CHRISTMAS MIRACLE

The new Animal Collective album has leaked. Several people have asked me what I've gotten for Christmas...and nothing else comes to mind. Who gave this to me? The fates? Some dude off the Animal Collective message board? Yes and yes. Some songs I already heard, either live at Pitchfork, bootlegs, or leaked tracks. But nothing, NOTHING beats it all together, in all of its produced glory.
I pretty much gave up on Christmas back when I was 8 or 9, when I found out Santa Claus wasn't real. But I see now that perhaps Christmas is worth celebrating after all...
