I like forms and forms like me

[sovay]

I am not surprised that I had never heard of Pylon before tonight. I am also not surprised that I love them. They are spiky and spare and apophatic—the musical equivalent of Ceci n'est pas une pipe, only headbangingly danceable. Their catchiest songs are anti-anthems. This after I spent much of today plying asakiyume with mythic folk. Maybe it's the same angle of my brain that really likes Pierrot Lunaire.

(I love Pierrot Lunaire. It is eerie and that is one of its main attractions.)

Schonberg is god. Though I must admit, even I cannot listen to Pierrot Lunaire all the way through; I take it in small doses when necessary.
