Animal Collective - digested?
Shortly after I wrote the last entry, I stopped listening to Animal Collective. I'd digested the albums I have. When you can listen to your favorite parts anytime you want by playing them in your head, who needs MP3's? I had a near-constant soundtrack of them running inside.
The past few days I've been listening to Pandora.com's idea of Artists Like Animal Collective. There are a few surprising selections in there (the Beatles? really?), but they must be doing something right, because nothing jarringly out-of-place comes up (as was an occasional problem with last.fm, which depended too heavily on user tagging). So I am listening to them again, when they come up on Pandora. The other artists are quite interesting. So far the easy winner in "new stuff I want to listen to" is Grizzly Bear's album Veckatimest.
