[allUneedISLove420]

[rocketguy123]

i love animal collective

[thaddeusbuc]

avey's rvca shirt..awesome

[GodWorse]

They're such an uncool band, all they have is their music. I love how they're seemingly unconcerned with their appearance and just focus on what matters: THE MUSIC, MAN!

[MonsieurRondu]

@GodWorse lol

[kingdavidek]

Smokey Chicken in my pants.

[MCVenarse]

The interviewer makes some rather creepy faces. Seems like a cool dude, though

[NERDFREAKINGPOWER]

Are they still touring?

[terriblelove1]

Avey's hat.

[zildjiandrummer1]

@terriblelove1 him and his hats...

[Re8eccAlice]

Speak to me, Panda!

[frgrgfrdf]

2:33 comfort? comfort!? why do you run for it? why can't you keep doin' what you're s'posed to do?

[TheTechnoTurtle]

I love Geo's chubby cheeks!!

[nge1301]

LOL at 2:15 geo moves his head panda moves his lips and avey speaks... and then they all look at each other

[shtfckazz]

[dynospectrum]

[rep757npay]

I'm kicking myself for missing them at MPP. WHY AM I SO STUPID!?

[RipeKiwi17]

@rep757npay Dudeee I was at that show and it was one of the best shows I've been too! If they come around again in the future you haaave to see them.

[obCEAssed]

[hippopie123]

[WHATSHOULDOURNAMEBE]

Thanks for the interview, Luke Skywalker.

[Oallright]

You guys act like you have no idea who John Norris is haha.

[brittanygotspockets]

ahaha xD everyone is being an anus about the interviewer. he's a cool interviewer. he's enthusiastic, he knows what he's talking about and he takes a general interest in their music, even though 2/3 of the group are practically brain dead, pissy buttholes through the entire interview. i mean so whaaat if he's old and looks like a crackhead? that don't matter. (:

[lablakelydress]

@brittanygotspockets "practically brain dead, piss buttholes" seriously? do you even like/know the band?

[alliant]

@brittanygotspockets

dude they're private guys, and this was the first time in their lives that they had such widespread acclaim. this interview was the longest and most thorough post mpp interview. forgive them for being uncomfortable and quiet.

[SoftCoreSeziure]

The interviewer looks like a 50 year old zac effron with a crack habit.

[mushymaple]

I love how fucking excited Panda and Geo are with the interview.

[popomczowzow]

lovin this intro

[Magicaluke]

All these John Norris comments are cracking me up haha. He's a good interviewer, You've got to admit.

[masonhheat]

@Magicaluke dude you can't even understand his questions because he doesn't finish a thought.

[newcolorsmusic]

john norris looks like junkie with a college degree

[blurrillaz]

the interviewer looks like flea's brother from RHCP

[ilikeponie]

Can someone seriously explain to me why everyone hates the interviewer?

[AlexFernandes789]

@ilikeponie cause he's like 60 but he acts and dresses like he's 16

[coolnesss16]

@AlexFernandes789 that wasn't serious

[rep757npay]

john norris looks like a zombified jim carrey

[assholester]

seriously its refreshing to see an actual journalist and not some talentless, uninterested indie chick interviewing these bands.

[iamjoedubois]

JOHN NORRIS!

[contrastively]

2:04

[imjohnandyouare]

Panda Bear has a cub????

[tidypeaches]

I like John Norris, with our generation laying more on the ass-hole sarcastic side, its nice when actual musical journalists maintain excitement about bands through the years. He's a bit middle school girlish with some interviews, but at least he asks good questions and obviously researches.

[OdeToNecrophilia]

i cant stop fuckign laughing because of this fucking retard interviewer! ahhh!

[didyouseethatunicorn]

why is everyone so bummed on an actual journalistic interviewer?

[GuyInZeeCorner]

Sloth on a bicycle. Wat.

[funny1hahaha]

wasnt this faggy interviewer from mtv?

[TheStevehixn]

Holy shit. I dont think I've ever seen John Norris this star-struck in the whole time I've been watching him (since the late 80s).

[avedic]

wow...i figured john norris was dead or something. 50 year old men should not look like a member of MGMT

[platypae333]

@avedic Is that an insult to MGMT...

