Mark B. on The Carpenters

The Carpenters

square, corny sure but its the
> musical anti-dote to
> most of the harsh on you tube, most of em they are
> playing/singing every
> note, full arrangements at that, pitch perfect, and
> its a fantasy world
> where strings, drums, voices, amps, a daring chord
> or two, all melt, a
> brother and sister like little twins in a sandbox,
> and they just happened to
> monster musicians.
>
> Everything else I check out just doesn't do it
> after that, my sappy side
> has been hijacked, see you are in trouble when you
> start crying to Sing a
> Song, and all that while looking at their perfect
> suburban whiteness (that I
> wish I had growing up, with the added feature of it
> being a brother and a
> sister, visibly digging the moment, while the
> perverted me stepped out of
> the room, really- Karen just needs a hug).
> The cure for this is>>>, go to Braxton, make a mean
> comment, then got to
> Brecker Bros, JB, or some funny shit, etc.... then
> study of pic of Danni
> Ashe in her prime. and back to suicidal thoughts
> then the fix, back to
> Carpenters.
> (but you have to also pretend its 1970 - 1974 for it
> to work, or you just
> get too sad, and ....then you become mush, sappy and
> sad, cause of course
> like many extremely gifted kids they were mental
> cases and possibly abused,
> and the story just goes south after 1972, almost a
> David Lynch story,
> almost.)
