it's the best song on the album, and only two or three songs come close the quality of it (in the flowers and brothersport). the rest of the songs on the album are pretty mediocre imo. don't get me wrong, i think merriweather post pavillion is a good album, but definitely not album of the year material.
i'm a minority though. most people seem to love it.

Still think its among the weakest on the otherwise terrific album. The final part just has no proper 'punch' to make it click. But I have a lot of time for these guys, they're far and away my favourite CURRENT band.

i hate the new album, it's so fucking shit compared to everything they've done in the past. it's boring and mundane and the tunes have no strength to them.
sorry :(

Someone sent me that track a while ago. I thought it kind of sucked. The vocals sounded almost like Tom DeLonge of Blink 182/Angels and Airwaves. Normally the guy who sent it to me has good taste in music, so I listened again. Then I said, "this isn't Animal Collective, is it?" because the mp3 was just called My Girls, with no artist name listed. After discovering it was indeed Animal Collective, I listened a third time and suddenly loved it. That kind of fucked me up. Learning I have such strong biases when it comes to music. I like to think I judge music based on the music alone. But I guess that's not always the case.

maybe mpp was new to them. not everyone can start listening to bands at the very first album and follow their entire career and love everything. you are probably so cool you are into bands that dont even exist yet. good for you.
dont call me a cunt either, thats just rude and uncalled for.

well most good bands get noticed at some point. maybe you can start a band and only play music that 3 people will like and make them feel super cool. like they are not cool enough to listen to your band but do so anyway because they really are that cool.
i think mpp blew up because it is more listenable to anything they have done yet. if people get into them because of mpp and then rediscover their back catalogue and enjoy that as well, well then i think thats great.
and i am informed. informed enough to know that im telling a little kid how to think in his bedroom of his mommies house in front of the computer they bought him to go to college with where he tells people how original he is in between bouts of furious masturbation to pictures of panda bear rubbing a roland sampler all over his strawberry jam covered ass. but hey, keep expressing yourself through other people's art.

it's a reasonable question though: why is listening to a band seen as a badge of honor that's somehow tarnished when other people listen and enjoy after having missed out the first or second or third time around?
doesn't that attitude seem...just a little...juvenile?

Shame.. it was a great show. Although there were far too many people in there, it was hard to really get physical to the more dancey songs, Summertime Clothes, the extended version of Fireworks (which was phenomenal) or Brother Sport. Leaf House was also great to hear live.

have you downloaded any shows? there are many to choose from.
but of course being there in person is something else entirely. i've never seen anyone else like them, it's a sensory overload.

better yet, two tunes from a bbc session, check especially "what would i want sky."

i don't think i'm cool. it just sucks when something you've
held close to you for a long time is now all of the sudden the hip new thing to a bunch of hipster dumbasses...... i'm just bitter.
I feel your pain, trust me.. we've all been there. The folks that would act like the voice of reason and say "Why are you upset that more people are enjoying the music you love" etc etc. used to get my panties in a serious wad. But really dude, life's too short to worry about this kinda shit, because at the end of the day I had to be honest with myself and come to terms with the fact that no one really gives a fuck about how progressive my tastes are/were or what bands I liked before they got popular. If anything, take comfort from the fact that when the aforementioned hipster scum starts namedropping your band you can talk way more intelligently about them. Over time, the minutiae will dissipate.
All that being said, I'm sick of hearing everybody and his/her dog fawning over Animal Collective too. And yes, I love the song My Girls.. dammit!

a stranger found it and shared it with some people. supposedly they found it serendipitously but that sounds a little suspicious.
