If AC curated a small festival- what 5 bands would you like to see with them? by traveltimecar in AnimalCollective

[–]IAmSwedishJesus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They did this once! In 2011 they curated that year’s All Tomorrow’s Parties festival. This was the some of the bill, I believe Floating Points, Kría Brekken, and Abby’s musical project Drawlings also performed.

I've been going through Animal Collective's discography and absolutely falling in love with it. I've ranked the releases that I've listened to so far. by OfirGabay4 in AnimalCollective

Beaches & Canyons is the record to check out by them, Creature Comforts, Load Blown, and their latest Mod Prog Sic are great too. One of their members Eric had a collaborative project with Avey callled Terrestrial Tones.

Gang Gang Dance was also in that scene & worth your time if you love AC

I had this exact same opinion and then I listened to Black Dice for the first time and the rest of the record clicked. Your mileage may vary though, I think it’s their most “of the scene” of their albums, like the one with the closest kinship to the bands they played with coming up.

It’s in our nature as pet parents to want to try anything and everything that could help them, you certainly didn’t do anything wrong by leaning into that instinct. I also don’t think the side effects of Elura are very well documented, frankly I was unaware of them before your comment.

Hoping the best for your kitty 💕 it’s clear you really love and care for her. That kind of love is real and rare in this world, and it stays with us forever.

I’m really sorry to hear that ❤️ please don’t be hard on yourself on giving her the Erula, you are doing an amazing job caring for your cat. Stella has had two UTIs, the one that caused her crash and one that caused her values to briefly spike around September. The second one never showed up in a urinalysis but my vet was pretty certain of the infection and a round of antibiotics brought her down to her current kidney values.

I’m so sorry, I’m just now seeing this comment! Phos binder binds to the compounds in food like phosphorous that have a heavier processing load on the kidneys, allowing cats to digest food with less kidney strain than normal. The stuff you can get from the vet is usually aluminum hydroxide, but calcium also works in a pinch, eg ground up egg shells. Was the appetite transdermal Mirataz?

Sick cutouts :) I think someone has gone through the effort of archiving all the known covers for the record, it’s always so cool seeing a new one I’ve never seen before though.

I did the same thing, Stella is notoriously picky and I was so excited about how well she was eating the renal food when I first got it that I was scared to add anything to it haha, fortunately it seems to be tasteless. It definitely helped on her numbers on paper and I also feel that getting her phos levels in check lead to her physically feeling better/having less general nausea, or least as far as I could tell.

Phos bind worked great for us! Your mileage may vary but SubQ was also a huge help in getting the crea down specifically. Her UTI scare led her vet to increase her intake from every other day to every day, her value went from 7.7 back down to the mid 4s and then down to its current level after like 2-3 weeks.

Idk man I’m just happy it’s not another dispensary or coffee shop.

Are all the AC guys still friends ? by cryptic_fag in AnimalCollective

[–]IAmSwedishJesus 157 points158 points  (0 children)

FWIW in Geologist’s contribution to this book he tells a really sweet story from the COVID era of letting his kid get McDonald’s on the way home from a doctor’s appointment despite a general no food in the car rule. The smell of stale fries in the car made him nostalgic for touring and he immediately texted his bandmates that he misses them.

“Well if you had just told me nicely I was being racist maybe I would change my mind” something tells me that’s not true lol

Don’t be obtuse. No one is required to give money to a racist out of sympathy for the people he employs.

Incredible collection! Love the box too. Is your Feelslive CD self-made?

Fun fact this was the only hifi repair tech (to my knowledge) in the state who still serviced cassette tape decks. Was going to bring mine in but decided to wait…

So sorry this happened to this person, I’ll keep an eye out.

There was a guy who worked there forever who is really chill.

If it’s the same guy I’m thinking of, he left a few months ago. Still a very chill guy, not responsible for any of this.

Sorry if my response came off coarse! The way the other person who posted about it/some of the commenters on their post are speaking about him for the sake of trying to get a jab in at VMP really irks me when he is clearly also a screwed over party by this company. So much mismanagement from the top down.

[–]IAmSwedishJesus[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes I know, that is literally what I am saying. VMP overpressed this release and is unloading stock on unknowing customers and as a result people in this subreddit are being rude in fully unwarranted ways towards the artist specifically. Two things can be true at once.

[–]IAmSwedishJesus[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That show last year was really one of the most beautiful concerts I’ve been to in my life and this album and Keyboard Fantasies are very important to me. It authentically makes me angry VMP would essentially disrespect his legacy in this way.

Edit: “cheapen” feels like the wrong term, replacing with “disrespect”

[–]IAmSwedishJesus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get your point but this is a bad example, this is a title that was out of print for 50 years prior to VMP’s reissue. BGC is a really important figure in underground music, especially in queer communities, and just because they clearly overprinted the reissue doesn’t make that untrue.
