What are you listening to these days, old chum? Since you ask, Panda Bear. Are they a band? No, an actual panda bear. He's in a cage on my desk. I feed him bamboo shoots and coffee and he sings the blues. Of course, they're a band. Sarky. I was only making conversation. Any use, this band? A lot of use. I've been listening to their album Perfect Pitch for two weeks solid. Unusual for me, 'cos normally I've musical ADD. Interesting. I have sexual ADD. Please. What do Panda Bear sound like? Brian Wilson on acid. You mean, even more acid? I stand corrected. Thought you were done with all this 60s-sounding stuff. As did I. Just shows you how good they are, doesn't it? Touche. How good exactly? Spectacular. The harmonies, the melodies, the psychedelic arrangements, the incorporation of world music, the wise-child lyrics, the massive _ambition_ of the songs. If it came out in the 60s, they'd been as big as the Beach Boys, the Beatles, Herman's Hermits, any of those guys. I'm convinced. But how do you _know_? Well, I don't _know_. I'm just enthusiastic is all. Don't take everything I say literally. Wait . . . I'll just write that down . . . _there_. So, you like them, this "Panda Bear"? Well spotted. But it's more than mere _like_. I want to shout from the rooftops about them! Off you go then. There's a fire-escape up the hall, turn left. Got a megaphone on you? No, it's just a crease in my trousers. Please.

PS. You digging Mr. Panda Bear?
PPS. What do you think of the dialogue style above for a reveiw? Is it too mad? I might use it again.
My Trusted MOGs
There I go again forgettin' to comment on the actual reason for a post. I came by to see what you wrote about Panda Bear (the person), since it quenched your thirst so well (as the gazette noted)! And I can see why.
The owl thingy sound in the beginning scared me, but maybe my phones we up too high. It's more psychedelic greatness and I'm digging! And I _especially_ love the video!! I'd definitely like to hear the album.
And I think the dialogue is a novel idea! I'm thinking this isn't "mad" enough though. I'm afraid after your last review, people's expectations (for mad) may rise pretty high for your work. Talk about putting emphasis, exaggeration and emotions into writing, it is quite a skill, I'd say!
My Trusted MOGs
Thanks for that feedback, Helen! Yes, I see what you mean about it not being mad enough. It is a little bloodless compared to the stuff I've written recently - I don't think I'd written a "proper" review at this point (wow, this feels like that scene in Annie Hall when Alvy takes Annie back in time to his house as a child). Have I grown as an artiste?!! Ok, enough self-indulgence! Ta for taking the time to reply, as recompense, there may be a Panda winging its way to you soon...
My Trusted MOGs
And you're Alvy...? Haha, that's a good one! And the pleasure in the reply is mine! I'm always delighted to see question marks at the end of your sentences!
