Animal Collective "Grass" Fatcat Records

[Ognathon]

I just turned into an octopus, and I fucking hate this shit because my brain just can't process it. I'm too busy trying to control all my tentacles, I can't be overstimulated like this.

[VstKtothespacebear]

Bad trippin' ... This song is awsome !

[FAUSTGHOUL]

[JackSterne]

I just turned 147 and this makes me feel more alive than when I was 13.

[Petrograd1918]

Holy Jesus Christ on Rice this is goooood.

[obethel19]

i just turned 98 and i think this is really good stuff. i believe this music is better than alot of the old stuff i listen too. it is the sound of art.

[PokemonRawksBrah]

This freaks my bean! Incredible song.

[PLeasureJet]

Artist: Animal Collective.

Genre: Animal Collective

[ThisIsLouella]

@TheVampireFeed yes, I know. But if you'd take notice, the comment was made a while ago during a debate in which people were making comparisons between the two.

[lalax0lauren]

why the mgmt hate? i love both these bands... why not just like the art mgmt creates and the art animal coll makes? don't even compare the two

[jamescracksthesky]

@sanvitch121 exactly, it really pisses me the fuck off when I go to listen to some of my favorite music on youtube and people are talking shit.

[SpunkysInOTown]

da da da da da da da da da da da da

[Whidmark]

POW NOW POW NOW POW NOW

[miltonatchet]

doesnt pianist from mum play in animal collective or some shit?

[typedbiscuit]

@miltonatchet Mum's frontwoman, Kría Brekkan, was married to Avey Tare and contributed to their album Feels. She's credited as Doctess.

[miltonatchet]

@typedbiscuit ahhh i see, cool! thank you very much for the info :)

[typedbiscuit]

@miltonatchet No problem. she's a total babe btw hah

[theloveway100]

Animal Collective+MGMT=Fried Brain

[fadoodle100]

@theloveway100 lol i like both of those bands no wonder my brother calls me stupid

[ThisIsLouella]

@platypae333 The comment was posted at a time when people were saying that the two were rather similar. I didn't make the initial comparison.

[VulpinFoxyFinnland]

why are we commenting about mgmt on an anco video?

[tedyposzli]

best song ever

[Caustic13]

no mgmt is not even close to ac. too bad so sad.

[Galoag2012]

00:00 replay button :)

[Galoag2012]

@SeanIsaacBillings let's do one of those youtube bands. i have a synth and two guitars i like to make music. :)

haha i can't believe you also like Tame Impala that's like my favorite band bro.

[sophiiaballerina]

animal collective sounds like life . better yet , it sounds like LIVING .

[Galoag2012]

@SeanIsaacBillings hell yeah i have... i love animal collective.. it's a personal thing ya know?

well in that case you should by yourself a synth and start making your own music. art it's everywhere and it comes from the heart and your mind and heart create weird/awesome things. and if you love yeasayer bro you sirrr have an awesome taste in music.

[Galoag2012]

@SeanIsaacBillings maybe you need a toke brother, who knows?... or go for a walk in the park and listen to the music.

I think animal collective makes sound waves that can alter my mood and my heart. but then again we are all different.

try YEASAYER... they're pretty good too.

[Galoag2012]

@SeanIsaacBillings what? if your comment was a sin God would never forgive you man.

[SammyL0k]

simple pleasures.

[ThisIsLouella]

@allofyou, I had to put other people into line. I agree completely with @bringmyriathehorizon, @papacutie1 and @85mariapatricia. Long live Animal Collective, may MGMT lose their buzz.

[PsychoLemonpie]

I can never tell who's singing...avey tare or panda bear? hehe

[bringmyriathehorizon]

@ThisIsLouella They don't even make the same music.

[IrvinP92]

I Superlove the director.

[sparkomatic]

Thanks everyone for the kind feedback! I've been toying around with an acoustic version of this song, with banjo. I'll try to find the time to do it and post it. Be well.

[Sepiatonedskies]

Sex.

