Animal Collective Interview (September 2009)

[colpetne]

why do they wish they were in fall out boy?

[avedic]

they're all so nerdy and so utterly uncool...but they make music that is about as cool and "now" as possible. i love that.

[grunntalll]

@avedic their not uncool at all, what you just described is the real definition of cool. It's the meaning of cool that has been dragged into shit the past 10 years.

[avedic]

@grunntalll um, right. that was pretty much the jist of my post.

[grunntalll]

@avedic hm ok, thought you were just talking about the music, not the guys themselves.

[avedic]

@grunntalll i just meant they're so unconcerned with being cool, they are cool. or something...

[Crueltool8]

what song is that which starts at :50?

[xtelevisionset]

@Crueltool8 My Girls.

[olliethehobo]

im wearing the shirt avey is wearing. he shops at walmart too!

[rimandojr214]

there voices are higher than i expected lol

[dinkelous]

so upset i ruined my chance at meeting noah during the EXACT SAME day as this was filmed...

[nebraska124]

the band has an open door policy for members. so deacon isn't exactly gone, he's just pursuing solo stuff. but by their policy he's always welcome back.

[twopoint0]

God, how ironic of this vid to start with bloodhound gang. Whenever I try to listen to ac my dad changes it to bloodhound gang...arrrgh.

[grunntalll]

@twopoint0 you got a really cool dad.

[purplequail]

yeah whatever happened to deacon?

[LazyDazy2]

He left because of personal reasons. I wouldn't consider him out of the band though. But sure missed

[GiganticAsses]

Why don't they play Animal Collective music in the background?

[Lucanio]

@GiganticAsses because animal collective music NEEDS to be listened to. to push it into the background would be a crime against nature.

[bloques]

@GiganticAsses because Fuse sucks
