"You Are The Worst Thing In The World", by Telefon Tel Aviv. A fine song from a fine album, an album with such intense depths of emotion locked into the very sound of it that one is inclined to think that it is little wonder that one of their number didn't survive its completion. When I am listening to this album while walking, there are moments when I stagger. Is it just that I am programmed to respond to certain analog synth sounds, whereas you might not be? Or is there something inherently devastating in those sounds?
In any event, the (rhetorical) question must be asked: Why is it that when, in this song, the synth goes out of tune, it is art, whereas when the same thing happens during the live portion of Joy Division's "Still", it is just the synth going out of tune?
