aw, no tikwid? :/
at first i was like, "no spirit songs?!" and then i was that it was just '04-'08...hehe. this is a really good mix though. i'm gonna go ahead and say that they're my favorite band ever. i just can't think of anyone who comes close.
omg merriweather is going to be SOOO good.have you heard the boots?
i have not heard the boots yet. i'm really pumped though. with new AC and grizzly bear, the rest of 2009 can suck completely and it will still be a great year for music.
regarding the mix though, I initially wanted to make a comprehensive animal collective mix, but found it too difficult narrowing it down. i also made a 2000-2003 mix, but it didn't work at all. all the transitions were off and a few songs didn't make sense out of context. it's really hard to isolate most songs from their early albums, though some from spirit would work.
then you're in for a reeeal treat. i sort of wish i hadn't listened to the boots so much because now i have these expectations of what i want the songs to sound like, but i definitely wouldn't be anywhere near as excited as i am if i didn't already know the songs. of course i'll be listening with an open mind though so i won't be disappointed. some websites that have reviewed it have already said that it's the best album of 2009 lol. i'm pumped for the new grizzly bear toooo.
anyway, i'm still not sure if i'll be listening to the leak or not...i mean, my expectations for this album are crazyyyy crazy high, so i kind of want that feeling of ripping open the package and putting on the vinyl instead of spontaneously downloading the leak.
i've never tried making a mix of any of their songs. i have included individual songs of theirs on different mixes, but i imagine it'd be pretty weird trying to make a comprehensive mix just because all (a lot) of their songs have those transitions. and their albums just flow really well in general.
oh, and i just noticed SAFER wasn't on here! tsk tsk.

I love the Pete and Pete related posts...amazing humor for a kids show. I'm also lovin' "The Essential" compilation posts. I'm interested to hear what you'd do for The Essential Tom Waits.
It was certainly interesting for me to read the post. Thanks for it. I like such topics and everything that is connected to this matter. I would like to read a bit more soon.

A MUST for music collectors! Definitely! I just have to say one thing against them: to buy viagra is not something to be ashamed of, as they stated once!
