Merriweather Post Pavillion [Digipak] - Animal Collective

Hollinndagain - Animal Collective

Advantages: Previously a very rare record now readily available.
Disadvantages: It is almost unlistenable, more art than music

Hollinndagain is a seven track re-releasing of an extremely rare live album released before Animal Collective were the favourite band of every hipster in America, in fact before they were even known as Animal Collective. It shows the band in their rawest form, it is a collection of seven avant garde 'songs' that mainly consist of a variety of sound effects looped over each other at different tempos. It was originally released in 2002 on only 300 hand painted vinyl LPs, these originals can now be seen changing hands over the internet for a lot of money, and is recorded from a performance for WFMU Radio and from a few live dates with Black Dice. The album opens with just a wall of noise, and for three minutes all you have to listen to are various different sounds, until a keyboard and a lone human voice enter the equation. as you can ...

Review of Family Guy - Freakin' Sweet Collection (Animated) (DVD)

Robert Post

Advantages: good tunes and really catchy
Disadvantages: only one really outstanding track

This is a self-titled album by singer songwriter Robert Post. He comes from a small village in Norway called Langevaag and he got together with two friends, Tor and Alf, and set about to record an album. Tor does the drums and Alf plays bass for Post.
