Speaking of "awful, but strangely alluring", I regularly get a song stuck
in my head - I'm pretty sure that Pete introduced me to the band.? I
know the song's called Nature, but that's all I've got.? There's some
high-pitched caterwauling, some fairly shambolic vocals and a really
really catchy section of tune.? It goes like this bom bom bom,
bom-ba-bom-ba-bom, da-da-doo-doo da-da-doo-doo.? Anyway, I love it, but
I can't remember for the life of me.
Pete?? PETE!?
Ah!? That would be '
Nature Is The Most Boring Mystery', by Bird Names!
I found it on an MP3 blog called... I can't remember what it was called but it had "Sheep" in the name
and was run by someone in Toronto.
I still have the mp3 so lemme know if you want a copy.? It's hard to find online; it was one of the band's first tracks and only released on a CDr:
Their first 'proper' album is nearest in sound/spirit, except maybe *more* lo-fi.? Excerpts here:
Pretty much everything else by the band (now defunct) is on Bandcamp:
'Open Relationship' is their TNSG, 'Wooden Lake/Sexual Diner' is their Dragnet.
