Quite often do I read the articles in JUICE magazine because, they have good music reviews, and their writing, well their writing...
" An unforgettable mish-mash of plundering calliopes stuttering under the manical barking of a rabid carny is certainly hard to swallow, but will make you sit up and say "what the f**k?" And once through this piece of brilliant tomfoolery, the rest of the album is total musical genius."
-Exerpt from Article written by Elizabeth Lee on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah found in JUICE magazine page 26
Honestly, who writes like this! In that single sentence, I have learnt off Wikipedia:
1) Calliope was the muse of epic poetry. She had two sons, Orpheus and Linus with Apollo. She was the oldest and wisest of the Muses.
2) A Carny is anyone who runs a "joint" (booth), food "grab joint" stand, game, or ride at a carnival. Carnies are typified as sly and coercive salespeople, but the term itself merely refers to any employee of a travelling circus or carnival, regardless of behavior or intention.
Sonny and I recently split the CD (don't ask) and all I could manage was a "This is fun!", to which my friend added, "Yea, not your usual mopey indie music". Being a wordsmith is truly a craft.
Who said you couldn't learn anything from reading magazines. Tsk.
