I get it.
It's CRAP. The worst CRAP i have ever heard. I would ride Greyhound for six months straight through the American South than have to hear an entire album side of this coked-out musicless music.

recall the "either you like it or don't" paradigm I pointed out in my first post on this thread. I don't think you 'dont' get it', I just think you 'don't like it'. s'fine.

Utilizing "subversion" is a dim trick anyway.
Ooooh, they're sneaking in sleaze and middle America doesn't get it! Ha!Ha!

This is no acheivement, chooches!

no kidding. It's just funny.

How much of rock n' roll is about sex and drugs and weird underbellies? You're creating value in hidden messages to justify your love of souless jass rock!

this is the stuff you saying I no like. why do you think any of the arguing that's gone on has been a justification? I think it follows back to the 'people enjoy music ironically' thing. I don't have to teach myself to like 'em, I just do. No justification necessary.


try again!

Then why, like Itchy, do people tell me I don't get it? Why the protracted analysis of the goofy lyrics, even in this very thread?

it's a point of reference that has nothing to do with the music, just like the Pedrospeak glossary for Minutemen/Watt lyrics.

Well, OK then, next time I'm in line at the bank waiting to deposit my check or I'm buying some diapers, I'll reevaluate.

So what you're implying here is that any band that is played in muzak form is intrinsically a CRAP band. Can you not think of one band that you've heard in muzak form that you would consider good? Maybe a Mowtown band, or Dylan or the Beatles or CCR or somebody? No? Okay, carry on then.

Doude, your logic here is totally pretzel!!

BOOYAH!!!

I didn't write word one about muzak.

The Steely Dan I hear at the grocery store is performed and arranged by Steely Dan.

Do I hear the Beatles at the grocery store? Yes. Those grocery store Beatles songs are fucking garbage.

Cleanup in Aisle Number Nine!.....Number Nine!.....Number Nine!.......

because those people are annoying. the lyrical analysis is because people come here to dork out about music, no? s'funny.

Holy fuck, Kerble. I just read that after posting about mine. I think you and me are the only two people in the world that know about that thing... Or wait... did I just steal it out of a store bought copy of "Mr. Machinery Operator and -think- it was "promo only"?

I had one too. I got it from the counter of some record store when I was in high-school. def. promo. I linked to it earlier in response to vockins' "My Rock N Roll doesn't need a Manual"

And it's a scam, and against nature, and must go.

For my part, I love it when a Dan tune comes on the overhead speakers when I'm shopping for a white belt or cereal. It's a treat. I sing along.

I shit you not. The first time I heard anything from the stellar Morph The Cat was in Marshall Field's when I was looking for a white belt to go with my seersucker suit. Found a nice chapeau right there too.
