, 15 July 2013 15:11 (ten years ago) link
I had to leave right before roskilde and i was devastated. Do you live in Copenhagen? Thats where I (predictably) was.
― Treeship, Monday, 15 July 2013 15:14 (ten years ago) link
Yup. Well, technically Frederiksberg, but it's all Copenhagen to me. Where did you study, and what?
― Frederik B, Monday, 15 July 2013 15:24 (ten years ago) link
I went to a school called the Danish Institute for Study Abroad for a semester, which is on Vestergade. All my classes were in English and were related to the humanities - philosophy, russian literature, art history and nordic mythology. My best class was on kierkegaard. I should have tried to learn at least a little danish but it didnt seem like there was enough time
― Treeship, Monday, 15 July 2013 15:34 (ten years ago) link
Oh right, that sounds logical. I think it's a part of the University of Copenhagen, where I studied humanities as well, but still it's own thing.

Yeah. And the worst part is, this most recent outburst earned him his own radio show.

Listening to Centipede Hz again. One more track until Amanita. Excited.
― Treeship, Monday, 15 July 2013 23:04 (ten years ago) link
merriweather didn't speak much to me when it first came out but it's been a really spectacular part of my summer. what a wonderful hippie album, totally joyous. also is this the best appropriation of all those kompat pop ambient collections ever? i feel like all those sounds are such a part of MPP. i also pulled out person pitch again for the summer and it's really perfect.
centipede isn't speaking to me now, seems denser and inaccessible and without space. i've only given it a few listens though.
― marcos, Tuesday, 16 July 2013 19:36 (ten years ago) link
i think centipede is more of an avey tare album and merriweather a panda bear one: the former is nervous and jittery and each of the songs seem to want to do a few different things as once. this is what i like about it, but i like merriweather too for the things that it does well.

Just to be sure: Dave Portner is Avey Tares real name, and Abigail Portner is his sister, who has made several of their album covers, right? They must be quite ugly shoes, then.

I hung my head in shame at the record store today, as I finally caved and bought the Prospect Hummer thingy with Vashti Bunyan (which is the reason I got it). I was totally amused that the spine credits the band as "AC." Teehee.

i have a feeling they are not long for this world as a group.

anyone else at the 9:30 show on monday? it was great, first time i've seen them play the Centipede stuff, which really came alive (especially "Father Time," which I didn't think much about beforehand). can't wait to see what they do next, together and individually! what an honor and a privilege to be around to see a legendary band in its prime!
