Animal Collective split

Heringerin [Edit] [Delete] 44 replies 19:54 August 5th, 2009

No fooling either, From Pitchfork:

"Having topped the NME's baffling and controversial hot top 50 future thing, the Baltimore pachouli-oil drinkers have decided to go out on a high and split up forever and ever amen. A short statement from the band read: 'Dude, now that more than 1,500 have heard of us it would be kinda wrong and bogus to continue. We hope (although we secretly know differently) that we entertained you all with our sub-sub-sub-Brian Wilsons brain type doings"."

  you were all poised to go 'no way! really?', werent you? Be mint if they did split up in the morning though, they could take the hint.

      trucker cap wearing knob-cheeses that use words like 'shiny', 'bright' and 'cascading' to describe music, it was my new-years resolution.

        Well, yeah. Of course they probably do
        
        Cant help themselves generally. It really isnt that good, any of it. And ive tried.

hey hater!

It's not hard to ignore bands you dont like, not posting on forums where a lot of people like said bands would probably be a useful step.

svenrokk | 5 Aug '09, 21:15 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Oh yeah?
  
  Where's the fun in that? you'll move onto something else soon i would imagine Give it two years mate and and you'll be straight to the record and tape exchange with all 13 of their atrocities on 180gm Vinyl (drool/whatevs) seeing what you can get for them. I'll donate whatever ive got in my wallet to charity right now if you smash them all up and mail the debris Domino records.
  
  Heringerin @svenrokk | 5 Aug '09, 21:24 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - first saw them 4 years ago, and loved them before that (ie. since sung tongs)
    
    can't see any way that that won't continue.
    
    Where's the fun in making sniping comments against a band just because they're not for you? I feel a great indifference to quite a few of the artists listed on your profile, but i dont really feel the urge to slag them off in a place where i know there are people that like them.

    - nah mate its ok
      
      if you dont like some of them just say, quite a few of them have probably deserved it at one time or another. "Knock yourself out".

OH NOES!!!11

Someone on the internet doesn't like animal collective!!! My tiny malleable hipster mind is melting. Who is this mysterious, smirking sage, this Nietzscherian ubermensche who dares to cast off the shackles of the indie tastemakers and dissent from the all powerful gods atop mount pitchfork.

And so on.

pointless trolling

dont like them, then fuck off. but facts are they've been making incredible records for 10 years now. so what if the nme start dry humping them. just means there'll be a few pricks at their gig for a few years. then it'll die down again. then you can go back to listening to the pointlessly long list of artists on your profile. Wow! you like sunnO))), gang of four AND Aphex Twin!!?? You're so hip it hurts dawg

- Ja-LOL-abad! hey Mister Inside-Outside
  
  I dont need lessons on how to listen to music from some cunt that listens to Soundgarden ('Superunknown'? super load of sub-sabbath tumour juice more like). And the only reason i got such long list is because thats pretty much everything i own. He-he he he he....Soundgarden. You lovin Cornells new record aye? Fucknut.
  
  (srsyly though good call on the Daydream nation lyrics)

    - and wait, i just read my profile
      
      it specifically says "superunknown > all other grunge"
      
      no mention is made about anything else. and for the record, cornells a cunt and much of his music is shit. suprunknown was the last good record he was involved with.
