I initially read that as “Make Me Laugh,” which is an old game show from the late ’70s. So, reminded of it, I went to Youtube to find an old episode— and ended up finding this: FRANK ZAPPA as contestant on ‘Make Me Laugh,’ 1978.

Finally, *FINALLY*, someone out there is posting about Fleet Foxes and Animal Collective. Posts about those bands have been sorely missing from the internet.

How about instead of trying to squeeze out money by limiting and restricting things, you start working on finding ways to get consumers to want to give you money.
You want things to work the same way they did 20 years ago. They’re...
The agonizing questions facing today's online...
(1.) What in this wide world of ours is left for me to post about Animal Collective? Can we find a mixtape put together by a former neighbor? Maybe an interview with Panda Bear’s mom about what kind of socks he preferred as a child?

A Prayer For The Unheralded Music Blog
alexblagg:
As the ways in which I’ve hunted and gathered my music have changed with the ever-increasing convenience of technology, I thank you, Unheralded Music Blog.
For your new album previews, for the new tracks you post, and for your bandwidth. Mostly for those last two, I thank you.
I may know you only through the link The Hype Machine points me towards, and I may never even bother to...

Matthew must just be making a joke about those songs— there’s NO WAY anyone could possibly dare attempt to take on Michael McDonald (“Sir Michael,” as I call him). It’s like a normal human trying...
Wow. Just "wow."
I am used to having my host go down every so often, for 10 mins, or an hour. But this— this is all new to me. The phrase “FULL CHASSIS SWAP” does not sound good.

“…a sonic experience, sometimes brilliant, sometimes not.”
– Fred Wilson on Animal Collective
Fred, proving he is the last remaining sensible person on Earth, defies the internet’s rule that there’s “no talking about Animal Collective unless you’re using breathless, superlative-laden hyperbole.”
