Dear Daniel,

You're gonna love this.

I went to see Animal Collective last night. 4-piece electronica psych folk noise rock (currently 3-piece). Things have moved on so much in music thanks to the internet that this genre now has a section in HMV: 4PEPFNR(C3P), next to world music and jazz.

Imagine standing in a corridor of a club so that you are able to hear three DJs playing three different songs in three seperate rooms and it's a tremendous cacophony until, bizarrely and from time to time, all three tracks seem to work together and the result is glorious, an experience beyond the sum of its parts.

There's a fine line between madness and Animal Collective.

This seems like as good a time as any to mention Silver Apples, seen here in 2008 but performing Oscillations, which is 40 years old...



Which leads us to Spacemen 3, Suicide, Eno, Sonic Youth. I'm going to post all of these at some point. Who'd have thought nonsense could be so exciting?
