| Les Savy Fav – Hold on to Your Genre Lyrics
| 16 years ago

This jam came out before the whole vampire, Twilight craze. Did Les Savy Fav help start the type of fad that they criticize? Probably not, but I like to visualize goths and hipsters alike dancing like crazy to this song, because, while it seems kind of emo, it really transcends genres in subject matter. Maybe they gave it a goth rock sound because goths tend to stick to their genre more than anyone. Anyway, do the mood and vocals in this remind anyone else of Billy Idol? |

| Fleet Foxes – Your Protector Lyrics

It's incredible how they, by Fleet Foxes standards, rock out on this song, but still maintain a soothing, tranquil sound. As for the meaning or the song, it seems to me to be about a girl leaving her home and family to go out and experience the world for the first time, meeting a more experienced boy along the way, only to be disillusioned and hurt by the harsh realities revealed to her and eventually killed by them. |

Funny, like Sparknotes in the form of an album. But, it does help to have read the book. Anyway, I agree with Moe2000 in that the song flies by, despite its length. I love how the song picks up intensity at the line "into the deep blue sea." It's like a children's bedtime story being read in the heaviest, scariest way possible. It literally gave me goosebumbs the first time I heard that line. |

| Primus – My Friend Fats Lyrics

It seems that in this song, Les is trying to defend his Fats and convince people that he is a good man, despite his alcoholism, rudeness, and generally reckless lifestyle. This is most evident in the final stanza, "Fats, he's a hell of a man. Can't y'all understand? Him taunting his mortality, He's unnerved by sobriety." At this point, les is desperately trying to defend Fats, but even Les cannot keep from revealing his behavioral flaws. |

As a new member to this site, I am glad that this is the first song I post my comments on. I agree more that this song is about the dissappearance of certain genres of music than that it is a religious statement. This is illustrated in Larry's hair metal costume in the video and the simple fact that Les is playing an upright bass, an instrument that is nontraditional and past its climax of popularity. And besides, does Les really seem like a religious guy? |
