Say that five times fast. It’s all true: There’s this strange clip featuring “Stereo“‘s distinctive opening guitar; instead of ruminations on Geddy Lee’s speaking voice, though, we hear a Korean voice over and see images of model-esque people (and a dog) with cars, houses, and motorcycles (and a bone) floating around their heads. It’s all about desire, dreams. As the Daily Swarm points out, it’s also about strange overlaps with that last stanza from “Cut Your Hair”: “Songs mean a lot when songs are bought / And so are you / Face right down to the practice room / Attention and fame’s a career / Korea, chorea, career.” Nostradamalkmus. High-ho silver ride:

“Stereo”!!! People forget or don’t realise just how radical “Wowee Zowee” was for a band that was “almost big” (10 people were digging it at the time.) There was something real prickish about Malmus back then. Me and Malk went down seemingly different paths in the years since… yet now I bump into him all the time. (He steals my I-pod while I sleep.) “Four Sail” line up of Love? … Yeah I know bitchin…
pigs they tend to wiggle when they walk
Stranded in Canton: “Stereo” is on “Brighten the Corners,” not “Wowee Zowee.”
