[MP3]
Atlas Sound Walkabout (w/ Panda Bear)
I heard that this song is possibly one of the most ‘relevant’ and ‘organically created + released’ mp3s of the year. From what I understand, the DeerhunterBro was ‘chilling’ with the Animal Collective, then Panda Bear (Noah Lenbro) ‘taught’ DeerBro how to use his lil conceptual music making gadget. Feel like this is ‘basically just a new Panda Bear song’ or something. Not sure if I really want to say it is an ‘Atlas Sound’ song, because I feel like I would ‘like’ it 40% more if it was just ‘a Panda Bear song.’ I’m not sure what Bradford Cox (Deerhunter/AtlasSound bro) is trying to do, branding-wise. Have honestly never heard Atlas Sound, but would think that he is like some sort of indie rock guitar bro or something. Might be trying to rebrand, and get more on the ‘conceptual bandwagon’ [via Neon Indian theory].
Seems like this mp3 is ‘good’ and possibly ‘transcendental’ in an mp3blog kind of way. Feel like it is a ‘good song’ but also has too many opportunities to ‘namedrop band names’ to pass up blogging about it. I think that if you blog about this song, your blogsite will show up when people google “what is a good indie song, yall?”
Can’t believe Panda Bear’s “Person Pitch” came out in 2k7. Can’t believe it is already 2010. Sorta just feel ‘overwhelmed’ by 2k9, since it was the year of MPP, and I just want to chill to some Panda Bear solo without Avey Tare ‘yelling all over the place.’ Feel just like this song reminds me of ‘back when I didn’t have to think so much about conceptual music, and what it meant‘, and my personal brand could just sort of ‘coast’ by saying that I like Panda Bear.
Feeling sad that I will soon have 2 turn my back on ‘the Panda Bear aesthetic’ (probs after his next album is released). Heard Noah Lennox charges like $20K for his solo show. Might get him for my Super Sweet 16.

@sssshw, feel like that was ‘unwarranted’ and ‘hurtful’. But I am very respectul and jealous of your success. Damn you virtual, non-haptic keyboard!

@dandaroo, yeah and they stole it from the old plantation dance also known as the cake-walk. so completely un-original.

this is sounds good, but aside from a few modern production values, it sounds like any number of late 60s british bands, and they did it better (especially the vocal harmonies). next….

the song was okay but i didn’t realize anyone had the ability to say nothing in like 337 words……..

“Let the Blind Lead…” (8.6)
+
“Person Pitch” (9.4)
“Walkabout” = approximately 17.0 out of 10.0, [via the p4k-addition formula].
“Seems like this mp3 is ‘good’ and possibly ‘transcendental’ in an mp3blog kind of way” yeah.

@chorles, You have misstated the p4k formula; it is not only an addition formula, but, for optimal results, the result of the added numeros should be divided by 2, hence Walkabout (on the p4k rating scale) would garner approximately a 9/10 rating (with a +/- 1 margin of error). I ain’t no math genius – I simply have mastered the concept of alt formulas.

It was there – in Zach Hill’s ‘PAD’, while I played Streets of Rage 2 on SEGA GEN, and after a NIIICE smokeSESH out of a MERLINBONG – that i heard the TYYYYTEST Mp3 of 09′ Walkabout(around with you summtime clothes) My 30% half chub got 50% hard, I thought about ‘touching myself’ or ‘buying some acid’ – instead i just kept playing ‘SKATE’ (my fav character in SoR2) and smiled, and thought about ‘my parents’ and thought about when I was lil and ‘what i wanted to be when i grew up’ and in fact, i was imagining when I used to imagine myself older – playing streets of rage, getting into music that reminded me of stuff ‘my parents listened to’ but was ‘better and easier to make(via sampln)’
I went to aRESRVATION, ate some pancakes with some INDIANS, who were made out of NEON.
‘good night everyoooone’

Fuck this uninspired, highly enjoyable shit. This is the Puff Daddy/Kanye school of sampling.
Original songs blows this shit out of this fail cover.

I have to say this is a great track, has a very 60’s psyche-pop sound. A lot less annoying and weird than normal panda bear.

Feeling sad that I will soon have 2 turn my back on ‘the Dovers aesthetic’ (probs after they get too much mainstrm-alt coverage/bloggerage).

just a loop, with the same line repeated twice.

20k for a bro with an sp-404 and a mic with reverb?
this song is way underwhelming. panda bear is on autopilot on this song and i think your right, what the fuck is b-cox’s role in this? it is pretty much a couple loops together. he probably brought p-bear coffee or something.
Reply
I believe Braddax wrote almost every part for “walkabout” a.k.a “dovers jam” and then had Panda Bear “auto-pilot” on top of it

But srsly — Would you let them track video games? GG. I’d say so. Do you?
