Grow up, go outside
The online response I've seen to the Singles Jukebox's blurb on Animal Collective's "My Girls" has been infuriatingly dumb. I don't normally care about this sort of thing enough to write about it, but I continually live in hope that people will get over the idea that differences in taste necessarily mean antagonism, and I'm continually disappointed.
That said, as I told some friends, if I read one more comment accusing us of some ridiculous bad faith/disingeneousness, or equating different tastes with being 'out of touch,' I'm going to stab the internet.

I'm not getting 'blurb' as a link - it's underlined but doesn't go any where.

link don't work. but I figured it out. It's weird, I was just arguing the decent-ness of this record the other day with some 17 year old girls who just wouldn't have it. I will join you in stabbing the internets.

I forgot an equal sign. Whoops!
And I'm with you, Katie, but you realize I'm mostly defending the guys who gave it a 0, right?

pfft whatevs. I'm not saying it's great. I don't think it was THAT awful though. Maybe you should join my forum and fight with the 17 year olds :P

It doesn't matter whether you think it's that awful or not, my point is that there's nothing wrong with someone giving "My Girls" a 0, or a 10, or a 6 (what I gave it). You've got people running around acting like the song getting a combined score of (just) under 5 is somehow proof that we hate music or something. It's stupid.

Trust me Erik, I considered buying that t-shirt back at the beginning of the week (before this happened!). I'd never wear it though.

Merry Christmas to me!
By the way, Stew, having checked them out a little I definitely agree Black One is the best Sun O))) album. Have you heard Earthless?
