Updated Dicography – Fall Be Kind EP

hateradio — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:38:07 +0000

Since the Fall Be Kind EP is practically out the door, I’ve recently added it to the Collectography, I’ll be adding a few shows and lyrics to the site as well over this short recess from the university. Moreover, I’ve added a few of the singles that I was missing to it as well, which were: Brothersport, My Girls, and Summertime Clothes.

FilterMag Featuring Animal Collective

hateradio — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:01:42 +0000

Straight from one of the reps for the magazing:

“This digital magazine, FILTER Unbound, will feature only Animal Collective, so I really think that people who visit your site will really dig it. There will be full-length features, photos and exclusive video available on FILTERMagazine.com.”

The issue will be released on Thursday, though it was scheduled to be on the 19th, so check it out at their website soon.

Update: It seems that the date has been pushed back and the magazine will come out sometime next week.

Busy In Nautica

hateradio — Sat, 23 May 2009 01:03:41 +0000

After several months of being extremely busy with other things, I’ve finally updated the Gets section with four more additions; I’ve also put Animal Crack Box in the Discography section.

New Additions:

Shows From Jan 20 and 21st

hateradio — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 00:40:53 +0000

I’ve just added two more shows from the band, from nyctaper, and the quality is quite good for anyone who was, or wasn’t there to see and hear them. So what are you waiting for? Get ‘em.

Also, if anyone has any information about the “Live” Merriweather Post Pavilion, please contact me. As always, if you have a show that isn’t in our download section, please contact me and I’ll add it, no prob.

My Girls Music Video

hateradio — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:46:52 +0000

Animal Collective have changed their website’s front page and have added their “My Girls” video. Here are a few screen shots from it, and of course the video will be uploaded to the Get’s section in due time.

Home Page And Four New Shows

hateradio — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:37:16 +0000

I’ve added a home page to the site, so it no longer directs the site to the News section and also I’ve added four more shows to the Gets downloads section. The home page will display several images from the gallery, the latest shows that have been added, latest forum posts, and some quick previews of the two last news articles. Here’s a list of the newest shows:

2008-07-19 – Pitchfork Music Fiestival 2008
2008-06-23 – Arendal, Norway – Hove Festival
2008 Merriweather Post Pavilion Live Concept – Live Version
2007 Panda Bear People Party (MP4) – A film for Panda Bears 2007 Summer Tour

The last is a full video converted from the Panda Party DVD into MP4 which is about 1137MB’s, for anyone who needs more room in your HDD you’ll need to empty some space. It’s actually much smaller than any of the other direct releases from EatTapes. In the future I will upload the whole DVD for anyone who wants it, if you’d like to request that, please post in the forum.

All Songs Considered + Animal Collective

hateradio — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 23:15:14 +0000

Today Panda Bear and Avey Tare are featured on All Songs Considered as part of the First Listen Series; listen in on their interview here, where they talk about Merriweather Post Pavillion and answer some questions on the album such as: what influences they had, what kind of music they would say it is, and more on its creation.

Merriweater Lyrics + A Few Site Changes

hateradio — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:00:21 +0000

I’ve recenltly added lyrics for Merriweather Post Pavillion and Water Curses (just a bit late for this one) today, so check them out if you want to learn how to sing a song; also, if you spot an error, please post it in the forum or post a correction as a comment in the lyric’s page that needs fixing.

Although it may not seem noticeable to most everyone, I’ve updated the site’s code by removing the previous table code and placing a complete div set up in its place, also adding a vertical copyright, which was actually the original intent of the layout. The only tables that exist now are the the Gets section since it generates tables for the items on its own; all in all, everything should look and feel exaclty the same.
