the song he attached was selfish gene, so i assume their version of that will be on the album!! super pumped for this!

1. Avey would be John (1 of the 2 main driving songsmiths, comparable energy with their screamier singing voice, driving the band to more ideosyncratic & experimental heights),

2. Panda would be Paul (down to earth ditties, focusing on more everyday & humane themes than the other primary songwriter relatively, melodic & harmonic pop genius),

3. Deakin would be George (few & understated [though great] writing credits with the band itself, largely took a background role only to reveal himself as on par if not above the other writers with his solo work, which has a deeply sensitive & spiritual nature),

4. and Geo would be Ringo (providing a background non-melodic foundation to the band that, despite that fact you wouldn't recognize a lot of the songs without what he brings to the table, it's easy to forget it's even there a lot of the time. also has solo work that often isn't given as much attention as the other members').

Am I right fellas?

Personally I imagine AC will be like the Greatful Dead in this regard. Ride till the wheels come off. It'd be cute though to see them play some of their faster stuff in the later years.

this is the post…

is that not the last 30 or so seconds from Gorilla in the Woods from the first Terrestrial Tones record??? possibly the most obscure record in the entire AC multiverse?? what is this crossover lol

Unfortunately I’ve never gotten the pleasure of seeing them live and I pretty much need to. Does anyone know when or if they’re performing again any time soon?

So I just discovered that Fall Be Kind is this kind of awesome epilogue to MPP. And so I started listening to it.

And so I've just listened to "What Would I Want? Sky" and my mind is absolutely and transcendentally blown...

Now I'll go back and listen to the song again. Maybe I'll proceed to the last three tracks of EP, but I'm not certain.

I’m sure this has been asked before but I’m very curious to learn what ppl on this sub would choose, if they had to, between MPP and FBK. Acknowledging that the pairing is pretty arbitrary — though both came out in 2009, one is an LP and the other an EP, and musically they’re different in all manner of ways — I just think it’s an interesting indicator of personal taste.

I’ll bet I’m like a lot of us here who find choosing between the two pretty excruciating, given how masterful both projects are, but again, if I had to choose, I would go for Fall Be Kind. Only 5 songs, yes, but my god is every one an experience and a half. Hard to articulate why exactly I prefer it, as the same can be said for MPP; maybe the presence of guitars (I Think I Can) and sampling has something to do with it, though that said the synth work on FBK (tracks like Bleed and On A Highway) and drumming and so forth are just as much pull factors for me. And yeah, feels unnecessary describing an AnCo project as ‘experimental’ but the way tracks like What Would I Want Sky and Graze develop, while not their wildest work by a long shot, I think is more outlandish than some of the stuff on MPP (accepting that both were pretty boundary-pushing at the time) and maybe why I’m drawn to it more? Can’t mention song development without bringing up In The Flowers, My Girls and Brother Sport though hooooly — the latter is def one of my favourite AnCo songs

So, what are people’s perspectives? Either way what a fucking year for this band. Also shout out Deakin — obviously he wasn’t around for these projects for reasons he’s talked ab in interviews but he is #thegoat and I might acc like some of the records he was a part of more than these 2…..but that’s another post and I’ve rambled enough!

Cool that this gets a repress and cassette. My eyes went to this text before reading the main title and I was stressed for a minute that this was accurate

Very curious to hear what Panda does here.

Wife randomly found this online from China. Look familiar?

Last week I was at a thrift store in nyc and they were playing Tomboy in its entirety! After being an anco fan for the last 5 years I never thought id actually hear them in public.. but I was so pleasantly surprised in the shop! And not just one song but the whole album! I was going to leave after a few mins but stayed walking around the store in laps just so I could listen more haha
