Animal Collective “Guys Eyes” Surfing Video

Speaking of AnCo…I’m about ready for that found footage music video moratorium I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. Also, really incredible record, yes, but another clip for Merriweather Post Pavilion? Mostly unnecessary. Where’s the new Panda Bear? (GvsB)

Ratatat vs Animal Collective vs M.I.A. Hipster Runoff Remix

Rattytat (as he has been named by Carles of Hipster Runoff) first appeared in Ratatat’s recent “Party With Children” video. He has since decided to go solo via Carles’ magnum opus, above, a remix video of Ratatat, Animal Collective’s “My Girls” and M.I.A.’s “Born Free” (appropriately titled, “Born at a Free Party with My Girls”). [...]

180° South Documentary Trailer feat. Animal Collective’s “Derek”

180° South, a documentary about retracing a 1968 journey to Patagonia, recently released the tracklisting for the soundtrack, which will include contributions from Isaac Brock and James Mercer. Isaac (Modest Mouse) wrote the majority of the music for the soundtrack (due June 22) as Ugly Casanova. The trailer features Animal Collective’s “Derek” from their 2007 [...]

“Brother Sport” – Another Tripped Out Animal Collective Video

The newest clip from Animal Collective for Merriweather Post Pavillion closer, “Brother Sport,” certainly goes to a lot of places, doesn’t it? A tripped out weird a$$ AnCo video – who’s surprised? I’m actually surprised, though, that they wouldn’t make a video for one of the newer Fall Be Kind tracks. After all, “What Would [...]

My Poproks Top 10 Albums of 2009

Hey, 2009. I’d like to thank you for wrapping up what has been the best decade for music, and I’ll argue this til the day I’m convinced that the next decade is the best. What I’m trying to say is, it keeps getting better. And, technically, doesn’t the decade end after 2010? Uber confusing. But [...]

Notes From Mymix: Animal Collective, Peter Bjorn and John, No Age, Wale

[Hi. This is an update highlighting new albums recently added to the Mymix page. Bye]
Animal Collective’s Fall Be Kind EP Seems like only a blogminute ago that Merriweather Post Pavilion made its early Album of the Year bids this January. Between that and this upcoming EP, that’s a good hour and a half of brain-melting [...]

Animal Collective Remix Phoenix “Love Like a Sunset” For Upcoming Remix Album

I moved to the beach and I learned that love is like a sunset. However, Phoenix had already taught me that.
While there have been too many Phoenix remixes to keep track of in 2k9, Animal Collective’s new one of the instrumental Amadeus track, “Love Like a Sunset,” has been the first in a while to [...]

Official Videos From Pitchfork Music Festival 09, Vampire Weekend and Animal Collective Full Sets

Because Pitchfork tends to be awesome on occasion, they posted up some great videos from last weekend’s Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago’s Union Park. Included are videos of Animal Collective and Vampire Weekend’s entire sets from the festival.
Below is VW doing “White Skies” from their upcoming sophomore LP, and AnCo doing one of the Top [...]

Animal Collective Bizarre “Summertime Clothes” Video

If that performance on Letterman was any indication, this was going to be a pretty fckng bizarre video. Frankly, this is why I’ve avoided Animal Collective for so many years. There’s a fine line between being weird and being weird for the sake of being weird. The truth is, this album is too incredible to [...]

Animal Collective Trick-or-Treat on Letterman With “Summertime Clothes”

Animal Collective bring some MPP awesomeness to Late Night, performing “Summertime Clothes” with lots of weird things (not including their completely normal cargo pants/hooded sweatshirts).
LOL @David Letterman: “Look for it in the wallpaper department of your store”/”Do we have anything for the trick-or-treaters?”
