If Xiu Xiu and Animal Collective got in a fight, who would win?

[SpankyPants]

Both bands are equally bizarre (and kickass) in their own way. Which would win in a battle of... whatever they are?

I'm voting for Xiu Xiu. I think Animal Collective would just get stoned and play a djembe while Xiu Xiu sneaks up and unleashes some devastating sound made by rubbing a balloon with a contact mic on it... multiplied by 1000.

[HollowBassman]

Never heard of either.

Here's where I insert an indier-than-thou comment to feed your musical insecurities.

But I'll just wink instead.

[HollowBassman]

Fair-enough. I'll just turn on some Stellar Watson and wonder where my life went wrong.

Xiu Xiu, definitely. There's a (not-so) subtle hint of "I am insane and could murder all of my friends in a second" feel to their music.

"Oh wait, you totally did know that that would happen..."

Am I the only one who thought these were cartoon characters?

[SpankyPants]

Animal Collective kind of are cartoon characters...
