whoops try this

indie-leaks-dot-com

nothing personal, but you're an asshole for posting that here.

does this thing eventually go away, or will i need to restart my computer?

oh noooooo i was typing my entire senior thesis in my hotmail and now its lost foreverrrrr

we're no strangers to ctrl+alt+delete.

this month has me hating that song so much, you have noooo idea

linking to the fake rickroll leak: priceless
linking to some supposed forum for us ILXORS to have a laff at, but no not really, actually it's something that NEVER goes away: ;_;

why u break heart gr80?

at some point someone should start a thread that's actually about this bloody album

We need to find a way to corrupt someone at Domino's pressing plant and rickroll the retail cd.

that's the logical next step, i suppose.

"at some point someone should start a thread that's actually about this bloody album"

done

yeah, i know! yet another rickroll...

people only pretend to listen to this band - instead they listen to modest mouse

Speak for yourself, buddy.

butthurt AC fans are one of the best parts of the internet imo

l-r rick astley, gradski, me

It's so weird though, I never really thought of Animal Collective fans as being any sort of collected force until about Prospect Hummer, since then its gone a bit nuts. Even though they were my favourite band for a few years there, can I please not be tarred with this brush? I'm way more butthurt about strawberry jam than I could be by rick rolls.

btw, I got a charlie brown book for christmas, 1955-6

its been out for almost 24 hours now

how many people do you think have it?

nominal- that thing won't open, and now can't be thrown away- is it a nasty virus of some kind? I'm a double dipped sucker for downloading anything of this thread, obviously

fool me once

I have some affection for the hyperactive kids on atease (the Collected Animals folks are 50% insane, 50% dicks, though), but something about them finally getting the album and then spending 50 pages wondering when they'd get a better quality version really fucked me the fuck off. Straw, camel's back, etc., I suppose.

P.S. that rickroll, fuuuuuuuuuuck yoooooooou. Although I've bookmarked it, obv.

it opens! it does

I got rickrolled on Tha Carter III so I feel your pain. The shock when the synths come in is incomparable to most things in life.

atease is registered only. RIP borgan

grady-roxy axis has deftly shown record labels the way to fight piracy

they're not even asking a consultants fee either

The Harvard Department of Psychology in collaboration with the Indiana University School of Education performed a study to investigate the possible relationship between measured intelligence & music appreciation. Thirty full length albums were selected that ranged from Rogers and Hammerstein to Malawian tribal healing music.Of the thirty albums somehow Person Pitch made the list. 5000 participants from a wide range of socio-economic, ethnic, & educational backgrounds were selected at random. Male/female and age groups were equally represented. The findings concluded that there is a strong relationship between measured intelligence & appreciation of specific types of musical stimulation. Genre proved to be statistically irrelevant but individual tracks and albums were observed to have a strong connection with various intelligence levels. People grouped in intelligence levels in the upper middle-tier & above were found to have a statistically significant affinity for Person Pitch.

it's real enough. the songs are great! http://www.zshare.net/download/53318330ecd202e4/

i looked at that first post of that link, cozwn

that's nothing to get too happy about, just luck!

but i did like the sig of the one contributor:

open up your,
open up your,
open up your coke

played this right through twice, which is more than I've managed for any previous project (obv. exception PP) but I'm still confused by this band a little... I'm often not sure what my response is supposed to be emotionally to them? and fuck knows the lyrics (feel like putting that in quote marks tbh) don't help.

I dunno, compare with MBV, Slowdive etc... and I still wonder really, is it just the cool sounds they make that trumps all or are they really just a bit like, bogus?

First listen blew me away fwiw, but the second.. old feelings returning as I was hoping to get deeper into the "songs".

Dunno, help me out here :/

It *really* helps that this record appears to have actual balls (bass?) for once mind you. Suddenly, finally they actually feel not so desperately indie and that's a great thing.

fuckit! ignore last post! listening again en kitchen (streaming off laptop through lovely punchy mono radio, clears up the vocal mix a bit) and well, okay tracks 1-4 are ringing out clear as a bell :X more spins required deffo.

(maybe there's some canned weirdness later on? I don't recall right now and I need to go throw the beetroot in the pan anyway...)

that's a gay study and gives lame hipsters something else to be pretentious about
