Rigtigt godt! Jeg er lige flyttet til Helsinki for at studere et semester og jeg er allerede blevet ret glad for byen. Ligesom dig nåede jeg desværre ikke Flow Festival - det må blive en anden gang. Jeg håber dog på at høre nogle koncerter mens jeg er her. Udbudet er lidt mindre end derhjemme, men stadig okay. Jeg savner til gengæld nogle koncert-buddies hjemmefra - dem jeg har mødt har ikke helt samme musiksmag. Hvordan går det med dig? Nogen nylige musikalske åbenbaringer? Jeg er selv ret vild med den nye Angel Olsen plade.

I am so sorry! I recently moved over to spotify and have been having it scrobble my music from there and I've barely been opening the website! I am such a terrible person! It is summer here! It's been very nice weather and pretty relaxed! I had an internship at a local company over the last few months but I just had my last day there on Friday and I'm now waiting to go back to school. I hope all is going well with you!

Somehow your comment just painted a picture of you situation into my brain, it fit the song so well. Very poetic. Great that the story had a happy ending, even though you moved to a worse place after that, lol. Why have you been in Finland, and in so many cities? Relatives? I actually live in Helsinki. Oh, and the best way to translate poignant to Finnish would probably be "kärkevä" or "pistävä", both meaning something sharp, but sharp like emotionally, even though they both can also mean physically sharp. Weird language.

Yeah it does sound a bit poppy, which is what they were going for, but the more you listen the more little things you're gonna hear and those will grow on you so much and you will end up loving the album. It's very weird and hard to sing along to, the songs are short but explosive and I just can't seem to get enough of it. Hocus Pocus, The Burglars, Golden Gal and Recycling are sooo good.

I'm sorry I had a crazy break and the beginning of this semester is already a little rough. I'm taking more difficult classes this seamster an it's been no fun. How was your Christmas Break?

Pandasticus
Yeah, but in a good way. I love it, and my recent scrobbles show it, lol. I definitely feel a Strawberry Jam vibe from this, and it gets a bit CHz-ish near the end. I can't wait to hear the full album. Also we will get another single in a week or so.

They released the new song via the iOS app! Some cool dudes ripped the song from that app and uploaded it online. You can hear it here: http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/GQvDfDM9/file.html Tell me what you think of it!

No, I ordered a custom printed one. Don't think they sell any of the new merch yet.

Yeah, it had always worked for me. You just need to make sure scrobbling is enabled in your player. I am on Android and I use Rocket Player and in it there's an option to select your installed scrobbler and that's it. Don't know what player you use but just try messing around in the settings until you find something about scrobbling.

Yeah. I also obessively listen to AnCo. Sometimes I can only listen to their stuff for a whole week or more. By the way I see you are listening to Alvvays. They are so amazing. Hope they drop something new this year. Molly's voice is so comfy.

Hey there! Sorry, I haven't visited Last.fm in like a week. Happy NY to you too! Painting With is only a little over a month away, and the leak can happen any time now. I am so pumped to hear it.

Thanks! Yeah, FloriDada is already among my all time favorite AnCo songs. It's so cheerful and I love the "call and response" vocals with Avey and Panda. I can't wait for the album and I hope we get another single before it drops. Imagine they give us a new single as a Christmas present. That would be the coolest thing ever.

You just drift and pray for sun kissed GOLDEN DAAAAAAAAAAAAYS! Love that one. I don't know if that was the purpose of the song but it pretty much describes how anxiety feels like. Derek is also a nice one. Love Panda's voice so much.

Either way you look at it, you have your fits, I have my fits, but feeling is good... Also I adore that "What's with all the changes since the time I was aware" part in Grass. Feels probably has the best songwriting in all their albums.

For MPP: In The Flowers, My Girls, Summertime Clothes, and Bluish, and for CHZ: Moonjock, Amanita, Wide Eyed (first time Deakin does lead vocals in any AnCo song, and it's glorious), Applesauce. Both are great albums and Centipede Hz is massively underrated on the internet.

I am not very familiar with our history as well. I know that his was a kingdom before, then some time later we were a part of Yugoslavia, then somewhere in the 80s I think there was a war that tore the countries apart and now we have like 5 countries instead of one and most of us pretty much speak the same language and everything. Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian are almost identical, it's just different accents.

Also, Sweden is very cool. I'd like to move to Norway though. I love the Nordic countries and their languages and places and the coldness and everything. And I always had the impression that the people are awesome there.