[DropDeadCouture]

@SeanIsaacBillings what?

[7Feet12]

HOW CAN 6 PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS!

[BIendtec]

THEY DO NOT SMILE

[princessdaleeee]

Look at all the butt hurt AC fans upset by an interviewer actually doing is job without any bias by constructively critiquing them.

[pezgraph]

When/Where did John Norris get that haircut??

[youmoko]

@SeanIsaacBillings lmao

[gotblow15]

is just me or does the interviewer look like kevin bacon

[oasisforever00]

@gotblow15 Or the grinch also...

[codeninja100]

@gotblow15

its the nose

[DamicsBaby]

@gotblow15 so much like kevin bacon

[wallymeldrum]

@gotblow15 yeah and panda looks like brian wilson haha

[Banjokazooiemaster]

@gotblow15 omfg You're right.

[NERDFREAKINGPOWER]

@gotblow15 It's Kevin Fucking Bacon!

[Wcburg1]

WTF get braces mr. norris

[ScarTissue111907]

@Wcburg1 lay off man, don't be a dick.

[Wcburg1]

lol i love 6:51-6:53 avey tare strokes his non-existent beard

[oasisforever00]

@Wcburg1 hahahahaha yeah!!!

[BunionMann]

Panda Bear looks really uncomfortable in this interview.

[kenrben]

Pause at any given moment when the camera is pointed at John Norris.

[quillber]

geologist has always come off as the snarky hipster of group. maybe something to do with being dispensable.

[LazyDaysSD]

@quillber that's such bullshit. none of them are dispensable. even deakin!

[quillber]

@LazyDaysSD well his main duty was fiddling about with a sampler. then panda picked up the sampler and......

[coolnesss16]

@quillber how the hell is he dispensable?

[freakystylntime]

Panda bear is adorable.

[yoohToober69]

@freakystylntime agreed (:

[mrfjonk]

the interviewer kinda looks like flea with a wig

[Xcalator35]

John Norris is the most boring interviewer of all times!! I was almost sleeping by minute two...

[Velvetgoldmine92]

6:52 Avey Tare wishes he had a fu manchu 

[pocketmouse11]

oh my godudishfiudshfiudshf i died at 5:59 i'm crying

[LITTLER0CKAR]

groups of 3 aren't good...two usually team up against 1...these guys better never split.

[Velvetgoldmine92]

lol @ 7:04 Panda Bear 

[TrophyBass12]

What a terrible interviewer. He doesn't "get" Animal Collective. He thinks that people hate AC almost to the degree that critics love them.

[cmatthews926]

It's funny that animal collective has made some pretty creepy music (not in a bad way), and the band looks genuinely creeped out by John Norris lmfao.

[laloali2]

look at that gap tooth. c'mon, brush much?

[UpperCrustthe3rd]

I love how Avey is always wearing a ridiculous hat. lol.

[TrophyBass12]

@UpperCrustthe3rd Panda needs a hair wash

[samsanineteenseventy]

holy shit it's gary busey

[westcyderydin]

give this guy credit. he's an interview who is also a fan. otherwise it would get anoying

[TrophyBass12]

@westcyderydin I don't think he's a fan

[hotttarheeldude]

chill out on the john norris dissing. he seems to be very happy he got the chance to interview them

[TrophyBass12]

@hotttarheeldude He's a bad interviewer though

[shadowmongoose]

hahaha they're just thinking, "who the fuck is this Kevin Bacon looking mother fucker? Let's go eat some butter."

[thelemurfool]

What is Panda Bear holding?

[daydreaming92]

JOHN NORRIS :) AnCo rule

[smallcretzuli]

The woman who's interviewing them is a retard.

[bubblepopelictric]

they fucking suck live

[yoohToober69]

@bubblepopelictric D: how could you say such things?!?!

[TheJigga321]

Ooooughhhh its THIS guy again! Damn you John Norris!

[arehumansgood]

geologist looks like he doesnt wanna be there at all lol

[madsketcher]

I want the one in the middle!

[madsketcher]

Oh John, what did you DO to your hair!?

