Animal Collective - My Girls (Live 2007 Iowa)

[alvinissimo7]

You need Adobe Slabs to watch this video. Download it from Adobe.

mit Musik kann man ein Universum erschaffen :)

[cockroachbalogna]

Lyrics you suggested were alright, but "precious wait" is "freshest wave". like how people compete with eachother to have the best things when they dont really want them at all inside. "with heart" is "work hard" and "slabs" is "slats" but those are pretty similar.

Amazing song :D

[FalcnFerno]

i know what the problem is, why it doesn't sound so great live. each stage or place they perform, the sound is different of course. like this place they at. it's too echoey.  i like this song alot, but u can't hear much of anything..every noise made is clashing. sound waves just goin krazy all over in that place. how they got the speakers set in places would help a little. there are a bit of variations y it sounds like that. awesome band tho

[jhulax4]

i've seen them 3 times going back to 2005 and everytime i've been pretty disappointed. the shows are all fanboys tripping and you can tell they put the time into their production, not the live show. but i guess that's okay, the albums are incredible.

[merk22]

actually, if you take into consideration HOW they make their albums, which is usually recordings of them playing live, they place an emphasis on how it sounds LIVE. they are in essence, an environment-based band. i understand your dissappointment, but every band has bad days.

[merk22]

id have to disagree considering they try and make their albums all live - that is, its recorded live - atleast so im led to believe.

[RyanWatson]

I miss the old version of this song so much. I forgot how warm and shiny the vocals are.

[P4UL17]

wow man, i saw them live, absolutely friggen amazing. and im not just saying that. Cuz i'm not even a huge live listener. really just experience if u get the chance the video doesn't capture the amazingness of this song live.

[cmerenuge]

I agree with you. Just saw them live last night and it wasn't as great as I expected. The mix of everything was off and most of the show just felt very long and droning. And parts that could've been really explosive just kinda fell flat. They're better recorded than live in my opinion.

[joejjohnston]

I saw them live at green man and, although I love them, they were rubbish live

[JesusToastWhore2]

avey tare with a neck face shirt?!

[BendoGecko]

I disagree.

[gosterholt]

i don't believe they ever stated that THEY are the ONLY ONES who can operate those boards. however, they wrote the song so it is still an original idea. many people can write songs....

[schmitty3]

many people have the same equipment as animal collective and probably have the power inside themselves to

but i have never heard another artist or band make music the way AC does

[willywonka091]

if they can make it all the way out to fucking iowa, i had better be able to see them this year without having to drive far!

[bennehbennehbenneh]

I saw this in Leeds in the UK (by chance, due to avey being ill, so they were playing panda jams). I thought this was a panda jam?.

[harlemrebersance]

I saw this live at All Points West... I've never gotten the chills so hard in my life!! Amazing!!

[kzeromancer]

great lyrics

[ofarevolution441]

1/20/09!!! can't frickin' wait.

[whereartestaban]

I cant wait to hear this and Brother Sport recorded. I get chills when I think about how good the new album will be.

[streetlightkid72422]

haha coincidentally those are the only two that have leaked so far.

[lexxlecrisisIII]

its not that good

[streetlightkid72422]

what isn't... Brothersport? or My Girls? They both kick ass. I'm not sure what you're getting at.

[lexxlecrisisIII]

the rest of the album is not that good or as good.

[streetlightkid72422]

yea. ok. and what gives you that opinion?

[lexxlecrisisIII]

I listened to it and thats just how I feel. not saying its bad just the other tracks dont come close to my girls

[streetlightkid72422]

saying it's not that good is basically saying it's bad. I disagree with that, multiple songs exceed my girls on this album.

[gnomit]

agreed.. daily routine, taste, bluish, lion in a coma, summertime clothes all kick ass as well. its a solid album with no throwaway tracks.

[triton199]

man i missed seeing this in person, was in IA city right outside the picadors freaking door but they didnt sell tickets at the door only online so i didnt get to go! bummah

[dufflesj15]

how good is this song! they played this at the gig in London. Is there anywhere i can download this???

[schmitty3]

theres mp3's of it all over the forums

[loekust]

yay!

[ScurvyLouse]

House aka Material Things Is it much to admit I need A solid soul and the blood I bleed With a little girl, and by my spouse I only want a proper house I don't care for fancy things Or to take part in a precious race And children cry for the one who has A real big heart and a father's grace I don't mean to seem like I care about material things like a social status I just want four walls and adobe slabs for the girl

[broorno]

adobe slabs??

[tpNYU]

adobe is simply a type of clay used as a building material. meaning a very primitive, or basic form of shelter.

[kilon828]

By the way, this song is now called "Little Girl (I Don't Need)". Thanks so much for sharing this by the way!

[octopuscollective]

ahhh lyrics that seem accurate! thanks so much jangaboo. it seems like i can count on you for all things collected..

[Noseel]

If you get any of these tunes could you contact me, please. I Dont want to really wait 2 years for a new album. And who knows the tunes might be scrapped by then. The new material is unreal

[colbent]

i forget how cool their lyrics are sometimes

[baumbom]

regardless of title i still smile big for this song

[moonunderwater]

i want that damn hat!!

oh, and this song is so amazing, as is all of their new stuff..

[joet88]

it is a good hat.

[pastoryam12]

This song is called "House"

[bonsaiwalking]

i love this song

[dudemanboy]

[theboneykingofnoair]

Actually, there is a studio version of "Doggy". It's off of their CAMPFIRE SONGS album. The rest are all brand new, post-Strawberry Jam songs.

[camron1087]

[ourbrotherthenative]

Ooohhh, I remember when they played this one at the show in dallas. I have a feeling the new album will be top notch. thanks for posting this!
