Inspired by the discussion of Happy Singing Band, I'm going to share some of the more obscure Animal Collective related songs.

Although we've done these topics before, I've noticed a few new users who pop up frequently here so I'm going to share some rarely played and more unknown Animal Collective releases. Most of these were played live <5 times, some were played only once. The stuff that isn't live clips were played on rare compilation or overseas releases. This is roughly chronological as well. Not necessarily when they were written but when they were released.

I'm only including SOLO stuff or stuff where at least two members of Animal Collective are involved, so no Avey+Kria, no TT, no Jane, etc.

Also, some of these I have to guess whether or not Geo and Deakin were playing. Geo randomly played some shows in 2004, for example despite working on Capitol Hill at the time, so I don't know for a fact if he was ACTUALLY there. Some of the band members' presences are guesses, although Avey + Panda is present in every single recording except for Noah's Ark and the Deakin Avey Kria show and Seeing Twinkles.

Polly April 2004, Avey and Panda, Nirvana cover played live for a BBC Radio 1 Breezeblock Session, that version later released on the 2006 Purple Bottle white label as the B side.

206 May? of 2004, Avey Geo Panda, actually a reworked version of Ice Cream Factory, played only once I believe before they decided to shelve the song for good. (It's the first song, not the entire 57 minute video)

Pumpkin's Funeral 2001/July 2004, Avey+Panda?, this is on Animal Crack Box but that version was from Avey's practice recordings, this is the only time I think it was actually performed in a live setting.

Gas Mask July 2004, Avey+Panda?, Recording played once for WNYC Spinning on Air

Playpen July 2004, Avey+Panda?, Recording played once for WNYC Spinning on Air

Seeing Twinkles 2005, Deakin and Geologist, Music for Plants compilation

What I Do November 2005, Avey+Panda and TENTATIVELY Geo?, Played once for a BBC radio show.

From a Beach/Maya (both are names for this song) 2007, Avey+Panda+Geo, Performed a few times on the 2007 tour with MPP/Fall Be Kind songs.

Untitled January 2008, Avey + Deakin + Kria, performed once and parts of it were eventually worked into ODDSAC.

It's also worth mentioning that Iko Ovo, Jungle Heat, Hey Friend, Oh Sweet, and Do the Nurse off of Animal Crack Box have afaik never been performed. A lot of those recordings were taken from Avey's recording of the band's practices. Some songs on there have obviously been performed but the Crack Box version is usually an earlier version (We Tigers and Jimmy Raven, for example).