[wavepopART208]

hahahahaha Bickford Shmeckler all the way!!!!

[lepubicfrenchy6]

Panda kinda looks like Bickford Shmeckler lol

[tabber87]

I didn't know Jack White was in this band...

[Tiphareth23]

Great musicians - wow Panda Bear is cute

[g0pi3]

@Tiphareth23 PANDA BRS MY FRIGGEN FANTASSSSSSSSSYYYYYYYYY. LAWL.

[yassymeeny]

Oh please, you just don't like him because he's on MTV. Whether you like this band or not, you cannot deny a lack of charisma in their personalities while giving this interview. Norris did fine, I'm afraid the fault lies in these boring blokes.

[nicky560]

They're probably stoned and sick of the same questions.

[MrHerostratus]

i think its more like they're high.

[ChimichangaCongo]

god damn panda's adorable

[Rzarectar]

God I love these guys. When you hear a band like this, whose music is the way it is, the band interviews are usually phony, with the band trying to act weird and putting on a show to look they're not normal people. These guys are so normal, and polite, its refreshing. They let their music speak for itself.

[Zerrith]

@Rzarectar Very true. I like the show that they put on though a lot of the time. Kurt Cobain was always pretty funny.

[NicoleKidA]

I love Avey's shirt. Panda is adorable as always.

The interviewer's hair scares me.

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

@NicoleKidA the teeth/hair combo freaks me out lol

[NicoleKidA]

lol i think you're right 1:31

[lilcha85]

his hair has always been weird over the years!

[1080portal]

merriweather is a brand new sound

[ShawnIsAnAsshole]

it seems the genius is always the quiet one:)

[diego58]

no jodas que gorro tan feo

gran banda

[ChimichangaCongo]

@diego58

feo en su opinion

[Jalkotsu]

sooooo ugly. the interviewer, I mean. It kind of annoys me

[gunnarnizzler]

mean

[Jalkotsu]

I know... I feel bad now

He was a nice person overall, I guess

[ChimichangaCongo]

we're feeling totally non-superficial today i see

[Jalkotsu]

hahaha... I'm sorry, I'm usually not that much of dick, I promise.

[twineacle]

why did some journalist give out his number!? what a dick!

[GuitarGod7878]

is it me or does panda bear kinda look like edward scissor hands?..O_o

[radioheadz91]

he reminds me of a turtle. much less some kind of bear.

[gerard8989]

he says merriweather post pabbilion and the start

[SilentEcho33]

why is panda bears hair wet?

[needmodestmouse]

yeah, I hate the interviewer.

[albieeats]

O and and filthy hat aves hahaha

[albieeats]

"Rave ready tunes"? HAhahah hardly.

[murmaider668]

[HelloNewYorkCity]

lol panda bear isn't saying anything for the first few minutes

[yoohToober69]

pause at 5:59

[daydreaming92]

@yoohToober69 HAHAHA...that's good, i didn't notice it before but rewind it and hahaha, just tops.

[TonyTheTiger673]

@yoohToober69 Gives me the chills

[Velvetgoldmine92]

@yoohToober69

7:36 is so much scarier

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

@yoohToober69 i laughed so hard haha

[Exeron91]

@yoohToober69 Oh my god, Is this how it feels to have a heart attack?!

[freakystylntime]

@yoohToober69 More like... 6:01.

[DropDeadCouture]

@yoohToober69 what is it?

[yoohToober69]

John Norris cries himself to sleep at night because he secretly wishes he was Chuck.

[popoking729]

the interviewer kind of looks like rick mccrank, but the only difference is rick isnt a faggot and this interviewer is.

[gosk8n]

Geologist is the KEWLEST!

[WhimsicalBrit]

GOSH DANG the interviewer is annoying.

[iyaytot]

please stop focusing on the goddamn interviewer. it's getting annoying.

[summervets]

AC are just too cool for this interviewer...move on old man XD

[allycandance]

i like how geologist is rolling his eyes the whole time haha

[colininnaclub]

john norris is a creepy bro

[Zerrith]

@colininnaclub How's he creepy?? I don't mind him at all.. Usually interviewers suck.

[aarondkeogh]
