I like Swoon more than langley park, but I find the latter a slog somehow. haven't listened to anything else much........

having your heroes hate each other might ultimately be good for your development

jordan is like hi-fi technicolor pop with lots of romanticism and late-80s synth patches and coos and shit, swoon is lo-fi and suddenly "cue fanfare" reminded me of modern-day lo-fi psych-y indie rock but the songwriting is more hairpin-turn-y and dissonant and oddball and sometimes to me slightly less satisfying than their other stuff, it's cool tho good albo

Lyrically, "Cars and Girls" is a comment on Bruce Springsteen's use of romantic metaphors in his songs.[5] McAloon felt Springsteen utilised "a poetry that an Englishman can’t understand".[6] The song is often seen as indicating a personal distaste for Springsteen, but McAloon elaborated on the lyrics in a 1992 interview; "The point of the parody is this: not that I think Bruce Springsteen is crap, it's that I think a lot of his audience get into him on a patriotic level that he doesn't intend. They misinterpret him, their enjoyment of him is inaccurate, all very imperialist American. I wanted to write a song about someone who was thick white trash, listening to Springsteen, and saying 'But our lives aren't like that'".[7]

I think of "appetite" as of a piece with the great songs on this album rather than as a standout, but a few people I know like it much more than the other stuff.
