The Afterlife by Electric Six
“I am almost certainly not going to sell you on Electric Six. They are not for all tastes: probably best suited to people with poor taste or no taste. But I love them. They're really good, and this track's been under my skin lately, so you get to spend some time with it. Compositionally, this could not be more square, but there is a nice chord there in the fourth bar. I like that chord. I like the concept of "audiophiles listening with their eyes". I like that the writer draws up a cliche, only to bungle it (I believe people who lay down with dogs get fleas, but he takes that and turns it). I like that this song, ostensibly about the afterlife, keeps getting distracted by a dog metaphor. And I like this video that someone made, making the fairly idiotic point that several famous people have died.”
This jam is special! The first and only time it’s been posted was by dnord in Nov 2014.