[Laura1123xox]

I love this album and this is my favourite song off of it. I can replay it over and over again and never get tired of it. :)

[halan47]

animal stoner collective

[unheardcky]

is this song about what i think it's about

[imjohnandyouare]

sparkomatic is my hero

[nicky560]

Ideal road trip song.

[whatareyoudoingbabs]

watch?v=KJ9QNq3qV5c

watch another vid for it (:

[Neroscot]

The world are small for the capitalists...

[sophiecompagnie]

Favour song, favor video. Love them!

[bomber12901290]

Terrible

[JRAY175]

Wiz Khalifa brought me here

[imjohnandyouare]

@JRAY175 His horrible music brought you to the greatness of Animal Collective?

[parnowihavetogoblind]

@JRAY175 he brings me everywhere

[skezzbox]

My buddy showed me Animal Collective about three years ago after i had taken about 35mg of Psilocin

needless to say the beauty i heard made my day

Fav band for sure

[jamrockification]

wake up turn on animal collective smoke a bowl :) life is good

[AwsmJo]

Why are animal collective not as famous or as known as they should be?!

[MissSurealist]

@AwsmJo

It's not considered mainstream :( just the way the cookie crumbles I'm afraid.

[hummanbird14]

i love this gays! their music is so fresh! is perfect for me!

[dickrobot]

@hummanbird14  likewise.

[sicofitall]

I swear since the first time I heard this song, I still think it's one of the most amazing crazy things I've ever heard.

[TimeWaave]

there is something exhilarating about this song

[cheesestateskatefilm]

calling this alternative is an insult compared to some of the other shit deemed alternative

[sparkomatic]

I'm a 43 year-old guitar player, steeped in classic rock, grateful dead, bluegrass, etc but I have always had an appetite for real creative art, and folks, that's what this is. At first I found it amusing and just plain odd, but clearly art. Now it's growing on me as music. I'll bet there aren't too many old geezers like me capable of listening to this stuff. but I really like this song. i'm about to listen for the third time in a row.

[LukeShetler]

@sparkomatic Hell yea man. I'm linking this song to some guy in a Pixies comment section who says there are no good bands these days. I hope I can be young at 43, like you. Stay open minded~

[Scarrr]

@sparkomatic You're my hero. :')

[bezwaarlijketruffel]

@sparkomatic 2 guys of animal collective said in an interview that they were big fans of grateful dead. they also sampled a part of the rythym section of the grateful dead song unbroken chain in their song what do i want sky. Maybe you did uncounsiously hear some of grateful dead back in animal collective's music and fell in love. or maybe you fell in love with it anyway :)

[sparkomatic]

@bezwaarlijketruffel I don't think I heard any actual Dead music...I'll check that song out though! I think they represent what I call the "artistic spirit" that the GD also embodied. A bold determination to strike out into new ground. To do things differently in every way. They organize themselves differently than the norm. They operate differently, There music sounds different and also takes on new forms.

[sparkomatic]

@bezwaarlijketruffel ps--the opening line of this song "I've been walkin on feet just like my father's" reminds me of the line from grateful dead franklin's tower "Your eyes look from your mother's face." a reference to the genetic links passed down through the generations.

[drunkfunkmonkey]

@sparkomatic youre the man man

[lusternoky]

@sparkomatic ...You're one of the smart ones I can tell :)

[SammyL0k]

@sparkomatic My 60 year old Dad loves these jams.

[speedmetal99]

@sparkomatic

You sir, you are what is right in the world.

[nhcrank]

@sparkomatic The fact you loved it so much after two views to give us that kind of statement is very sweet of you. It makes me proud that someone from a generation that meant something can appreciate some of the new stuff.

[sfdallator]

@sparkomatic hahaha, oh shit, I just turned 40 and they are my all time favorite band

[sergioelmejor1]

@sparkomatic 3 times? please that's nothing

[CptLoli]

the sensation always creeps up. we're going somewhere special

[Meowcow42]

Theres not anything 'deep' about this.

Its a fucking good song, but it doesn't contain the secret of life, sorry.

[SleeperFactory5]

People don't exist, they change from moment to moment.

Existence is a permanent state of being, which is impossible.

Great song by the way, I love it when Avey yells...

