G\u00f8r miserabel musik….trist? Nej, s\u00e5dan er det ikke, selvom de vel m\u00e5 have den overbevisning rundt p\u00e5 landets store s\u00f8dsuppeelskende lokalradioer. Ofte er det tv\u00e6rtom musikken indeholdende\/postulerende gl\u00e6de, der ikke vil lukke lytteren ind i sin solbeskinnede verden af unuanceret sj\u00e6leharmoni, og som derved afstedkommer udslet af irritation, m\u00e5ske endda ufuldkommenhed, hos modtageren. Hvorimod enhver kan crashe den bl\u00e5 sangs fortabte univers, tage del i dens nederlag, spejle alt der nogensinde er g\u00e5et galt i dens ufuldkomne \u00f8jne. Hvilket man som lytter naturligvis kan blive n\u00e6rmest euforisk opl\u00f8ftet af.<\/p>\n
S\u00e5ledes kan en ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’-opfordring kaste napalm over enhver spire til godt hum\u00f8r, give lyst til at g\u00f8re dens skaber alt ondt, mens en decideret st\u00e5-udenfor-sang, som lad os tage Sonic Youth’s vrede ‘Youth Against Facism’, uv\u00e6rgeligt bringer det helt store smil p\u00e5. The Walkmen’s Peter Bauer giver her, i et fremprovokeret svar p\u00e5 en i\u00f8vrigt positiv Lisbon<\/em>-anmeldelse fra Cokemachineglow, sit personlige bud p\u00e5 den miserable sangs attrraktion, det b\u00e5de for afsender og modtager:<\/p>\n A few records back, we stumbled on a few songs that I suppose were filled with \u201cmenace\u201d or anger and all those sorts of qualities you mention, but this anger (or whatever it is) was all put forth with a desire to have a good time, to let loose, to get across some kind of experience of the world that certain types of music and songs do for us. I remember driving around Philadelphia recently with my wife and I put on a Tom Waits song \u201cWhistle Down the Wind\u201d and she asked me why I would play this dour depressing song on such a nice afternoon. Well, I guess it was a rather depressing song, really kind of maudlin, and I guess she was right, it was really a terrible choice. But to me and, I think, to the rest of us in this group, sometimes it\u2019s in the most depressing types of songs, or the most angry types of songs, and so on, that you can find a whole hell of a lot of joy. It\u2019s not necessarily that the song is sad or happy or just another song about a girl or about a night on the town, but that it\u2019s got something behind it that\u2019s all in the pursuit of giving a sense of a real experience which is ultimately a good feeling.
