Animal Collective doing 'site-specific performance piece' @ the Guggenheim + more movie screenings added

does corporate members count?

I'm performing a "site-specific performance piece" in the bathroom of the Guggenheim that same night.

you should all really go see the current exhibition. it will stimulate your brains, or whatever you have left of them

I really hope this is better then the "band's" dj set.

This will just be Geologist pressing buttons in front of a strobe light.

seriously not falling for this again.

meh animal collective sucks. zzzzzzz.

honestly this WILL be a snoozer. They are so full of shit sometimes.

They're definitely already on sale to members on that site, even though it says that they won't be available until tomorrow at 10am. I just picked up two and got an email confirmation.

Hopefully this won't be a giant mistake.

^^^not sure what you are expecting, but for your sake I hope it's worth it. Generally Animal Collective "ART" shows/exhibits/installations, etc blow chunks and are a lot of drone and art school videos

5.24, whats goin on now?

5.14, that was kinda funny, & i might swing by

6:22, Tino Sehgal - definitely one of the most original exhibitions i've ever seen, especially after becoming jaded working for a couple major art magazines

That animal collective statement about their inspiration for the piece is the most annoying bullshit thing I've read in ages.

Can someone muzzle these smug idiots yet?

this sounds really creative and great, hope it is worth it...6:47 needs a massage or something

6:13 you are right! I just bought 2 and received email confirmation as well. Can't wait!

Does anyone know where in the Guggenehiem they will be playing? I'm just concerned that the egos on these overrated tools won't be able to fit inside.

One can only image the riot that will ensue from angry AC fans.

im saving up for when total slacker plays at the gugenheim

Any AC fan in NYC must be crazy to pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity.

"one in a lifetime" LOL

"One of the things that you notice almost immediately in the jungle are the birds; so many different sounds coming from so many different directions. Are they communicating to each other? What are they saying? Does each variation serve a purpose? Why are there repetitions? Is there a pattern or is that just your imagination? If you don't know the first thing about bird songs, these questions can rack a brain for days. "

Every time I see a show at the Guggenheim it sounds like my balls slapping a vag in an echo chamber.

all the people in here that are bashing animal collective are hipsters, fucking annoying.

???? @ 10:14

huh?

HIPSTERZ YOU SAY?!?!?!

Am I the only person around who finds AC boring, repetitive and way, way, way overated?

Nope, you are definitely not alone. I used to really enjoy some of their songs, but then I realized it was the same 4 chords over and over and over and over again.

I've seen them live. I wanted to fall asleep by the 3rd song. Slightly interesting at first, then just plain dull. It was also a sausage fest which made it even worse. Anon 8:37, I hope that is sarcasm!

What a bunch of bullshit artists. Pretentious crap.

sausange loop fest with pyshcadelic visual loops "inspired by the jungle"

can someone please call these bitches out?!?

i think this movie is very nice! thanks for posting this!

"can someone please call these bitches out?!?"

Sounds like you just did, broheim! UP TOP!

was it really just last year when bv commenters were bestowing accolades on animal collective as saviors of music?

who's taken anco's place?

its all about being jaded about your surroundings and also being jealous of people who are doing things that are more exciting than your blog entries; on that note I bought tickets for the oddsac screening and im stoked

This Progress indeed.

this is awesome, i wish i could check it out....

Wouldnt it work better if Animal Collective did this at the zoo?

Should I save my acid or X for this event?

This might be more of an Amyl Nitrite kinda show.

theyve been doing shit like this for years just on a smaller level. you really think theyd turn doing an installation at the guggenheim? youre retarded.

their egos? the guys from animal collective are some of the most humble people out there. if you read or have watched any interview with them youd realize that. and if anything theyd seem more pretentious if they did turn it down, and the same people bashing them now would be saying "oh they probably think they're too good for the museum."

also, if youre not into droney repetitive stuff then why are you listening to animal collective anyway?

and why does something automatically suck just because you dont like it? i cant stand people sometimes.

OH CALM DOWN IT'S ALL BULLSHIT ANYWAY YOU SHAKE IT

JESUS, 2:42 needs to MELLOW , smoke a joint and listen to some ANCO bro

has anyone tried to buy them as a non-member? It's already 10:18 and there is still no button up for that. Can you just buy it though the member button? Annoying.

They are going on sale at Noon instead.

who told you that?

its 10:29 now, all tickets are sold out, both members and non. wtf.

they never even went on sale today.

thats the biggest bunch of bullshit i've ever seen.

I bought a pair through members-only button and it worked without entering the membership number.

Geologist is the best at pushing buttons. $30 button pushing good. hope you booked it.

So lame, not able to get tickets... started reloading the G-heim site around 9:55 every min or so. And never got the link, then around 10:30, a new post pops up saying all tickets were sold out. I wrote an email to the sounds@guggenheim.org but received no response. LAME.

I can't believe they sold out so fast. I was going to wait a few days but I guess not. Hopefully they add a second night, like with ODDSAC. but my hopes can only go so far.

They sold out so fast because most people bought tickets yesterday without being members. Whoever set this up were idiots.
.

I got two but I think my name is on a list. Anyone know if I can give my two to someone else?

I'll be dry humping the DEGAS, meet me there.... 10:38p

Tickets for a second night, March 4, are on sale now.

Here's the link: http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/about-us/50th-anniversary/animal-collective-danny-perez

By "second night" I mean "early show."

3:51, yeah there is a very sad reason why Piggy is not in the lineup (RIP) The new guitarist pulls it off perfectly. The challenge will be if he can write, if they choose to make a new album. Piggy was the creative soul of that band and wrote almost everything....

I was checking out setlists from other nights on the tour, they change it up. Some cities got Ravenous Medicine, Experiment, The Prow, Nothingface, Brain Scan, a few others.

It looks like there are a few set parts of the show, and a few spots where they rotate songs.

Wouldn`t it work better if Animal Collective did this at the zoo?

Wonderful post and the location is beautiful and elegant in design and information and everything>>> to Favorites
i hear there's a show at shea stadium with so so glos, static jacks, and shapes.

Guggenheim billed it as a performance piece and it was just an installation. Resultingly, the crowd simply waited for the "show" to start, limiting anyone's ability to freely explore the space (the ground floor was packed with indian-style seaters, and the balconies were lined with people holding onto their spots like grim death.

Hey ya'll we lost another one.......but I'm glad to have grown up with gangstarr as representatives of this music that has an incredible history.....hip hop is a book that wrote itself and GURU was definetly one of its main characters.....we are all getting older.....and GURU is one of the MCs that added a soundtrack to our lives in the 80's and 90's.......the NAMES,PLACES and FACES come to mind when I hear a GANGSTARR track.........I thank GOD that he allowed GURU to shine in his short time...........REST IN EVERLASTING PEACE GURU

i thought it was pretty amazing that these bands brought everyone to their feet in Carnegie Hall. Everyone was there with good vibes celebrating an amazing culture that embraces compassion and tolerance. I have no complaints other than the 2 hipsters behind me who had a comment about everything that was wrong with the venue. Why go?