[jdiedrick]

this song is about rolling kush.

[thescaryman]

@jdiedrick This song sounds good on kush, Its not about kush. Its about something much much deeper.

[goldensummer27]

listen to Grass and smoke some grass

[enjoyyourroots]

what's with all the changes since the time i was aware

[ThisIsLouella]

Animal Colletive are better than MGMT. MGMT don't even come close to Animal Collective. Seriously.

[mwbtc]

@ThisIsLouella i freaking love mgmt. and yet, i totally agree with this statement

[lionellogan]

@ThisIsLouella fuck you



[Papacutie1]

@ThisIsLouella if you listen to MGMT's new album with congratulations in it, its complete crap. the worst stuff ive ever heard other than congratulations

[85mariapatricia]

@ThisIsLouella not worth the sweat of animal collectives balls and i even like the first album of mgmt........... but AC are genius

[SammyL0k]

@ThisIsLouella obvi

[decaddence]

@ThisIsLouella

yeahs ..... they're two completely different bands.... you wouldn't be able compare them anyway

[soulseeker300]

@decaddence well they're both...psychedelic indie rock bands. its not really that big of a stretch.

[platypae333]

@soulseeker300 MGMT's not indie...

[soulseeker300]

@platypae333 if you wanna get overly technical but i think you can see the point i was making :/

[MissSurealist]

@platypae333 They were.



[platypae333]

@MissSurealist Every band's indie at some point...

[taurileoquarias]

@ThisIsLouella They are both good Xo

[evemmaret]

@ThisIsLouella Can't I be a fan of both? Let's not hate; they're completely different.

[platypae333]

@ThisIsLouella They play different music? Why do you have to compare them here?

[TheVampireFeed]

@MrReidLynn please, shut up, now.

[TheVampireFeed]

@MrReidLynn yes bitch. i did bitch.

[alienshe0]

@ThisIsLouella

Thank you!

[Vaminos123]

@radmagichat ...people exist??

[LukeShetler]

While people are talking about resemblences, Animal Collective is the Pixies of our generation. The abstracted lyrics, the shouting, etc. There are huge differences, of course, but the first thing I thought of when I heard Animal Collective was Frank Black.

[DVA5212]

I think this song made me high.

[HikariTenrai]

wheres the fucking replay button? D:

[needledropdamagedone]

Mgmt sounds like Animal Collective!

[Pjuker]

Sounds like MGMT

[platypae333]

@Pjuker MGMT is my favourite band but I really don't see the resemblance.... well, this one has a touch of similarity but people compare them all the time and they don't sound all that alike.

[Pjuker]

@platypae333 Listen to Weekend Wars, the way they sing.

[platypae333]

@Pjuker I don't see the resemblance. This is softer. That's not a pro or con... just saying.

[Zeppelinliveon]

psychedelic is back and it is just a awesome as we remember!

[ohfoolishworkerbee]

It's so great to see them like a real live band, with panda on the drums and deacon on guitar. :) video has a weird my bloody valentine feel.

[MrProphetMan]

amazing, this sometimes makes me remember I am not dead yet!

WAU WAU WAU!

[homieweirdotaco]

the vocals sound like i need to pop my ears



[b52goats]

tea the shit man

[sfdallator]

how is this band so polarizing, i don't get it

[NervousNerdReview]

@sfdallator people are polarizing, not everyone shows all their colors though...people are all over the place like i think any of us have capacity to be a Hitler or John Lennon or just some hobo just lots of circumstance and stuff

[kthom925]

How the hell does this only have just over 210,000 views!?

[Squiidkiid]

This my favorite song ever. Animal Collective is the best band ever.

[robbizzledog64]

what ive came to a conclusion with animal collecitve is that panda bear has asbergers and avey tare is just straight up mentally challenged and together they make a unique brilliant sound

[charlotteview]

this is BALLS DEEP :)

[YoourElectricFeel]

screaming. :)

[borntodieagain666]

sooooo... perfect

[Sulphrous]

though i'm very certain I've never heard this song before, there's something about this song and video that's unplaceably familiar and nostalgic.

