Oh, sweet! Animal Collective left their presets on here!

Hmm, better check my notepad. Now, let’s see…did the part where we played random guitar strums while making animal noises. Yep. Check. Then we did the part where we overplayed some new riff for a song we haven’t actually written yet, right? Check. Then we played one of our singles, yuh huh. Check. Oh Avery Tare, you bureaucratic genius, you. This is the most efficient concert we’ve ever played!
