Maybe I'm having an identity crisis. When I listen to the STRFKR tracks that I own intentionally (as opposed to when they come up randomly), I question why I keep giving their songs high ratings on my iPod. They really don't fit any of the normal criteria for songs that I like, but if I listen to their songs without analyzing why I like them, I fall right back into liking them all over again. I think it might be because each song is like 100 songs in one; it's very electronic and weird, but the melody changes a lot throughout, so if there is one portion that maybe is a little annoying, before long it changes to something else. Their music is like watching one of those fiber optic Christmas trees spin around... at first glance, those trees are kind of ugly and really plastic and weird, but you just can't help yourself from watching it spin around and slowly change colors. By the end you are like "I HAVE TO BUY ONE OF THOSE FIBER OPTIC CHRISTMAS TREES!!!" and you do, and you still have it plugged in and running in July and you are proud of it and it makes you happy and then you take a deep breath and eat some brownies and a whole bag of Funyuns at the same time because that IS how you roll, bro.
