And Nod... well, Nod fascinates me - they're a unique band, with a unique sound, and I can never tell if they're genius or if I just enjoy their brand of seemingly haphazard chaos. The closest comparison I can think of is Pavement - but a far<\/em> looser and grittier Pavement. In fact, they make Pavement sound downright slick, but that lo-fi, let-it-all-hang-out, jammin but not like that<\/em>, aesthetic that Pavement plays with? Nod is saturated with it. In \"G-Thing\", as in most of their tunes, the guitars and bass seem almost oblivious to each other, most of the time. They just chug through the song structure that the singer and the drummer enforce, doing their own thing, not too concerned about key or melody or what the other guys are doing. The singer and his guitar stay roughly in sync, rhythmically at least. But on the whole it sounds very, umm, free-form. So, to discover that they grafted this chunk of an obscure Kinks song into it - and that it sounds absolutely natural in context - makes me reassess their abilities. Are they craftier than they let on? Is this chaos more organized than it sounds? Probably.<\/p>\n Though I should probably stop trying to figure out how bands work. Some things are best left mysterious.<\/p>\n
