that said "why is everybody tripping?"
i thought that she was saying 'i won't sleep with you' or 'im not sleeping
with you' or something. but 'you know what' might actually fit better.
.. and it's really bizarre that this thread should come up now b/c i
actually just started noticing a lot of the little bits you're talking about
just last week.
it's clever; they have the little stuff hidden behind the big obvious ones
.. like the very blatent "BOARDS OF CANADA" in the song mentioned above. and
of course, "ORANGE!" ..yeah, that's right. :) you hear those things and
think that's all there is to the song. i think it's an excellent way to give
actual meaning to songs in a genre that is made up mostly of songs that are,
besides personally and internally, meaningless to the listener. not that
every song has to have a meaning to it; but sometimes it's nice to be able
to say 'sixtyten is about rape, and that's why it's the scariest track on
the album.' or 'aquarius is about tripping, and that's why it's so goofy and
nonsensical and awesome.' :)
i feel bad for people who aren't into boc, must be a painful couple days
readin' the IDM.
noah
