i want to tell you that Momus listened to alot of nursery rhymes.
the new album is good except for those nursery rhyme songs....like
frilly military, the birdcatcher, i remember when the oskar lp came
out. i read the lyrics before i got it. i hummed them along with a
sing-songy melody i had in my head, and damn if the actual song didn't
sound just like that! now that's sad.
being a freind of his patchness i really think this is the only safe
place i can express myself about the fact that he adpoted this nursery
rhyme melody thing with stars forever and has been using it ever since.
is he dry? or maybe the whole cutsy japanese jpop idolization is an
attempt do niche this boring trend of trivializing great lyrics with
pedestrian melodies. or maybe he thinks we are all stupid and he is
trying to dumb it down for us??
