I wanna publish 'zines
And rage against machines
I wanna pierce my tongue
It doesn't hurt, it feels fine
The trivial sublime
I'd like to turn off time
And kill my mind
You kill my mind, mind
Paranoia, paranoia
Everybody's coming to get me
Just say you never met me
I'm running underground with the moles, digging holes
Hear the voices in my head
I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring
But if you're bored, then you're boring
The agony and the irony, they're killing me (whoa)

From “Dots and Loops” which is an all timer for me.
A song about trompe l’oeil artwork (“trick the eye”) that maybe isn’t about that at all - at face value, it seems more likely to be about seeking simultaneously to deceive while being open and honest about the fact you are deceiving… an “it’s complicated” relationship song?
If you dig Stereolab, try to dig up some McCarthy tunes, Tim Gane’s first band (featured on the old C86 cassette which is also worth tracking down although you can hear it in full on the YouTubes). The left wing politics are similar and on tracks like these you hear them breaking away from the Smiths-jangle sound of the moment toward what they would become: https://open.spotify.com/track/5M4UHn0I5O9xvgIaiEhzFY?si=dHKv5WcHTES1gdVAvCdxSw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A5PptRExr0j579qu7OrCxqt

A banger. Been thinking about how he makes like anti americana (europana?). Sure it's an idea expressed better elsewhere. Instead of a Brit singing about Texas and whisky, he is an American singing about the Costa brava and drinking Buckfast by the Clyde. It even mirrors in the music, incorporating stuff like Irish folk influences

Put on the robe, turn on adult swim or whatever, crank the ac, eat a late night snack in one bed and sleep in the other. The freedom of impersonal liminal space.
