ahh, web in front is just soooo good. love it. a total classic.
I like the looks of this, barring Marnie Stern, whom I £@*%^(* hate. She ‘played’ before Animal Collective the first time I saw them, and was almost indescribably awful – 40 minutes of tap-ons, and really little else. I read reviews of her album as being a life changing experience, which I’m sure it is, I suspect it’s the album that would make you vaguely wish that you were deaf.
Barry used to play guitar like that for hours when we were teenagers. He used to go into a trance and used do the ‘didly didly’ guitar stuff, and i’d stare and the floor and wait till he finished!
