So there’s this band called Animal Collective, they played a show at Bowery Ballroom the other night, it was pretty good. If instead you watched Sawyer shirtless, or don’t live in NYC, or bought fake tickets from this douchebag, there’s a fine gentleman that goes by the name nyctaper that has you covered. As he did for the previous night’s Grand Ballroom set, the taper captured and posted the entire Bowery show as MP3, FLAC, and a full concert stream. Really it’s best heard front-to-back; as mentioned the other day, the set was purposefully constructed, culminating in a raved up “Brother Sport” and a great Sung Tongs reinventing/Panda Bear “covering” encore. For starters we’ve extricated a few of the best bits: a high-quality take on post-Merriweather Post cut “Blue Sky,” and the radical reworking of Sung Tongs‘ “Winters Love.” It’s very lagoony, to borrow a phrase, and captured in high def sound:
Here’s the whole thing to stream:

I love people who criticize bands on blogs for their inability to sing who clearly didn’t pass 3rd grade grammar.
