Fantastic music, very very different sounding. They do a lot of recordings and incorporate it into their music.

Vogt Dig for Kloppervok

All Your Base Are Belong To Them

Smells Like Content


Listen through the whole album of Thought for Food, great stuff. It has a warmth about it and the recordings all get your mind really engaged.

I’m a fan. Very unusual but it grew on me. I think you have to pick your spots with this. One of my kids is a dj at KLSU and that’s how I started hearing it. The Lemon Of Pink.

Read through some of the stuff on songmeanings.com, it’s fascinating

LINK

For instance on Vogt Dig For Kloppervok

1. The title is "Beware the Jabberwock" in Danish, which is a line from Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky."

2. The first "verse" of the song is the first paragraph of the poem.

3. "Kommen sie in" means "come in" in German, said respectfully.

4. "Kalaallit Nunaata Radioa" (referred to as KNR) is the national radio and television station of Greenland. It translates directly to "Greenland Radio," but in English KNR is usually translated as "Greenland National Broadcasting Company," as it is on KNR's website, .

5. The next sentence says "Greenland's radio: we wish you good night." in Danish.

6. And "Tamassi sinilluaritsi" is the plural form of "sleep well" in Greenlandic, the language of the indigenous people of Greenland.

7. So that enigmatic central paragraph means "Greenland Radio. Good night." in the two official languages of Greenland.

8. The last two paragraphs are again a collection of lines from "Jabberwocky," though they are out of order and the four lines come from three different stanzas. Carroll defined "uffish" as "a state of mind when the voice is gruffish, the manner roughish, and the temper huffish."

The "All Your Base..." song is what got me into them. Randomly downloaded it off Limewire or Kazaa or one of those p2p's back in the day because of the name and the meme it was taken from and been a fan ever since.

The "Oh Peter you did do well!" wormed it’s way into my brain


I was born on the day that music died
The essence and the accidents,
The tin and the tungsten, yes baroness,
Take a ride downtown and stay warm by the fire.
I know how to go but I don't know how to steer,
The Buddha and the Dharma and the Santa Maria,
Take a ride downtown and stay warm by the fire,
I was born on the day that music died

Very cool. But I think you have to like to deep dive to really get it, it’s not for people who don’t “ get” music!and appreciate the stuff outside the edges. For a while I got in the habit of playing it on my Spotify as I went to bed . Very mesmerizing before bed.

Yeah I guess I’d agree. It can be enjoyed on just first listen but it’s almost like the more you "study" it the more the song opens up. A click of the tape or some other sound in the background that you didn’t notice until the 10th listen that just makes the magic of the song unfurl even more. A cerebral and thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Bump for an interesting article on why they broke up. Reeeeally wish they’d reconcile and start getting creative again.

Listening to them his evening, they were creative geniuses.

Motherless Bastard


Such a great song


Child: "Mommy! Daddy... Mommy! Daddy!... Mom? Dad?"
Man: "You have no mother or father."
Child: "Yeah I do!"
Man: "No, they left; they went somewhere else."
Child: "No, you're right here! I do!"
Man: "I'm not; I don't know you."
Child: "Daddy... "
Man: "Don't touch me; don't call me that in public."
