#1 (Live on "Late Night WIth Conan OBrien") - Animal Collective
So Animal Collective is awesome, Pat probably won't like them because they aren't Linkin Park, but that is okay. I can understand how some people would be turned off. It's weird stuff. This video was taken on Conan O' Brien..as you can see if you watch the damn video. What was great was the closed caption translation of the sounds:
Props to J Money for this greatness.

I wish I could see the people at the Closed Captioning office with this one.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff though.
Alright if any song needs closed captioning it better be because you can't hear over the guitar/drums or because its in a foreign language... this is neither.
ReplyDeleteReally how does noise like this get classified as music? Its like chucking a can of paint at a wall and calling it art. Seriously what combination drugs (cause i seriously doubt one would do) do you have to be on to enjoy this trip?
Probably less than you need to actually listen to, or even own, any Linkin Park album. And to not only own and listen to albums by said artist, but to at the same time not be a massicist and actually think they are enjoyable...well...that is some strong Kool Aid my friend. Some very, very strong Kool Aid.
ReplyDeleteAlso admissable to like Linkin Park if you are a thirteen year old girl, sorry. Didn't want to blame that demographic for things they can't help - that primarily being stupidity.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to have the Kool-Aid man burst through the wall to make this type of music even remotely close to something resembling entertainment let alone even have the possibility of being considered music.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there is some feeling of loss that you missed out on part of the 80's with the tacky tech undertones or the 60's drug induced haze as can only be described by watching one of the videos.
Good luck supporting the claim that the '60's was a bad era for music.
ReplyDeleteAnd the video had a disclaimer it was weird.
The only disclaimer I've seen on any Linkin Park stuff is Explicit Lyrics. Never a disclaimer for suck.
Woah, never said i the 60's was bad for music, and I'm glad we took the good parts and tried to evolve the best aspects.
ReplyDeleteThen some regurgitation has to come along and string together a collage of the worst crap from previous decades. Epic fail.
Disclaimer should have had one for suck, weird doesn't even come close. I mean there is only so far i will support false advertisement, and you are no Billy Mays sir. I will not eat cat poop.
So just regurgitating the insult I put forth to you isn't really that creative. You could have at least said "Disclaimer should have had one for lameness" or something. Couldn't even think of some sort of synonym for suck?? This lack of creativity and ingenuity reminds me of Linkin Park.
ReplyDeleteOoooooh I'm sorry, you probably don't have time to be creative with all those New Metal bands out there to listen to.
I also want to add how I love that writing for the blog allows Pat and I to completely rip each other's humanity apart with no sense of guilt.
ReplyDeleteHow can you not consider this music? Their ear for harmonies and melodies far exceed that of Chester Bennington and his cronies. I mean, Animal Collective is often mentioned alongside the Beach Boys or the Flaming Lips in this regard. As for Linkin Park? Notable music "legends" Papa Roach and Limp Bizkit. That same level of musicianship brought you this gem:

And don't even get me started on the lyrical content. Linkin Park's lyrics are on the same sophomoric level as an angst-ridden teenager's insipid poetry journal. But I guess if you bitch and moan enough about how your life sucks so much, you can convince those same teenagers to buy your album en masse.
I guess Linkin Park does have one-up on Animal Collective though. AC was never nominated for a Nickolodeon Kid's Choice Award.
