Fri, 03 Jul 2009 04:29:23 +0000 http://brandonsbuzz.com/?p=2092#comment-3552 As much I had hoped otherwise, <a href="http://brandonsbuzz.com/2008/05/31/when-everything-inside-me-looks-like-everything-i-hate/#comments" rel="nofollow">my previous comments</a> on Regina Spektor apply just as well to <i>Far</i>. However, let me add one more bit: there is absurdity, and then there is absurdity <i>and</i> annoyance <i>together</i>, a potent combination, as <i>Far</i> illustrates. Just two examples: (1) see if you can listen to “Calculation” long enough to get to the inexplicable lines: “So we made our own computer out of macaroni pieces / And it did our thinking while we lived our lives,” and (2) tell me if the first minute of the “Dance Anthem of the 80s” doesn’t literally hurt your mind, body, and soul... She is vile, no doubt. As much I had hoped otherwise, my previous comments on Regina Spektor apply just as well to Far.
