I would have to say that the few Flaming Lips ep's
that I have off of the "Yoshimi Vs. The pink Robots"
(or whatever that album is called) are pretty
embarrassing, in that they have this whole sissy thing
about them, what with the lead singers falcetto voice
and the indi-rock guitar strumming and kinda
candyflipping hipster lyrics. Whenever I play that
stuff I feel sort of dorky.
Add to that list Funkstorung "Disconnected" which a
good third of falls into the gay sissy vibe catogory,
and Telephone Tel Aviv's latest effort. Not that I'm
homophobic or anything, but when the emotional black
man trying to sound like Bjork starts singing how he
got his heart broken by a grey haired man in high
heels, it's a little wierd. Actually some friends of
mine were trying to describe that album, and the only
adjectives they could come up with were "gay" for
certain songs. Which BTW isn't a bad thing. But it's
totally wierd when you try and fit that music into the
context of those artists other work, especially
Funkstorungs' kinda more flexing hardcore DSP bad-ass
muthafucka hip-hop testosterone macho tracks on that
album, it's like they either are trying to appeal to
various "music marketing" demographic niches or have
some wierd bipolar identity crisis going on. And
Telephone Tel Aviv went from IDM that people that
don't like IDM like, to not really IDM that people
that like IDM think sounds like smooth jazz diva stuff
that should be played at some stupid yuppie bar or
some sleek stupid "design elements" kind of store that
sells slick modular couch ensembles made in italy or
something. --- Theorema Binario
