Hello, this is Ticketmaster Customer Service with an important alert for your upcoming event. ANIMAL COLLECTIVE scheduled at THE MUSIC BOX @ THE FONDA on FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 2009, at 8:00 PM, has been postponed. Original tickets will be honored once the new date is announced.
and I wept….. I might be going to try and scalp some tickets tomorrow night at the Troubadour show…
I bought their album “Friends Opportunity” about a year back and was wholly unimpressed. I found it kind of annoying to be frank, so I was not that jazzed about the performance. Next thing you know I can barely keep my hands steady from the energy being pelted at my corpus callosum. The crowd was being set on fire by the guitars of John Dieterich and Ed Rodriguez ripping along side the heavy crescendos of Greg Saunier. I had heard their shows were a sight to behold from a friend who saw them at the LA Natural History Museum. I dont know why I doubt people. I feel as though I am failing to describe the essence of the show….but in a sentence, it was heavy yet hyper and my brain tripped over itself repeatedly in anticipation of the next riff from John. I wanted to jump, kick, scream and throw my camera into the wall. Instead I MTFU (thats for you Stone Junkie) and let the vibes run their course.
The video camera is right next to the drum (obviously), so sorry for the sound quality. I am asking for two minutes of your time today, just watch the first video from start to finish. FYI if you know the names to any of these songs I would greatly appreciate help.
This is where the term “Holy Toledo” came from.

The crowd was restless and my camera was being shifted in a wave of sweaty manliness. Listen to the guitar at 1:13 if nothing at all then heard me yelling.

No idea why the quality sucks on Youtube but I am out of upload space for the week at Vimeo.
