I suppose I am wrong in the sense that any interpretation can be drawn
from any work.. But in my opinion there are better ways of expressing
within the confines of StereoLab.. One of my roomates would blast the
shit over and over.. Not that I hated it immediately, but after
repetitive listening, it disturbed me. I found it (relating it to my
youth) as pretentious as Jon Anderson (i think his name is) sang choir
like vocals on Yes's albums.. That is where the quote comes from..
I am not aware of any lyrical meaning from Stereolab probably because I
haven't payed enough attention.. But on the whole, I'll allow myself to
dislike them.. Those females drive me up the wall..
