    I have not …
    I have not experienced much of their music so my judgment is restricted to this one song and not the holistic impression that you have of the books. I’ll have to check out that album, and I can respect an enjoyment of cadence as opposed to the profundity of lyrics, but its disturbing how they seem to have never been introduced to the concept of brevity. As David Burn said: the better the singers voice, the harder it is to believe what their saying. In this case, itsBanalityOfContentThat slips by

    You really need to …
    You really need to get off this “hipster” thing. I probably don’t even know what you mean by that, so it isn’t worth arguing about. You really need to listen to the Books’ record “Lost and Safe” if you haven’t already. If you don’t think there’s incredible, mind-blowing songwriting going on, then it’s just a matter of taste, not superior or inferior intelligence. I for one really like the motor-mouth delivery of the lyrics even moreso than the words themselves.

    Why? Because …
    Why? Because everyone who listens to LC is a hipster, or because LC is a hipster? In both cases your wrong. The difference being that a contemporary hipster (one who talks ambiguously intentionally as to appear to have the semblance of profundity, is immured in a sphere of irony in order to deflect criticism, narcissistic, etc) and a guy who writes a song about Janis Joplin sucking his dick. what now?

    For everyone who finds this song interesting, or brilliant, try propounding your interpretation, because I have the feeling that everyone with aforementioned opinion does not know what the this song is expressing and for that reason they find it note worthy.

    Prove me wrong?

    Personally, I think this band is the most bombastic, pedantic and obfuscating attempt at spoken word poetry I have every experienced. I wish Leonard Cohen would kill each one of these magniloquent hipsters.
