  Eric Greenwood = Certified Whiny Bitch of the Year! Thanks for your years of poor taste in music and ability to comprehend the differences between human beings.

  Just wondering what bands you listen to that are so much better?

• 3 TyB // Jun 9, 2009 at 6:48 pm

  “I am fully aware that my seething disgust for these bands is sometimes hard to justify” Then why bother bitching about it?

• 4 K // Jun 10, 2009 at 11:08 am

  Why bother bitching about it? Why not? It’s not like Eric went over to the Animal Collective fan page to bitch. It’s his blog and he can bitch if he wants to, right? Why complain about someone complaining?

  Just reading what their fans have to say in these comments. I totally agree with the name of this post and this post.

  Basically, we all have our tastes in music.
  haha what gets to me though is mindless shit like T-Pain and Akon where they brag about sex, houses, money and other non-creative crap. And they make MILLIONS doing it! AHHHH!!!

  I actually love their album “Merriweather Post Pavillion.” Possibly because they ditched that bizarre folk-y sound.

  “If you like Animal Collective, I’m pretty sure I don’t want to know you”… umm are you serious? Your saying if you met a person who liked animal collective you would not like the person for that reason? wtf? Anyways I understand that people don’t like certain kinds of music. But to HATE a band with a passion makes no sence at all. If you don’t understand why people would ever like a band, that most likely means you are close minded to other kinds of music, especially since these bands you think are horrible are receiving critical acclaim.

  i love animal collective, so i can’t sympathize. but i do agree with what Danny said about Akon and T-Pain. the song My Girls by Animal Collective does have a lot of meaning, songs about sex and drugs can get pretty old fast.. i suggest you go look up the lyrics to My Girls. you have a right to your opinion, but i believe there is so much worse music out there.

  animal collective are psychedelic, Peacebone is acctually quite a great song if you understand what psychedelia is. And plus picking on ONE song by them is ridiculous! All of their songs have a unique atmosphere and emotion, not one song on Strawberry Jam sounds alike and Peacebone’s one of them. Animal Collective have something for everyone, but not everyone is open minded to MORE THAN ONE SONG.

  music is art.
  artists like animal collective at least set their standards a little higher than almost every bit of music i’ve heard on the mainstream radio: they’re expressing unique ideas, they’re more original than alot of what’s out there, and they convey messages slightly more profound than “fuck bitches get money”

  don’t get me wrong, i love me some dirty hiphop with the fat bass and catchy tune (sometimes accompanied by lyrics i could give two shits about)

  but there are so many different ideas and sounds to explore in music, it makes me crazy to see people spending so much time talking about what they DON’T like.

  get over it because there are thousands of bands and artists waiting out there for you that you’ll love! find them and blog about them!

  Are you one of those lazy psuedo bohemian people that use words they think are big to describe your hate for things and how your opinion is so superior to others? Go drink another expensive latte and bitch

• 13 nick // Nov 6, 2009 at 4:20 pm

  i read this post, played the video, and minimized the window. thanks for providing music for me to get dressed to this morning, i loved it.

• 14 CharlieeHazel // Nov 28, 2009 at 1:54 pm

  honestly, this song is in my top favorites from Animal Collective, along with My Girls, Brother Sport, Did you see the words, Grass, and The Purple Bottle. It’s amazing music that you can get absolutely lost in if you give it a chance, and the Animal Collective show that I went to recently was absolutely breathtaking :)

• 15 RichardCRZ // Nov 29, 2009 at 10:27 pm

  This is actually one of my favorite songs by them!
  I dunno but bashing on them is ok with me because respect your opinion, but don’t make fun of the people who listen to them, you should stereotype

• 16 Ryan // Dec 10, 2009 at 11:45 am

  dude peacebone is not one of their better songs. try my girls, daily routine, the bees or did you see the words

• 17 Gopi // Dec 12, 2009 at 7:15 pm

  If you don’t like them, why talk badly about them? I happen to love them, and it’s just too bad you can’t appreciate their music.

• 18 Ave // Dec 23, 2009 at 9:15 am

  Man, I totally agree with you. I love music, I love many kinds of, especially indie music, but….What are we talking about? Just becasue a few important magazines say this is the best..we think we love it….Come on….a little more of personality….This band is not bad, but it’s just medicore. Lets be serious and honest.

• 19 Josh // Dec 27, 2009 at 12:57 pm

  This is all pointless, do you think avey tare is bitching at people on a blog about his music? NO, because he is doing what he loves, he doesnt give a shit about a bunch of opinions from wacktards on the net. Granted he is amazingly talented, but your all fighting over something that will never end.
  1. Not everyone will like animal collective
  2. Not everyone will hate animal collective
  3. so quit bitching like a bunch of middleschooler’s.

  itt: fanboys get mad at someones opinion.

  internet hipster dicks

• 21 patrick w. // Dec 31, 2009 at 1:25 am

  i love the internet.

• 22 Graham // Jan 3, 2010 at 11:13 pm

  dude, I love animal collective too!

• 23 kfl // Jan 7, 2010 at 8:08 am

  i love how a discussion on animal collective became a thinly veiled hate fest on hip-hop.

  animal collective fans are racist.

• 24 katie // Jan 23, 2010 at 12:16 am

  Passion…I can’t say it enough. They make music not to bring in the bucks but because they have passion. Music is an art form for the band. They do what they want and not what record cpy. tells them to produce. I have a feeling that you’re a radio kinda person, and thats great for you but I hate to say it….most of those “artist” on the radio don’t write there own music. The cpys do. You could, at the very least, respect there passion.

• 25 Miguel // Jan 26, 2010 at 10:58 am

  I like this band a lot, i think they’re different and i like the way they express themselves through their music. I guess everyone has their own opinions though.

• 26 joseph toomey // Feb 25, 2010 at 12:48 am

  smoke pot or take a hallucinogen then you will understand animal collective……truly they are brilliant…..its the style they go for….odd very transfixing i love alll of their music…peacebone is definately not the best to listen to…..but its the deranged and uncomfortably comfortable music to trip out to…its boss..

• 27 joseph toomey // Feb 25, 2010 at 12:53 am

  and they are far from mediocre……..farrrrrrrr from it….they are dynamic and amazingly creative…songs are very different and are built in a very unique way…their lyrics and crazy style of singing….is none other than creative…a creativity to ears that do not look for the brilliance in a song.

• 28 joseph toomey // Feb 25, 2010 at 2:28 pm

  to ear that cannot hear the brilliance of a song
