haha, i just thought my reply was so incoherent that it was just dropped.

panda bear sounds (and this is going to be super helpful) like a jacked out brian wilson who grew his hair and went to live in germany. deep layers of golden pop that only reminds of AC and can remain totally seperate from it. i like it quite a bit but it's not a favorite like so many other peoples. my favorite track is "i'm not". the shortest one of the bunch, a friend and i had this on repeat in addition to the album while driving 6 hours through the california hills during sunset. it was pretty fantastic.

but really, this all comes from an unassuming dude living in portugal with his kids.

fun fact: AC's best memory of 2006 is the daft punk gig at coachella. i'm a sorta member of rerz where they discuss a bunch of crap about future releases and what they're digging and they pretty much all agreed that even if their own concert had turned to shit they still would have had the time of their life.
it was funny because i usually hear them plugging people like ariel pink or some obscure musique concrete

i think i talked about burial with deaken tho.
