Animal Collective was great at SSSport | Ra Ra Riot Up Next

Summer's here with all it's free show glory - and as long as the rain

holds off I'll be out there. I already skipped out on Television last

weekend to duck into FAO to keep dry. Damn rain. Damn giant floor

piano.

I was never a huge fan of Animal Collective after a miserable Bowery

Ballroom show a couple years ago, but fell for them completely when

they hit the South Street Seaport recently. I'd almost be tempted to

go to their next show if it wasn't at Webster and wasn't 20 bucks. At

least I'll have Panda Bear this Saturday. Maybe that's why I liked

Animal Collective so much this time: they seemed to take more a step

in Person Pitch's direction.

The next SSSport, that's urbandictionary-speak for South Street

Seaport, you fogies, is June 29th's Ra Ra Riot first show since the

tragic loss of their drummer. I'll be heading home that weekend, but I

wish i could be there. My buds in Sam Champion are opening too.
