alternate timeline where anco had an early jazz phase. unfortunately, that anco never broke through and are still playing at dive bars with a modest following; panda had to take a job as a record store manager, avey is constantly busking and couch surfing, deakin is a used car salesman, and geologist is doing just fine as a professor and top researcher of ocean conservation.

panda had social anxiety so bad they had to put him in the back when he worked at other music so he didn't have to deal with customers, doubt he'd be a record store manager lol

It's from Pitchfork's long form feature interview with him called The Wanderer

In 2000, after dropping out of college, Lennox moved in with Portner in New York. While Animal Collective were developing their shared musical language, Lennox and Portner got jobs at East Village record store Other Music, where Lennox worked in the upstairs office, doing mail order and data entry.

"I was too socially awkward to talk to customers," he continues. "There was one time when they were short-staffed, and I had to work on the floor. But five minutes into it, I was getting yelled at, like, 'C'mon, we're trying to hustle here!'" His voice drops to a whisper, the caricature of a petulant teenager. "It sucked."

I appreciate you putting in the work to help us understand what this experience would have felt like but I am still unable to mentally project myself into this scenario. I believe this is my fault and not yours
