[TheMichiganSkater]

Panda talked!

[OdeToNecrophilia]

oh come on john norris! accesible isn't a dirty word, poopie kind of is though

[bubmaterial]

haha.. 2:48

[MichaelMikeMcgregor]

this interviewer asks the STUPIDEST questions....

[heybolt]

Fucking Kevin Bacon...

[g0pi3]

no0o0o0o0a9a9a9hhhhhhh <33

[g0pi3]

@palbo4 yeah, me either. gawd, I lo0o0ove them. :) :) <3

[Lasureaz]

these guys are as great as radiohead to me

[bbofu]

Panda is so beautiful

[42darklord]

panda bear sounds like a cartoon

[g0pi3]

are they be vegetarians?? anybody know? thnx

[palbo4]

@g0pi3 lol i wouldn't be surprised

[nokturnal5647]

Avey Tare seems like the coolest one. Panda Bear seems like the quiet one. Geologist, to me, seems like a douchebag here.

[wannaseemyw4ng]

avey tare's fucking hat hahaha

[iamjoedubois]

what is panda holding? xD

[TheMarsVo1ta]

@iamjoedubois Its their mic they have to wear for the interview. Panda's just holding the module thing in his hand

[thePeb112]

They're so genuine, it's really beautiful and it makes me love their music even more

[TheScriabin]

Merriweather launched them into the public eye more than its predecessors cos its got pretty tunes, beats and you can sing to it. Same reason any record is successful.

[ATHFILMSFTW]

6:00 Avey doesnt have a clue what Johns talking about haha

[7Feet12]

Nobody says silly anymore!

[jumaxe]

I have a huge man crush on Noah Lennox.

[platypae333]

@jumaxe I'm not a man but if I were, me too.

[soulseeker300]

aveys faces in this interview are hilarious.

[pezgraph]

John dont have it like he used to when he was on MTV

[s3n0jkc1n]

It's not a dirty word, it's just not a word...we use very...often

[TheMaxlow]

the interviewer almost speaks more than the band.and panda bear just dosnt speak.

[Ball50f5teal]

they all look stoned to me

[BRIANisALRIGHT]

avey is a smart guy

[platypae333]

@BRIANisALRIGHT They all are.

[freakystylntime]

It seems like the interviewer is trying to make himself out to seem way more intelligent and knowledgable than he is about music. Hes trying to make the interview all about him. By asking boring ass questions. That completely bore them to answer.

[negativecreep1991]

Goddamn Panda Bear turning me into a faggot.

**swoon**

[siteswaper531]

I'm pretty unimpressed with John Norris here... "Was that a deliberate calculation to make it more pleasant?" What sort of answer did he expect?

[TrophyBass12]

Panda is spacing out 1:27

[laloali2]

panda bear looks like dwight shrute. fact: bears beat battlestar gallagtica

[TrophyBass12]

@laloali2 That was on TV last night.

Question: What is the best bear?

Answer: Panda Bear

[UpperCrustthe3rd]

Panda finally fields a question at 2:08. LOL.

And the interviewer; his hair is the hair of a 10 year old boy.

[AzureChaoss]

avey tare is so ugly, and panda bear is so... perfect o_O

[owakie]

@AzureChaoss "avey tare is so ugly" - wtf o_0

[freakystylntime]

@AzureChaoss They're all perfect. Fuck you. 

[westcyderydin]

don't be suprised if there next album is totally different than merriweather post-pavilion

[hussellreilman]

merriweather is good but the abrasive stuff is still the best

[Danigomez92]

Panda hits the nail on the head at 2:05

[kentman86]

avey tare looks like mark ruffalo :P

[spreadyalikecheese]

panda bear and avey seem to nod at the same time. ha. cute.

[almostham]

what the hell kind of interviewer is this he gets a point across and can't ask a question

[wonderwallmusic]

lol Geologist at 4:50

[CalebCallister]

@wonderwallmusic hahahaha, the face he makes hahaha

[Samada88]

I don't think that the interview is that bad really.

panda bear is so cute at 6:25 !! love them all.

[mullingman]

animal collective make music exclusively for pretentious douchebags.

[ryansully89]

i'm a huge fan of AC, but to say the interviewer is stupid and bad is ridiculous. AC obviously does not want to be there. I understand if you want to keep your private life safely guarded, but fuck atleast put some personality and enthusiasm into talking about the music you love to make. Panda Bear reminds me of the most insecure person from high school

[mlpayne89]

john norris is like fans competition leak hype, and there as subtly as possible saying, we do not give a fuck what anyone thinks, and john norris just doest get it and keeps asking stupid questions.

