Animal Collective is fucking incredible!

So I went to the second Animal Collective show Monday night, I had an extra ticket but couldn't find a taker, so I sold it and went solo(which I like.) The people who I offered the ticket to made a big mistake as this was one of the best rock shows I have ever seen(and I have seen many.) The Sunday show blew me away, but was hindered by "bad vibes" that ended in booing and no encore. Animal Collective regrouped for there final show at Webster Hall and really fuckin' took everything to another level. Where as the night before they didn't make it through "Fireworks" this night they would not only make it through but extend the song entirely. After a manic version of "Who could win a Rabbit?" the show could have ended and been perfect, but they added a plus to the "A" by doing a two song encore. After an hour and 45 min of bliss, The Vibes were definitely good. While watching Panda Bear illuminated by a blinding blue back light I swear he visually and vocally is an angel in a tug o' war with sidekick Avery Tare who hunched over in a red tee shirt plays the role of the devil who's voice, after his fall from heaven, is angelic but completely mutated. The whole show they seem to be sitting, one on each of your shoulders, singing and screaming into your ears while your head melts from the lights and the sonic textures of Geologist machines. This show was incredible! I took some vids and a couple of pics(but they do not do the show justice.) Anyway here they are. LUVIT!

Animal Collective lastnight!

So last night, there were even more shows. Animal Collective was playing at Webster Hall with Vampire Weekend, so i dragged my lovely friend Djuna Bel out for the trip. We skipped Vampire Weekend cuz I've seen them before and Djuna was eating Nachos. The last time I saw VW they were o.k but a little bland in my not so humble opinion. Djuna and I walked in right when AC kicked off with "Peace Bone" it was fucking awesome. I really was blown away, the lights were amazing and the sound was nIce nice nice. There set up was interesting Decon was missing and Panda Bear and Geologist were only playing samplers and tweaking various machines, while Avey Tare sang and fucked with a synth. The show pretty much moved at this pace of awesomeness...until.. Avey Tare ended "Fireworks" right in the middle of the song cuz he said the stage sound was too bass-y and he couldn't hear shit. Fuck that. It's not about you dude, it's about us cuz we paid money homeboy to see you play music and guess what, ending in the middle of songs is not playin' music. And judging from the Bronx cheer everyone in the crowd was in agreement, they had been waitin' on the song so they were not pleased when they didn't restart it. We got over it, i guess(actually i wasn't that pissed cuz i knew I was going to see them the next day)....until... they end the show with no encore. The whole crowd started booing, again. Animal Collective getting booed, nice. Anyhoo, the merch table was packed at the end of the show. I got a shirt. And I'm even going to the second show tonight. Hopefully they got the kinks out. Here is what it looked like. LUVIT!

The Virgins - "Radio Christiane"

So The Virgins played yesterday at the end of the summer jam in Thompkins Square Park. If you don't quite know who the Virgins are, they are a band from NYC that kinda just kick around doin' whatever. They are on Sony records i believe and they have this song called "Rich Girls" that sounds like a song you've heard before but you haven't, which means it's probably going to be a huge fuckin' hit. Anyway there really isn't a good vid for "Rich Girls" so we will show you "Radio Christiane" it's not a great vid, sound quality wise , but I love the visual, shit is kinda ill. It's got that we're dope without tryin' feel, na mean. Anyway. LUVIT!

Sunday Shows All Damn Day!

So check it, yesterday was shows for me all damn day. The day was kicked off at Thompkins Square Park at Joe Latt and A-Ron's end of Summer Jam with Sh Sh Shark Attack, Beans, The Virgins, A.R.E. Weapons, and The L.E.S All Stars. It was day time, it was bright, there were little kids and families and shit(which is always a weird setting for rock shows in my opinion)but even with a severe hang over it was a good time. Here are some snap shots. LUVIT!
