I've Got Clothes in Different Area Codes

Anyone who thinks about music at all knows that the most fun part is categorizing it. Especially because no one will ever agree with 100% of what you say, and you won't agree 100& with them either. That's the beauty of intelligent discourse. These things being said, I've decided that a lot of music sounds like clothes. Here are a few examples:

  • Neil Young -- flannel shirts
  • the Strokes -- dirty jeans
  • Interpol -- single needle, tailored suits
  • Bloc Party -- track jackets
  • the Decemberists -- pirate gear
  • Franz Ferdinand -- a fine vest
You see. It's easy, and fun.
