To JF, *applause*

To OP/Helix142 -- if you like podcasts, check out "Strong Songs" with Kirk Hamilton. He digs deep into the composition of songs, has covered rock as well as pop, jazz, video game and theme songs. Besides his analysis of TMBG's "Fingertips," I highly recommend his treatments of "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead and "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age.

I feel like your music (and rock in general) isn't really analyzed on a critical level. Like most people really only analyze classical or jazz, on a good day (depending on how you look at it) some really popular pop songs, but that's mostly just to hate on how simple it is.

I really do wish people thought about rock more. It's kind of a vague title, but I feel like TMBG has a specific vibe. If I knew anything about music theory i'd analyze it. It's cool. That's the post, really. I wish people thought about your music on a deeper level!

I hear what you are saying but I don't know if I want to go back to the good old days. Just being able to hear recorded music has gone from a very restricted experience to an effortless one, and that has pulled the rug out from under the basic utility of criticism.

There was a short run when critic would try to explain the East Village scene in general (music and visual art) when they talked about our albums, but that was short lived... and I'm not even sure how much sense those conversations made.

So much of rock music magazines were filled with angry rock dudes thoughtfully explaining how little they were interested in Blondie, or Joni Mitchell or the Carpenters when they could have just written "I don't like women right now" and be done with it.
