… and it was AMAZING. I love going to shows the day the album gets released. Everyone was in the best mood, and Andy Beta (with his friends Piotr and Dave) was dropping beats like nobody’s business in between acts. Animal Collective topped off the set (pre encore) with my fave song ever, “Will To Joy.” Here’s a live mp3 from awhile back to tide everyone over until the photos get edited, and be sure to pick up a copy of their 9th full length, Merriweather Post Pavillion, like NOW.

PS: Whatever scumbag is scalping the ticket for tonight’s Bowery gig for $9,000.00 - that’s a world of concert-karma pain you are setting yourself up for. “This will be the best concert of your life, even better than Daft Punk at Keyspan. Don’t be cheap.” WTF?????????????? Apparently “it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests” - but it says nothing about beat-down threats or voodoo hexes! WHOOP!