I can't really pick favorite songs, because I love so many of them. Definitely Alvin Row, Street Flash, In The Flowers, Fireworks, Banshee Beat, We Tigers, Winters Love, among others. They still haven't released anything I didn't end up loving the hell out of, and, judging by FloriDada, I think the new album won't be an exception. But yeah, their lyrics are amazing and so unique. I also try to play some stuff on my guitar but I got it only a few months ago, so I am still learning. Barre chords are my main obstacle right now, and they seem to be in every AC song I want to try, especially B and Bm.

It's kinda what you'd expect from a poor country. Not terrible, but not exactly good either. Not many places to go, especially in this small town I live in, but at least I have the internet, heh. We don't really have a good scene right now, but we had cool rock bands from the 80s back when this was Yugoslavia.

I live in Serbia, and bands for some reason rarely visit here, and I don't really have money to travel to another countries to see shows. I hope that changes because I would really want to see some bands live, especially Animal Collective. I personally never went to their shows but every AnCo fan on the internet I've encountered said they are very amazing live. I can't imagine their shows being bad, to be honest.

Also I'm so jealous about the Father John Misty concert! I'd love to see him live! Was it great?

It's all good! I'm sorry I haven't been more adamant about checking the website! It's finals week for me and this semester has been a little tougher than the last one for me. I've been listening to my music a little less too! Which is really sad, but I'm really looking forward to break. Yes I have heard the new Animal Collective! It's really fun. I'd recommend it! As far as Sufjan goes I'd love a new album from him, but I don't even know when I'd be ready for that. Carrie and Lowell was really great. The tracks are a little soft, but the lyrics are pretty great so it makes up for that. I hope he cheers up too. He talked a lot at the concert I went to that he was in a really bad place and that influenced the music.

Also yeah, the recording is really shitty, but it lets you take a sneak peek at the track. It's very fun but it's far from a studio version.

Yeah, also recent activity on profiles, journals, friends, that cool looking scrobble meter... I hope they add those things back. It's what gave soul to the website. Now it looks prettier but that doesn't matter if all the functionality is gone. :(

Lying In The Grass is the song from the new album. The album was streamed on the Baltimore airport for 24 hours and some guy was in the bathroom and recorded one song from it. It's in really bad quality and it's not the full song but it gives you a nice peek at what it will sound like (and it's pretty cool).

Well I like the modern look of the website but the last layout was definitely more functional. In my opinion they shouldn't have changed it until they added all the features from the old website. Also, it's a bit cruel that we can't put some cool gifs in the sidebar. :(

Have you listened to that bathroom recording of Lying In The Grass? It's so awesome. Can't wait for the album.

I'm really sorry about being so busy, too! I keep forgetting to write back! I'm really sorry about your situation this summer! That sounds terrible :( I hope you're feeling better and not having to be on that medication anymore. The new school year sounds promising! I always love being on the higher part of buildings. It feels more cosy to me somehow haha. I'm on the third floor in my apartment complex at school and that's about as high as it goes around here for non dorm buildings. How is your class going?

I can't get myself enough Beach House! I don't know what it is about their music that I like so much! Depression Cherry has gotten some meh reviews, but I think it's because people were expecting it to go in some bold new direction. But it sounds just like Beach House to me and I'm not too worried about them trying to find some new sound. I think they know what kind of music they want to make and they're good at it. I really like Depression Cherry. It was a good follow up to Bloom.

It was fun. I got to see Sufjan which was the close second. I got to visit a friend in Illinois before I went back to school which I would say was the most fun part. Mostly just lots of work in between though. I'm back at school now. I just finished my second week. What about yours?

Yeah it's kinda strange. I feel like the site did need an overhaul; however, I'm not really sure I'm liking the overall flow of it.

Sorry I haven't been on this much lately :( I haven't even been syncing my phone to get plays either! But Guess what I'm doing now?! And yes I have seen them once! It was phenomenal! I'm not going to make it to this tour which I'm pretty bummed about :( I think a few of my friends who don't really listen to them are going to get to go in September in St. Louis. I hope they do because I wasn't as big of a fan of them until after I saw them! Really awesome stuff!

Oh my goodness! You have to see Sufjan!! The concert was incredible! I keep listening to live recordings of it on YouTube because the songs were so amazing live! And the visuals on stage were as equally amazing!
