Read about the band's inspiration for Transverse Temporal Gyrus
Animal Collective live at Brixton Academy. I've been dying to see these guys play live! I totally missed out on the Koko show and thought this was where I'd redeem myself.
They played a lot of tracks from their latest album Merriweather Post Pavillion which is all kinds of fun to listen to (I kept singing Lion in a Coma before the gig).
The show was quite a tough one to shoot since it was so dark most of the time (including after the first 3 songs). The guards had no idea when the songs were ending since the band literally powered through the songs without gaps for applauds. They eventually just told us to leave when it got to a point that we were there for quite a bit hehe. I suppose it wasn't dark, but there was lacking in front lights so you couldn't see their faces well, it all suited the music but not our cameras hehe.
After my 3 songs I went back into the crowd and did a few shots there (mm bypassing that bit where you hand your bag to the security folks). I took several wide shots using the digital zoom to focus in properly.
What else? That's about it, they ended up with Brother Sport and came backfor an encore and ended with Lion in a Coma. At times I felt like the moments happened right near the end with tracks like Brother Sport and Lion in a Coma. There were a few other good tunes too but them two were my highlights where the crowd were enjoying it the most.
In early Egyptian mythology, Anhur (also spelled Onuris, Onouris, An-Her, Anhuret, Han-Her, Inhert) was originally a god of war who was worshipped in the Egyptian area of Abydos, and particularly in Thinis. Myths told that he had brought his wife, Menhit, who was his female counterpart, from Nubia, and his name reflects this—it means (one who) leads back the distant one.
One of his titles was Slayer of Enemies. Anhur was depicted as a bearded man wearing a robe and a headdress with four feathers, holding a spear or lance, or occasionally as a lion-headed god (representing strength and power).
Due to his position as a war god, he was patron of the ancient Egyptian army, and the personification of royal warriors. Indeed, at festivals honoring him, mock battles were staged. During the Roman era the Emperor Tiberius was depicted on the walls of Egyptian temples wearing the distinctive four-plumed crown of Anhur.

The mouse is somewhat similar to the black sheep in terms of symbolism. The logo and mount of Ganesh, the first son of Shiva and Parvati, was a mouse. Mythical scholars say it represents the aspect of the Divine within us. The word is associated with the Sanskrit, "musa," deriving from the root word, "mus," meaning "to steal." This little gang are the Gods of Fraud, just look at their Mafia style.

The fauna of mirrors is an ancient Chinese myth that behind every mirror there is an entirely different world. This other dimension is home to creatures that are unknown to earth. The inhabitants are in no way similar to the creatures of earth.

The lynx has a prominent role in Greek, Norse, and North American mythology. It is considered an elusive and mysterious creature, known in some American Indian traditions as a 'keeper of secrets'. It is also believed to be gifted with supernatural eyesight, capable of seeing even through solid objects. As a result, it often symbolises the unravelling of hidden truths, and the psychic power of clairvoyance.

Daksha: According to Hindu legend, Daksha is one of the sons of Lord Brahma, who, after creating the ten Manas Putras, created Daksha, Dharama, Kamadeva and Agnifrom his right thumb, chest, heart and eye-brows respectively.Besides his noble birth, Daksa was a great king. Pictures show him as a rotund and obese man with a stocky body, protruding belly, and muscular with the head of an ibex-like creature with spiral horns.
Yajna:In Hinduism, yajña (Sanskrit: यज्ञ; IAST: yajña, also transliterated yagya or yadnya) or yagam (Tamil: யாகம்), is a ritual of offerings accompanied by chanting of Vedic mantras (also "worship, prayer, praise, offering and oblation, sacrifice" according to Monier-Williams) derived from the practice in Vedic times.
Here's the Story of Daksha’s Yajna
I love Animal Collective! If there was a way I could print this out to be a black light poster I think that would be intensely awesome.

Bonnaroo 2009 in Manchester, TN shot for SPIN.
First of all, amazing show!
What you're seeing in this diptych. The bassist looked at me and then looked at Lauren Trzaska, the 5'1" female photographer to my left who shoots for Venus Magazine. He mouthed to her, "Are you ready?" and then JUMPED on top of her. He didn't even miss a note. My first instinct was to take photos of it (right), then I realized I should help her up! She later found me at the SPIN campsite while I was editing the photos. She didn't even remember me helping her up or talking to me.
