it IS animal collective and ghostface. fuck yes. ill be there...

just because someone goes to nyu doesnt mean there a trust find kid. plenty are here on scholarships or have had to take out huge loans.

i think it's fair....$30k a year for school and one free concert.

$30k, that's like NYU with a 50% discount

You need an NYU ID to get a ticket. Lame.

The Columbia concerts are open to the public. Who's playing there this year?

The Hold Steady and The Spinto Band played this past Saturday.

I think they have another concert in the spring?

Oh whoops. I'd have gone up there for that.

Peelander-Z

you need an NYU id to get the ticket, not to get in the door...Im sure theres a ton a freshman who have no interest in seeing this band, but picked up tickets

Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

I heard it's Venom......

"Why do trust fund kids need a free show?"
Awww, sounds like someone's bitter. What, did even CUNY reject ya?

i'll be there. so much resentment on here...

animal collective and ghostface were confirmed on the ac board by one of the band members

wish i didnt live in california!!!

Tony Starks in the house?? No shit.

If it really is Ghostface and Animal collective, i think Ghost should open this one up.

Best Columbia show was Fugazi in '91, shortly after Repeater came out (God, I'm getting old...).

"Awww, sounds like someone's bitter. What, did even CUNY reject ya?"

That statement would have made sense if you were backing up a school like Columbia, but NYU? NYU has poor academics compared to the price. I was accepted to NYU, but went elsewhere. I went to an engineering school, not a liberal arts one, so NYU would have been a poor fit.

Saw Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force at the old Loeb student center sometime back in the mid 80's. I was not an NYU student.

oh man im so glad i didnt end up going to nyu. despite their pretty awesome beginning of year concerts.

nyu kids suck so hard.

Will Mary-Kate and Ashley be at this concert?

Columbia's concert was last week.
& NYU kids aren't all bad, yo.

When I went to the Shins/Fiery Furnaces free show a couple years ago they were checking IDs

Man, I just got back from the show.
I know that people hate on NYU kids so much b/c of the university's policies toward downtown real estate but kids like me come here for a good education in an eclectic setting.
we're not all trust fund brats, granted there are a lot of them here but in my 3 years I've managed to meet plenty of stand-up people who I'm proud to call my friends.
And if nothing else, there is a lot of talent spewing out of this school.
Back on topic, the AC show was awesome (little We Tigers in there after crowd shout out) but the sound for Ghostface was terrible (as usual) so I bounced.

"kids like me come here for a good education"

Stop trying to make excuses. You support an institution responsible for closing down many local cultural institutions just to make room for dorms. Plus, the academics at NYU are pretty weak. But if you repeat in a few times, maybe you will start believing it.

Oh come on, everyone in America supports institutions that are reprehensible. Haven't you bought a coffee from Starbucks or a single piece of clothing from a brand name.. ever? I'm not saying it makes it right, but NYU kids aren't responsible for shutting down those buildings, the institution is. Besides, I'm getting the best education for ME & I'll be paying for it well into my adult life. Rag on it all you want, but there are cool people & crappy people here just like everywhere else.

Like I said, if you repeat in a few times, maybe you will start believing it.

Seems like it worked like a charm!

throw ya Clark Wallabee shoes in the air bitches.

im going to say it.

animal collective fucking suck live. i love their albums, but live its just pure masturbation. they are punishing the people who pay for their albums and pay for tickets to see them by giving them an hour of crap with 2 recognizable songs thrown in. if they want to be a noise band, fine, but record noise albums. they've decided to record pop albums with songs, so when i go to see them live, i expect songs. but me, like many other people who have supported them over the years, are treated to sonic wankery. fuck those dude. never again. NEVER AGAIN.

and ghostface had a pretty sweet entourage. easily 20 dudes just standing on the stage. i actually saw one make a phone call while up there.

> everyone in America supports institutions that are reprehensible.

Wow.

> NYU kids aren't responsible for shutting down
those buildings, the institution is.

Double wow.

If you weren't scared for the youth of today, you should be. Is it blatant ignorance or blatant disrespectfulness? Either way, the future is looking grim.

'Nick' is a fucking idiot. animal collective is one of the best bands i've ever seen live, hands down. go put on your bloc party album and shut the fuck up, you are obviously oblivious to art.

sorry, but "i expect songs"??? maybe urban outfitters will still accept a return on the copy of Feels you bought there

i knew it was coming! i posted it just so i could get the "A" word thrown at me.

what animal collective does live isn't art. running your voice through a delay pedal isnt art. their albums are infinitely more "artistic" than their sham live show.

please PLEASE try to explain to me the artistic merit of yelling through a delay pedal? its annoyance masquerading as "art"

go to the live show and watch the crowd reaction when they actually play a song start to finish. THAT is art. when they played we tigers last night, kids lost their shit. it was a great moment because it demonstrated how primal and visceral their songs can be, especially in a live setting. but when they were yelling over an electronic hum for 20 minutes, everyone just kind of stood there waiting for another "we tigers" moment. which came at the end when they played purple bottle, and that was another great moment.

good bloc party and urban outfitters references though..you really explained to me why you enjoy animal collective's live show.

and please tell me, if the albums are full of complete, cohesive songs, why should i not expect them live? don't come back at me with insults, i want answers.

Just for the record, I was not the one who "repeated" myself.
I was not the one who said the institutions are responsible and not the people that support them...
BUT... of all of the institutions I've been enrolled in (Harvard, UC Berkeley, NYU) I feel that the academics at NYU are the best for me and that's why I'm here.
I feel bad whenever NYU makes a shitty real estate deal but I'm not about to pack up and leave.

Hate on NYU all you want but the bottom line is that this school produces unbelievable talent. That's worth a lot to me.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

NYU produces unbelievable talent because most of the kids who go there already have the means to do anything they want. Having a lot of money and having a lot of talent are two different things.

People with just as much talent come out of state schools, or *gasp*, don't go to college at all.

NYU haters unite!

i am the only brooklyn vegan reader who is upset by the ridiculous amount of hate on these message boards. you all seem like little babies. people are allowed to have different opinions on things.
mabye i'm the only person here who like bloc party and animal collective a whole lot, but jesus everyone needs to calm down.

nick,

okokok, sorry to hate. we all fall sometimes, and get sucked into internet comments fights. only human, after all.

so maybe when i saw them at webster however many months ago they were alot better than the nyu show. who knows? maybe there's a difference of taste (gasp!) i wasn't at the show (though i tried), so i can't beef...

i will say, that when in the right mindset (drug-induced or not), 20 min electronic hum can be the most beautiful thing ever (see: fennesz, growing, belong etc). i personally think animal collective is on that wavelength, and know exactly what they're doing.

check out some of the pre-sung tongs stuff, it might explain a few things. that or you should smoke more, brethren.

"...the bottom line is that this school produces unbelievable talent. That's worth a lot to me."

And Mussolini made the trains run on time.

see, anonymous commenter. we can all be friends here in the comments section.

::hug::

fuck all you trust funders and the corporations that have ruined NYC. the natives fucking hate you all, please leave.

"BUT... of all of the institutions I've been enrolled in (Harvard, UC Berkeley, NYU) I feel that the academics at NYU are the best for me and that's why I'm here."

name-dropping is the crutch of the insecure.

and harvard summer school is for losers, anyway.

and the noun is 'disrepect' not 'disrespectfulness'

Ghandi is right, sometimes the comments here make me sick.

Amanda, move back to the Midwest.
