Nothing positive. :( When listening to the end of Peacebone on the SJ vinyl, my mum walked in and asked "Is it stuck?". My friend thinks they're quite literally the worst band ever, he HATES them (we don't share many bands, to put it mildly). None of my friends that I've made listen to them like them ("I can't hear the melody" in Peacebone. "This is the worst song ever" to Fireworks), and the others that haven't heard them don't know them. :( Never mind not having anyone that likes AC, I don't have anyone with remotely similar music tastes to myself! (ie. good taste ;P)

The chorus to winter wonderland was my away message once, and i guess my friend saw it and thought it was interesting so he looked it up youtube. He messaged me later and said "thank you, this is the most incredibly interesting thing I've ever heard" I burnt (burned?) him feels and sj but I'm not sure he actually listens to it much. he did say he downloaded most of their disco. but hasn't gotten around to listening yet. i'm just glad he didn't hate it. He mostly listens to folk-punk, and the only music we have in common is sonic youth, my bloody valentine, and modest mouse, + some e6 stuff.

i'm a nanny, and the other day, i took the kids (aged 4 and 2) to the zoo. i couldn't bear to think that the van ride (lolz i drove a milf car!) would be dominated by the kids' wiggles DVD piping though the speaker, so i took a burnt CD out of my car that had sung tongs and water curses on it. the 4 year old girl LOVED it. here are some of the gems she said while hearing AC for the first time. "These are songs about animals from all over the world!" (re: winter's love) "This is a song about the city." "I think these people really like animals from Africa, because they sound from Africa." (re: water curses) "We are under the water with all the animals." this kid knows what's up. what's funny is i never thought of anything on sung tongs as particularly city-like but the AC themselves have said it was meant to have a very "city" sound to it. kids are awesome

about a month ago i burned feels for my biffle. she says she hasn't really listened to it much yet, but it's "not too hard to get into and surprisingly pretty. i like the beginning of the first song because it reminds me of mermaids." haha mermaids? she also listened to little bit of sj when i played it a few months ago and she said peacebone was catchy. she didn't seem too psyched about it though. :? i'm hoping she'll come around eventually; she really liked person pitch, and she generally likes anything i like. and then i'll FINALLY know someone in real life who likes ac so i can share my obsession.

you guys are all so unlucky. only a few of my friends dislike ac and quite a few of them really enjoy them. and my dad even likes most of their records.

jonothon- 07-22-2008

how do some people just like ac a little bit, or in an okayish way? i mean, ac is beyond incredible. whats to like when theres so much to love

lazy line painter jane- 07-22-2008

i know right? you either love em or you hate em. you can_not be neutral.

Stop! hammer time- 07-22-2008

Ya so usually coworkers ask me to change the cd at work or they just come up and turn it off which i always end up doing before they even ask now. so i left my ac mix in the cd player at work over the weekend. When i came back it was on the ground behind the prep table scratched to hell. :cry: MUST DESTROY THEIR PHIL COLLINS / BEATLES MIX :twisted:

jonothon- 07-22-2008

today i was listening to "safer" and my little sister was pretty much literally offended/traumatized she concluded that it was "gregorian chant shit," saying "if you listened to this in public, people would literally be afraid of you." it was pretty awesome

I was talking to a friend online and they told me they thought Animal Collective was good. YES!!! I wish I had known she liked them, I would have dragged her to P4K with me.
