I SOMETIMES WONDER…
WHAT DO PEOPLE SEE IN CERTAIN GROUPS?
I SOMETIMES CAN'T HELP BUT BE THROWN FOR A LOOP
WHY SO MUCH ACCLAIM FOR ANIMAL COLLECTIVE?
WHEN SURELY, FOR MOST, THEY MUST BE TOO ECLECTIC
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE THEM TO BITS
BUT THEY'RE NOT THE SORT OF BAND TO WRITE RADIO HITS
WHAT ABOUT SONIC YOUTH, BLACK MIDI AND MBV?
BANDS THAT REMAIN BIG NO MATTER WHAT THEY RELEASE
A LOT OF RADIOHEAD'S SONGS COULD BE DESCRIBED AS DIFFICULT
BUT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY'RE THE ABSOLUTE PINNACLE
ORBITAL ALWAYS LEAVE FOLK YELLING FOR MORE
BUT THEIR BEATS ARE NOT EXACTLY ALWAYS FOUR TO THE FLOOR
IT'S NOT AS IF ORBITAL ARE NOT GREAT
BUT WHY NOT THE SAME DEVOTION FOR 808 STATE?
HOW COME PIXIES ARE SO BIG - I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND?
THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU'D CALL AN ORDINARY BAND
THEIR ODD TIME CHANGES CAN BE SO HARD TO DIGEST
AND THEIR USE OF NOISE AND ALL OF THE REST
IS IT JUST DOWN TO A HANDFUL OF ANTHEMIC SONGS
THAT MAKE PEOPLE STOP AND SPEND A BIT LONGER
ON WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL THEIR MORE DIFFICULT OEUVRE
AND GIVE SONGS A CHANCE THAT THEY'D NORMALLY SWERVE?
AND THEN HECKLE UNKNOWN BANDS THAT MIGHT KINDA DO SIMILAR
LIKE ARCHERS OF LOAF, WEAVES OR TRUPA TRUPA
AND HOW COME SOME OTHERS GO PRACTICALLY UNHEARD OF
LIKE CAPITOL K OR DISCO INFERNO?
AND WHAT ABOUT FOUR TET, BOARDS OF CANADA AND MOUNT KIMBIE?
WHEN FOLK IGNORE ELSA HEWITT, KILN AND NEDRY
YEAH! OH YEAH.
WHEN BANDS HAVE ONLY ONE OR TWO STRONG SONGS,
DO PEOPLE STILL REALLY LOVE THE REST OF THEIR WORK?
IS IT DOWN TO THE PRESS OR WORD OF MOUTH
OR COS THEY'RE TO FIT IN WITH SO-CALLED COOLER FOLK?
MOST PEOPLE ARE HAPPY TO HEAR SONGS
THAT SOUND EXACTLY LIKE STUFF THAT THEY'VE HEARD BEFORE
AND AREN'T TOO INTERESTED IN ANY BANDS
THAT HAVE THE INCLINATION TO EXPLORE
THE LESS TRAVELLED ROAD, OR GO IN DIRECTIONS
THAT DO NOT APPEAL WITHOUT CLOSER INSPECTION
WELL, WE'RE HAPPY TO BE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER
SO IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT WHAT YOU HEAR
PLEASE DON’T RUN AND TAKE COVER!
