Let’s face it, this was pretty inevitable. In fact, it was as inevitable as the alternate sites that will replace the current file sharing sites and the sites that will replace them and the sites that will replace them and so on…
Yeah, as far as I’m concerned this list should be called Top 9 Bands With a Bez!
“5 & 4 Tom Meighan & Serge Pizzorno (Kasabian) [tie]”
A “tie” because the best way to measure blandness is to point out the lack of noticeable difference.0
Seriously though, is there anybody out there who truly believes that Kasabian are “cool”?
As I just said to one of my friends, I can’t afford this so I’m going to have to do a DIY version.
Where can I download this song?
Where can I get a cheap blank usb to put it on?
Any volunteers for the other part?
Who listens to a show like that? I really couldn’t bear how bad it was on those two tracks if I was actually listening to it on the radio. In fact I just turned off during the second track because it was too frustrating. If it was the radio live I would have turned off there and then. Ratings down one listener.
The Sun really is the worst. Not only is this not news (Harry told the story in 1989) it was debunked years ago. http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/debharry.asp
One could argue that cartoon bands are a very poor substitute for the real thing…
“Curious they have no tolerance whatsoever for anyone who doesn’t think exactly as they do”
Says a woman who just showed that she has no tolerance for a whole list of people – a whole list that looks a lot like anyone who doesn’t think exactly as she does. Curious indeed, Moe.
It’s at times like this when I feel really sorry for Doug Yule.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who still listens to GY!BE.
Whoops…. accidentally typed that word twice…. yeah…. accidentally… you guys knew I was talking about Lou Reed’s eyesight, yeah?
OK so curiosity got the better of me and I just had to ask. Are they modelled after the members members of the band?
I’m still convinced that the whole Animal Collective thing is a giant prank at my expense. Isn’t it about time you all came clean? We can laugh about it, joke about how you nearly fell for it yourself for a few minutes and then get on with the real business of music. It’ll be nice.
One of the highlights when I saw them in Glasgow recently was the lovely little film they played in the background during Here Comes Your Man. Since I’m not in the US I can’t see the hulu vid so I’ll just presume they don’t have it on the Conan show. Normally, I don’t tend to pay much attention to backdrop projections at gigs but this one was just some nice footage of each member as they listened to the song – singing along at bits, dancing, making funny faces. There’s probably a youtube video of it but since YouTube is down right now you’ll have to make do with my insufficient explanation. This lack of archive multimedia proof is like living in the ’89 or something.
I can’t wait until I can repeat your comment, replacing “The Pipettes” with Animal Collective. By 2019 everyone will be.
They’ve gone to some lengths to distance themselves from those early Radiohead comparisons with this sort of thing. I didn’t think they’d be able to make me laugh as much as I did when I first heard Knights of Cydonia but they prove me wrong! Keep ‘em coming you crazy bastards…
I know everyone is either complaining about the “transparent cashgrab” or pointing out that EMI are just doing what they do (It’s not like Radiohead didn’t benefit in many ways from being on the label) but what I don’t understand is why don’t they put out all these bonus CDs and DVDs out in a b-sides/rarities boxset? Wouldn’t that make them more money? I know I would buy it but I’m not going to go out of my way to buy these albums which I’ve already got and I’m sure I’m not alone. Are they completely blind to the actual fan market?
I could barely hear the song over my laughter at its lameness. I love the fact that all the comments on your link to the song are about the quality of the recording. Obviously this must be a defence mechanism instilled in the Manson fans out there – the only way for them to avoid or ignore the fact that the song is just plain hilarious. And no, after managing to get to the end of the single I’m not going to click on the remix.
The Minotaur was half-bull you know. This smells somewhat more bovine than man though.
“I would like to end by saying thank you to those who pray for me”
Something tells me that on his first draft that said “to me”
ok that was supposed to be a reply to Ron Jenkin above but instead the system dumped me at the bottom leaving me more confused than old people at an Animal Collective gig. “I though you said we were going to the zoo?”
Ok, since you asked (and surprisingly I agree with you saying that opinions stated in “>” form aren’t particularly substantial ones, although only an opinion, your’s is one I consider to be correct.)
I personally consider the experimental piece that is John Cage’s 4′ 33″ complete with its suggestion that a musician sits in front of their instrument without playing to be preferable to the “experience” of subjecting my ears to the “sounds” produced by Animal Collective. I would rather sit for 4 and a half minutes in silence contemplating the nature of music, sound and silence, music’s relationship with the musician and its audience and the world around me at that moment than put up with 50odd minutes of meandering nonsense that doesn’t go anywhere. For four minutes and thirty three seconds I can wait for something to happen safe in the knowledge that eventually sound will return (not that it was ever gone) in the form of applause, conversation, debate or just plain human movement rather than spending 50odd minutes waiting for something to happen (that will justify the hype the Animal Collective recording received) only to be disappointed when the disc leaves me feeling irritated, bored and rather bewildered at my music fan peers (and I have repeated that experience a few times with little to no difference in the results). Of course, I have nothing against anybody else doing this if they enjoy it (or even if they don’t). How you spend your time is none of my business.
So there you go. Rage away….
April fool or not, it’s still a more enjoyable listen than Merriweather Post Pavillion.
Well these comments were certainly most subtle an attack on Corgan than those baseballs in the Starfuckers video.
“three albums to his name”
If you ignore the other four (and his Neil Young cover album) I suppose that would be true…
