Get into a discussion with an Animal Collective fan about why Merriweather Post Pavilion is so essential and "Brothersport" is going to come up. In fact, in comes up in pretty much everything I've ever read about MPP. Fans go gaga for it and while there are numerous cases of people trying to float balloons with no lift, this one goes up, up and away. And now, it has been given a video enhancement filled with wild children playing dress up, animated amoebas (?), and a blacklight lit egg smashing session. At the very least, its interesting and should satisfy any ADD leanings you may have.
