its funny cause last night my gf wanted me to download that album for her, so i had to dig back 2 pages to find the link.

3/12/2008 1:27:56 PM

anyone have the new animal collective ep??

3/12/2008 6:07:35 PM

has it leaked?

3/12/2008 6:20:10 PM

^ Yep.

Animal Collective - Water Curses

hxxp://www.zshare.net/download/8819348e1143ab/

I've got this on my desktop, but haven't really felt compelled to unzip it yet, so someone let me know if it resembles actual music.

3/12/2008 6:27:51 PM

yeah, because their last two albums were soo weird sounding

3/12/2008 6:39:37 PM

^^ Seriously, if you didn't just post the link for download, you'd deserve a good smack.

3/13/2008 6:01:12 AM

I'll give him one for you.

3/13/2008 6:22:07 AM

this is glorious thread...i love you all

3/13/2008 7:45:35 AM

dunno if its relevant to this thread or not....but REM show at SXSW last night on NPR:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88155007

sounds stellar so far...excited about this album

3/13/2008 8:57:44 AM

am i the only one who thinks rem is quite possibly the most over rated and over adored band of all time

i know i'm probably the biggest animal collective homer on here, but the first two songs on that EP are fucking sweet.. i almost like them more than anything on SJ. i think they're already recording the next album as well.

It's a great album, isn't it?

3/14/2008 9:20:29 AM

^OH GLORIOUS!

3/14/2008 9:22:41 AM

3/14/2008 9:34:59 AM

that bon iver is kinda boring

3/14/2008 9:48:31 AM

It's great.





AT MEDIOCRITY!!!!

3/14/2008 10:00:13 AM

GREAT BACKGROUND MUSIC IF I WAS ROLLING SLEEP BUNDLES DOWN AT THE WHARF

3/14/2008 10:08:50 AM

i think the megafaun album is better

3/14/2008 10:12:14 AM

It's low-fi and mellow, but I like it anyway.

3/14/2008 10:15:14 AM

yeah i dig

its iron + wine like, but its still a good album

i'm still up on she+him...not sure what to think

3/14/2008 10:29:19 AM

I usually don't like much of the "downer" music, but that album actually appeals to me. Not something I'd want to rock all the time, but it's good. I like it better than Beach House, I know that much

I'm digging that Born Ruffians at the moment

That She and Him is very average. Not enough M Ward

[Edited on March 14, 2008 at 11:02 AM. Reason : .]

3/14/2008 11:01:58 AM

^agreed on the she+him

too many "oo la la la"s

3/14/2008 11:19:04 AM

i like the she + him album

3/14/2008 11:50:33 AM

I think it's okay, but about halfway through I get bored with it

3/14/2008 12:47:57 PM

ha, i'm sure you beat spöokyjon to that one

3/14/2008 12:50:02 PM

now i've got to check out she+him

i love me some "ooh la-la-la's"

3/14/2008 12:53:49 PM

i think you'll like it

"cuteness" came to mind during the first listen

so i'm sure you'll like it

3/14/2008 12:54:33 PM

her voice is very cute, but it can't carry a whole album imo

3/14/2008 12:56:38 PM

^^ I'm betting the opposite

it's not cute like J.Lew, it sounds pretty uncomfortable except for the "You Really Got a Hold on Me" cover

3/14/2008 12:58:45 PM

i can see that happening too

3/14/2008 12:59:23 PM

hmmmmmm

i can definitely see her forcing it in a mo tucker sort of way

3/14/2008 1:26:59 PM

i can see it too

but i fucking love that "why do you let me stay here?" song

3/14/2008 1:29:06 PM

vinylbandit made the connection that has been on the tip of my tongue for awhile now. It's like a whole album of Mo Tucker songs.

3/14/2008 1:37:42 PM

It bothers me that the username autoformat left you with an uncapitalized sentence-starter.

Fuck you, TWW.

3/14/2008 1:44:16 PM

I had the same thought.

3/14/2008 1:52:52 PM

i never capitalize the beginnings of my sentences online. vinylbandit, fuck you!

3/14/2008 1:53:33 PM

^^,^^^ If you kids want to have some kind of affair, that's okay by me.

anyone have that whiskeytown reissue? or the bonus tracks in particular?

3/14/2008 5:27:22 PM

finally got home to listen to she & him all the way through

way too forced

i'm literally taken aback with how forced it is

but i'm a sucker for the ronnie spector shit that's interspersed

so i'm not totally down on it

3/14/2008 9:24:00 PM

a buddy of mine asked me my opinion of the She & Him album, here was my non-professional response ...

Quote :

"This album/collaboration is much like orange soda. When I take that first swallow my initial reaction is, "OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT I FUCKING LOVE ORANGE SODA!" I love the tingle it induces in the back of my throat, and the battle of artificial sweeteners with the bitterness of the manufactured citrus flavorings. "I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS ORANGE SODA, GIVE ME ANOTHER!" "Oh no ... this isn't good ... now I have this thick, syrupy film coating the inside of my mouth and it tastes like ass." "Fuck, I can't even scrap this shit off my tongue." Short of cutting off my tongue with child's safety scissors ... "I need water, or perhaps some refreshing Post-War." Five minutes later and time to forget ... "SOME ORANGE SODA WOULD BE THE BOMB RIGHT NOW!" ... and that's my word."
