Yeah, this is just a fan-made site by me, but I'm not very good at advertising it. I'm not really sure how I could even do that.

I would like it to be up and people posting and being active, but it's harder than it seems. However, if you would like to spread the word, please do

I guess it's an ironic twist.

Well, hopefully one day it does catch up as time goes on, this site will be a year old in Feb/March next year.

Well, it worked since now it's on the site :) that's pretty cool, I never bothered doing that, although Domino added this site on its own a few months ago. I wonder if there'll be any takers then :P

I guess that could be done, but I don't want to have to impose registration on someone just to download the music.

What kind of chaos would that be?



BOOM!

Well, I've been posting as others keep posting and I don't mind the new .net

I'm already at 105, err 106, didn't even realize

i wish i could make both the new dot org and dot net boards bigger...

but i don't wanna get all "spammy"

(well what others would consider spammy... i'd consider just fun garbled talk!)

at least i can be king over there and 2nd in command here (soon enough!)

i need to just make threads ... get balls rolling!

maybe try and get some from at ease to come here..

you do realize my name is just basically GEO right?

i wasn't sure how obvious that was

damn so every time those spam-bots make threads and i reply and you delete them i lose that post (the actual one and for the count!)

i'll stop responding to them then

darn it!

that was gonna be my Method!

I actually didn't even know that deleting posts would also decrease your post count

But congrats I suppose. Anyways, I don't think the spam problem will persist since I put a new question in the registration form.

Dude you're just posting to post aren't you

But the new question on the registration is a sort of fill in the blanks, just so that people register from now on, I hope that will keep bots out; we haven't had one since I added it.

it makes me feel bad for the .net message board!

which makes THIS one look hoppin!

try as i'd like i can't help posting on the big one (AKKA) just because i was there pretty much from the begin in 2005... but try as i might i can never truly get into that one... here i keep waiting to truly go nuts making threads but that day has not arrived....yet

well, first off its an awesome site man you've done well

im from australia and AC are reasonably well known among the alt music community. if you want global promotion then a good thing to do would be to appoint one person from each country - for as many as you can get - to just get the word out in their communities about it. local music mags, radio stations etc. this way you could also keep up to date with gigs around the world and post them accurately. for now try doing it the good ol' mass communicative way by posting the site every week or so onto the AC facebook, myspace and twitter sites. might sound silly but it took me ages to find this site and i was so glad when i did. its a great way for animal fans to appreciate their awesomeness together

on this note i just want to say how PISSED i am that they have just announced a show in my city for their first aust tour and im going to be out of the freaking country a week before they play. it hurts...like a hot spoon gouging out my eyeball. if anyone knows where they are touring around june next year id love to know since i may end up heading overseas just to watch them play four or five gigs.
thanks a bundle,

love and peace,
sasch

well ya know,
it just seemed like the most appropriate way of expressing my pain haha.

...how

.......very

.....................deep!!

the emotions boil up inside me like influenZa! ooooh, i def need to party with the ac boys.

haha, this is so very true.
but we are, i mean, they are telling us something and we are listening...we are like their psychs.....

....in fact, THEY should be paying US!


we could totally sue.

(just trying to hide the pain *sobb*)

I'm with nakedmoniker on this one. When you google animal collective this place is the third website that comes up. The only thing is, people come here and see that this is dead. As soon as they go to the front page they see that the news is seriously out dated and it probably shies them away. This site has a lot of potential, we could get in on wikipedia (i practically write all the animal collective news on it) and get it updated and you could make some serious grass haha i'm listening to it right now. Anyway, I'm driftin off here. I could help this place out alot I have aloooot of down time at my work and i steal internet from the store next to me so i could put some time into this right here. fuck, i'll even buy this site and fix it up a little bit. Our animal collective are about to huge i can feel it.

By the way, collective fans: You guys will fucking love this video:

Grace/What would i want sky/My girls/ Fireworks. Minus the clapping this is perfect.

Extremely good quality (watch it with some nice headphones. preferably not laptop headphones haha i listened to it first with laptop speakers and then Bose headphones, HUGE difference peeps)

only teen? AC is LOVED by the Kids these days! ... i mean even in 2005 they had 15 year old fans (it's CRAZY!)

with ac . net board gone and AKKA just really shitty with filth i think this place could be the alternative (is there another ac board out there at all even as big as this one? or ANY other? weird...)

but lord!

we can beat this!

way back when i was in high school i had trouble finding even people who liked bands as big as radiohead! ... so i can't even imagine what it'd be like to be into some more out there stuff at so young an age (always hoping shows are all ages and the like!) ... i think the internet age truly changes things... now it is expected everyone is online to some degree and being into a band like radiohead at 13/14 could easily be a gateway to getting into stuff damn early... i just wonder how it will be in the future... i guess 12/13 is about the cut-off... very rarely do you see anyone 13 or under on these message boards or whatnot

but

depeche mode MAYBE you could understand... though not ever hearing enjoy the silence or personal jesus? ... but nirvana i find damn hard to believe! ... i mean come on! ... man in a day and or age when 14 year old girls like AC... it's so weird to me... i don't know what to think! ... same when you'd see 14-16 year old female fans of xiu xiu... just odd as all hell!

good luck with danse manatee! ... i hope you (unlike even some big-time animal fangs) can find the goodness in it! ... beyond just essplode...

meet the lite child is KEY!

being the newest member, I must agree that I felt sad when I realized how un-active the boards are lately. I'll try and spread it around I suppose, considering this is one of the best AC sites around...hrmmm.

give it time

That is pretty sad.

It is hard to update the site, since I'm only one person and I don't really follow AC that closely, so I don't write on recent articles or shows that they do.

I could let someone be a news writer, but since I really don't know anyone there's a level of trust that I haven't been able to meet. However, if there are any people who write news at other sites, and would like to do so here as well, just show me and I'll think about it.


During this week I have Thx Givin' off so I'm going to update the site a bit here and there. I've already changed some of the code on the Collectography (though users won't be able to notice it yet) and I'll continue on to the Lyrics. Right now I'm working on getting newer shows that I haven't put up and after that we'll see what else.

I'll be using the forum as a registration hub, so that people that want to edit the pages (lyrics mainly) will be able to do so ... if they're a mod, which I haven't decided on since it's hard to say.
