For the first time in years, "Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)"
Usually there's a good reason why I haven't listened to something in years, but I'd forgotten how good this is!

The lyrics are (almost) as strange as Joanna's, too. Here's an example from "The Fat Lady of Limburg":

If affairs are proceeding
As we're expecting,
Soon enough
the weak spots will show.
I assume you understand that we have options on your time,
And will ditch you in the harbour if we must:
But if it all works out nicely,
You'll get the bonus you deserve
From doctors we trust.

The Fat Lady of Limbourg
Looked at the samples that we sent
And furrowed her brow.
You would never believe that
She'd tasted royalty and fame
If you saw her now.
But her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue
The subtleties a spectrograph would miss,
And announce her decision,
While demanding her reward:
The jellyfish kiss.

The above song also has a very nice Laurie Anderson -ish "brass" line.

Oh - in the previous song:
Back in Blighty, there was you
There were milkmen every morning

Hate to contaminate the forum with this, but I've been reading up on how horrible Odd Future is and I ended up listening to a song by them. It's hypnotic, in the worst way possible.

by **Weirdelves** on 07 Mar 2012, 15:05

Reading up on how horrible they are? A lot of the Oddfuture stuff is really good.

I can't ever like a group as homophobic and violent as them.
