Dirty Projectors – Swing Lo Magellan Lyrics 13 years ago
A 9x6 and an 8x7 rectangle have the same circumference (= 30). My boyfriend pointed that out for me (thanks!). Still, not sure if it's significant.

Wild Beasts – The Devil's Crayon Lyrics 16 years ago
There's something gay about this band. Devil's Paintbrush is a famous gay novel by Jake Arnott. Hmmm...

XTC – Roads Girdle The Globe Lyrics 16 years ago
Why has nobody written about this song? It's certainly the most interesting on the album. What a bizarre chord progression and driving bassline! Wot u got?

Owen Pallett – Blue Imelda Lyrics 17 years ago
In my opinion it sounds like a gay man's love song to women. there's an element of repression and bravado when he says that a humble ("sheepish", "barely able to say it [sex?]") man's life is his job and sex ("plough" and "pussy"). He conjures up a lot of sexual images, like your average heterosexual man is accustomed to ("your shirt is torn to ribbons"), but at the end of the day he just keeps himself "pious" and chaste, and asks "Woman, can I take you as a friend?".

Such a beautiful song though. He's obviously very passionate about this Imelda lady! And the steel drums sound brilliant with the Zac Condon's sweet brass melody.

Dirty Projectors – Rise Above Lyrics 17 years ago
We are born with a chance, and I'm gonna have my chance.

Great lyrics by Black Flag, but the musicianship and delivery of Dirty Projectors is phenomenal - I've seen them twice, and they are incredible. I hope David Longstreth keeps this band, cos they work so well (even tho it's a different band on recording...)