[TheAsssar]

My god! i love this band!!!

[johnwashere22]

This is a great song and I love bagels

[cleanuponaisle666]

@johnwashere22 CREAM CHEESE

[talkisexpensive]

@johnwashere22 I love you.

[talkisexpensive]

I dance to this in the shower.

[cleanuponaisle666]

@talkisexpensive I dance to this all day in my head

and in the shower

[hotmike505]

Thumbs up if logdotzip sent you here !

[salmajordana]

It reminds me so much a music that i just can´t remenber!

[jerste]

At last a band that does something different.

[V4apor]

These are true musicans

[MTVrocks]

so amazing. especially the beginning. it practically hypnotizes you. and avey tare's vocals are so catchy. animal collective is amazing.

[JoshuaSuperham]

This is gettin' high music.

[Chacha5678]

omg this song gets so amazing near the end

[missingNYCITY]

this song just feels really earthy and raw. like nothing else matters except life and freedom.

[Shapesification]

thats how they all sound. Animal Collective is perfect.

[missingNYCITY]

@Shapesification very true.

[edibletalkingchairs]

djkl;lkjadsffljfdsas;jkl CHAIR!!!

[Aarainarain]

I hate how these comments suck

[jumaxe]

This and "Did you see the words" got me hooked on AC.

[Kasuma56]

About 2000 or so of those listens are me. x3

[Mastachiefify]

tight ass shit mane

[sarajuxtaposed]

what are they doing at 2:12? the only other thing i have to say is: if i had control of everything thumb in the universe, i'd put them all up for animal collective.

[dragonfoe]

@sarajuxtaposed It looks like they are trying to mix in some gnaster rap stage show with this music... if you can call this music.

[Kasuma56]

@dragonfoe If you don't consider this music, go back to your Lady Gaga and your Hipiddy Hop and fuck the fuck off, child.

[dragonfoe]

@Kasuma56 Ahh, just what I would expect, nice mouth. No hip-hop in me my friend.

[jumaxe]

@dragonfoe "music" be a relative term brah

[dragonfoe]

@jumaxe Relative to whomever is listening, which makes us both right in our opinion, why so harsh on me when I express mine?

[sixssixtsixc]

feels

[MrCopets]

when ur high haha

[Gnargorath]

@MrCopets yeah right

[Gnilretsam]

What is the name of this Cd

[Finkleburg45]

@Gnilretsam Feels

[Gnilretsam]

@Finkleburg45 oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Thank you

[Bigassrobot]

@Gnilretsam

feels

[soulthrasher9]

@Gnilretsam its Animal Collective-Feels

[xXAMDMXx1]

my friend told me to listen to this song cuz he listens to this type of music. so i did. and i didnt like it wat so ever. it was hella weird. bt a day later i hella wanted to listen to it. and i just cant get enough!(:

[dogzer]

kawks! (all over the place) ^^

[nicky560]

Most original band of the 2000's...their next album ought to be wild.

[Jerdna3]

I love it when Avey screams.

[mhpsard]

I <3 this one... PERFECT

[lisax852]

i love this band so fucking much, it hurts.

[AshesxinxFall]

I disagree. Everything before Here Comes the Indian was trash because they were looking for their sound. They just kept getting better after that, even though Feels > Berry Jam. All building up to MPP which is where they finally shouted to the world, ""We are Animal Collective, and there are our souls".

[stumanfu1991]

@AshesxinxFall couldn't agree more

[LizzziMerjanen]

@AshesxinxFall

did you just say that MPP is the best ac album

because i really hope you didn't

[robbizzledog64]

@AshesxinxFall everything before here comes the indian was trash? excuse me but listen to spirit theyre gone spirit theyve vanished in its entirety, its a lost gem thats as good as (if not better) than feels and strawberry jam. danse manatee and hollindagain were trash, campfire songs was good and as far as im concerned here comes the indian was noisy trash

[teonaranjo]

its a inefable music!

[RecentFuture]

AAH AAH AAH AAAH AAH AAH AAH AAH

[Beatmyhart]

Awesome VIBRATIONS!
