So, it's been two months since the release. how's merriweather sitting with everyone? Still love the album as a whole, not my favorite of theirs though. At first I didn’t like the lack of shouting/yelling, but after reading avey's reason why it makes sense. He felt the album didn’t need it, but they still add stuff when they play live. Personally no more runnin is moving up on my list of favorite songs from the album.
Read several recent interviews and I'm liking what im hearing. Talks of possible deakin return for next album, possibility of going back to more organic instruments, and they like whiskey.
Hmm what else, oh yea, live archive of stuff…not sure if its been posted before
http://www.bansheebeat.com/ac.html. download panda bear at the bowery ballroom (6/18/07). In the first track he sings 'guys eyes' over what I think is an atlas sound song. Fucking amazing. Its labeled as 'untitled' and its in the middle of the track. That’s why live sets are a treat because you could be hearing future versions of songs and you don’t even know it! gah I've been finding so much rare shit its awesome. not sure if this link has been posted before too, but:
