Song Stuck in My Head; 5/25/09
Today I find myself looking back fondly on the paisley underground of the 80's, and one of the movement's very earliest exemplars, Sacramento's own--Game Theory.
I love the tranquil calm a thickly distorted electric guitar can create if you let it, and the kernel of bitter rage you can find within that calm if you look. This song is the perfect illustration. Notice also the two intertwined vocal leads in the second half of the song, telling separate stories about the same subject. Complex, imaginative, beautiful and original. A good song to have stuck in your head.

The paisley undergound of the 80's is terra incognita to me, but I agree with your second paragraph, though I haven't as clear an understanding of the lyrics as you have, but trust you in that regard. (Oops, all three of my last clauses shifted direction.)
I like the combo of the heavy distorted guitar and her delicate voice.
Once again you have made the sign of the Zee!
Spike: ah; but you know a clause from a phrase! Thank you!
derm: I thought this one might be appealing to you, and as going to call your attention to it by name, but feared you might already be familiar with their work. That's a dude singing, by the way. Glad you liked it!
Dude sings like a lady!