[SGPdesy]

2:26: to me it seems that john norris wants to kiss panda bear!

i mean, how he looks at him.

as if he dreams of a kiss at that moment... muhahaha :D

[DekutheGreatku]

lol true

[Jangaboo]

around 5:20 ish they talk about competition, rivalry and trying to prove whats better musically .

is that just something we humans do cuz it sucks...even over nothing i try to compete for bestness on stuff, i wish i didn't

they say they don't do that...i wonder how they stopped or maybe they just weren't raised like that

[TeethTeethEyes]

good question, i wonder how they stopped and withdrew from and sort of want or need to compete with other bands, maybe they inspire eachother and don't allow the band to become their lives.

[vintagedrgonzo]

i wonder if anyone has ever leaned in to norris and told him he's a dumbass. maybe it would help.

[ShittyUtopia]

This dude is boring as shit. People who listen to animal collective arent 80 year old philosophers and care about this stuff.

[wildcomfort88]

this cunt of a interviewer reminds me of flea from RHCP but more of a dickhead

[robotboner]

wow john norris is such a bad interviewer.  he talks about the most BOING stupid shit.

[Filmwarr]

does Avey really need to hold that lav reciever? lol

[Malchickiwick17]

Panda Bear's hair is hella greasy.

[swimmergal321]

mpp= 200091950892 ahead of yellow house

[wooboy11]

ahmm i don't think they use enough drugs nowadays to actually show up to a 40 minutes interview opium dazed...

[JamesGrady2]

panda is trippin

[tone2thebone]

i think you'll find John Norris is the one who's trippin

[guntforsure]

panda bear looks like hes going to throw up. or is in an opium daze.

[swimmergal321]

he was sick on this tour

[JustusTubes]

avey admitted to leaking the album.

[thediskotree]

all their legs are crossed away from norris. body language says it all hahah

[rufdogshavebumps]

they could just be right footed??

you can kinda tell though that theyre like...this dude just does not get it.

[aachafin]

was john harris on mtv once.

[ciaomydarling]

God, I hate John Norris.

[koorukukukoo]

2:03-2:08

[freakystylntime]

@koorukukukoo That was so adorable. They are so in sync with eachother. They are all surprisingly shy and reserved too. Completely opposite from their music.

Reading the youtube comments on this video made me laugh so hard.

[VeryAmpersand]

I love Geo.

He just makes me understand, y'know?

[NathantheCynic]

The interviewer is perfectly fine. What exactly are you all bitching about?

[TheBlackWelshman]

i agree, much better than them being on letterman or something. john norris has decent music taste whether you like him or not.

[wooboy11]

they hate him just because he was on mtv..

he does his job nicely, i dare to say even better than most.

[halfemptysmile]

Panda Bear hit the nail on the head with his response at 2:02 - 2:46 ish in regards to why there has been such a response with MPP as opposed to their earlier work. More accessible is the word I use in describing MPP. Its not a bad album by any stretch but it certainly isnt my favorite.

On another note, this interview/interviewer is shit.

[4Colours]

Spirit is the best album. Then MPP.

[veggiesoup16]

their muzik makes me smile

[Hersheyhug28]

from what i can see is that animal collective are just making music the way they want to expressive. obviously there is an audience for that, which is why us fans like them.

[14AMADEO14]

1- MPP and person pitch

2- Feels

3- Strawberry Jam

4- All others AC rocks!

[alexanderj1986]

sung tongs is pretty sick

[alexanderj1986]

Bear eats host.

[snackatacker]

and no music is comparable on any level, comparing things is ignant

[snackatacker]

hes just asking them questions to make them seem more removed then they actually are

[Chad63092]

Panda's hair looks soooooo nice here

[Jangaboo]

panda bear must be part vampire because he doesn't age

people who also are vegetarians don't age very fast or people who eat oatmeal lots

i eat oatmeal

[Hersheyhug28]

watermelons also slow aging. i'm crazy bout watermelons!

[mandotines9]

@Jangaboo panda is vegatarian?

[TrophyBass12]

@mandotines9 He eats mostly Bamboo

[StuHutch]

@Jangaboo fucking oath i love oatmeal

[jovenmedia]

@Jangaboo comment's like this are why I love you tube.

I like eggs.

[freakystylntime]

@Jangaboo That was endearing of you.

[owlertheprowler]

@Jangaboo does cereal count???

[litlcielo]

this interview is awful... So repetitive

[innatedelicacy]

They always say: it's always the quiet ones you gotta' watch out for.

[bronsonallen]

no, it's just their music is so wild, passionate, and eccentric, it's weird to see it coming from these very quiet, shy dudes. It's totally fine, just odd.

[john6111]

word.. i see what your saying.. you gotta love pandas face at 6:24

[bronsonallen]

they are so unenthusiastic... opposite of their music

[john6111]

you want them to backflip off johns nose and shit
