The Fucking Animal Collective.
It begins. Their name will just pop into my head. I then go on Pitchfork and read about how much they love them. Then, I go to YouTube and watch the video for "Peacebone." I start commenting. "Fuck this fucking band, why are they such critical darlings!" "It grows on me, until that fuck Avey Tare (wtf name?!?!?!) starts having a seizure over that stupid squelching synth loop!" "What kind of drugs do I need to take before I enjoy this bullshit?" "Why don't I like this band? Three things right off the bat: their stupid fucking names, their stupid fucking lyrics and their bad taste in clothing." "Who's that jackass with the headlamp? GEOLOGIST?! Fuck that!!" And on and on and on...until they are snubbed six times by overzealous AC fans protecting their lil critters. I hate this band so much. I hate this band so much. I hate this band so much. They don't make any sense. To me.

hahah.. wait so you don't like the animal collective?
lol i love this. "WHAT KIND OF DRUGS DO I NEED TO TAKE BEFORE I ENJOY THIS BULLSHIT?" lol.
well, i see where you're coming from... you know people who absolutely hate jazz? and how sometimes you hear a 3 minute saxophone solo and you're just like "jesus christ, this is a little overboard". and sometimes jazz goes beyond it's spontaneous limits and you feel like ripping off your head. but then there's other times when you're really in the mood and it sounds like nothing but beautiful, creative, well... collectiveness. and that's how i feel about the animal collective. sure they can get annoying, especially when you start to watch their live stuff on youtube (mistake, haha). but i like 'em, they're quirky, and different, but still really creative and i like the noises they make. lol. kind of like shawn...
dude, sorry i havent been on the blog in a while, but, yeah, barrack is my man. anyway, i think animal collective is pretty good, i mean, i dont think they deserve the critical acclaim they get, but they're enjoyable, and "Fireworks" is a damn good song.
Dear Joe,
Your comments are plentiful and beneficial like a basket of fruit. I hardly ever return the favor. On the grand scale of food related things I'm like the occasional candy bar that is just okay.
I'M SORRY.
