Deakin - Live at the Ottobar 1/1/10

[TheColorChris]

still waiting to hear that solo album dude..

[jorgersg7]

Deakin, you're the underdog bro, bro. Keep on rockin'

[nicky560]

Love the dude jamming on the right.  Wish it was me. That dude is flying.

[IRMoonlander]

00:35 <3 <3 <3 can't fucking wait for his solo debut!!!!

[twj008]

I honestly thought ODDSAC was definitely interesting but idk, not really my favorite. Does that make me a hipster? Not at all. Strawberry Jam is probably my favorite complete album from start to finish from AC.

Just because someone may like MPP or whatever album doesn't make them anything. Just agree that Animal Collective is a great band and let people enjoy what makes them happy regardless if you agree or not.

[StrangeClams]

@twj008 who gives a fuck this song is awesome

[booboonah]

looks enthralling haha

[shadowmongoose]

whoa this is incredible

[elysian1111]

ODDSAC separates the true Animal Collective fans from the hipsters who all joined the bandwagon around Strawberry Jam and Post Merriweather. ODDSAC is a great work of art. Where will the hipsters go next?

[aesrp]

@elysian1111 Hmm? Just music, who cares who listens to it?

[linoproductions1]

@elysian1111

Well I dunno if you should say that, I mean I started listening to animal collective early this year by hearing merriweather, and I loved oddsac :S

[Grievous129]

I cant wait for a Deakin solo album!

[willlliw]

does this have a title?

[GrandMasterPerp]

does this song have a name?

[ProfessorAlbatross]

they are all part of oddsac for sure, not sure how much musical contribution they all had though.

[flearman]

i really liked AC better when deakin was playing guitar on such albums as feels and here comes the indian. strawberry jam took a turn for the worse with a little less of his cool guitarplaying and then no guitarplaying with deakin at all on MPP. AC are way to pop and easylistened nowadays. it's a shame. i hope their next album goes back to their noise/freak folk/tribal-roots. here comes the indian was their fuckin peak i albums IMO. it's a masterpiece.

[TheLeakySon]

@flearman you clearly haven't seen or listened to ODDSAC. I don't think they've even peaked yet. In popularity... maybe, due to the "way too pop" atmospheres of Merriweather Post Pavilion. What you view as a pop album is still quite experimental for many. While its your opinion, I have to say I disagree.

[flearman]

@TheLeakySon

nope i listen to the songs from oddsac first yesterday and i really liked it. it reminds me of the good ol stuff. like a mixture of the old and the stuff on fall be kind. but deakin was not involved in oddsac was he? i can't hear any of his cool guitars. hopefully oddsac will scare all the fuckin hipsters away.

[LazyDaysSD]

@flearman DUDE he's the damn vampire that eats people!!!!

[MrBlalalalla]

@flearman here comes the indian was their peak? MWPP poppy? these are ridiculous statements. *HIPSTER ALERT*

[flearman]

@MrBlalalalla to quote someone: "ODDSAC separates the true Animal Collective fans from the hipsters who all joined the bandwagon around Strawberry Jam and Post Merriweather.". what i was sayin is that mwpp was easy listened but still "avant garde" in the ears of a fuckin hipster. now with ODDSAC, the hipsters will get scared and destroy another band instead.

now you claim that MWPP wasn't easy listened pop? Here comes the indian was their peak in my personal opinion.

[MrBlalalalla]

@flearman by older AC standards, i can see MWPP as less avant garde, but to the new listener its still weird. calling something poppy puts a stigma on it, making it sound like britney spears. and you cant call any of their music a so called "peak". all of thier albums from spirit, danse, campfire songs, HCTI, SJ are completely different. SJ is nothing like MPP other than more use of keys. what made me say hipster, is by your favoritism of the most avant garde, less vocally concentrated albums.

[thisisrobertb]

honestly sounds like he could blow panda out of the solo album water...

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

@thisisrobertb agreed, this stuff is actually the shit, and panda bear, especially his new stuff, doesnt have that great of solo material, person pitch is good, but this stuff is the shit

[90sbaby92]

i love his jitteriness

[brintstene]

this is so good

[seminole91091]

yiuuuuu

[Aarainarain]

Is anyone else excited for a deacon solo album?

[LazyDaysSD]

@Aarainarain can you please tell me where i can find any works of deakin anywhere? i can't seem to find it anywhere.

[magikman93]

@Aarainarain Yea man im really excited for any hard physical copies of any of deakins work. I went an seen him in Charlotte North Carolina at a little place called the Evening Muse, really small venue. I went with a pod of friends, and it seemed like we were the only ones enjoying it. It was amazing. It made me want to give life to something like i felt natural. I dont know, my friend said he thought it was "Thick and Creamy" Gahh but anyway it was fucking awesome. Cant wait for a solo album!

[xredhenx]

@Aarainarain you spelled his name wrong

[bunzigga]

Brilliant

[nicky560]

Get back with the Collective!!!

[Radiobed]

That guitar sounds so beautiful.

[Danigomez92]

I met him, hes a really chill dude. He only talked about his solo stuff and how he loves experimenting with new instruments and singing

[capnkraus]

waaahhh missing his show in chicago :(

[tinasthemeyay]

I can't wait for his solo record to be released! Ahhhhhhh!

[TheDivineAberration]

@tinasthemeyay when is it coming out!? will that be his first?

[nciviero]

I kind of felt bad for him, for sitting out on the most successful (critically and in terms of sales) animal collective album, but if this is what he was writing instead, I think it was worth it.

[Shibokuhidesato]

@nciviero Just imagine when he meets back up with them o_0

[TehEMan]

That sounded pretty damn cool

[Jangaboo]

if you're in front row like that is it weird to make eye contact with the musician? that one guy in hood keeps looking down

[r3dk9]

Not weird.

[mur8a]

I like this. I wish he would keep his name as Deakin though, since his new one's so similar to dan deacon.

[MichaVids]

im curious to hear his vocals recorded. if it sounds different then avey and panda it would be sweet to hear all 3 of them sing on the next ac record.

although i am digging this. anyone know when he releases his solo record?

[waylonjeepers]

@MichaVids, the first song in ODDSAC is Josh on vocals, and it's suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuchhhhhhh a rad song. His solo stuff, i have no clue.

[kalacitis]

cant stand those pandabea style vocals :[. remember 2002 pure energy Animal Collectives (three of them with out Geo) gig in Dublin warming up Mum (isn't funny?), then Josh was really great doing such a various new soundscapes . that was really powerfull. now its unfortunately sounds tired

[thenick327]

reminds me of durutti column

pretty stuff

[plutonash]

Yayyyyyy! He sounds great...psyched for his solo album.

[waterhearing]

Deakin is sorely missed. This sounds great by the way. : ))))))))

[pantsface32]

seriously AwEASome
