CONSTANT LOOPING MAKES ME LOOPY.

This song by Animal Collective makes me go all weak in the knees. Three men, two turntables, one keyboard, one cymbal. Synthesizing, drumming, looping. I don't even notice the lyrics.

I. CAN'T. STOP. BOBBING. MY. HEAD. Swear to God, six minutes of straight head-bobbing at my cubicle.

And the video? Extreme metamorphoses in time and space. Am I back in the womb? Underwater? In outer space? In a Psychedelic Wonderland? In a bad 80's workout video?

And check out 4:39 - Is lifespan measurable by a sand timer, our bodies simply grains that drift away?

  2. I'm going to have to check back daily for my dose of trippy music. The red lips were a bit too trippy. I'm going to have nightmares about them. V. catchy tune

  3. That was so awesome. Totally not something I would have found on my own. I think I might add it to my gym mix, it will definitely get me pumped to run!

    4:39 reminded me of sweating, naturally. Because I am doing that right now. In my temperature controlled, run of the mill cubicle.
